Well, Tony has decided to take Monday off. So, we've got a special, celebrity holiday episode of Card Sharks. I will be hosting, and Tony will assist me with designs (effectively editing his graphics in place of my "code" graphics). Our two celebs will be playing for not only their favorite charities, but also for a lucky studio audience member. Plus, we'll pick another audience member in the Money Cards for extra holiday cash!
So, who wants to play?

Just to let you know, Josh... this is a CELEBRITY edition of Card Sharks. If you host a game show, we'll let you in. If you don't host a game show, we cannot allow you in. |

Last I checked, Allington does not host anything here as of yet so I cannot allow him to play this episode. However, I will play as I host Wheel, PYL and High Rollers

The highest is an ace,
the lowest is a 2.
Do I wanna play this game?
You bet I do.

Thank you, Johnny. Thank you all very much, welcome to Celebrity Card Sharks. No, there's nothing wrong with your TV, I am Greg Palmer. Tony's decided to take the day off, so I thought I'd host this very special episode. We've got two of your favorite hosts competing for not only their favorite charities, but also for some lucky members of our studio audience. Audience: OOOOOH!Greg: Now, I can do this because the original man who came up with this line is dead. (I clear my throat) Nice to see you, to see you.... (audience leaves me hanging) Greg: Oh, so it's going to be that kind of a show, huh? Let's try this again. Nice to see you, to see you.... (I very suggestively gesture to the audience, Johnny holds up a cue card) Audience: NICE!Greg: That's better. Now, of course, we need a pair for openers, so here are our two dealers! From Dynasty, Elizabeth Gillies and Nathalie Kelley! (Liz and Nat come out to cheers and applause) Greg: Helloooooooooooooooooo, ladies. Looking good. Liz: Thanks, Greg.
Nat: Now, you be careful, or else you'll be the next to go.
Greg: Oh, you're right. A man must be careful with what he says around women, or anyone, these days. Ha ha ha ha ha! So, how do you like the show? Liz: What, Dynasty? It's great. It's so much fun to be a b---Greg: We're rated TV-G. Liz: Bad girl.Greg: I bet it is. Now, you two play stepmother and stepdaughter on the show, but Nat, you're only 8 years older than Liz. Nat: Age is only a number. I'm more mature.
Liz: I can still beat you in a catfight. Mreow! (she "shows her claws") Greg: Now now, there will be no catfighting on this network. You save that for The CW. Now, let's open up the board and get to the cards! [MAIN THEME, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And while the Carrington ladies are setting things up, let's meet today's Celebrity Card Sharks. [BOTH CONTESTANT RUN TO THEIR PODIUMS, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]From Wheel of Fortune, Mark Liotta! And from On a Roll, Doug Morris! (audience cheers) Before we go any further, Doug wrote the opening poem, and when he goes home to the Pine Belt of Mississippi, he watches Card Sharks on WHLT 22.1, WLOX 13.2, and WMDN 24.1. Remind me to bring that up. But first, let's say hi to Mark. Hiya, Mark. Please tell us about your shows, any projects you have coming up, and your charity. |

I currently host Wheel and Press Your Luck in syndication as well as High Rollers here on this very network. I also have a syndicated version of The Joker's Wild in the works. I will be playing for Autism Speaks today

That's a fine charity. But going back to an earlier point.... So you're going to go up against Snoop Dogg? I commend you, sir! His version of The Joker's Wild is the biggest piece of "insert Pyramid cuckoo here" I've ever seen in my life. Have you seen the one with Mr. Dogg, by the way?

I have not seen his version, so I can't give an opinion. I do know that my version will likely follow the classic format of the show.

Well good. Glad to hear it. Good luck to you today.
Now, we have Doug Morris with us. Like I said, you have three CBS affiliates in the Pine Belt. What's all this about 22.1, 13.2, and 24.1?

(audience chuckles)
Well now. OK, then. But really, it's probably a long and complicated story that might bore a lot of people who aren't into the TV biz. Oh, that reminds me... bring out the T-shirt, please. (a production staff member, Erin, brings out the Card Sharks T-shirt). Doug, you submitted this opening poem. Unfortunately, we can't give you the $500 cash prize that goes with it since you work for Mark Goodson, but you do get this Card Sharks T-shirt that Erin Perry is going to give you. (audience cheers) By the way, Erin, how am I doing compared to your old man?
Erin: Is this answer going to be contingent on whether I get a raise?
Greg: That's Jennifer's call, not mine.
Erin: Then I think you're doing.... okay.
Greg: Thank you. Erin Perry, everyone! (audience cheers as Erin waves and goes back to the production desk) Now, Doug, what is the tl;dr on TV reception in the Pine Belt, how are things going on On a Roll, and most importantly, which charity are you playing for?

Oh the TV reception's fine. Even better, it's all in color. Things are going wonderful with the daytime version of "On A Roll". We just finished Big Money Week -- but we still are giving away loads of cash and fantastic prizes with our rebooted Lucky 7 game and the new Big 6 game. As for the charity I'm playing for, I'd like my money to go to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Sadly, domestic violence does ramp up a bit during the holidays. So every penny I win is going to fund their fantastic projects. |

Fantastic. But that's not all! You're each also going to be playing for a random member of our studio audience! Whatever you win, they win! (audience cheers as Liz wheels out the giant fishbowl) Inside the fishbowl, we have names of people in our studio audience 16 years and up who entered for a chance to win. So, each of you please pick out a name, starting with Doug.... (Doug pulls out a name) and Mark.... (Mark pulls out a name). Now, let's see who you are playing for. Doug, we start with you.
(Doug opens his card) Doug: And the winner is.... Merritt Quigg!
Greg: Merritt Quigg! (audience cheers as Merritt stands up) And Mark? (Mark opens his card)
Mark: Abdul Giles.
Greg: Stand up, Abdul! (audience cheers as Abdul stands up, then sits back down) OK, then. You've both cut the cards, right?

Erin: (off-camera) I was there, he did.Greg: Right. Then let's get on with the game. As you know, the object of the game is to make your way across the board by predicting whether the next card is higher or lower in rank than the one preceding it. You may freeze any time you wish because if you make an incorrect prediction, all your progress to that point is erased and you start at your base card again. Each game is worth $500 to your audience "partner" and $5,000 to your charity. First to win two out of three gets to play the Money Cards for a lot of money and possibly a new car. And now, I've got a special announcement. We've hidden some prizes and surprises up on that board, and since it's the holidays and it's for charity, they're pretty big. We've got $10,000 cash..... (audience cheers) $25,000 in cash..... (audience cheers louder) and a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro convertible! (audience is ecstatic) And we'll deal with those as they come up. But of course, you can't get to all those big prizes and such until you answer a toss-up question, and here to bring them out is G2-T2! (audience cheers as G2-T2 comes out on stage) We've got surveys based on 100 people, surveys based on 10 people, and Educated Guess questions. All sorts of good stuff. Now, here's the first question to Mark... (I pull it out) and it involves 10 media personalities fired for sexual harassment! [AUDIENCE BOOS THEM AS THEY COME UP] And ladies and gentlemen, we have managed to do the impossible. We have people from three different networks on the same stage! Now, before the show, we asked these 10 people.... Will you use your severance pay to get therapy?How many of these 10 will use their severance pay to obtain therapy?

Post by GameShowNetwork on Dec 14, 2017 22:40:34 GMT -5
I think 7 of them would

Why 7? Please explain.

Well if they were accused, then they would need to undergo therapy to help change their behavior

[DING]Mark says 7 of these 10 will use their severance pay to obtain therapy. Doug, higher or lower?
|

|
|
Post by dougmorrisontheair on Dec 14, 2017 23:13:57 GMT -5
Well, their careers are, to use a Chevy Chase term, still dead. (scattered laughter) So, since there's no way they'd be back on the air and they have problems in their lives to fix, I'm going higher.

Post by palmer7 on Dec 14, 2017 23:47:45 GMT -5
[DING]If it is indeed higher, Doug plays his cards. If not, Mark does. The actual number of these 10 dirty old men who will use their severance pay to get therapy is.... [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]5, it's lower. Mark has control of the cards. OK, so which five of you are not getting therapy? (Matt Lauer raises his hand, along with four others) Matt Lauer! I should've known, you ba--- Liz: (in a taunting, sing-song way) We're rated TV-G.....Greg: ...bad person! You deplorable! (Matt scoffs at this) Why aren't you getting help? Matt: I've already apologized, my career is over. What more do you want from me?!Greg: A lot of things, but we have a show to do so I can't list them all. And Charlie Rose..... I respected you. Charlie: Thank you.Greg: Thank you, gentlemen. You may be seated. (I walk to the board as the 10 sit down in the audience) Well, Mark, here's your base card..... (I turn it over) [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]Trip to Switzerland! That is a trip for two to Switzerland! Mark, should you win this game, your audience partner would get that trip, and Autism Speaks will get the cash value. Liz will place that in the prize column, and I will get another card. (I do so) And here's your actual base card..... (I turn it over) A three! (audience cheers) Mark, I've got a stupid question for you. Would you like to keep it or change it?

Good idea. Higher than the three.... (I turn over the next card) [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]CA-MA-RO! Nat's going to put that in the Prize Column.... (she does so) And I'm going to put a new card up here and ask you "Higher or Lower?". |

Higher please

Post by palmer7 on Dec 15, 2017 10:47:59 GMT -5
Higher than the three..... (I turn the next card over) [DING, APPLAUSE]Oooh, a seven. Middle card. Now, you can freeze if you like, but I should say that if you run the board in one go, we'll give your charity a bonus $10,000 and your audience partner a bonus $10,000 in cash. Of course, if Doug sees his base card or you freeze, the offer's off the table. With that being said, freeze or play? (audience shouts suggestions) |
