Lenny Jackson has $47,417 in prizes. Now, the game may be slower than usual because I am attempting to get an actual job IRL and working on Mechanical Turks on the side.
Who wants to challenge him?

(pre-opening sequence, in the Green Room, Greg and Burton are taking a break) Greg: I tell you, Burton, I can't keep a female co-host, besides Stacey, to save my life. They're either all too stupid, too obnoxious, or too expensive. Burton: Well, you're no picnic, either. (Greg gives him a dirty look) Greg: Coming from a guy who works with Steve Harvey. Burton: Barely. (he takes a sip of his coffee) You know, I bet I could do it. After all, didn't Jay Stewart pinch hit on occasion?Greg: Yeah, yeah he did. OK, Burton, you're on. You'll be my co-host for a night..... but now to find an announcer.... (At that point, John Cramer walks in. The two men eye him, and then buddy him up.)
(drumroll) (shot of Lenny Jackson) John Cramer: (VO) So far, Lenny Jackson has won prizes totaling.....[OPENING THEME]
Tonight, one of our contestants could win a human-powered car, diamond earrings, or a wine tour around the world!
And continue a journey towards a fortune in cash and prizes including this Aston Martin DB11 V8......
And thousands of dollars in cash! In total, over.....
--on.....
(echo) And now, here's the star of our show..... GREG PALMER!(wild cheers and applause as the doors open and I run to my lectern)Greg: Thank you very much, John Cramer. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it's Tuesday here on $ale. So glad you could join us. Now, we'll meet our special co-host later. First, let's welcome back a fine champion. Lenny Jackson! (audience cheers) Lenny, you picked up quite a bit on your last show. No cash to speak of, but you do have that kitchen. And you know, a thought just came to mind, if you hadn't bought that exercise and grocery package, you would've played for the Aston Martin. Could you use a car like that? |

I'm sure it would be. All you need is some cash to pay the taxes on it. So, how are your family and friends taking all this?

Fair enough. Good luck to you tonight. Here to introduce the challengers is a man beyond men. The Hawk to my Spenser, your friend and his, Soul Brotha Numba 85, Burton Richardson! (Burton walks out to cheers and applause) Burton: Did you just compare me to Avery Brooks?Greg: It was either him, or Rochester. And sitting in for Burton at the booth is Mr. Twenty One himself, John Cramer! (audience cheers as he waves) Greg: Now, we tried putting Burton in a dress, but he's too flat-chested. (scattered laughter) Burton: Besides, I haven't shaved my legs in 60-plus years. (audience and I chuckle) Greg: Good for you, Burton. That's real machismo of ya. Now, who are our challengers tonight? (As Burton introduces the contestants, models of the opposite gender escort them to their seats)Burton: Well, Greg, first off, we have an accountant who enjoys reading, writing, and going to the gym. From Long Island, New York, here's Kevin Kolsen! And he's an unemployed person from East L.A. That's East Lower Alabama. Please welcome James Greek! (cheers and applause) Greg: Thank you. Now, let's meet our players. James, you're from East Lower Alabama. I like that. When'd you start calling it East L.A.? |

Sounds like a plot from Days of Our Lives. How long did the engagement last, and why'd they break it off?

OK, we'll leave it at that. Good luck to you.
Kevin Kolsen. Hiya, Kevin. Interesting list of hobbies you have here. Reading, writing, and going to the gym. Have you read any of Robert B. Parker's books? I haven't.

Shakespeare classic, but I've had a soft spot for other playwrights such as Shaw. I enjoyed reading them back in high school and college.

[INSTANT BARGAIN]Instant Bargain time. Player in the lead can buy bargain merchandise. James, that's you, with a $5 lead. Here's Burton. (there's an empty spot) Wait, where's my co-host? (And Burton comes riding in on this prize, wearing a helmet)(audience.... reacts) Burton: Sorry to scare you like that. I was just testing out this new one-wheeled self-balancing scooter. It's designed by Ryno Motors and inspired by the sleek lines of the modern-day motorcycle. It maintains perfect balance front to back using gyroscopic sensors yet steers like a bicycle left/right. Leaning forward results in steady acceleration to a maximum 10 mph without jolting, while leaning backward brings the cycle to a slow, steady stop. (he demonstrates) Its 2,000-watt electric motor propels a rider weighing up to 260 lbs. for two hours from a three-hour charge of its rechargeable battery. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer. Now, it's normally priced at....But tonight.... who's in the lead?Greg: James.

Well Greg, I don't even know how to ride a bike and I don't think I can steady myself on it. But that seems interesting

Well, it's self-balancing, so I think you can steady yourself. Would you be interested if I threw in $1,000 cash?
