Greetings, all. Greg's having to go to Washington to testify in Congress (okay -- not really) and has graciously asked me to fill in.
Steven Anderson has thus far racked up $148,494 in cash and merchandise. As we welcome him aboard, who wants to challenge him?

(pre-opening, we find me in New York City, on the set of The Tonight Show)
Greg: Hello, everyone. This is Greg Palmer, and I'm on the set of The Tonight Show. We just wrapped up an episode. Boy, what a busy day I had. First, I was in Washington, where I testified as a character witness on President Trump's behalf. Then, I did some interviews with Fox News--- I'm finally a Fox News contributor!! -- and then I got on another plane just in time for a taping of The Tonight Show! Tonight, I'm taking over as temporary replacement host of "Wheel of Carpet Samples". Joining me will be Jeff Probst, Pink, Sia, and some duo named Stargate. Watch that tonight after your local news.
Tonight, it's my pleasure and privilege to introduce my substitute. You know him from Crag: The Numbers Game and The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour. He's a very good friend of mine, Doug Morris. I'll be back tomorrow night at the same time. Until then, keep smiling and bye for now! (I give the Dick Clark Salute, then I turn on the TV, which is showing the NBC ID, it fades into $ale)

Well, you could pick up more cash for sure. Perhaps you'll win another car. Along the way, you'll have to defeat two challengers. Here to introduce our challengers -- Stacey Wren.
(Stacey walks out from behind the Fame Game board to cheers and applause)
Doug: Helloooo, Stacey. Delight to meet you.
Stacey: Honored to meet you. I love Chain Reaction.
Doug: Thank you. Chain is on our sister network, USA, in the late afternoon. Who are our challengers this evening?
(As Stacey introduces the contestants, models of the opposite gender escort them to their seats)
Stacey: Well, first we have a man who's really great with numbers; let's welcome Kevin Kolsen.
Doug: Hello Kevin.
Stacey: And we also welcome a man who hopes to bring us the news one day; welcome Evan Hatfield.

That's a $20 bill for those of you in Rio Linda. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Time to start a series of toss-up questions. Chime in with the right answer -- and we'll pay you five more dollars. Buzz in with a wrong answer -- and we'll have to take five clams away and move on to the next question. Along the way, of course, instant bargains, fame games, the CA$HCARD and the exciting century round to the finish. A lot on the agenda -- with a chance to win the lot for the high scorer. So let's get started with these.
1. In fiction, it's the setting for the medical drama "The Night Shift". In real life, this Texas city is home to The Alamo and the five-time NBA champion Spurs. Name this city.
2. Complete this statement: Long before "Family Feud", his eponymous talk show and other projects, Steve Harvey hosted "Showtime at the..."
3. What rock legend won a Saturn Award for his work in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth"?
4. On the TV show "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", what was Maynard Krebs' middle initial?
5. Beginning with "I", Vice President Mike Pence was previously Governor of what state?

And we all know that sound. Time for an instant bargain. The leading player has a chance to buy bargain merchandise at insane discounts. Kevin, you're leading by $5. We have a special guest for this instant bargain. He couldn't be with us today. So -- through the miracle of video clips, we welcome a legendary broadcaster. (hockey theme plays)(clip rolls) Bob: Hi. I'm Bob Miller -- the retiring voice of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. In my 44 years with the organization, I've seen some exciting moments -- two Stanley Cup championships; the play of Rogi Vashon, Butch Goring and the Triple Crown line -- and much more.
(b-roll of highlights from previous seasons cover Bob)
More memories are waiting to be made. So that's why $ale of the Century is offering you season tickets to the 2017-2018 season of the Los Angeles Kings. Enjoy all the action with two tickets to every Kings home game.
(b-roll of highlights from Wayne Gretzky's days with L.A. cover Bob)
And to recognize Wayne Gretzky, the great one of hockey and certainly one of our best players of all time, $ale of the Century is ready to give you $1099 in cash to spend on souvenirs and concessions.
(back to one shot of Bob)
This is all normally valued at $1299. But today, this King-sized package can be yours for just...
....$6 from the Los Angeles Kings -- and $ale of the Century.
(audience cheers as clip ends; fade to one-shot of Doug) Thanks, Bob. I remember he, Vin Scully and Chick Hearn were interviewed for a sports show here in L.A. By then, the Dodgers won a world series and the Lakers, of course, many NBA championships. Bob was worried when he called it a career, the Kings would win it all. Thankfully, two Cups came in recent years. So -- Kevin -- exciting NHL hockey, lovely ice girls, souvenirs, the ice girls -- (scattered laughter) -- did I mention the ice girls? Doesn't that all sound like fun? |

Lot of flying you say. Well. We can help with that.
Bob mentioned on the clip the Kings won the Stanley Cup Final twice, right?
I'll throw in an extra $1000 cash for each time the Kings, as a team, got to hoist the cup. That's an additional $2000 cash. The bargain's actual value is now up to $3299. But all it costs you is six bucks.
(audience shouting suggestions on whether or not Kevin should by)
I've been looking forward to this part. Going once.
(more shouting)
Going twice...

How about we knock the price down to five bucks. You'd be in a tie with Evan. Going once... going twice...

2. What university, based in The Magnolia State, is Brett Favre's alma mater?

And there's the signal for the fame game for a possible $10 to someone's score. It's a chance for Kevin to pad his lead further -- or for Evan or Steven to narrow the gap. Now -- with me being the substitute quizmaster today, I convinced the scribes to bring back a little something something from the past for today's fame games. A six word puzzle that would lead to the identity of a famous person.
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
Doug: Words will pop in gradually. When you think you know who is the focus of this puzzle, signal and give us your best answer. Now, Stacey. Stacey: Yes? Doug: We're going to try a fame game just with you as an example. Stacey: Okay. Doug: Let 'er rip, fellers.

[_____OF______] [_____THE_____] [___CENTURY"__]
Doug: (shakes head) Sub quizmaster asked for it, didn't I? Well -- in her world, that's right -- as would be a few others. Here in ours, normally, Greg Palmer's the answer. Now -- let's start fresh.
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
And here comes the fame game for all three players.
[NOTE FROM DOUG: Rather that post clues one word at a time, we'll take the route that would be reserved for WoF 'round these parts. Players, please PM me a number between 1 and 6 clues that you would think you would need to correctly identify the famous person. Also, please PM a buzz code from 1-100 just in case more than one of you picks the same number of clues. Lowest clue bidder -- with a buzz code nearer/nearest to the number from random.org will "buzz in first".]
