Sticking with LATE NIGHT TALK for 10...
Speaking of "The Tonight Show" and U.S. Presidents, who was U.S. President when Johnny Carson hosted his first full-time episode of "The Tonight Show"?

(BONG! [33] Kourtney's light shines)
ME: Kourtney?
KOURTNEY: JFK...Kennedy.
ME: Correct! (Steve plays a fanfare as Kourtney celebrates finally getting one) Welcome to the game, sir! You have 10 points, Jay has 5, and Kevin has 15. Close game. You're in control. Want to stick or switch?

OK. For 15 points...
When Pat Sajak had his late-night talk show, he hired a former colleague as his second banana. When Sajak was a weatherman in Nashville, this man was a news anchor at the same station. He must have taken hosting lessons from Sajak, because he went on to host the Nashville Network shows "Top Card" and "Ten Seconds." Name him.

(BONG! [51] Jay's light shines almost as soon as I finish the question) ME: Jay? JAY: Dan Miller. ME: Right on a tough question! (Steve plays a fanfare as the crowd applauds) Just like that, you've taken the lead and control. Let's pick another... (Triangle clanging sound effects as the SNACK BREAK animation plays on the TV) WESTERN VOICE: COMMMMMME N' GET IT! ME: Hold that thought! That means it's the end of Round One and time for a treat! Jay, you can remove the Cone of Shame now (he does as the theme starts up again); everyone, hold up your bowls! (They do so) Happy Easter, you bunny-brains! (Jellybeans fall down from the ceiling, some falling in the bowls, some falling in the players' laps, some falling on the floor. The players start throwing the jellybeans at each other.) ME: Here are the scores at the end of Round One. JAY: 20 points
KOURTNEY: 10 points
KEVIN: 15 points
ME: Very close game going here. Round Two will change that, for sure. The player who is left standing...I mean, sitting after those festivities can go on to win these fabulous prizes!  COLIN: From Dorling-Kindersley, a selection of four illustrated reference books outlining the history of movie-making, and sending you into the worlds of Disney, Star Wars, and James Bond. Explore the magic of the movies with the books that show you what the others only tell you. KARI: Enjoy the fun of music in a portable package with the Casio CTK-4400 digital keyboard. With built-in Hall effects, you can bring the concert to your home with 61 keys, 600 tones, built-in metronome, 152-tune song bank, and 180 built-in rhythms. Musical fun from Casio! COLIN: The Airhead Live Wire 2 towable allows for a variety of action-packed fun on the water. Point it forwards, and you can ride comfortably in a seated position. Point it backwards, and ride it like a chariot! Foam-filled nylon handles and neoprene knuckle guards provide a safe and comfortable ride for up to two adults. Comes with safety valves for quick inflation and deflation, Kwik Connect Tow Points, a 120-volt Super Pump, and a tow rope. KARI: The Sony Playstation 4 "Call of Duty: Black Ops III" bundle comes with a 500-gig game system, standard edition full game, Nuketown bonus multiplayer map, and Dualshock 4 wireless controller to provide the ultimate gaming experience. Plus, we're throwing in two more games of your choice for you to challenge your friends. KARI: Warning: more fun ahead... COLIN AND KARI: ...WHEN "REMOTE CONTROL" CONTINUES! |

(Steve plays along with the theme as the camera shows the contestants preparing to resume play)
COLIN: Welcome back to the only game show in which, somehow, contestants can predict answers to upcoming questions, "Remote Control"! Let's rejoin the action with our host, Jon Darrall!
ME: Thanks, Colin! You know, you're right in that Jay said John F. Kennedy for one answer, only for it to be the answer to the next question. We've got a tight game going here. Ready for more, players?
JAY, KOURTNEY, AND KEVIN: YEAH!
ME: Good, 'cause I've got more to give you! We've reloaded the TV set with 9 new channels. Same rules as before, except the points double, and....
KARI: Does anything else double, Jon?
ME: I'm glad you asked, Kari! Indeed, we double....the danger! (Steve plays a suspenseful tone). That's right. At the end of this round, the TV will go off the air. Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't be the lowest-scoring player, or I'll have to send you outta here when it's raining! On that note, let's pick up the game.
JAY, you gave the last right answer, so you can start us off. Pick any channel!
(Jay picks up his remote and...)

(Jay presses button 7 on his remote) ME: Before we proceed, Colin, any predictions on this close game? COLIN: Honestly, I'm not too sure. I like comeback kids, though, so I think Kourtney might pull it off! ME: Hear that, Kourtney? You've got Colin pulling for you! Anyway, let's see what's behind Channel Seven, please...  ME: ..."THE BIG BANG THEORY"! (Audience applauds and cheers as Steve plays "It All Started With the Big Bang" on his keyboard) Allegedly, Bill Gates once said that "You should be nice to nerds - you might end up working for one." (Steve plays a rimshot on his soundboard...audience laughs) He should have added, "Or, they might star in a ridiculously successful sitcom." In any case, we've got questions about the show that proved that, yes, it's cool to be smart! (I flash a cheesy smile and give a thumbs up to the camera. Laughter) For 10 points... When geeks fall in love, they seem to always make cute couples, and the couples on "BBT" are no exception. In fact, these two characters REALLY cemented their cute couple status by finally having a "big bang" of their own in 2015. Name BOTH of the characters. |

(Jay and Kourtney look stumped...BONG! Kevin's light shines)
ME: Kevin?
KEVIN: Howard and Bernadette?
ME: Not the couple we needed. (DD BUZZ! Audience awwws as Steve plays the downward scale) Anyone else?
(Nothing...DD BUZZ-BUZZ!)
ME: Time is up. I'm surprised that you didn't remember SHELDON AND AMY. Jay, you're still in control, so select again.

ME: On to Channel Two, which has...  ME: ...WHAT'S THEIR LINE? (Applause as Steve plays the 1960s-70s "WML?" theme) Even TV characters have to earn a paycheck, so we've dedicated a channel to the workers of the TV world. The rules of this "Remote Control" classic are straightforward: I'll name a TV character and his or her show, you tell me his or her line of work. For 10 points... Molly Flynn on "Mike and Molly." |

(BONG! [89] Kevin's light shines)
ME: Yes, Kevin?
KEVIN: Teacher.
ME: That is correct! (Audience applauds as Steve plays a fanfare) Specifically, she was a fourth-grade teacher. However, there's a note on my card saying that about midway through the series, she quit teaching to become a WRITER, so we obviously would've taken that, too. All formalities aside, Kevin, you're in high cotton right now. You've got 25 points, the lead, and control. What now?

(Kevin presses button 1 on his remote) ME: For Channel One, we have...  ME: ...CARTOONS! (Audience applauds as Steve plays a few notes of the "Looney Tunes" theme) Whether they're silly or serious, bright and cheery or dark and dreary, cartoons have been entertaining us since before the days of television. These questions are about animated shows and characters. Here we go for 10 points, and it's multiple choice... Ren, Stimpy, both of them, or neither one of them: who could be spayed? |

(BONG! [20] Kourtney's light shines)
ME: Kourtney!
KOURTNEY: Neither of them.
ME: 10 points for you! (Steve plays a fanfare as audience applauds). Yeah, the reason is, by definition, only females can get spayed. As far as we know, both Ren and Stimpy are male. Kourtney, you're tied for second with Jay, but only 5 points behind. You're in control. Sticking, or switching?

(BONG! [96] Jay's light shines)
ME: Jay?
JAY: "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show," which are both set in Virginia.
ME: That's it! (Steve plays a fanfare as crowd applauds) Jay, can you do me a favor?
JAY: What's that?
ME (with mock exasperation): Let me do the explanation, please?! (Audience laughs) Hey, Colin, what is it with me having to remind contestants not to explain?
COLIN: Aw, come on, man...they all know you're paid by the word. Certainly ain't paid by the joke, that's for sure! (Steve plays a rimshot as the audience reacts)
ME: Wow...just...wow. Anyway, Jay is leading with 40, Kevin is in second with 25, and Kourtney trails with 20. Jay, you're in control. Would you like to close out this channel, or go somewhere else?
(Jay picks up his remote and...)

JAY: "King of the Hill."
ME: Wrong. (DD BUZZ! Steve plays downward scale as audience laughs) Note to Jay: pay attention to the question! Anyone else?
(BONG! Kevin's light shines)
ME: Kevin?
KEVIN: They were all voiced by Pamela Aldon.
ME: Hmmmm...judge? (DD BUZZ! Audience awwwws) Thought so; sorry, pal. Kourtney, want to try it? (He shakes his head no...DD BUZZ-BUZZ!) Kevin, you were really close, but too specific. The right answer is that they were all VOICED BY FEMALES. Scores stay where they are. Jay, you are still in control. Pick a new channel, other than 1, and keep in mind that you may go back to an already opened channel. Where are we going?

(Jay presses button 3 on his remote) ME: For Channel Three...  ME: ...PhD TV! (Steve plays "Pomp and Circumstance" as the audience applauds) Yes, here at "Remote Control," we're not afraid to ask the hard questions. These are questions that will challenge even the biggest TV trivia buffs. Everyone ready? For 10 points... TV cop Tony Baretta lived with his cockatoo in a run-down apartment in what run-down hotel? |

I have seen the thread in question, Jon, and I was not pleased with what I saw from Jay. Therefore, I'm afraid I must eject him from this game.

Post by jmdarrall on Apr 7, 2016 14:01:19 GMT -5
In light of the fact that Jay has been ejected from the game, I will offer his spot to an alternate. Anyone who did not play Episode 1 is eligible. Here's what will happen.
- You will inherit Jay's score of 40 and the lead.
- Since you joined in the second round, I'll let you return for the next game, win or lose.
- I also discovered that the question I used was asked (just in another way) on another Net Game. Therefore, I will throw it out and we'll play a new question once the alternate checks in.
So, who would like to take over?
