2. What term applies to space devoid of matter?
3. Mama, Papa, Sister, and Brother are the names of what animals in children's literature?

1. During which war did the flag flying above Fort McHenry inspire Francis Scott Key's "The Star-Spangled Banner"? (buzzcode: 86) *Ian buzzes in (24)*Ian? Ian: The War of 1812Yes, sir. You go to $35. (ding)
Kourtney: $15
Ian: $35

Kourtney: $15
Ian: $35
John: $50
3. Mama, Papa, Sister, and Brother are the names of what animals in children's literature? (buzzcode: 6) *John buzzes in (35)*John? John: The Berenstain BearsThat's right as well. Expanding your lead. (ding)

Kourtney: $5
Ian: $35
John: $55
The one good thing about this is that if you hit $0 at any point, we give you another $20. We also give $20 to your opponents. [INSTANT BARGAIN]John, Instant Bargain time for you. And how about this? (Shannon and Mitch, dressed as stockbrokers, buy and sell) Leslie: John, I live in New York, and you know that one of the big things in that area is Wall Street. Mmmm hmm, seems I can't walk down the street without some stockbroker wantin' a peek inside my portfolio, y'all get what I'm sayin!? Anyway, what we got for ya here is 3,500 shares of the Franklin Income Fund. Yeah! It comes from Franklin Templeton Investments, this firm with over 850 billion dollars in assets! That's with a B! Oh, and the value of this stock is based on its final trading price on the day of taping. From Franklin Templeton Investments. It's normally priced at....$7,840But for you, baby, $ale of the Century's knockin' the price all the way down to just....$10(audience cheers as I join them) Greg: You know, I hate what CNBC has done to NBR. It's like what HBO has done to Sesame Street. Now, the Nightly Business Report is nothing more than a part of the cable business network machine. (Leslie nods enthusiastically) (to John) Now, John, when is a chance like this ever gonna come again? Now, this is a multi-asset fund. Get a load of the description. (reading off the sheet) "The fund seeks to maximize income, while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation, by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds." What an investment. And you're getting 3,500 shares! That's a lot! |

No Sale. I guess he doesn't like mutual funds, either. [$ALE SURPRISE](audience groans) Oh, there was a $ale Surprise attached to it. (Shannon pulls out an envelope and gives it to me) Thank you, Shannon. (I look inside) Let's see what you passed up. And it was two tickets first class to New York City! (audience groans loudly) You passed up a trip, John. A trip! Ah, well. Don't bother to describe it, Burton, he's not interested. Oh, well. Maybe we'll give it away next time. (I walk back to my lectern) Back to the questions. 1. What TV series has produced episodes titled "...And Found" and "...In Translation"?
2. Beginning with "P", what sports term is also the name of the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle?
3. Which artist had his wish for 60 beggars to follow his coffin to the grave?(buzzcodes and answers, please) |

1. What TV series has produced episodes titled "...And Found" and "...In Translation"? (buzzcode: 25) *John buzzes in (24)*John? John: LostIt would make sense, wouldn't it? You're right. (ding)
Kourtney: $5
Ian: $35
John: $60
2. Beginning with "P", what sports term is also the name of the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle? (buzzcode: 23) *Kourtney buzzes in (50)*Kourtney? Kourtney: Pivot (wrong)(I have a smile on my face) It's a punt, Kourtney! It's a punt! You go down to $0.
Kourtney: $0
Ian: $35
John: $60
But, on this show, we invoke the rule set by the late and great Joe Garagiola. Any time a contestant hits $0, all three players get an additional $20. So, let's give everybody another $20. (ding)
Kourtney: $20
Ian: $55
John: $80
You know, that rule was much more effective during the Shopping era. Maybe we shouldn't have switched to Ten-in-a-Row. Oh well. 3. Which artist had his wish for 60 beggars to follow his coffin to the grave? (buzzcode: 87) *Ian buzzes in (47)*Ian? Ian: Leonardo da VinciThat's correct. And you go to $60. (ding)
Kourtney: $20
Ian: $60
John: $80
Well, $60 separates our three players, while only $20 separates Ian and John. That means John has a $20 lead, but we have a $15 Money Card up on the board to go with the $10. Hands on buzzers, looking for a famous thing. I am a music chart launched on August 4, 1958. The foundations of me were in three charts that had equal "weight" in terms of their importance, although many chart historians refer to the Best Sellers in Stores chart when referencing a song's performance prior to the creation of me. My creator eventually created a fourth singles popularity chart that combined all aspects of a single's performance (sales, airplay and jukebox activity), based on a point system that typically gave purchases more weight than radio airplay. But when I was created, I became the industry standard. For 21 years, a very popular radio show used my chart data exclusively. However, the ongoing splintering of Top 40 radio in the early 1990s led stations to lean into specific formats, meaning that practically no station would play the wide array of genres that typically composed each of my charts. Nevertheless, I have endured as the only widely circulated published report on songs that have been popular across the United States over the last half-century. As of the issue for the week ending August 6, 2016, I have had 1,056 different number-one hits, with the most recent being "Cheap Thrills" by Sia featuring Sean Paul.(buzzcode and answer, please) |

Ian: the Billboard Hot 100That is correct! (audience cheers) And the challenger once again has a chance to make some headway. Where's the $15, Leslie?

One would go in my room—that's the TV, and the other in the basement—that's the sofa. But of course, together they'd have the makings of a swell dream den if only my place had a spare room.

Kourtney, you could get back into this.... maybe. Ian, perhaps you can add to your score... or just your den. (audience chuckles) Famous person. I am an athlete born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on January 16, 1979. My family later moved to Texas to the San Antonio area, and I graduated from Canyon High School in New Braunfels in 1997. I played college golf at Baylor University in Waco and turned professional at age 22 in 2001. I played on the Nationwide Tour full-time in 2003 and 2004, and in the later year, I won the first two professional events of my career at the BellSouth Panama Championship and the Chitimacha Louisiana Open. I ended the 2004 season as the Nationwide Tour's leading money winner and won Player of the Year honors, while in the process earning my PGA Tour card for the first time. I only played in nine PGA Tour events in 2005 due to injury, making three cuts and a best finish of 17th at the MCI Heritage. I finally won my first PGA Tour event at the 2013 Frys.com Open, after nine years and 188 PGA Tour starts. The win gave me an exemption into the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, and earned me my first trip to the Masters Tournament and a PGA Tour card until the end of 2016.(buzzcode and answer, please) |
