MATCH GAME/HOLLYWOOD SQUARES HOUR - Episode 10 (from NYC!)

[palmer7]

The wedding arc was shot last month, silly. This was shot two weeks ago. Ridge can't decide whether he wants to tie himself down to FremantleMedia or not, and I nearly hit on Mrs. Arnold before I realize my mistake.

[asja2002]

I'll have to look to catch your work then. I'm working with Reg Grundy and Fremantle on a new project based on a board game that I hope goes well in daytime. Gonna be right here on NBC so stay tuned

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okie doke. They're ready. Kourtney, here's the diatribe -- er, uh -- question once again.

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

Doug Morris said, "Remember when I hosted 'Celebrity Card Sharks' on another network with Greg and Tony as the players? Remember the ten college girls we had as our guests for certain questions? As the closing credits rolled, Carla the co-ed flashed us her BLANKS."

[pathfinder20]

Her Breasts.

[Deleted]

(raises fist in the air) Boo-yah!

[billmcdee]

That is why they call it the boob tube after all.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Breasteses -- that's *the* answer, all right. Let's see if you get five breasts -- or, ten, as the case may be. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Bill, we start again with you.

Bill: Since I want to keep this a G rated program. She flashed her

Bill: Grades....two big B's and one big A

(cheers from the crowd -- but no sound yet from Skippy)

---

(obvious edit)

Doug: Okay, our judge, Skippy Trebek, called for a stop tape to look and verify if "grades" and "breasts" can match each other. Skippy, what's the call?

Skippy: (over loud speaker) We've found the term "bad grades" is synonymous with large breasts. It's a match.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: And that's another $100 for Kourtney. Greg?

Greg: Oh, I was there. Let's see.... Liz was the one who went skinny-dipping, and Leigh had the back tattoos...... the reason I know this, by the way, is because I watched the tape again and had an intimate conversation with each one of them...... Carla... ah, Carla, she had melons the size of Texas.....

Oh, oh.... excuse me. You can't say melons on TV anymore.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's $300 in total for Greg.

Sam: Look out, Greg's going to chattering on forever when he goes about things like this!

Doug: Well, Kourtney hopes you concur.

Sam: Warning -- the Sam may have a dirty but reasonable answer.

(ding; audience applause)

Sam: Admit it, did you like it or was it a surprise?

Doug: Kourtney certainly likes it. He's up to $400. Steve?

Steve: I'm probably going to lose my new NBC show for the utterances I'm about to make.

(scattered laughter and cheers)

Steve: There I think that covers all the bases, so to speak. Oy, I don't think my "Deal" ladies are going to speak to me after this show airs.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: We'll call the counselor just before Square. Hunter, if you match Kourtney, he's got a clean sweep.

Kourtney: The definitive answer:

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: That's a sweep. We give you $400 extra for maxing out. A total of $1000 -- just for saying breasts. What a country. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Matt, this means you've got to max out on the last question just to force a tie-breaker.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Doug grabs B; walks to panel)

Last question in Match Game, pending a tie-break, goes something -- like this.

Billy Mitchell said, "I hold the highest score ever in the history of the video game Pac-Man. Think you can top 3,333,360 points? You don't stand a BLANK of a chance."

(audience laughs and appplauds) (think music plays)

[tmann3x]

"Billy Gardell", Matt Bingel, and Kevin... be on standby for The Hollywood Squares!

[dougmorrisontheair]

They're all ready. Matt, remember, you need all six to stay in business. Here's the question one more time.

Billy Mitchell said, "I hold the highest score ever in the history of the video game Pac-Man. Think you can top 3,333,360 points? You don't stand a BLANK of a chance."

[mringgenberg]

Ghost?

[Deleted]

I think Matt might of forced a tie breaker here!

[palmer7]

Well, with a question that obvious, we deserve a tie breaker.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Whereas Round 1 usually has the toughies, Round 3 usually has the gimmes. I do smell dueling perfect scores here in a bit. Bill, as before, you get us started.

Bill: Now audience, in the spirit of the season, feel free to BOO this answer...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Boo in a different way, of course. There's one. Need five more to clinch the tie. Greg?

Greg: The definitive answer

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: That's two. Sam, do you make it three?

Sam: I actually loved playing a bit of Pac-Man myself. There's four things: Pac Man, Pellets, Mazes and:

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: That's three. Need the same answers from the bottom tier or else Kourtney's off to the squares. Tony?

Tony: In the words of Ray Parker, Jr.-- "I ain't afraid of no-- *shows card*

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's four. Even though Pac-Man usually deals with four ghosts, Matt needs to see two more for the tie. Steve?

Steve: Pinkie... She was my favorite

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's five. Now, it boils down to Hunter.

Hunter,

if

you

wrote

down

"ghost",

we

are

going

to

play

a

tie-

breaker.

What

say

ye

for

the

tie?

(Hunter imitates lost life SFX from Pac-Man)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: A few hearts stopped. Someone might've thought you played the villain. But you didn't. Game ends in a tie.

(Doug pushes button on toaster revealing tie-breaker round question and answers)

Doug: And now, it's tie-breaker time. Stars, let me give you the tie-breaker question first.

________PARKER

(Note from Doug: Stars, please do *not* say any answers yet. But please marinate on the question and think of an answer or two -- or nearly a half dozen if you're on the bottom row.

Players, please watch for further instructions in your PM inboxes.

For the rest of the universe, please do *not* blurt out any answers.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Doug: Players, here on the board, you see the question the stars are thinking about -- as well as four possible answers.

Matt, since you went second in the first round, you'll pick first. Kourtney, you'll then choose from the remaining three answers.

Doug: After you've each chosen an answer, each star will offer an answer. As soon as a star matches your answer, you instantly win the tie-breaker, win another $500 and you'll advance to the squares.

Matt, please choose an answer by number -- 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Matt: 2.

(Doug pulls answer number 2 from toaster; hands to Matt)

Doug: There ya go. Kourtney, of the remaining answers, which would you like?
 
Kourtney: I will go with one then.

(Doug pulls answer number 1 from toaster; hands to Kourtney)

Doug: Annnnd -- there ya go.

(walks to panel)

Doug: The stars will now offer answers one at a time. When a star matches your answer, holler, jump, shout or do something else to grab our attention. Bill, we're starting with you. How do you fill in the blank?

(Matt shows card)

Sarah Jessica Parker -- the actress. Sorry that didn't work out. But you're going home with $1000 in cash and some fine prizes from Match Game. Nice hand for Matt.

(more cheers and applause)




*fade to commercial*

[tmann3x]

============================================================================================



*back to studio*


(Super Match cue, Steve announces, cheers and applause)

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

(cheers and applause)


Tony: Thanks, Steve.  Welcome back to the second half of the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour... coming to you from the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City!

(cheers and applause)


Not only just that... as of October 31st, our show is celebrating our 33rd anniversary here on NBC!

(more cheers and applause)


I'm here with the winner of Match Game... Kourtney Wilson.  So far, he has an all-cash total of $1,500.  That's just the beginning... because in just a few minutes, he'll be playing against the champion on The Hollywood Squares.  Right now, let's re-introduce the three additional panelists.

At top left, welcome him back to the show Billy Gardell.

(cheers and applause)



At top center, he's the host of "The Dice Game" on the other network.  Please give it up for Matt Bingel.

(more cheers and applause)



And finally... at top right, he is the star of "Blockbusters" here on NBC.  Please welcome, my fellow New Yorkers, to Kevin Kolsen!

(even more cheers and applause)



Bill... I heard that the NBC Daytime line-up has more game shows including your own show "Three On A Match".  How do you feel about Kevin hosting "Blockbusters"?

[billmcdee]

He's doing a super job and it's indeed a fun watch.  It's a great addition to the Peacock network, as is Scrabble, which is another fun and challenging word game hosted by yours truly.

One nice thing about "Squares", it's a lot like football, only have to deal with X's and O's!

[tmann3x]

Speaking of football terms, we're now at the end of halftime.  Time for us to get this show on the road and play The Hollywood Squares!

(cheers and applause)

*host and Kourtney walks all the way to their own desk*

And playing against Kourtney is our defending champion.  Making his third appearance, he has a total of $83,650 in cash and prizes.  Please welcome... Frank Driscoll.

(cheers and applause)


So Frank... please tell us briefly about yourself.

[fdriscoll22]

Well, I'm a student at San Francisco State University, where I'm studying broadcasting. And I hope to work in news in the Bay or maybe the whole country someday.

[tmann3x]

Good luck to you, Frank. Are you and Kourtney ready?

[pathfinder20]

I am ready.

[tmann3x]

And Frank... are you ready too?

[fdriscoll22]

I sure am!

[tmann3x]

Alrighty then... let's get things started.

The object of the game is to get three stars in a row... or get as many of the squares as you possibly can.  It's up to you if the star is telling you the truth or just making things up.  That's how you get the square.  Each of the square is worth $250.  And we'll continue playing the game until we hear the time's up bell.  Whoever is in the lead at the end of The Hollywood Squares, will be meeting our co-host Doug and the right to play the Super Match for as much as $100,000!

(cheers and applause)

Round 1 is worth $1,000.  And Frank... you'll be going first.  Whenever you're ready, please pick a square.

[fdriscoll22]

Greg Palmer, please.

[tmann3x]

(cheers and applause)


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


Off the coast of what continent will you find the Strait of Magellan?

[palmer7]

The Strait of Magellan....... are you suggesting some of his family was queer?


Ah, that would be in South America.
