I love Fortune Feimster.

The others I don't recognize by name, but, looking up Dorsey, I've seen him in several things.  (Kimes, I got nothin'.)

Fortune's name seemed familiar, so I looked her up, and I vaguely recognize her from something.  Maybe Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar.

I don't recognize the names of the other two at all.

Fortune has at least three specials on Netflix; I know I've seen one but I can't remember if I've seen the other two. Anything I've seen that Omar was in was 20+ years ago (Drumline, ER); he does not look familiar. Wikipedia says Mina is a business and sports journalist so I'm not gonna know her.

Mina is an ESPN NFL person.  She hosts NFL Live and is often on Around the Horn.  She's fab!

Oh, yeah, I looked her up when I looked up the other contestant whose name didn't ring any bells, so I know what she does, but, unlike with him, I've never watched anything she's on (I quit watching sports media quite some time ago).

I just got an e-mail notification that Fortune Feimster will be performing in my area soon.

Her tour page has dates up to August; nothing near me. :(

I've switched to TAR, but I'll finish this tomorrow.  I love Fortune's charity -- good for her, giving back to her home state.  Western NC really was devastated by Helene.

The Peanuts characters category made me think of this:

Had to look for a picture of Mina's dog Lenny..

I love him.

Three great charities, so even though I was rooting for Fortune coming in based on being such a fan of her stand-up, I'd have been happy for any of them to win.  Mina was my second choice; while I, upon looking him up, recognized Omar as the sheriff in the recent Halloween trilogy and from several earlier roles, but didn't know her as I'd drifted away from sports media long ago, I cheered for Mina as a woman working in sports media (and "a man who never talks" was hilarious).  She played a great game.

I cannot believe, even in a celebrity game, the Grand Canyon clue was a TS.  Same with Champs-Élysées.  None of them knowing FJ was another one.

The name meant nothing to me, but I recognized her from Life in Pieces, a show I miss very much.

I've managed to not see Omar Dorsey in anything despite having watched most of two series on which he had guest roles.

I had no clue.  The only line I know from that speech is "I have a dream".  So I fully get that they didn't know it either.

All I could think of was "free at last" but that's not an imperative.

Maybe that's where I know her from.  I miss that show, too.

It took me nearly the whole think time, but I finally did come up with FJ.  That was a hard one for Celebrity Jeopardy!

I've NEVER watched sports media, but I know Mina Kimes from the [Top Chef] Pack Your Knives podcast--she's a guest once a season, talking bout statistics and other nerdy analytical things :)
