"A familiar face joined the "Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions" on Monday night. "Abbott Elementary" star Lisa Ann Walter got her chance to play after winning "Celebrity Jeopardy!" in 2024. Walter couldn't participate in the tournament last year due to the writer's strike and scheduling conflicts. But it was an incorrect question that may get her into some trouble with her adopted city of Philadelphia. The answer was: "In the 18th century, it was America's biggest port, trading for linen and tea; Later it traded for Steve Carlton & Roy Halladay.""
"Walter responded with the question: "What is New Orleans?" Unfortunately, she didn't make it to final Jeopardy!, but she gave the crowd plenty of laughs. "Look, I don't mind losing, but I have a job that I like!" she joked. When speaking about her "Celebrity Jeopardy!" trophy, she told host Ken Jennings she has plans to use it as her urn. And it wasn't a joke, she says it's actually in her will."
