Since KoopaKid is hosting what I assume to be a daytime edition of Card Sharks, I'll try my hand at a nighttime edition. I will need two players for this.

Excellent. We'll start the show right now, and all deadlines are 48 hours. Here we go.
(cue 1978 Card Sharks theme)
Rich: Drawing an eight
Is just plain bad
But draw an Ace
And it's just grand
On....................................Card Sharks! Here's the host of Card Sharks, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you! Thank you, Rich Fields. And thank you, audience. (Theme fades out) Welcome everyone to the nighttime edition of Card Sharks. We've got some new things on the show that we think you'll enjoy, and one of those new things happens to be our new electronic card dealing board. Open the curtain please! (Curtain opens to reveal a brand new state of the art electronic card dealing board) Isn't that a beauty. Betcha a dollar it don't work. (audience laughs) Anyway, with this new electronic board, all I have to do is touch the contestant's card on the screen and the card shows up. Therefore, we no longer have the need for models here on the show. We do, however, need contestants to play the game, so let's get our two players out here right now. (Matt and Kevin run to their podiums) We have Matt Riggenberg and Kevin Kolsen with us tonight. Matt, please tell the fine folks at home what you do.

Well we're glad to have you with us, Kevin. Now that we know a bit about the two of you, let's get started with our match. (I head to my podium) You gentlemen know the drill. First to win two games goes on to play the Money Cards for a chance to win a lot more money as well as some additional prizes. Matt, you won the coin toss backstage prior to the show, and that means you will be in charge of the red cards. Kevin will be at the helm for the blue cards. First question goes to you, Matt. We surveyed 100 teenagers and we asked them what they like most about the summer. Matt, how many of them said that they like going to the beach the most?

Going there tomorrow but in this case, I think it's going to be a little lower.

Kevin says it's lower. (ding) The actual number of teenagers who said that their favorite part of summer is going to the beach is...........................83 of them. (ding ding ding) Not lower, it's higher. Matt, you get the first crack at the cards, and you're starting with.................a five (5D). Play it or change it?

Play it. Higher

Higher than a five...............................a seven (7C). Play on or freeze, Matt?

And Matt is freezing on the seven. (A freeze bar appears over Matt's seven. Theme starts up) And we're going to take a time out for some commercials. We'll be back, though. (Fade to commercial)

(Back to the studio)
And we're back on Card Sharks. Matt has a one card lead over Kevin at the moment, and this next question goes to Mr. Kolsen. Kevin, we found 100 bartenders and we asked them if they've ever had a drink thrown right back at them by a customer. Kevin, how many of them said that they've had that happen?
|

Post by koopakid17 on Jul 19, 2014 22:30:14 GMT -5
Now, if the customer was drunk, that wouldn't surprise me. I think bartenders would have their fair share, so I'm going to say 37 of them.

Matt says it's a bit lower. (ding) Now, before we go on, I will inform both of you of a little something that I neglected to mention on the previous question. If either of you get a survey answer exactly right, you will receive a $1,000 bonus. (audience applauds) The actual number of bartenders who said that they've had a drink thrown back at them is............................54 of them. (ding ding ding) Not lower, it's slightly higher. Kevin, you get a shot at the cards now. And you start with.......................an Ace (AS)! That's a great card! Play it or change it, Kevin?

Kevin's freezing on the eight. (A freeze bar appears over Kevin's eight) And we have another question coming up right now for Matt. Matt, we surveyed 100 single mothers of five year old children and we asked them "Do your children ever cause problems for you at home?". Matt, how many of them said that their children cause problems for them at home?

Kevin says it's gotta be higher. (ding) Well we'll just find out whether Kevin or Matt is right. (I start to look at my card) We did only survey 100 of these mothers, you know. The actual number of single mothers of five year old children who said that their children cause problems for them at home is.......................65 of them. (ding ding ding) It is in fact higher and Kevin has control. Now Kevin, you have an eight as your base card for the moment. Play off the eight or change?
