Louis C.K. Won $50,000 for a Charity on Jeopardy!

Jeopardy!'s "Power Players Week" offered viewers more gems Wednesday, as Louis C.K. trounced his opponents and won $50,000 for charity. The comedian competed against CNN's Kate Bolduan and the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, both of whom were exuding a little more confidence at the top of the pre-taped match.

So this group makes sure they get the operation, and gets them back on their feet."
