How to JSON.parse an Array of arrays

I am being passed a JSON.stringified Array of arrays in a var called request.
alert(request);
gives this message:
"[[\"0\",\"MahaShivRatri\"],[\"0\",\"A Night with the Divine\"],[\"0\",\"Attend In-Person\"],[\"0\",\"11 March 2021\"],[\"0\",\"6 PM to 6 AM IST\"],[\"0\",\"Attend Mahashivratri celebrations with Sadhguru in the presence of Adiyogi at the Isha Yoga Center\"],............
now, I try this:
var arr = JSON.parse(request);
alert(arr);
It gives the below message which looks like an Array of arrays:
[["0","MahaShivRatri"],["0","A Night with the Divine"],["0","Attend In-Person"],["0","11 March 2021"],["0","6 PM to 6 AM IST"],["0","Attend Mahashivratri celebrations with Sadhguru in the presence of Adiyogi at the Isha Yoga Center"],.........
but when I try to alert a particular element of this Array:
alert(arr[0][1]);
It gives undefined in the alert box.
How to get an Array of arrays from a JSON.stringified Array of arrays?
(Essentially I want to manipulate the DOM while I loop through arr.)
Thank you.

1. The original full stringified request is this :
console.log(request);
logs this

3. finally
console.log(arr[0]);
logs just this:
[

Assuming the ............ at the end of the string in result is not really part of the string (and is just there to indicate there's more data you haven't posted) then the code you've posted already works correctly (as demonstrated below):
const request = "[[\"0\",\"MahaShivRatri\"],[\"0\",\"A Night with the Divine\"],[\"0\",\"Attend In-Person\"],[\"0\",\"11 March 2021\"],[\"0\",\"6 PM to 6 AM IST\"],[\"0\",\"Attend Mahashivratri celebrations with Sadhguru in the presence of Adiyogi at the Isha Yoga Center\"]]";
const arr = JSON.parse(request);
console.log(arr[0][1]);

<blockquote>Sports: Toyko Olympics Update</blockquote>
<p>Next year’s Tokyo Olympics will now officially open on 23 July 2021 – 364 days later than planned – in order to give organisers the time needed to prepare after the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The decision was confirmed by the International Olympic Committee following a conference call between its president, Thomas Bach, and the international sports federations on Monday. Bach gave them one choice of a new date – 23 July to 8 August – before asking the federations for a show of support, which was unanimous.</p>

<p>The new dates, exactly one year after those originally planned for 2020, also have the added benefit that any disruption that the postponement will cause to the international sports calendar can be kept to a minimum.

<blockquote>Media: COVID-19 Hollywood: Idris Elba, The Witcher and GOT actor add to growing list of celebrities with coronavirus</blockquote>
<p>The novel coronavirus continues to spread across the globe, and even the world’s biggest names aren’t safe.
While many celebrities and public figures have taken to social media to stress the importance of social distancing, some have also announced their own battle with COVID-19.
Here are all the big names currently battling the illness.</p>
<p><b>Joe Prine</b></p>
<p>The family of John Prine says the singer-songwriter is critically ill and has been placed on a ventilator while being treated for COVID-19-type symptoms.</p>
<p><b>Boris Johnson</b></p>
<p>British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for the new coronavirus, the first leader of a major nation to contract COVID-19, but he insisted Friday that he remains in charge of the U.K.’s response to the outbreak.</p>
<p><b>Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson</b></p>
<p>Hanks and Wilson were the first big celebrities to contract the virus. He shared an official statement on his social media on March 11, writing: “Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches … To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive.”</p>
<p><b>Daniel Dae Kim</b></p>
<p>The Hawaii Five-0 actor shared a 10-minute video on Instagram on March 19, opening up about his journey to the diagnosis and telling his fans to self-isolate.
“I wanted to let you know that yesterday I tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus,” the actor said on Instagram.
Kim, who is in Hawaii and was tested for the disease there, said he was shooting the series New Amsterdam in New York before production shut down and he returned to Hawaii to be with his family.</p>

console.log(text);

You could use a capturing group and for the match of the speaker use a character class and specify what characters you would allow for the name and repeat that with a space in between.
Then match the line with only hyphens followed by using a second capturing group matching the following content until you encounter the next line that starts with a hyphen. (Or multiple if you want to make it more specific.
^[ \t]*(\w+(?:[ \t]+[\w,-]+)*)[\t ]+\[\d+\]\r?\n-+\s+((?:(?:\r?\n)?(?!-).*)*)
Explanation
^ Start of string
[ \t]* Match 0+ tabs/spaces
( Capture group 1
\w+(?:[ \t]+[\w,-]+)* Match 1+ word char and repeat 0+ times matching 1+ tabs/spaces and a character class where you could specify what you would allow to match.
) Close group 1
[\t ]+\[\d+\] Match 1+ tabs/spaces, the 1+ digits between [..]

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to our first quarter 2019 business review. With me today are Mike Roman, 3M's Chief Executive Officer; and Nick Gangestad, our Chief Financial Officer. Mike and Nick will make some formal comments, and then we'll take your questions.
Please note that today's earnings release and slide presentation accompanying this call are posted on our Investor Relations website at 3m.com under the heading, Quarterly Earnings. Please turn to Slide 2.
Before we begin, let me remind you to mark your calendars for our upcoming earnings calls on July 25 and October 24. Please take a moment to read the forward-looking statement on Slide 3.
During today's conference call, we will make certain predictive statements that reflect our current views about 3M's future performance and financial results. These statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K lists some of the most important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions.
Finally, please note that throughout today's presentation, we will be making references to certain non-GAAP financial measures, in particular, measures which exclude the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and significant litigation-related charges. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures can be found in the appendix of today's presentation and press release.
Please turn to Slide 4, and I'll hand it off to Mike. Mike?

A regex like /-{5,}(.*?)-{5,}(.*?)(?:-{5}|$)/gs will capture both the speaker and the spoken text (it will only break if the spoken text / speaker name contain more then 4 dashes after each other -----)
regex101 demo
Explanation:
-{5,} will match the first row of ----s, before the speaker name
(.*?) captures the speaker name
-{5,} matches the second row of ----s, the separator between speaker <-> spoken text
(.*?) captures the spoken text
(?:-{5}|$) matches either the end of the file or five dashes -----. (this leaves enough dashes for the first part of this regex to match again for the next speaker)
Example:
function sanitizeName(name) {
// trim it and remove the " [12]" after the name
return name.replace(/\s*\[\d+\]\s*$/, '').trim();
}
function parseConversation(text) {
let regex = /-{5,}(.*?)-{5,}(.*?)(?:-{5}|$)/gs;

i have data in the below format, is not a valid json and am trying to convert using regex, for details see this question which i've tried, but the parse won't go through.
The problem is that the response string also contains html, var and trailing commas. below is the failing test data.
The expected output should be a valid JSON to use in the rest of my application

That server is in no way a JSON API, it's just churning out some JavaScript. Even a tiny change to the response format (such as using semi-colons to end statements) could break an attempt to parse it. I don't know your use case but this all seems like a bad idea to me.
All that said, trying to parse it using JSON.parse sounds a lot less dangerous than most of the alternatives. These replaces got it to parse for me:
var text = document.getElementById('response').innerText;
// 1. Convert vars to properties
text = text.replace(/^\s*var\s+(\w+)\s*=/gm, ',"$1":');
// 2. Quote the keys
text = text.replace(/^\s*(\w+)\s*:/gm, '"$1":');
// 3. Get rid of the '' at the end
text = text.replace(/^\s*\},[\n\s]*''.*$/gm, '}');
// 4. Remove the comma that step 1 added at the start
text = text.replace(/^\s*,/g, '');
// 5. Wrap everything in an object
