All deadlines are 48 hours and here we go.
(1972 Joker's Wild theme plays)
Rich:From Television City in Hollywood, it's the return of the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen, it's The Joker's Wild! And here's your host, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause)
Me: Thank you very much, Rich. (Theme fades out) Yes folks, it's great to have a classic show like Joker's Wild back on the air and I'm honored to be in charge of this terrific show. We've got two great contestants vying to win some big money and prizes today so let's find out who they are right now.
Rich: Our first contestant is a college student from Massachusetts, please welcome Frank Sartori! And our second player is a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, Iowa, please welcome Matt Riggenberg!
Me: Frankie and Matt, it's a pleasure to have you with us for our first show. Frankie, please tell the folks at home a little about yourself.

Great to be here Mark. I am 23 years old from the great state of Massachusetts. I am a full-time college studying early childhood education, plus I work part-time as a babysitter. In my spare time, I like to shop for retro video games, hang out with friends and host net game versions of some of my favorite game shows.

Ah, very nice to hear. Best of luck to both of you as we begin our game. We play a best two out of three match here on Joker's Wild, so the first one of you to reach $1,000 wins the round. First to win two rounds moves on to try their hand at beating the Devil in our bonus round. Okay, with that said, let's take a look at the categories we will be using today. We have: Literature, Television, Video Games, World Currency and finally, Who's That Pokemon?. As this is our first show, we do not have a champion or challenger today so we flipped a coin backstage to decide who would spin first, and that flip was won by Frankie. So Frank, spin the reels for us and we'll get started.

World Currency

For $100, here's your question in World Currency. In order to protect their currency from counterfeiters, in the 12th century, China became the world's first country to do what?

(I turn to the judges table, where I'm given a thumbs up. I then turn back to Matt) I'm being told that we can accept that answer, so that's your first $100 of the game. (ding) Frankie, your turn to spin.

Who's That Pokemon?, Who's That Pokemon?, Who's That Pokemon?. Look at that folks, a natural triple! Matt, you can grab $400 and the lead if you know a little something about the world of Pokemon. Here comes your question right now, sir. Which Pokemon accompanies Team Rocket's Jessie and James with their evil plans?
