ME: Right part of the world, wrong country (Audience groans). It's PAKISTAN. Kevin and Lenny score again (Applause). Come on, Kourtney, this will be your chance to catch up. Next question is on TELEVISION.
Many TV series were initially written to focus on one character, only to have a secondary character become the most popular. The best-known example of this is Steve Urkel from "Family Matters." I'll name three other TV "breakout characters." Pick one, and name his or her series. Look at the screen.
A. J.J. Evans
B. Jim Ignatowski
C. Blair Waldorf
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Lenny, Kourtney.
ME: Kevin, take it!

ME: Can't cash in. Only Lenny scores this time (Applause). Blair Waldorf was from "GOSSIP GIRL" and Jim Ignatowski...oh, my goodness! I can't believe you didn't know that..Reverend Jim from "TAXI." Maybe TV is not your thing. Let's try SPORTS.
The Indianapolis 500 is one of the oldest sporting events in America, and as such, there are many traditions associated with it. I'll ask three questions about these traditions. Pick one and answer it. Look at the screen.
A. How many laps?
B. Held the weekend of what holiday?
C. Winner's traditional beverage?
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Lenny, Kevin, Kourtney.
ME: Lenny?

The 500 is I think 100 laps.

The winner usually gets milk as the beverage.

ME: He got one! (Applause as Kourtney "raises the roof") Lenny and Kourtney score that time. Kevin, there are actually 200 LAPS in the Indy 500, because the 500-mile race takes place on a track that's 2.5 miles long. Let's check the scores.
KEVIN: $1,025
KOURTNEY: $650
LENNY: $1,625
ME: It seems like Lenny might run away with it, but we've still got a few more questions. Let's try one on TOURISM.
In many states, the easiest way to advertise for tourism is on their license plates. I'll name three slogans found on current U.S. license plates. Pick one and name the state. Look at the screen.
A. "Great Faces, Great Places"
B. "First in Flight"
C. "Wild, Wonderful"
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kourtney, Kevin, Lenny.
ME: Kourtney, off you go!

North Carolina is "first in flight".

I honestly have no clue about the other two. I'll say "Great Faces, Great Places" is California.

"Wild, Wonderful" is in West Virginia

ME: This time, Lenny and Kourtney score (Applause). Kevin, "Great Faces, Great Places" refers to the state with a monument containing many big faces (Kevin shakes his head as he realizes the answer), the state of SOUTH DAKOTA. $150 more for Kourtney and Lenny as we go to CLOTHING.
Many articles of clothing are named for the men who invented or popularized them. I'll describe three such articles of clothing and the man's nationality. Pick one and name it. Look at the screen.
A. French: A gymnast's form-fitting garment.
B. Welsh: An open-front, button-up sweater.
C. Scottish: A coat made of rubberized fabric.
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Kourtney, Lenny.
ME: Kevin?

The gymnast's form-fitting garment is a leotard.

no answer

(BUZZ! Audience groans)
ME: Tough break; it was a MACKINTOSH. That's actually the first wrong answer he has given all game. That opens up the door for Kevin and Kourtney a little, as they score $150 each (Applause). Let's check the scores.
KEVIN: $1,175
KOURTNEY: $950
LENNY: $1,775
ME: Closes the gap a little. Moving on to U.S. HISTORY.
Although we identify Native Americans with the Wild West, many Native Americans actually have their homelands in the East. I'll name three Native American tribes. Pick one and tell me if their traditional homeland is EAST or WEST of the Mississippi River. Look at the screen.
A. Mohawk
B. Comanche
C. Ute
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kourtney, Lenny, Kevin.

Going to guess... West?

Post by jmdarrall on Mar 16, 2017 20:38:37 GMT -5
ME: Good guess. That's right, and everyone gets $100 (Applause). Kevin paid attention backstage. Our contestant coordinator tells everyone to guess if it's a 50-50 type question. Let's try another one on POLITICS.
No matter what your opinions are, you are bound to find a political commentator on the airwaves with whom you would agree. I'll name three popular current political commentators. Pick one and tell me if he or she leans LIBERAL or CONSERVATIVE. Look at the screen.
A. Rush Limbaugh
B. Rachel Maddow
C. Thom Hartmann
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Lenny, Kevin, Kourtney.
ME: Lenny?
