ME: For 20 points...
Despite the numerous sightings, we are sad to report that Elvis Presley did pass away in 1977 (Audience groans). We know that Elvis died at home, but where in his home did the King meet his maker?

(Only one goes for it...BONG! Marc's light shines)
ME: Marc again?
MARC: The bathroom.
ME: That's the place! (Crowd cheers as Steve plays a version of the Funeral March) You are absolutely killing it, Marc, with 205 points!
COLIN (shaking his head): What a dignified way for the King of Rock-and-Roll to go, man.
ME: You said it, Col. Anyway, Marc, what's your next move?
(Marc takes his remote and...)

In 2001, Dutch DJ JXL released his hit remix of Elvis's 1968 classic "A Little Less Conversation" after it was featured in what Las Vegas heist film, itself a remake of a 1960 movie starring the Rat Pack?

(BONG! [75] Matt's light shines)
ME: Matt!
MATT: "Ocean's 11"!
ME: That's the movie! (Crowd cheers as Matt celebrates and Steve plays the fanfare) Nicely done! You finally have control as your...
(Air raid sirens cut me off as the stage goes dark and the TV displays this...)
OFF THE AIR
ME: Uh-oh! The TV is now Off The Air, and that means one of you will go with it. Let's see who...
MARC: 205 points
MATT: 35 points
SAM: 60 points
ME: Matt! You tried, you really did, but Sam and Marc were just too fast for you! (Steve begins playing the melody to a 1965 Rolling Stones hit) Hope you like The Stones! See ya!
AUDIENCE (singing): HEY! HEY! YOU! YOU! GET OFF OF MY SHOW! HEY! HEY! YOU! YOU! GET OFF OF MY SHOW! HEY! HEY! YOU! YOU! GET OFF OF MY SHOW!
(As the crowd sings, Matt puts his remote and lockout down and hangs on as his chair gets yanked back, through the papier-mache breakaway brick wall. Two stagehands dressed in weird costumes torment him as a black curtain lowers. The crowd finally settles down.)
ME: Phew! Hate to have to do that, I really do. But, the rules say we have to. Sam, Marc, the two of you have survived...for now...let's play THIS, THAT, OR THE OTHER!

(Colin raises his hand)
ME: Colin, you have a question?
COLIN: I do. Several, actually. First, what is the difference between Sam and Marc's scores, currently?
ME: 205 minus 60 is 145, Colin.
COLIN: What's the BEST case scenario in "This, That, Or The Other"?
ME: That one player buzzes in first on all 12 questions and gets them right, thereby earning 120 points.
COLIN: Uh-huh. What's the WORST case scenario?
ME: That one player buzzes in first on all 12 questions and gets them wrong, thereby losing 120 points. And I think I see where you're going with this, Colin.
COLIN: Where am I going with this, Jon?
ME: That if EITHER the best case scenario happens to Sam OR the worst case scenario happens to Marc, there will not be a lead change! The lead is insurmountable! (Crowd applauds as Marc celebrates)
COLIN: Right! So, why even do "This, That, Or The Other"? Let's ask Marc if he wants to go ahead and yank Sam.
ME: OK. Hey, Marc. You are far enough in the lead that we don't need to play further. Want to just go ahead and give Sam the ol' yank?

ME: We'll figure out something...maybe you could sing us out before we go to the closing credits, Greg! (Crowd applauds) Meanwhile, Sam, I'm sorry. We enjoyed having you come in all the way from Wales, but if Marc says you've gotta go, then you've gotta go! Bye! (Sam puts down his lockout and grabs on to the armrests of his chair, which is launched backward until it hits the left side of the rotating wall. The wall rotates side-to-side, so that the outside wall now becomes the inside wall) ME (Sitting on Marc's armrest): Congratulations, Marc! (I high-five him) Your domination in that game was incredible, if not downright scary! You've earned another ride on the Wheel of Jeopardy, and another chance to win great prizes like these!  COLIN: From Proform, the 415 LT Treadmill is the perfect way to train. With the help of Jillian Michaels, the iFit Weight Loss plan will help you get in shape fast.

(Theme plays as we see an overhead shot of Marc in position on the Wheel of Jeopardy. The Go-Pro in the center is active and trained on Marc's face.) ME: Thanks and welcome back! Marc, you've shown an impressive amount of pop culture knowledge, but now you are going to be put to the ultimate test: The Wheel of Jeopardy! You know how this works. We spin you around at 33 and 1/3 RPM...or is it 45 RPM?...doesn't matter! Anyway, as you spin, I'll fire 10 questions your way. Hopefully, you'll volley back 10 answers. When we go through all 10 questions, we'll see how you did. Every right answer will increase your odds of winning our Grand Prize. In addition, each right answer gets you a prize. For the first eight right answers, you'll win one of the prizes Colin and Kari described earlier. You give me nine right answers, though, and you're going on a trip! Hey, Colin... ME AND THE AUDIENCE: WHERE ON EARTH IS HE GOING?  COLIN: He could "Laissez le bon temps roulez" in the Big Easy: New Orleans, Louisiana! Southwest Airlines Vacations will fly you and a guest from New York LaGuardia to New Orleans, where you'll spend six nights at Harrah's New Orleans. Live it up in true Cajun style in a Premium King Room. The hotel and casino offer over 115,000 feet of gaming space, the famous Besh Steakhouse, Masquerade Nightclub, and the exciting Fulton Street District. Jazz it up, baby, 'cuz we're including ground transportation, insurance, and $500 spending cash to make this trip worth over $3,300! ME: New Orleans! Been there, loved it! By the way, Colin, do you even know what "Laissez le bon temps roulez" even means? COLIN: Isn't it "Let the good times roll"? ME: By golly, he's good! (Crowd applauds) But, wait, Marc...oh, Marc...you picked a mighty fine day to play the Wheel of Jeopardy. That's because the Grand Prize is huge today. Give me 10-for-10, or have your cabeza pointing to a WIN! screen when we stop, and you get to stick a key in THIS!  (Crowd gets pumped, as does Marc) KARI: It's a new CAR! The 2016 Nissan Versa Sedan! It's stylish, yet economical. Standard features include dual fuel-injected 4-cylinder engine with 109 horses, 5-speed stick, independent suspension, AC, CD stereo, Bluetooth system, advanced airbags, and traction control. From Nissan: Innovation That Excites! It's a Grand Prize worth nearly $12,000! ME: Did you hear that?! A car! Let's not waste any more time. During the commercial break, you picked one of three subjects: TV, MOVIES, or MUSIC. Which one was your choice? MARC: TV again. ME: It was good to you last time, so let's see if it works for you this time. Kari, may I have the TV envelope, please? (Kari brings it to me) KARI: Here you are, Jon (She goes over to Marc, looks him in the eyes and...). Marc, if you win this car, then I'll take you backstage and... (She whispers something inaudible, out of range of Marc's microphone) ...got that? (Audience reacts wildly) ME: You jackals! You don't know what she said, and I DON'T think Marc's gonna tell us! Anyway, let's see what your ordeal is today (I open the envelope). Interesting. The category is LIKE A BOSS. As you know, even TV characters have to deal with their bosses. I'll name a boss from a TV show, past or present. You give the name of the MAIN CHARACTER OR CHARACTERS employed by that person. For instance, if I said "Mr. Slate," you would say "FRED FLINTSTONE." Remember, I need the CHARACTERS' NAMES. Just a few more rules: I must take your FIRST response only, you get one crack at each question, and I must have EXACT answers. ME: Knowing all this, I am legally obligated to ask: Do you have any questions before we begin? |

ME: Then, let's get started. As you know, I'll start the first question when you make one full rotation. I'll take my place (I go to my stanchion), and we'll throw the switch now! (I throw the switch) Good luck!
(Marc begins rotating...he makes one complete revolution a few seconds later.)
ME: First question...
