MATCH GAME/HOLLYWOOD SQUARES HOUR - Episode 7

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Great answer. If Tony and Greg say "chimp", you've got the perfect score. We'll start with Greg.

Greg: Now, he was raised by apes. So he had -- (card) -- a chimp as a pet.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: That's $500 for David. Tony, it's all on your shoulders. If you wrote "chimp" or something to that effect, David's got a grand.

Tony: Tarzan... Lord of the Jungle. He's the reason why the entire city is driving them bananas! I really don't understand why on Earth he brought... (card)

...a giant gorilla in Jane's penthouse.

(audience starts to cheers)

Doug: Hold on, folks. Skippy wants to consult his thesaurus.

(obvious edit)

Skippy: "Chimp" and "gorilla" are synonymous. It's a match.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: All right, David. Way to go. A perfecto. Lenny, you've got a tough assignment. But we've had people clean house on one question before.

You'll actually have the services of everyone but Tony on this one. Match 'em all and we play a tie-breaker. Any mismatch -- and David goes to the Squares.

(Doug grabs A; walks to panel)

And last question in regulation Match Game goes something like this.

(Old May Perrywinkle said, "When I was in high school, I got injured playing football. Nowadays, I get hurt playing BLANK.")

(audience laughs)

(think music plays)

[tmann3x]

Michael Koontz, Hunter Dillon, and Jon Darrall-- be on standby for The Hollywood Squares.

[tmann3x]

[koopakid17]

I sent my answer already.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, they're all set. Lenny, need 'em all to force overtime. Question again.

Old May Perrywinkle said, "When I was in high school, I got injured playing football. Nowadays, I get hurt playing BLANK."

[redrangerdude]

Sorry for the wait. I would say shuffleboard.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered applause)

Doug: Going with shuffleboard. Need five shuffleboards to stay in business -- or else the desks whisk you, one way, to the Island of Lovely Consolation Prizes. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Bill -- talk to me.

Bill: Now he gets injured playing...

(buzz)

(dings; audience applause; win music plays; MG-HSH theme plays)

Doug: Not a match -- and David's got it.

Doug: What did the rest of you have?

Doug: Oh -- my answer wasn't there. I was thinking "bingo". David, please take your place here on the blue dot.

Lenny, we hope you had fun. You do take home $100 and some fine gifts from Match Game - Hollywood Squares. Nice hand for Lenny.

(more cheers) (MG desks roll toward stage left) (rest of grid for HS rolls in from stage right)

Doug: David, you cleaned up. You just won another $500 for winning Match Game. Total of $1500. Now you'll take on the champ as we play Hollywood Squares. That means Tony and I trade places -- and we'll welcome three more guests. More fun's on the way. So don't touch that remote.

(audience applause; MG-HSH theme plays)

Shadoe:  And now, Tony Lane and The Hollywood Squares.

(cheers and applause)



Tony:  Thank you, Shadoe Stevens.  I'm here with the winner of Match Game... David B.  So far, he has an all cash total of $1,500.  And in just one minute, he's gonna play against the champion on The Hollywood Squares.  Before we begin the second half portion, please allow me to re-introduce the three stars that will be joining us right now.

(cheers and applause)



At top center, he was the host of the syndicated game show "Bullseye"... please welcome Hunter Dillon.

(cheers and applause)



And finally at top right, he's the host of "Remote Control" on MTV... please welcome him to our broadcast... Jon Darrall.

(cheers and applause)




Greg... I hear there was history in the making on last week's "$ale of the Century Tournament of Champions" here on NBC.  Care to share us some brief details?

[palmer7]

Oh yes. We had a guy named Jon Darrall, no relation to the guy up there, who had a great finals. The first Speed Round ended in a tie, and Jon broke it, so he won a trip to Zurich. Then, on Friday, Jon won $25,000 on the CashCard, then hit the $25 and just zoomed ahead of everyone in the second Speed Round. He ended up winning with a two-game total of $225. He left us with over $1.6 million in cash and prizes, and he'll be guaranteed a spot in the heats next year so he can defend his title. It was just amazing.

[tmann3x]

That was awesome.  I'm sure he's waiting for two more players to challenge him in the next tournament.  Thanks, Greg.  And since David is pumped and ready to roll, let's head on over to the desk and play The Hollywood Squares.

(cheers and applause)

*both of them walk to their own spots*

And playing against David is our returning champion.  And after his first appearance, he has an all-cash total of $22,200.  Please give it up for MATT RINGGENBERG!

(cheers and applause)


Matt... please give us the 4-1-1 about yourself.

[mringgenberg]

I'm a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, IA. I'm a fan of The Simpsons and Peanuts.

[tmann3x]

So Matt... how was your first day as champion after winning over $20,000 in cash?

[mringgenberg]

It was incredible.

[tmann3x]

That's great to hear.  Good luck to you, Matt.  And good luck to you as well, Dave.

The object of the game is to get three stars in a row or get as much of the squares as you possibly can.  It's up to you if the star is telling the truth... or they've forgotten to set up their DVR and record "To Tell The Truth".

(audience laughs)


That's how you get the square.  We'll continue playing the game until we hear the time's up bell.  Whoever is in the lead at the end of H2, will be meeting our co-host Doug and play the Super Match for a chance to win up to $100,000.

(cheers and applause)

Round 1 is worth $1,000... and each captured square throughout the rounds is worth $250.  Matt... since you're now sitting in the X desk and our champion, you'll be going first.  Whenever you're ready, please pick a square.

[mringgenberg]

Greg Palmer

[palmer7]

(in a Jimmy Durante impression) In poi-son!

[tmann3x]

(cheers and applause)


Greg Palmer... host of "$ale of the Century" here on NBC.  Greg--


What playing card symbolizes death?

[palmer7]

Tony, you host Card Sharks, you should know this better than anyone. (audience ooooohs)


That would be the Ace of Spades.

[tmann3x]

Thank you, Bob Eubanks.

(laughter)


Matt... Greg says the answer is Ace of Spades. Do you agree or disagree?

[mringgenberg]

I Agree

[palmer7]

I like to think of myself as Bill Rafferty, thank you. (laughter)

[tmann3x]

Let me take a look at this card from "Card Sharks" that I've found inside The Burbank Studios basement...

OK then... The actual card that symbolizes death is--

--an Ace of Spades.  X gets the square.

(applause, ding)

It's your turn now, David.  Please pick a square.

[gameboy2000]

I pick Michael.

[tmann3x]

(cheers and applause)

Michael Koontz... host of "Family Feud".  Mr. Koontz--


What island country announced its neutrality the day after the 1939 German invasion of Poland?

[larsonfan1]

Yes...

(long pause)

Oh! it's not that kind of question.

(laughter)

If I remember correctly, the answer is Ireland.

[gameboy2000]

I agree

[tmann3x]

*Scottish accent*  You're right, laddie... *normal voice*  It was Ireland.  Circle gets the square.

(applause, ding)

Tie score at the moment.  Matt... please pick a square.
