Mira Sorvino and tonight's Celebrity Jeopardy contestants (Jan. 2, 2024)

Who's ready for another round of Celebrity Jeopardy tonight? I sure am! The game show is back with a new episode this evening, Jan. 2, 2024 at 8 p.m. ET. on ABC. We've finally reached the point where we're kicking off the semifinals. Three celeb contestants compete this evening, but only one moves on to the finals for the chance to win some big money for their chosen charity.

We've had so many great stars on this season, but we're nearing the end starting with tonight's first semifinals round. So who can you expect to see? Tonight's Celebrity Jeopardy contestants are Mira Sorvino from Shining Veil, Utkarsh Ambudkar from Ghosts, and b from Abbott Elementary.

In the quarterfinals, Sorvino beat out Adam Rodriguez and Peter Schrager; Ambudkar won against Mark Duplass and Emily Hampshire; and Walter was the champ amongst Brian Baumgartner and Timothy Simons. All three of these celeb contestants are good, and it's going to be so exciting and interesting to see who moves on to the finals. I'll be honest, I'm definitely cheering Ambudkar on! Ghosts is one of my favorite shows on right now so I can't help it. Who are you hoping to see move on to the finals?
