You didn't have to sing it, it was "Tequila"! (Applause) Great round, guys! (BONG-BONG-BONG-BONG-BONG!) As we go into the Halftime Question, Kevin has 90, Kourtney leads with 150, and James is right behind at 140. For the Halftime Question, please get out your writing boards and dry-erase markers and write down the answer (in reality, just PM it to me) to this True-or-False question. If you're right, you'll get 50 points, but if you're wrong, you won't gain or lose any points, so take a stab at it. Here is the question...
One of the most noted country songwriters of the 1980s wrote hits for Dolly Parton, Kathy Mattea, and Riders in the Sky, among others. However, her greatest success in songwriting has been in the pop category when she wrote songs with and for her daughter. The mother is Patricia Sebert, and her daughter is Kesha. Is that TRUE or FALSE?
Write down your answers...now (Thinking cue plays as the camera zooms in from a wide shot to a close-up of the podiums).

All right, time is up. Let's see your answers (I approach the podiums), as we start with Kevin. Is a pop "wild child" the daughter of a country music composer? We'll find out together. Kevin, let's see your board. You wrote...
FALSE
According to my card, Kesha's real name is Kesha Rose Sebert. Patricia Sebert IS her mother, so the statement is TRUE (Audience awwwws). Can't give any points, but we won't take away any, either. James, we now know the answer is true. What did you say?
TRUE
He knew it! 50 points more takes you up to 190 and the lead for now. Kourtney, you seemed a little unsure as you were writing, but what did you say?
TRUE
Yeah! What were you worried about? You're back in the lead. Here are the scores.
KEVIN: 90 points
KOURTNEY: 200 points
JAMES: 190 points
(Banjo theme vamp plays) As you can see, we've got a close game going here. When we return, we'll play Round Two, where the points get higher and the scores can add up really quickly. Stay with us!

Judge? (I wait for a response)
Single vs. plural is OK? Very well! James, my answer was Stone Poney or Stone Pony, but we'll accept the plural in this case. (Applause)

Let's go with TV Themes

Post by jmdarrall on Oct 28, 2015 15:45:31 GMT -5
TV THEMES - a popular choice around here. Let's see how much that is worth, Blake (she touches the screen...BONG!)  120 points. In this round, that is about average difficulty. Kevin, if James misses, you will get first crack. Further, if he misses and you recover, you will tie James for the lead. James, multiple choice question... Known for his work on detective dramas, Mike Post is one of the most prolific composers of TV themes ever. For which one of these TV mysteries did Post NOT compose the theme? Was it..."The Rockford Files," "Magnum P.I.," "Hill Street Blues," or "Remington Steele"? |

Correct! (Applause) Henry Mancini actually did that theme, and you're already at 330 points. Kevin and Kourtney, this guy is dangerous in Round Two. Be ready for him. Next toss-up...
The song "Walking in Memphis" was a pop hit for Marc Cohn and a country hit for Lonestar. The song pays tribute to that city's musical heritage by naming several musicians explicitly. One is Elvis Presley, of course. Name another musician mentioned by name in the song.

I forgot to mention that your score is now 350. Let's see how much THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED is worth, please. (Blake touches the screen...BONG!)  (Audience oohs) 200 points, the big one! This could pull you way into the lead with a right answer. Kevin, if James misses, it will be yours, and you can close the gap considerably with a right answer. Listen carefully... You're going to earn every one of these 200 points if you are right. Tell me the month, the day, and the year of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens. |

Right on the money! (Applause) James is at 550, Kourtney at 200, Kevin at 90. Still plenty of time, guys, don't get discouraged. Next toss-up.
At the 1985 Live Aid concerts, which British-born singer was the only person who appeared at both the London and Philadelphia shows?

RHYME TIME it is. Blake, the point value, please? (She touches the screen...BONG!)  40 points. Lowest value, but it should be the easiest question. Kevin, be ready if James doesn't know it. James... According to the 1960 early rock hit by Brian Hyland, what TWO rhyming phrases describe the shy girl's "yellow polka-dot bikini"? |
