ME: James is right, and Matt is right. John, they actually have FOUR children - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. James and Matt each score $150 and maintain their deadlocked lead (Applause). Let's try a question on GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
How brief can we get with our answers? Let's try one letter. I'll give you three clues. Pick one and tell me the one-letter answer that it refers to. Look at the screen.
A. 007's boss.
B. A strikeout in baseball.
C. Harry Truman's middle name.
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, James.
ME: John, go for it!

ME: The tie has been broken. John was right...Matt was right...James was not (Audience reacts). James, a strikeout in baseball is denoted by THE LETTER K, not X. That means James is in second with $975, John goes to $600, and Matt is our leader with $1,125 (Applause)! Here's a question on FILMS.
Let's see how well you remembered the most recent Oscar ceremony. The 88th Academy Awards honored the best in film for 2015-2016. I'll give three categories. Pick one, and tell me who or what won the Oscar in that category. Look at the screen.
A. Best Picture
B. Best Actor
C. Best Actress
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, James, Matt.
ME: John?

ME: James regains the lead with a $300 answer (Applause)! "SPOTLIGHT" was indeed Best Picture, Best Actor was LEONARDO DICAPRIO, and Best Actress was BRIE LARSON. Let's try a question on WORLD GEOGRAPHY.
Many of the world's major cities are located on gulfs. For instance, La Paz, Mexico is on the Gulf of California. I'll name three other world cities. Pick one and tell me the gulf on which it is located. Look at the screen.
A. Lagos, Nigeria
B. New Orleans, U.S.A.
C. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, James, John.
ME: Matt?

ME: Oh, dear. They stuck you with the toughie, I'm afraid. The answer we needed on Lagos was THE GULF OF GUINEA. James and Matt score $150 apiece (Applause). Let's continue with TELEVISION.
Many American television shows or franchises are actually adaptations of foreign programs. I'll show you three popular American TV shows or TV franchises. Pick one and tell me its country of origin. Look at the screen.
A. "Ninja Warrior"
B. "Ugly Betty"
C. "Deal or No Deal"
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)

ME: COLOMBIA...all three right for $100 (Applause)! Let's keep it going with U.S. HISTORY.
In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American War and gave the U.S. access to over 500,000 square miles of territory in what is now the American Southwest. I'll name three states. Pick one and tell me, YES or NO, was ANY part of it granted in the treaty? Look at the screen.
A. Nevada
B. Idaho
C. Colorado
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, James.
ME: Go for it, John.

ME: Oh, my! John, you scored on that one, buddy (Applause)! NEVADA was a YES, and IDAHO was a NO. Let's check in on the scores.
JAMES: $1,525
JOHN: $1,000
MATT: $1,375
ME: John gained a little ground there as we go to CHILDREN'S LIT.
Many American children read the books of Dr. Seuss. I'll describe three of his most memorable characters. Pick one and name him or her. Look at the screen.
A. He "sings for the trees."
B. He "heard a Who."
C. She has a flower growing out of her noggin.
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
