ME: Frank is right and gets another $300 (Applause)! John, BIG KAHUNA wasn't a bad guess, but the big, bad Big Show wouldn't take too kindly to that nickname (Laughter). Let me reveal the others. Randy Johnson was THE BIG UNIT and Kevin Garnett is THE BIG TICKET. Tough one, but let's move on to U.S. GEOGRAPHY.
There's only one place in the United States where four states meet at one point: The Four Corners. Assume that you are standing at that exact point and are facing one of the three directions you're about to see on screen. Pick a direction and tell me the STATE you would be looking at if you're facing that direction. Look at the screen.
A. Northeast
B. Southwest
C. Northwest
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, Frank.
ME: John?

ME: That's right, and give the man $300 (Applause)! Northeast would be COLORADO, and southwest would be ARIZONA. Let's check the scores.
MATT: $825
JOHN: $825
FRANK: $1,650
ME: As you can see, Frank has vaulted into the lead, but John and Matt remain tied in a distant second. Come on, you two, you can catch up and score singles. Let's try a question on CELEBRITIES.
Some celebrities are blessed to have famous fathers and mothers. I'll name three female celebrities. Pick one, and name her famous MOTHER. Look at the screen.
A. Gwyneth Paltrow
B. Alexa Ray Joel
C. Dakota Johnson
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Frank, John, Matt.
ME: Frank, take it away.

I'm guessing Alexa Ray Joel's mother is Christie Brinkley?

ME: All three right for $100 (Applause)! Let's keep it up with a question on FADS AND TRENDS.
In the 1980s, some celebrities popularized the "androgynous" look, in which men adopted feminine characteristics, and vice versa. I'll describe three celebs who embraced this look. Pick one and, without naming names, tell me if the person is MALE or FEMALE. Look at the screen.
A. Lead singer of the Eurythmics.
B. Lead singer of Culture Club.
C. Played May Day in "A View to a Kill."
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, Frank, John.
ME: Matt?

May Day was FEMALE.

(Apologies for the delay)
ME: All three right again for $100 (Applause)! Grace Jones was the one who played May Day. Here's one on TRANSPORT.
For many Americans, the ultimate status symbol is a high-class, high-performance sports car. I'll name three models of upscale European sports cars. Pick one and name its manufacturer. Look at the screen.
A. Aventador
B. Panamera
C. F-Type
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, Frank.

JOHN: I have no idea.
(BUZZ!)
ME: OK, Matt?
(Matt shakes his head...BUZZ!)
ME: Uh-oh...Frank, it's wide open!
FRANK: I don't know, either.
(BUZZZZ! Audience groans)
ME: A shutout! Oh, dear. I thought at least one of those would be gettable. Let's see, it's the LAMBORGHINI Aventador, the PORSCHE Panamera, and the JAGUAR F-Type. Guess those cars are called "dream cars" for a reason, huh? (Laughter) OK, last question of the round, and it's on BUSINESS.
Much of America's technology business is centered on the West Coast. I'll name three U.S.-based tech companies. Pick one and tell me if it is headquartered in the state of CALIFORNIA or the state of WASHINGTON. Look at the screen.
A. Amazon
B. Google
C. Microsoft
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Frank, Matt.
ME: John, chance to redeem yourself.
