All right, the voting is over. We're tabulating the results, and in the next few days, we'll be picking people at random to present awards. In the meantime, feel free to enjoy the before-party.

(This is sort of a 'Stay Tuned' thing.)
(Fade in outside the entrance)
(I try to walk in, but stopped by a guard looking down at me)
Guard: Hey, aren't you a little short to be a game show host?
Sam: More like the youngest of the staff of Llay TV Productions, I suggest you watch some of our shows. (I hand him a business style card)
Guard: Well, it's a honour, you must've been nominated once, for this awards show?
Sam: Of course, now if you excuse me, I better get a seat... (I noticed an ABC camera heading towards me) Hey, stay tuned why don't you? Don't miss it!
(Fade to black)

(Fade in, as I walk around the venue)
Net Game Central, or NGC to be short, is a big community for big Game Show lovers around the U.S. and the rest of the world to show their love by hosting Netgames, a forum-based version of game shows.
At first, it was created as an alternate forum from BigJonPCGames forum that has gone down since around three years ago. And after three years, it has proved that the love of game shows are nostalgic. With over 110 users playing and hosting over 50 game show titles, totaling over 750 episodes, NGC has given over $15 million in digital cash and has created millions of wonderful moments.
And tonight, we'll be celebrating the love of game shows and the best times we've had of NGC in the 2017 Net Game Awards, live on ABC, but first, go grab some short news and we'll be right back. Oh, don't forget your popcorns and soft drinks, it's starting really soon!

Already, we have something to celebrate. We're on ABC tonight. The Daytime Emmys -- were not. (audience laughs and applauds) I can see the executive producer with a legal pad in one hand and pen in the other. How the heck do we get back on network TV?!?! (more laughter) One of the shows I host is Crag: The Numbers Game. (scattered cheers) Great. I'm assured of getting a paycheck. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Anyway, someone asked the other day how I would do as a player. Well -- the closest I've actually come to playing my own dice game -- is playing the regular Crag dice game app on my phone with a waitress. (scattered woos from the crowd) Now now -- simmer down. (more laughter from the crowd) So, anyway, I gave her the basic rules, let her look at the score grid, she was intrigued -- game on. Talk about beginner's luck. She beat me by 20 points. (audience laughs and applauds) One of the shows I got to guest host recently was Card Sharks. (scattered cheers) Hey now! Tony's assured of getting a check. (scattered laughter from the crowd) And -- again -- someone asked how I'd do at Card Sharks. Closest I ever came to that was playing card games -- in Las Vegas. (scattered cheers and woos) Just to give you an idea of how long ago it was and how well I did, I arrived in Vegas in a then, relatively new $13,000 car. I came home in a $54,000 bus! (audience laughs and applauds) And now, here's the man I'm honored to co-host this ceremony with. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Greg Palmer! (audience cheers) |

All right, thank you very much, Doug. Welcome to the 2017 NGAs. We're here in New York City, the nation's thyroid gland. (audience chuckles) The last time I was in New York City, I was on The Tonight Show. And let me tell you, Jimmy Fallon is everything he is on TV. Nice guy, really nice guy. Every time I said anything remotely funny, which was few and far between, he just laughed and laughed. Every joke he hears is the best one he's ever heard in his life. In the middle of the interview, when I talked about what I'd said in Washington, he got bored and balanced a pencil on top of his nose. Let's just say... Johnny Carson, he isn't.
Now, I gave that on the last episode of $ale, and..... hold onto your hats, folks, here comes the obligatory political tirade---- with a twist! Now, I said that the next time I'd come to New York, I'd give Stephen Colbert a piece of my mind. Well, let me tell you, folks, the S-O-B that hosts the 11:35 show on CBS is getting investigated by the FCC! (the Republicans and anti-Colbert fans in the audience cheer) And you know something else, you know what I'm tired of? I'm tired of people treating President Donald Trump like crap! The political process was completed, it was a success, and democracy won the day. I stayed up to watch the results, and it went far into the night. Finally, at about 2AM, the final results came in, and President Trump won. Suddenly, it was the end of the world. (imitating a Democrat) "Ohmigod, it's the apocalypse! We're doomed! Donald Trump is the president!" And now, he's the butt of a national joke among liberals. Let me tell you a few things about liberals. What the difference between a Liberal and the rear end of a horse? (pause) I don't know, either. What is foreplay for a Liberal? (pause) Thirty minutes of begging. (reaction from audience) Uh oh, we might have some kids watching. Thanks for that reminder. Kids, ask your parents what foreplay is. They can explain it at the same time they're explaining why Bill Clinton was impeached.
What's the difference between a dead skunk in the road and a dead Democrat in the road? (pause) Vultures will eat the skunk. See? It just goes on and on and on. You keep making up jokes about our 45th president, we'll just fire harder with stuff about you. And let me tell you, if anyone tries going off-script and bashing Trump when accepting or presenting their awards, like they have at so many other awards ceremonies, there will be hell to pay! I guarantee it! He's my president, he's your president, and he will be such until at least 2020! Deal with it!
(The Republicans give me a standing ovation)
Nobody better bash Number 45 tonight! (I let out a deep sigh) So, with that being said, everybody have a good time, I'm going to get off my political high-horse now. Here to present the first award is a rising star in our little group. Steven Anderson!

And now a poem about the Number 46......[CENSORED BEEP]Front Lawn [CENSORED BEEP] Pie [CENSORED BEEP] Richard Gere [CENSORED BEEP] Alvin and Jeanette [CENSORED BEEP] Shaving Foam [CENSORED BEEP] Four more than Billy Boy Ever got. (Laughs) Now that the technicalities are addressed there. I'd like to talk a few moments about Graphic Design. Any time you watch a television game show, there are an extensive group of folks who work with producers and creators to bring their ideas to life with eye-appealing set designs and decor. Tony Sabatino, Bente Christiansen, Ed Flesh are some of the greatest to ever work in that field. Here at the NGC, we don't have to necessarily build a set, wire it together, and hope it doesn't catch fire in the studio. However the same relevance and design is needed to bring life to an otherwise text-based program. To that end, here are the nominees for Best Graphics and Audiovisual Effects: V/O: Doug Morris! Crag the Numbers game graphic courtesy Trax Productions/CDM Enterprises V/O: Tony Lane! Gambit graphic courtesy Heatter/Quigley Productions,MGM Television V/O: Darion Daniel! The New Challengers graphic courtesy dick clark productions/Ron Greenberg Productions/Disney-ABC Distribution/Blackwood Company ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And the winner for Best Graphics and Audiovisual Effects is.......Little Big Shots with Steve Harvey! (Audience Boos) Too Soon? No...I'm just kidding with you , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,, The winner is..........DOUG MORRIS!!!(Doug come to stage as theme from "Crag The Numbers Game" plays, I hand off the statuette to Doug) |

Thank you, Steven. And thank you to the voters. Obviously, this proves I have better luck making graphics than I do at the blackjack tables in Vegas decades ago.
(scattered laughter from the crowd)
But seriously, making web graphics has been a hobby of mine for decades. Thanks to evolving technology, I've parlayed that into social networking images. Some are game-related. Recently, most have not.
Ultimately, I want to get better at this. And this award truly has provided the inspiration for that -- more than you'll ever know.
Thank you all.

Thank you Greg and everyone involved, and may I say that it is truly an honor to be a part of this fantastic special for the first time! Throughout the game show universe, we have had strange prizes from the Flokati Rug from the classic edition of Press Your Luck to every Zonk known to every dealer on Let's Make A Deal! And let's not forget the $10,000 Chinese Fish Bowl that was presented in the final episode of High Rollers with Alex Trebek! Although these strange prizes may not bring the excitement that an exotic trip or a brand new car will, they do however provide laughter and entertainment!
The nominees for Strangest Prize are.......................
the only one nominee and the winner of the Strangest Prize is The Ralph Lauren Deer Chandelier!!!
(huge applause)

(as Greg walks on stage, this clip plays) (clip courtesy of Grundy Television/20th Century Fox Television/NBC) [INSTANT BARGAIN]That sound means it's time for an Instant Bargain. The player in the lead can buy bargain merchandise, and we've got a Double $ale. Lenny and Sam are tied at $30. Only one of you can buy this, so when you hear the low $ale of the Century price, hit your buzzer, and this will be yours! Stacey: Look up as the next prize comes on down.... it's an exotic chandelier!["Match Play"] Stacey: Designed by Ralph Lauren, this handcrafted chandelier made of mule-deer antlers and crystal uses eight 25-watt bulbs, and will make a lovely addition to any home's decor. Furnished by Neiman Marcus. And when you include shipping, it's normally priced at...$10,750But is yours on $ale of the Century for only....$6(cheers and applause) Greg: Stacey! What have you done? Stacey: But it's a lovely chandelier.Greg: I'm sure it is, but now you've put us on Bob Barker's hitlist! (audience laughs) Animal rights activists are going to picket outside our show with signs that read "Buck Lives Matter". (audience laughs) We're going to have a word with the prize department about this. Um, gentlemen...... if you buy this, I'm going to throw in a $2,250 donation to the ASPCA in your name. Anyone interested in this? Greg: Well, we didn't sell it that time, but when we brought in Luke Evans as Gaston and $2,000 in cash, we finally sold that sucker! I tell you, nothing sells deer chandeliers like Luke Evans. (singing) "I use antlers in all of my decccccccccccoratingggggg...." (audience laughs) I'd like to thank Eric Mills, we borrowed him from The Price is Right, and we're finally crediting him. I'd also like to thank Luke Evans and The Walt Disney Company. Thank you all! (cheers and applause) Oh, and one more thing, each and every one of you is going home with one! (audience..... reacts) [Musical Performance by Toto later today] |

(cheers and applause as the crew quickly sets up for a musical performance) Now, we're up to a group made up of six very talented session musicians who had backed up artists like Boz Scaggs, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand and Jackson Browne. They decided to go on their own and hit the Top 40 a total of 10 times, including once at #1. However, we're not going to be playing "Africa" tonight. One of these two songs went to #10 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Toto! (cheers and applause) (I get out of the way as the band finishes setting up, I make my way to the backing vocalists section) (the band starts playing "Georgy Porgy")
Steve:
It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your love
I'm not the only one to hold you, I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
You're my only world
Just think how long I've known you, it's wrong for me to own you, lock and key
It's really not confusing, I'm just the young illusion, can't you see?
I'm not the only one to hold you, I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
You're my only world
Female Vocalist:
Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them cry
(as they play the instrumental break, we get shots of the band and of the audience enjoying this)

Georgy, yeah, Porgy
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them cry
(cheers and applause) (suddenly, David Paich plays the introduction on the piano, as the group transitions to "I Won't Hold You Back") Steve:
If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same,
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead
Steve/Band (including Greg):
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
(we get shots of the Radio City Music Hall orchestra, conducted by James Newton Howard)
Steve:
Now that I'm alone it gives me time
To think about the years that you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Steve/Band (including Greg):
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found (Steve: Listen to me baby)
You know I can't hold you back now (Steve: Ohhhhhh)
(as the instrumental break plays, we get shots of the orchestra, the band, and the audience)
Steve/Band (including Greg):
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now (Steve: Ohhhhhh)

Nice job fellas.
Well, in the business, we'd call this a turn. There are times our world of fun and games produces turns for the worse. Here to hopefully ease some pain -- and present the nominees for Most Painful Moment -- a nice warm welcome for Mr. Jon Darrall.

Post by jmdarrall on May 11, 2017 9:37:58 GMT -5
Thank you, Doug! It's an honor to be here this evening. Over the past year, we have seen some painful moments, not just in Net Games, but in the world around us, too. I just hope that, no matter who our leaders are, that we overcome whatever pain the world brings us. I suggest that we roll up our sleeves (I roll up the sleeves of my blazer and shirt), flex our muscles (I do so), and show what we are capable of (I show my forearms, on which I wrote in marker "1 + 20 = 21" and "You're Fired!"...laughter and cheers from those who get it)!
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, as a game show contestant myself, I know that a great game show is capable of producing emotional moments...whether it's the high of a big win, or the low of crashing and burning, like the great Billy Joel said "There ain't no in-betweens," at least when it comes to game shows. So, here are the nominees for the Most Painful Moment of 2016-2017.
(Clips of each loss play as I name them)
- The two-point loss in the Fast Money round of Family Feud (Bill Skinner)
- Kevin's Big Bank loss on Press Your Luck [Dayo Kayode]
- Bill's negative score on The New Challengers [Darion Daniel]
- Matt Ringgenberg missing 21 during the Gambit Board TWICE [Tony Lane]
- Michael Koontz losing over $80,000 in cash and merchandise on the final spin of High Stakes Press Your Luck Episode 2 [Bryan Law]
- Matt Ringgenberg's freezing on 15 "what would have happened" [Gambit PM, Bill McDee]
- James blowing an eight with two insurance markers [High Rollers IOB, Darion Daniel]
- 1st Fast Money on dealorjohnny's Family Feud [dealorjohnny]
- Kourtney Wilson Whammying out of Press Your Luck in the first round.
- Matt being stumped by a Bonus Round puzzle and missing out on a car.
- Double Double Troubles in Antonio's Big 6 Bonus Round of On A Roll (Doug Morris).
Wow, a lot of painful moments...hard to choose one, but the winner of this dubious award is...
(I open the envelope)
MICHAEL LOSING OVER 80 GRAND ON THE FINAL SPIN!
(Theme from "High Stakes PYL" plays as I step aside for Bryan and/or Michael to claim the trophy)
