There's a switcheroo in the host this April Fool's Day, so I'll be hosting Gambit. Tony will still be providing graphics.
Sam Ryan has a one-day total of $50,950 in cash and prizes. Who wants to challenge him?

A game of skill, fate, and fortune. And now, from Television City in Hollywood... sitting in for Tony Lane-- Greg Palmer![CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Greg: Thanks, Cramer. Welcome to Gambit, the game of blackjack with a brain; where the right combination of cards could score you a fabulous array of cash and prizes, and even the top prize of $1 million. No, don't adjust your sets, there's nothing wrong with your picture. I am Greg Palmer, and I host a show on another network. I used to host TKO, but today, I'm here. And speaking of someone who's always here, please welcome our dealer, the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt! [WILD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Jennifer: Hi, Greg. Thanks, everyone. It's great to be here, and a happy late April Fools' Day to all of you. Let's meet our two players....[CONTESTANTS' INTRO]First, our challenger is from Eastern Lower Alabama. He's an Auburn fan. Please welcome James Greek! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And playing against James is our returning champion, whose one-day winnings total $50,950 in cash and prizes. A native of Wales who is also into video games, Sam Ryan![MORE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Greg: Thanks, Jen. We'll see you later on in the show. First off, James Greek. Hiya, James. Go ahead and give us the James Greek story. |

Pretty reasonable, I'd say. Good luck to you.
Next, we have Sam Ryan, who was involved in a real nailbiter when he faced off against Mikki last episode. He ended up with a 20 and won with it. Sam, what are you planning to do with your money?

Well, good luck to you, anyway. We're going to give you some time to think. We play a two-out-of-three match here on Gambit and we'll start with game #1 right after these messages. Don't go away. [CLOSING THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial*

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE](Contestant area here) Welcome back to Gambit. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 than your opponent, without going over 21. We don't deal in insurance, we don't let you double down, and nobody surrenders.... except maybe Jennifer between segments, heh-heh-heh. (Jennifer mouths to the camera "I don't think so.") Each correct answer is worth $100, and if you are closer to 21, or your rival busts, you win an additional $500 and the game. We play a best-of-three match. Let's take a closer look at the big money board on my lectern.  [CASH REGISTER RINGS]Whoever gets a combination of at least three cards for a total of 21 wins the Any 21 Jackpot of $3,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But... if you get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, that's a two-card combination, you'll win the Blackjack Bonus worth $15,000! (And please feel free to correct me in post.) [MORE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And before the start of the show, the lab rats at Tandem Technologies, a RANDOM.ORG company, have given our card dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed for her. The video is on our Facebook page. Right now, she's going to break the seal and reveal the first card as we begin game 1. Jen? 5 of Hearts
Jennifer: It's a five.Greg: Well, it looks like whoever gets this card isn't getting the Blackjack Bonus. Here's the first question. East, West, or South---- In which part of Philadelphia was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air born and raised?(You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100 and your answer.) |
