Soledad O'Brien Competes on Jeopardy Today

Tune in for the second round of the new Jeopardy! celebrity tournament, which airs today, October 15th.

Contestants for this round are:
  • NBA Superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, playing for The Skyhook Foundation
  • Actor and Grammy-winning musician Michael McKean, playing for the International Myeloma Foundation
  • CNN correspondent Soledad O'Brien, playing for the Soledad O'Brien and Brad Raymond Family Foundation
The Jeopardy! Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational tournament is a season-long event, with three celebrities taking the podiums on the third Thursday of each month for the first nine rounds. Then we'll move on to the semi-finals, and in the final round, one celebrity is guaranteed to win a million dollars for his or her charity.

Last month, Andy Richter beat CNN's Wolf Blitzer, so this is Soledad's chance to bring the glory home to CNN.
