 Another ladybug. Matt if there is one in the 20 column, and there may be, pick it on the next try and you'll score another $625. Which box next? |

 (APPLAUSE) Another match, and another $625!  www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/tpir-pathding.wavOh my! (applause) And for the second time, Matt uncovered the Bonus Match! Could mean nothing, or $125 more or $250 more Matt. Do you want 20, 30 or 40 this time? |

 WOW! (applause) Again he found the big one, $250!  So after 2 rounds, it's all Matt, already with $2,100, but Jon & Greg fear not, there is a LOT more game to play! If Matt wins this game, it will be his third victory, and he will automatically play the Bonus Bucks game for the car and a cash jackpot of at least $29,000 and a possible $58,000! Right now, we need to pause for a few words of interest. Won't you please watch? Thank you. |

(APPLAUSE)  Back to Three on a Match where Matt has already made 2 matches, both were bonus matches at that, and has $2,100 thus far. Jon & Greg yet to score, but there's still plenty of time. The Jackpot question lurks behind one of the three slides above me, so that will be worth $600 right away at this point. Also, the player with the lowest score after Round 6 will be eliminated from the rest of the game, so still 4 rounds to make some money. Let's work on making some right now, the next category board code is 41, let's see who came closest this time, will it be Matt again?  No, this time it was Jon with 51 who is closest. Top, Middle or Bottom Jon? |

 Inventors is the category Jon, and it's a visual clue...  This is a picture of a cotton gin. To score some money and earn your first trip to the matching board Jon, please give me the last name of the American who is most commonly credited for having invented it. |

Thank you all for your kind patience, and thank you Jon for your well wishes. Your answer is also right! (applause) Let's find out if the Jackpot is under INVENTORS...  No, but $125 for you Jon and a trip to the big matching board. Jackpot now up to $650.  Remember now the first box you select will determine how many total picks you will get here at the big board, anywhere from 6 to 9. Please select your first 2 boxes Jon and good luck. |

30 on the red...  Only 6 picks, but we've seen matches made with 6 and even fewer picks...  American coins this time, that's a quarter.... 20 on the green...  And a Penny. Were Dr. Sheldon Cooper of "The Big Bang Theory" playing this board, he undoubtedly would want to uncover the other two. "Penny...Penny...Penny..." And now that I've put in my 2 cents worth, Jon, you have 4 picks to go, still trying for $625 and of course the ever present possibility of it being the Bonus Match too... Where to next? |

 Another penny. You'll win $625 Jon if your next pick reveals a third penny. 3 picks left for you, and just a reminder the NO MATCH card is still lurking. Where to next? |

Last week, while vacationing, I learned of the sudden and unexpected death of Robin Williams. The following day, legendary actress Lauren Bacall passed away.
I said to my wife "These celebrity deaths usually happen in threes".
Ironically, I just found out from my wife, that long-time legendary announcer Don Pardo passed away yesterday in his sleep at age 96.
Don was the announcer on the original "Three on a Match", as well as "Jeopardy!" with Art Fleming, and of course "Saturday Night Live".
This episode is dedicated to the memory and the legacy of Don Pardo. |

A touching tribute to three legendary figures, Bill.
I'll go 40 on the blue.

 The "Top" category this time is "Mother Russia", and here is the question for you Jon...  What was the last name of the Soviet cosmonaut who was the first human to ever journey into outer space? |

Is RIGHT for another trip to the board! (applause) How much money behind "Mother Russia"?  Well well! The Jackpot question! That's another $650 added to your score Jon...  Now you have $1,400 and another trip to the board to make a match and perhaps add even more money to your score...  First 2 boxes if you please Jon... |

 Well again only 6 picks but last time you proved you needed only 4...  A parakeet. Looks like this board is dedicated to bird watching. 30 on the Yellow is next... (flip)  And a cardinal. Which box next Jon? |
