Which 19th-20th century artist, son of the founder of a New York jewelry chain, applied the Art Nouveau style to stained glass windows, lamps, and other decorations?
(Buzzcode: 56; Darion rings in)
Darion: Tiffany
Me: Louis Tiffany, yes. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $24; Darion: $25; I hand Darion a Sale Chip) Darion, the Sale Chip I just gave you is for getting the exact buzzcode as well as giving a correct answer for that question. The area of a parallelogram is 144 square inches and its height is 16 inches. What is its base?
(Buzzcode: 86; Darion rings in)
Darion: 9 inches
Me: Yes sir. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $24; Darion: $30) What organization has won the Nobel Peace prize at least 16 times?
(Buzzcode: 84; Billy rings in)
Billy: The Associated Press
Me: Another $5 for you, Mr. Gardell. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $29; Darion: $30) In what year was the sport of rugby invented?
(Buzzcode: 72; Darion rings in)
Darion: 1905
Me: No, 1823. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $29; Darion: $25) A $10 gap between first and third, but that can all change if someone is able to select the $15 card from the board. In order to be able to have a go at that card, however, you have to win the following What Am I? question. Listen carefully as I read these clues out.
I am a landmark in India that was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1632. I am regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and is widely recognized as the jewel of Muslim art in India. In 2007, I was declared one of the winners of New 7 Wonders of the World initiative in Lisbon.
(PM your answer and buzzocde to me no later than 6:10pm Eastern time Wednesday, January 13th. If you don't know the answer, PM the word "pass" to me. If everyone says pass, then I will add more clues)

Billy: The Taj Mahal
Me: You are right, and it's off to the board.
1 2 3

The $15 card is hiding among the remaining numbers, along with the ten from earlier. Finding any of those will put you in the lead, so select a number if you please.

He says number 4, so let's see what's behind the 4. (Number 4 turns around and reveals $15) And it's the $15 money card! Excellent work there, Billy. That brings you to $44, Kourtney has $35 and Darion sits at $25. We'll be back with our third round straight after these words. (Fade to commercial)

All right, we have returned for Round 3. Now players, you'll want to earn as much money as you can in this round because the player with the lowest score at the end of the round will be knocked out of the match. That said, here are the first set of questions for this round.
1) Which 1989 film starred Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Shirley MacLaine?
2) What festival was first held in Melbourne in 1967?
3) Almost every night from the 1960's until the early 1990's, after a drumroll, which person would announce: "And now, Heeeeere's Johnny"?
4) What was the name of the nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania which had a frightening radiation leak in 1979?

2) Absolute zero registers at how many degrees Celsius?

(Kourtney did not send his PM to me, so I'm going under the assumption that he's passing on all four of these questions)
What tragic event of April 14, 1912 inspires people to read, write, even make movies about it?
(Buzzcode: 95; Billy rings in)
Billy: The Titanic
Me: Absolutely correct. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $60; Darion: $25) Absolute zero registers at how many degrees Celsius?
(Bizzcode: 69; Darion rings in)
Darion: -359
Me: No, -273. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $60; Darion: $20) What is the full and complete name of the major league baseball team located in the same city as Disneyland?
(Buzzcode: 5; Darion rings in)
Darion: The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Me: A team that I actually saw play in their stadium one time. $5 for that, Darion. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $60; Darion: $25) What 1844 Alexandre Dumas novel describes the adventures of a band of merry men?
(Buzzcode: 61; Billy rings in)
Billy: The Three Muskateers!
Me: Yes sir. (Kourtney: $35; Billy: $65; Darion: $25) All right Billy, you're the lucky one who gets to have a go at tonight's $13,000 Cashcard. In order to do that, I would have to ask you to take $15 off of your total. However, there are other machines besides the Cashcard. One of them has a chance for you to play for the Audis if you win the game regardless of score. One machine also has a random amount of cash between $1 and $50 which will be tacked on to your score if you hit that. Lastly, the other machine will simply return your $15 investment. So with that said, care to take a chance on our machines Billy?

Post by Billy Gardell on Jan 17, 2016 18:00:15 GMT -5
Let's say Clubs!

Post by GameShowNetwork on Jan 17, 2016 18:10:39 GMT -5
What will Clubs hold for Billy? Let's find out.
(The Clubs machine spins and reveals.......................)
RANDOM
All right, it looks like you're getting a random amount of money. it could be as high as $50 or as low as $1. Let's see what you get. (RANDOM sign disappears from the machine. In its place appears.............)
$35
And it's $35! Very well done, Billy. You went down from $65 to $50 to play the machine, but the amount you just earned from the Clubs machine takes you to $85 and it takes us to our last Fame Game. It's another Who Am I?, and here are your clues.
Born in 1935, I was an American singer and actor and often referred to as the King of Rock and Roll. My music career began in 1954 and my first RCA single was released two years later and became a number one hit in the United States. I made my film debut in the film Love Me Tender and in 1958, I was drafted into military service. I was one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century.

He wants number one, and behind the one is.................
$25
There's the card you needed! That bumps you up to $60 at the end of this round, Billy has $85 and Darion has $25. Darion, you played a good game, but we must say good bye to you as you finished this round with the lowest score. We thank you for participating and we hope to see you again soon. Kourtney still has a chance to retain his title but he'll need to play some serious catch up. The Mad Minute is coming straight up so stay right where you are. (Fade to commercial)

Then let's go shopping. (Billy and I head to the board as the Let's Go Shopping cue is played) You didn't earn any Sale Chips during the game; but, you finished with $105 and that qualifies you to play for the two Audis. Let's listen carefully as we find out all about them.
(dad90, this is your cue to give Billy the prize description for the Audis)
