Yes, you may. ----------------- (drumroll) (shot of Steven) Charlie Tuna: (VO) This is our returning champion Steven Anderson from Plymouth, Massachusetts. Stand by to see Steven play for gold cufflinks, valued at $15,915![MAIN THEME] Today, on America's biggest bargain sale, we're offering a pair of Acura RLXs valued at $115,740 for $530!
All the prizes, plus a cash jackpot of $855,000 for $750!
Two of the incredible bargains on....(echo effect)  And now, here's the star of our show, Greg Palmer!(the doors open and I run to my lectern)Greg: Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Tuna, and welcome to $ale of the Century. It's the day after Christmas, I hope you enjoyed your holiday. I know I did, but now it's time to go back to work. And here is a fine champion. Let's welcome back Steven Anderson! (audience cheers) Hiya, Steven. Welcome back. Did you enjoy your Christmas? |

Wonderful. I know I enjoyed my Christmas. Anyway, you have $199 in your bank, so a win today with $61 is all you'd need for those $15,000-plus cufflinks. Are you ready to play?

Good. And I've got some news. Stacey is still in Australia, so as a last minute substitute, we have from TNT's Dallas, Julie Gonzalo!  (Julie walks out to cheers and applause) Well hi there, Julie. What are you doing New Year's Eve? Julie: Oh, the usual. Going to party in New York with my friends. You?
Greg: Maybe go bowling. Thanks so much for coming on such short notice. Julie: No problem. It's not like I had anything better to do.Greg: Really? Then, you won't mind telling us who you brought today. (as Julie introduces them, the doors open and models escort our contestants to their seats)Julie: First, he's an accountant who enjoys video games and writing in his spare time. From Long Island, New York, here's Kevin Kolsen! And he's a data entry coordinator who enjoys a good mental workout and the Philly-area pro and college sports teams. From Riverside, New Jersey, give a warm welcome to Marc Enyedy. (audience cheers) Greg: All right then. Let's get to know our players. First off, Marc, you enjoy a good mental workout. How do you get it? |

I do crosswords, play trivia games, and watch game shows. I also like to go out for walks and keep the rest of my body fit too.

I'm getting through the Rhythm Heaven games right now. Those are highly addictive but they're a lot of fun.

Interesting. I'm currently playing Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Have you played that one?

Haven't really played that one yet but I do like the Phoenix Ace series. It really does encourage you to think.

Yes it does, although most of the time, I end up using the walkthrough because I'm afraid to fail.

That signals the Fame Game. $10 going up on the board. Looking for a famous person. I am a stand-up comedian and actor, born August 20, 1969 in Swissvale, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. At the age of 15, I started working at a department store warehouse in the receiving area where I would unload trucks and stack pallets. In 1987, I started cleaning bathrooms, seating people, and answering phones at a local comedy club. After performing on an open-mic night as part of a bet, I discovered I had a knack for comedy. I eventually started opening for Dennis Miller and George Carlin. My style was influenced by Jackie Gleason, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, John Candy, and John Belushi. I have been featured in several feature films, including Bad Santa and Avenging Angelo.(buzzcode and answer, please) |
