You got nine! (many cheers & applause) Yes indeed, HIGGINS is the current sidekick of Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show". The last one, the only one that you passed on in fact was an early 1980s CBS spinoff... Yellow line, position 2 "FLO", which was a spin-off of "ALICE". Jon, you have earned for yourself 9 big picks from our money board.  A bandit lurks behind one number. If you select it, you win nothing here in the bonus game, but still keep your front game winnings. One card says ZILCH, which basically means zero dollars for that pick. All others are money cards ranging from as little as $500 all the way up to $2,500. One other card says "DOUBLE YOUR DOLLARS". If you find that, as long as you don't uncover the bandit, you will have the final pot total doubled! However, for the first pick only, we have replaced the "DOUBLE" card with a "JACKPOT" card. If you pick that right now, you will win an instant $50,000 in cash! (NBC canned "Whoooooooh!!!") If not, we will replace the Jackpot card with the Double card, and the Jackpot will grow to $51,000 for our next show. Jon, I'll ask you to select all 9 of your numbers right now, and after each reveal, you'll have the option to quit and take the cash or risk it. Good luck Jon! |

Very well Jon and we will reveal them in that very order too. Number 4... (flip)  $700.  Although I assume you're going to continue, I'm obliged to ask if you wish to stop and take the $700 sure thing or have us reveal number 6. |

Number 6 was next...  There's a nicer one! (applause) $1,750, now you have $2,450 at stake. Remember the DOUBLE YOUR DOLLARS card is up there somewhere, but so too is that Bandit waiting to take away your earnings. Stop here or go again Jon? |

I'm assuming that means continue...
Number 8...

Still at $2,450. Wish to continue still or stop here with $2,450?

OK. That's out of the way. Go on!
(For the record, "mas" means "more" in Spanish.)

LOL, yes indeed it does. Been a long time since I had Spanish class!
Number 9 is...
DOUBLE YOUR MONEY!!!!
(cheers & applause)
$2,450 you have in the pot. If you stop right here we'll double it to $4,900 Jon, or you may continue, if you do not fear the bandit.

You know what? I promised myself I'd stop if I doubled and got a good amount. I'm going to stop!

 (applause) Jon, congratulations, another $4,900 giving you a grand total for one day of $9,900! Not only are you an exceptional player, but your instincts are beyond incredible. You picked 11 next...  (gasping in the audience) You got out JUST in time Jon! Very very well played! We'll be back to wrap this party up, right after this! (theme plays, applause) |

Jon Darrall has $9,900 and will take on a new challenger tomorrow. Meantime this is Bill McDee reminding you that laughter is the best medicine. It must be, because the pharmacy can never seem to keep it stocked their shelves. From all of us here at WordPlay, have yourself a terrific day!
(end theme & closing credits)
(FYI - WordPlay is going into the "shop" for a little bit of retooling. I hope to bring it back again soon).
Ready for archiving.
