$ALE OF THE CENTURY [NBC]: Episode 66

[palmer7]

Now, since you didn't win the Cash Jackpot this episode, it's time to build it up again at 10-in-a-Row. Right this way, please. (we walk over to the 10-in-a-Row desk, I lift up the laptop lid) 

You know how this works, Lenny. I ask you 10 questions, you have 3 seconds to answer each one. Each right answer works you up the money ladder, each wrong answer or pass takes you down to $0. Ready to go? (questions later today)

[redrangerdude]

I am ready!

[palmer7]

Then let's dim the lights! (the lights are dimmed) OK. Good luck to you. Your 10-in-a-Row starts.... now!

PERSONAL CASH JACKPOT:

Well, Lenny, you passed on three but you still managed to add $25,000 to your P-C-J, making it 575-grand. Was there any strategy involved?

[redrangerdude]

Not really. The first three were just hard.

[palmer7]

Oh, really? Let's just ask Sally if she knew some of these. Sally? (Sally enters) Now, Ms. Julian, how many of those first three did you know?


Sally: Well, the first and the third, I definitely knew, but not the second. I mean, God knows how many times I've had Eggs Benedict, and everybody knows about Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Greg: You're smarter than I gave you credit for.

Sally: And what's that supposed to mean?

Greg: Well, do you want to know the real reason why you only lasted 2 months?

Sally: Besides the fact I was very inarticulate, constantly stuttering, and relying on cue cards?

Greg: You mean you knew already?

(audience reacts)

Sally: Of course! I don't have to take any more of this abuse! I'm leaving! (and she walks out in a huff)

Greg: And come back when you can't stay longer. Sally Julian... I'm glad that's over. At least nobody can accuse me of anything like they did Matt Lauer. Lenny, you picked up a lot of stuff today. In the two nights you've been with us, you've picked up a total of...

$47,417 in prizes. Anything you want to say before we go?

[redrangerdude]

I can't wait to play again.

[palmer7]

And we can't wait to have you. Now, for the $5 Bill Contest, the winning number again is...

3-0-4-0-9-0. If you have a winning bill, send it in. Burton will tell you the rules as I say, keep smiling and bye for now!
