Law & Order cast members on Celebrity Jeopardy
Three cast members of the various Law & Order shows appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy on Friday night. It was pretty funny. Sam Waterston (original), Kathryn Erbe (CI), and Chris Meloni (SVU) competed for their favorite charities while giving their fans something to cheer for and laugh about (as is the case with most episodes of Celebrity Jeopardy).
The episode was notable mainly for the idiosycrasies of the cast members: Sam W. seemed fairly bewildered most of the time, Chris M. kept answering before being called on, and Kathryn was having more fun horsing around with Meloni than playing the game.
Highlights included their failure to know what controversial novel by Dan Brown begins with a murder in the Louvre, their trying to figure out what sitcom has a character named Kramer on it, Erbe getting cut off by the applause sign while going on and on about her charities, and a special Daily Double performance by a star of the Broadway show Mamma Mia. Also, the first round ended with the famous L&O "Chung Chung" sound instead of the usual beep-beep-beep-beep. Most of these moments and many more can be found in the video clips below.
Watch as the three are stumped by the Dan Brown/Louvre question:
In this clip, Sam is stumped as to which New York neighborhood hosts a film festival every year:
