A fashion designer and TV personality from the QVC Network...

Isaac Mizrahi

How did you prepare for the show?
Well, I sort of prepared with my whole life. My entire history has been preparing for this moment, frankly. I've been watching Jeopardy! in my bathtub. So--there's a way that you can position the mirror in my apartment where you can watch it backwards, and sometimes I watch it without the sound, so I can read the clue backwards and get the answer in form of a question. It's really complicated, but it works, and I'm really--so it makes the actual playing of the game really easy. When you're used to playing without sound, backwards in the bathtub, [snaps fingers] it makes the actual playing of the game like a piece of cake.

Do you have any fashion tips for Alex?
Well, I kinda like the new no-mustache thing. Even though he shaved it a long time ago--I don't know why I think it's new. But, he looks great. I don't know what he's doing, but he looks really great. Maybe a little--[points to cheekbones]--you think--what, do you think Alex had a little--did he have some work? [Giggles]

What categories are you hoping to see?
My dream category would be, like, TRIVIA ABOUT THE CLUE CREW. TRIVIA ABOUT JIMMY ON THE CLUE CREW.

What do you think of your competition?
Well, I think I'm going to win. I think I'm gonna take Jane Curtin and CC. I do. I think I'm gonna take them both. I like them, but... I will cut them. [Laughs]
