                        Preliminaries: Bowen/Kaczmarek/QuiversNovember 19
 Last time on the Million Dollar Celebrity 
Invitational, Michael McKean completely went all over his two opponents, Soledad 
O'Brien and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. As a result, he wins $50,000 for the 
International Myeloma Foundation and joins Andy Richter in the semifinal in May. Today, and every third Thursday of every month, 
another winner will be crowed and will move one step closer to winning the top 
prize of $1 million for the charity of his or her choice.  The player who wins this game (and the 
        six to follow) will donate at least $50,000 to their charity. The 
        runners-up will take away $25,000. Any and all monies will be determined 
        by how far up the ladder a player goes.  This month's stars are...

    | WHAT'S OPERA, DOC?
 | JULIE & JULIA
 | LET'S MAKE A WISH
 | UN-OUTSOURCEABLE | SERIOUS RADIO
 | THE "GREEN" ROOM
 |  Daily Double #1: $1600 Un-Outsourceable. 
Julie has $10,200 to Jane's $6000 and Robin's $4200. Julie bets half, or $5100, 
on this: this type of healer who adjusts & aligns you based on a system 
developed in 1895. "What is a chiropractor?" Correct for $15,300! Daily Double #2: $1200 What's Opera, 
Doc? Jane's not happy, because she has to wager any or all of her $9200 against 
Robin's $4200 and Julie's $16,100. She bets $5000 on this: Marcello fetches a 
doctor, but Mimi still dies, leaving Rodolfo heartbroken at the end of this 
opera. "What is 'La Boheme'?" Correct for $14,200!  At the end of Double Jeopardy!... 
  
    | $15,300 | $23,400 | $4,200 |  
    | Julie | Jane | Robin |  Finally, an interesting 
        celebrity scenario. J-Archive.com calls this a crush. - Robin wins if... Julie and Jane 
bet against each other and lose, while Robin bets nothing.- Julie wins if... she bets $8101 and is right (forcing Jane to wager to win) or 
if she bets $6899 and is wrong on a triple stumper.
 - Jane wins if... she bets $7201 and is right.

    "CORN" |  |  Correct response: who is Frank 
Capra?

                             SEMI-FINALIST: 
                            Jane Kaczmarek This match was the closest 
        of the three so far. It could've gone either way, but Jane knew what she 
        had to do, and thanks to a late-round rally, she'll have a chance to do 
        it again in May. Three new stars next month, December 
17. To read all about the tournament,
