Who is Nodoka Manabe? (Johnsonverse)

"Who is Nodoka Manabe?" is an episode of The Rock-afire Explosion Show from season four. In this episode, Nodoka, while competing on Celebrity Jeopardy!, must deal with the antics of Shawn Cottery and Texas Tom.
==Plot==
Yui, Mio, Mugi, Ritsu, and Azusa enter the Johnson Studios lot to watch Nodoka compete on Celebrity Jeopardy! Ritsu brings up the time Yui completely blew her Wheel of Fortune appearance by failing to solve a single puzzle (including blurting out already-revealed letters and saying letters that clearly don't belong on the puzzles) and spinning the wheel the wrong way multiple times, to which Yui retorts that at least it wasn't as bad as Mugi's appearance, where she (unintentionally) physically broke the wheel with her strength to the point where half the set was destroyed and the episode was never aired. Meanwhile, Nodoka sits in a green room with Looney Bird, where the two play mock games with each other, before a staff member comes in to tell Nodoka to go on stage. She walks up to her podium, meeting Texas Tom and Shawn Cottery, whose antics annoy her immediately, before the cameras begin rolling. Announcer Johnny Gilbert introduces the contestants and their charities, and host Alex Trebek enters the stage. The categories for the round are "Potent Potables", "Japanese Isles", "Literature", "Actors", "Spell This", and "Famous Pianists". Being in control of the board, Nodoka selects "Literature" for $400. The clue gets wildly incorrect responses from Tom and Shawn, leaving Nodoka to ring in with the correct response. Other categories are played in a similar manner; the Double Jeopardy! categories are "Blue Characters Named Blue", "Shapes That Are Triangles", "Spies Named Bond", "Smokey and the _", "Washingtons on Currency", and "Basic Addition"; the round is played very similarly, leaving Trebek exasperated.
In Final Jeopardy!, the category is "Colors", and Trebek, clearly annoyed at Tom and Shawn's antics, shows the color red on the screen. Tom admits he didn't write anything and Shawn appears to have written the correct response, with his wager revealing it to be "Alex Trebek Stinks!!!". Nodoka wrote "What is red?" and wagered everything, knowing that neither Tom nor Shawn are taking any of the game seriously. She wins the game and is congratulated by Trebek, who remarks that he's been doing the show for 35 years and this was the closest he came to slamming his head against his lectern. A few months later, both Ho-kago Tea Time and the Rock-afire Explosion watch the episode on TV, noting how dumbed-down Celebrity Jeopardy! is compared to the civilian version.
