ME: Correct! (Applause) James way out in front with 610, Kourtney with 200, and Kevin with 90. Challengers, I can assure you that you'll get a chance to play... EDGAR: Maybe a little levity will break the tension here. We had a question about Memphis a little while ago, so try this one. You're standing on the banks of the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee and you see a duck swimming down the river. Where did it come from? ME: I don't know...the sky? EDGAR: Good one...but my answer is an egg! (Audience laughs) Another good one! Maybe Jonathan will forget about that wicked plan. ME: Maybe I won't. EDGAR: Not even if I offer this prize? (Prize cue plays)  EDGAR: The Krups XP618050 Twin Thermo Block Espresso Machine comes in stainless steel with polished chrome. It features a 100 ounce water tank, 2 outlets for frothing and dispensing, programmable features, and is compatible with ground coffee and all types of pods. It's yours for the right answer to this question. ME: Thanks, Edgar! Hands on buzzers, please. Edgar will play the 1955 version of a country classic. When he stops, I want you to give the weight mentioned in the title IN POUNDS. Edgar, play it...
(Edgar plays this song)
"...what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go; I owe my soul to the company store." |

Very good! (Applause) The song was "Sixteen Tons," by Tennessee Ernie Ford. 16 tons, times 2,000 pounds per ton, equals 32,000 pounds. Nicely solved, and you've won the espresso maker worth $600. You have 110 points, now choose your Bonus category.

MUSICAL GENRES. Let's see how much we can add to Kevin's till, Blake. (She touches the screen...BONG!)  60 points. Should be easy this time around. Kourtney, be ready to steal. The first song to reference this genre of hard rock was 1969's "Born To Be Wild." In the 1970s, as groups like Led Zeppelin made the genre popular, the term started gaining acceptance. Name this musical genre. |

That is correct! (Applause) 170 is your total. Kourtney is second with 200. James leading with 610. Still time to catch up as we go to this toss-up.
This soulful British singer became the latest person to sing a James Bond movie theme. Name the singer.

He's the one! (Applause) Kevin, Adele is a soulful British singer, but she did the previous theme..."Skyfall." The most recent theme was "The Writing's on the Wall" from "Spectre," which was just released. Kourtney, you're at 220. A big pick at the board could put you back in the hunt. Choose your Bonus category.

Going back to HEY, BARTENDER. Let's see how much it's worth to you (Blake touches the screen...BONG!).  Not bad, with 100 points! Kevin, be ready to steal if Kourtney is wrong. Kourtney... According to the opener of the song "Honky-Tonk Woman," The Rolling Stones "met a...barroom queen in Memphis" who was "soaked" with what barroom beverage? |

Correct! (Applause) "I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis." James is at 710, Kourtney is at 220, and Kevin at 170. One question to go, and it looks like, even with a Bonus question, James cannot be caught. We will play this out, though, to see if James can rack up more money, or if the challengers can stop that....
(Blake gestures at Edgar) Yes, Blake?
BLAKE: I think Edgar might have a virus. When I touched the screen for the last question, the point value appeared in the wrong screen.
ME (I look over): By golly, it did! However, the question I had was worth 100 point for HEY, BARTENDER. Therefore, it did not affect the gameplay. Edgar, you OK, buddy?
EDGAR: Just fine. I'm adjusting to the computer technology, that's all.
ME: You don't have a virus, do you?
EDGAR: Nope! (He makes coughing noises...audience laughs)
ME: Not that kind of virus! Ah, well. Final toss-up, everyone! Hands on buzzers.
After having success on the rock and pop charts, Darius Rucker went country and has been having tremendous success there. His 2010 country album was called "Charleston, SC - 1966," but what's the significance of that city and year?

Exactly right! (Applause) Darius Rucker was born in Charleston in 1966. Kevin, your guess wasn't bad, but I think Malcolm X was shot in New York in 1965. In any event, James has a chance to add to his 730 points, which will eventually become dollars. Pick a Bonus category, please.
