As Marc finishes taking his spin on the Wheel of Jeopardy, I need more people to come over to the hottest house party on TV! For this episode, I actually need two new competitors, because Marc is coming back (due to being a late substitute) on this episode. As long as you did not play Episode 2, you are eligible to play.
So, who's ready to sit down, strap in, and strut their stuff?

Also, I promised Marc a spot on this episode because he stepped in after Jay's removal. Once I know what Doug wants to do, I'll invite Marc.

OK. Doug has agreed to step aside for this episode...as a player. We could see him somewhere in the episode, though, which we'll start either tomorrow or Thursday. It will be Sam, Matt, and Marc!

It's gonna be Sam, Matt, and Marc in 3, 2, 1... (Opening sequence plays - you know the drill, slightly dorkier kid playing young me, more recent game show clips on the TV, last clip is of me on Wheel) Jonny wasn't like the other kids....REMOTE CONTROL! TV mattered, nothing else did....REMOTE CONTROL! Girls said "yes!", but he said "NOOOOOO!"....REMOTE CONTROL! Now he's got his own game show! REMOTE CONTROL! (Logo appears. Beneath it: 100% AMERICAN MADE - NO CAN-CON HERE!) COLIN QUINN: It's his house, his basement, his rules, his game show! And now, the new quizmaster of 72 Woopingkoff Lane... JON DARRALL! (I enter through the side door to applause and cheers from the crowd. Kari and Colin give me a standing applause as Steve plays more of the theme.) ME: Thank you! Welcome to "Remote Control"! Glad you could join us today. Before we start this shindig, let's say hello to Steve Trecasse! (Crowd applauds and Steve waves...he turns to reveal that he's wearing the "Video Power" jacket that C.L.G. found in the last episode.) Steve, really?! The "Video Power" jacket? I thought you dumped that in the East River! STEVE: Nope. Although, my usual "Remote Control" jacket went missing after the last episode. ME: Hmmm...a mystery, to be sure. We've gotta say hey to Kari Wuhrer! (Audience applauds, hoots, and hollers as Kari waves to the crowd. She's dressed in workout gear - black tanktop with pink trim, cropped cargo-style pants, and matching black and pink sneakers) Very nice, Kari! Just came from the cross-fit gym, I take it? KARI: Sure did! I don't take that "you fight like a girl" saying lightly. I take it as a challenge! (Crowd reacts as Kari puts up her dukes) ME: Knock it off, animals! Save your energy for the man, the voice of "Remote Control," Colin Quinn! (Crowd cheers loudly as Colin stands up and shows off his Yankees jersey) Yankees, eh, Col? You do know they're getting trounced so far. COLIN: Emphasis on "so far," there's still a lot of season left, buddy. ME: Huh, we'll see. Let's meet our players! Starting on my right, in the green chair, is this right? All the way from Wales, it's Sam! (Crowd applauds as Sam smiles and waves to the camera...he pulls out a Welsh flag bandanna from his pocket) Nice, the Welsh flag! Next, in the pink chair, from Iowa, say hello to Matt! (Crowd cheers as Matt raises the roof) Got anything for me, my friend? (Matt shakes his head no) Gotta learn to get on my good side, pal. Last, returning for a full game after subbing in on the last show, and sufficiently recovered from his successful spin on the Wheel of Jeopardy, it's Marc! (Crowd cheers as Marc gives two thumbs up to the camera) If you're ready, let's play "Remote Control"! (Steve plays along to the theme song's melody as Kari bangs on the bongos. I walk to my podium, turn to the picture on Ken Ober on the Wall of Fame, give it the thumbs up and say "For you, Ken!", then turn back around. The camera pans out showing the TV.)  ME: You guys know the rules. Pick a channel, and I'll drop some knowledge on you. You drop the right knowledge back on me, I give you points. Rack up enough points... COLIN (impersonating Butt-Head): Huh-huh-huh...you said "rack"! ME: (Laughing) Indeed, I did. OK, if you EARN enough points, you'll take a spin on the Wheel of Jeopardy, where we are offering over $19,000 in prizes today, including a super Grand Prize! (Audience oohs and ahhs at that) Before the show, we brought Kari to the Green Room and challenged each of you to give her your best pick-up line. Marc's line got shot down, and Matt's got laughed at, so SAM, I guess you won the pick-up line contest! You get to go first! Select a channel and let's get the game underway! (Sam picks up his remote and...) |

(Sam presses button 9 on his remote) ME: And we get this party started with...  ME: Holy crow! Another one of our game show knock-offs! It's time to MATCH 'IM UP REAL GOOD! (Audience cheers as Steve plays the "Match Game" theme on his keyboard) Today, MTV has been generous enough to pay an appearance fee for a special guest to come play this game. Before we introduce him, let me explain what's going to happen. This is a one-time channel, and it's for Sam only. Sam, you're going to choose one of two questions for our guest to answer. He's going to fill in the blank in that question, and you're going to try to guess what he wrote. Guess right, 10 points. Guess wrong, no points. Here's our guest now, the longtime Net Host of "Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour," DOUG MORRIS! (Doug comes in through the side door to wild applause. He takes his seat at the bar as Colin provides Doug with a write-on/wipe-off board.) ME: Doug, welcome to Woopingkoff Lane! Now, I know you've done MGHSH for a long time in various capacities. First, how long have you been doing this? Second, how does it feel having the shoe on the other foot, answering questions instead of asking them? (Camera aims at Doug's face...) |

Oh, gosh, I've been BLANKing up that show, one way or another, since 2000.
I've been a panelist every now and then *filling* in those blanks. Ready to give this a try.

ME: Wow, your run with MGHSH was longer than that of the long-running '70s version of Match Game, right?
DOUG: I believe so.
ME: Awesome! You've met Sam, right? (Doug goes over to Sam's chair, where the two shake hands). Sam is going to be your partner. Sam, Kari is holding two cards, labeled A and B. Pick one of the two and we'll see if you can Match 'Im Up Real Good.
(Sam, please pick A or B)

(Kari pulls Card A away from Doug and hands it over to me.)
KARI: You have to wait until he reads the question, Doug!
(Laughter)
ME: All right, guys, ready? Sam, get ready to ponder your answer to this statement. Doug, get ready to write. For 10 points...
ME: Kari Wuhrer said...(I gesture for Kari to come over and read the rest of the question)
KARI: ...I love that "Remote Control" is trying to recapture its glory days from the '80s, but some people want to take that too far. Just this morning, I had to tell my wardrobe mistress that there's NO way I'm ever wearing ________ again."
(Audience laughs as Steve plays a funky bass think cue. Doug writes his answer on a write-on/wipe-off board.)
(Doug, please PM me your answer. Sam, wait until I call on you to give an answer.)

ME: Doug is finished. Now, we'll see if you can Match 'Im Up Real Good. Sam, there's no way Kari is ever wearing what again?

I'm guessing, a tank top?

Post by jmdarrall on May 6, 2016 10:36:58 GMT -5
(Audience groans...some boo)
ME: Hey, hey! Be fair! He's from outside of the country. To be honest, Sam, that may not be the best answer. After all, Kari is wearing a tanktop now. A good answer would've been anything women in the '80s would've worn that would now be considered tacky or odd-looking. You never know, though, Doug might have said that. Doug, what did you say?
DOUG: Oh, Karrie, Karrie, Karrie (pronounces it like "Carrie" Underwood).
KARI: That's KARI (pronounces it KAH-REE)!
(audience laughs)
DOUG: I know. I had to do it for old time's sake. One of my favorite episodes from the original series was when you had the all-adhesives special. So that's why I went with (show answer) VELCRO.
(DD BUZZ! Steve plays the downward scale as the crowd applauds)
ME: That was a pretty good answer! I wouldn't have thought of it, but I do remember the "Salute to Adhesives" show. Say, Colin, do you think we could come up with some new "salutes" to try out?
COLIN: Maybe. We'll see. If you viewers have any suggestions, drop us a line!
ME: Sounds great! In the meantime, though, Sam didn't Match 'Im Up Real Good, so no points. However, Sam, you retain control. Doug, feel free to stick around, watch the proceedings, and bounce some ideas off Colin.
DOUG: I'd be glad to!
ME: Great! Sam, let's select another channel, please. 9 is now closed.

(Sam presses button 1) ME: For Channel One, we have...  ME: ...DEAD, ALIVE, OR INDIAN FOOD?! (Audience laughs as Steve uses his soundboard to mimic a sitar playing "Wanted: Dead or Alive") Over the past 40-50 years, Indian culture has made an impact on American lives. So, we'll whip out this "Remote Control" classic. The rules are simple: everyone plays. I'll give an Indian name. Tell me if I named a dead person, an alive person, or an Indian dish. Ready? For 5 points... Dead, Alive, or Indian Food? Phoolan Devi. |

Sorry, forgot to specify. Please send me a buzz code from 1-100, along with your answer, and do so by Private Message. I will have to hold you to your answer of "dead," but please send me a buzz code.

(BONG! [84] Matt's light shines)
ME: Matt?
MATT: Indian Food.
ME: Nope, sorry. (DD BUZZ! Steve plays the downward scale) Anyone else? (BONG! Marc's light shines) Yes, Marc?
MARC: Dead.
ME: Correct for 5! (Steve plays a fanfare as the crowd applauds) Phoolan Devi was India's "Bandit Queen." In the 1980s, she led a revolt of the dacoits and got jailed for doing so. Upon her release, she became a member of India's Parliament, then was killed in 2001. The story of her life was made into a Bollywood movie. Marc, since you got that one right, you have 5 points and control of the remote. You may either stick with this channel for a 10-point question, or change the channel. What's your pleasure?

(Marc presses button 2...)  ME: SING ALONG WITH GREG! OHHHHH YEAH! (Crowd loses it and cheers as Colin looks to be absolutely beside himself!) COLIN: Buh-buh-buh-but...tha-tha-that was my bit! ME: I know, Colin, I know, but I've got a buddy who's a singin' fool who thinks he can belt 'em out just like you. Ladies and gentlemen, the musical maestro of such shows as "Sale of the Century," "Wheel of Fortune," and many great shows...GREG PALMER! (Greg comes in through the back door, down the audience steps, and receives high-fives. He takes center stage with me as he holds a cordless mic.) ME: Greg, good to see you, my friend! I don't think you've ever sang on a game show before, have you? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Second, how does it feel knowing that your stepping into some hostile territory? After all, this WAS Colin's bit. (Colin gives Greg a death glare as Greg answers...) |

Yes, this was Colin's bit, but MTV wanted a better singer. Unfortunately, they weren't able to afford someone professional, so they got me.

COLIN: Better, huh? Why, I'll show...
ME: No, you won't! You've got a different role this time. You see, Greg, unbeknownst to you, this is your evaluation process to see if the producers and the staff like you. Since Steve, Colin, and Kari witnessed and engaged in many a Sing Along over the years, they will be judging you in a little segment called WOOPINGKOFF'S GOT TALENT!
(Audience applauds and laughs)
ME: As for you, players, you'll have to Sing Along with Mr. Palmer here. I'll tell you how many words and the artist info, then Greg will belt it out. When he stops, you must sing the words we need. If you don't indicate singing as part of your answer, we'll have to call you wrong, so REMEMBER TO SING! (In reality, just indicate "singing" when you type your answer in your PM). Ready, players?
MARC, MATT, AND SAM: Ready!
ME: Ready, sidekicks?
COLIN, KARI, AND STEVE: Ready!
ME: Ready, Greg?
GREG: Ready as I'll ever be. Let me warm up.
(He takes a swig of bottled water, then does a couple of scales.)
COLIN: You can warm up all you want, brother, you ain't gettin' anything from me!
ME: Colin....relax, will ya? Give him a chance.
GREG: Let's do this!
ME: OK, players, for 5 points...
Sing the next FIVE words to this hit by Wings which was later covered by Guns and Roses.
STEVE (Counting slowly): Two....three....four.....
(Steve plays the piano on his keyboard as Greg starts singing...)

(singing)
When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(Colin/Kari: you know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we're living
Makes you give in and cry
(I end it there with the official chorister's signal for "end")

(Only Marc tries signalling...BONG! His light shines, and I point to him.)
MARC (singing): "Say 'Live and Let Die'!"
ME: Right for 5 points! (Crowd cheers as Steve plays the bridge from that song) Thank you, Steve, for that lovely bridge. Let's go to you to give your judgement on Greg's performance. Steve?
STEVE: Well, Greg, I thought your performance...
(Colin cuts him off right there)
COLIN: Stunk! Who do you think you are, me?! (He holds up a little cardboard red X) BUHHHHHHHHHHH!
(Audience groans)
ME: Colin, settle down! You'll get your chance. Greg, as for you, buddy, we unfortunately have to take that first strike. Let's look at it this way, though. Good news, Colin's done! He can't judge you again. Better news, it takes three strikes to send you packing, so you're still in this. Marc, sorry about that brouhaha, man. You're leading with 10 points. You still have control. Want to give Greg another shot? (Crowd: YEAHHHHHHHH!) Or, go to another channel? (Crowd: BOOOOOOOOO!)
