$ALE OF THE CENTURY [NBC]: Episode 67

[koopakid17]

It was a fun ride. I can say I’ll enjoy everything I won.

[Deleted]

I'm going to enjoy that Amazon shopping spree I am going to spoil a lot of women by buying them clothes and shoes take that Vickie and Renita!

[palmer7]

Whoa! Sounds like something for Maury or Jerry. But now, Lenny Jackson is going to join me over at the Winners' Board. Come on, let's go!


(Let's Go Shopping! cue)
(cheers and applause as Lenny joins me at the doors, which open to reveal the showroom)


Well, congratulations, Lenny. That was another great match. You were blocked from the car, but still managed to pull out a win. Your thoughts, sir?

[redrangerdude]

Yeah, it was crazy.

[palmer7]

I'll say it was. Let's check out some of the prizes you could win. First off, these earrings for m'lady.


(Shannon shows off these earrings while in the spotlight)

Cramer: (VO) Lenny, impress your lady fair with these beautiful Etincelle de Cartier hoop earrings. They're made of 18-carat white gold, each set with 60 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.70 carats. This delicate collection exudes elegance and refined simplicity. Clean lines of paved diamonds create a look of timeless radiance - a pure, feminine style. Yours with a gift certificate from Société Cartier. And this prize is valued at...

(audience cheers as the lights come back on)


Greg: That's an excellent prize. Now, we've also got that $200,000 wine tour, and since you're a minor, you'll have to be accompanied by some people over the age of 21. And Kevin O'Leary has made a big decision out of the goodness of his heart. (Kevin joins the two of us)

Kevin: Yes, I have, Greg. Lenny, if by some chance you win this wine tour, I will personally act as a chaperone, 'cause I know a lot about wines. You will have a great time.

Greg: That's right. (I start corpsing) Kevin will be dead to the world, and Lenny will be alive in it.

Kevin: Um, excuse me, I can hold my wine. Thank you very much.

Greg: Too bad you weren't able to hold onto your hair. (audience chuckles)

Kevin: Your head isn't exactly a lion's mane either, mon frere.

Greg: Well excuse me for being at least 30 years younger. Now, here's something you'll really be able to enjoy, Lenny.

(in a video, Doug Morris and Tony Lane demonstrate this car as they drive down West Pico Blvd.)

Cramer: (VO) Lenny, you can really save on gas and help the environment with this prize. This hybrid vehicle is powered by electricity generated by human effort. Its on-board power generator transfers the mechanical energy produced by pulling its four two-handed rowing bars into 2,500 watts of electrical energy. The four bars are pulled by up to four operators who sit in pairs back-to-back, or all-forward seating as an option. Each pull replicates the firing cycle of a four-cylinder engine—the bars are geared to follow a timed sequence, eliminating the need for operators to synchronize their efforts. When operators become fatigued and need a rest, the stored electricity powers the engine to a maximum speed of 60 mph. It can also power portable electronics or serve as an uninterruptible power source. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer. And this prize is worth....

(audience cheers)


Greg: And those, of course, are the stars of The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour. I'm just the Center Square. Lenny, what do you think of those prizes so far?

[redrangerdude]

They're really nice.

[palmer7]

Well, maybe you'll win one of them. To the Winners' Board we go!

(it lowers, audience cheers)

Now, you didn't score over $100; so we've replaced the "Car" symbol with "$50,000". However, you can still win the cars and everything else by finding "WIN!", "THE!", "LOT!" in *that* exact order. And when I say everything else, that includes your Personal Cash Jackpot and this....

(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


Cramer: (VO) A cash bonus of one MILLION dollars!

(cheers and applause)


Greg: And wouldn't it be exciting if you won that? So, come on, let's go. Pick some numbers, please.

[redrangerdude]

12, 15, then 6

[palmer7]

Right. Is Burton back yet? Hey, Burton!

(Tony Barber walks up on stage instead)

Tony B.: He couldn't make it back, mate. He's at the police station getting back his car.

Greg: Oh, that's too bad. Hey, Tony, we just need somebody to turn over cards on the Winners' Board. I don't know where Ellen went, so would you like to do it?

Tony B.: Sure. What's the first pick?

Greg: #12.

(Tony flips #12)

(ding)
(audience groans)

Tony B.: "The". Is that bad?

Greg: Yes, Mr. Barber, it is. Lenny was supposed to find the "WIN!" card first, and then the "THE!". So, the Lot will not be won tonight. Next pick?

Lenny: 15.

Greg: #15, Tone. (Tony flips #15)

(ding)

Tony B.: Well, there's the "LOT!" Too bad you don't win it, Lenny. But don't worry, she'll be right.

Greg: That stands out like dog's balls, Tone. Again, if you'd found a "WIN!" card first, and then picked #12 and #15, you'd have won the Lot. Moving right along, your next pick was #6, I believe. (Lenny nods in agreement) #6.

(Tony flips #6)

(ding)

Tony B.: The Cartier earrings.

Greg: Which you might get with a Cartier gift certificate. That's worth over $15,000. Keep picking, you might get the $50,000 if you play your cards right.

[redrangerdude]

2,7, then 8

[palmer7]

And behind #2.... (Tony flips #2)

(fanfare)
(cheers and applause)

Tony B.: It's the Cartier package. Good onya!

Greg: Yes, indeed, and here's Cramer to tell you what you've won. John?

(Shannon shows off these earrings while in the spotlight)

Cramer: (VO) Congratulations, Lenny, these beautiful Etincelle de Cartier hoop earrings are now yours with a gift certificate from Société Cartier valued at...

(cheers and applause)

Greg: Now, Tony, where is everything else?

Tony B.: Let's see here.... (he starts flipping numbers after consulting a cue card so conveniently held up)

Tony B.: The two "WIN!"s were behind #9 and #11, and the Bugs Bunny was behind #1.

(fanfare)

Greg: Cockney rhyming slang, folks. Tony's originally from Lancashire, England. Anyway, Lenny, you did not win the Cash Jackpot, so we better build it up again. Right this way. (we walk over to the Ten-in-a-Row desk, Tony B. follows us) Um, Tone.... why are you following us?

Tony B.: Well, Greg, I'm getting up there. I haven't hosted a decent game show since 1993, and I miss it. So, I was wondering if I could ask the questions this time.

Greg: Tony.... I had no idea. How many of you want to see Tony Barber ask the questions? (Glenn and Ed cheer, while the American audience.... reacts) (under my breath) Light the applause sign! (cheers and applause) Good. Lenny, you do know who Tony is, right? Are you all right with him conducting the round this time?

[redrangerdude]

That's fine

[palmer7]

(audience cheers) Great! (Tony and I switch places) OK, Tony. You've seen how this works plenty of times. Break a leg. Tony Barber, everyone! (audience cheers as I exit and Tony lifts up the laptop lid)

Tony B.: All right. Now, Lenny, you know how this works by now. I ask you 10 questions. Right answer takes you up the ladder, wrong answer or pass drops you to the bottom. You'll have three seconds to answer each question. All the best to you, let's dim the lights. (the lights dim) Still got it.

(standby for questions in your inbox)

[palmer7]

Tony B.: Again, all the best. Your 10-in-a-Row starts.... now!

PERSONAL CASH JACKPOT:

Tony B.: Yep, the Man in Black got you there. Well, I don't know what to tell you, Lenny. Bad luck, I suppose.

(Greg walks back out on stage) Greg: Disappointing to see, but what can you do? Lenny, I'm afraid to say you've broken an old man's heart.

[redrangerdude]

Awwww, I'm sorry.

[palmer7]

Tony B.: No, she'll be apples, Greg and Lenny. It's alright, really. Sometimes, that's how things happen. Now, don't you have some sort of Home Viewer Contest?


Greg: Oh, that's right, I completely forgot! Everybody take out your $5 bills! (everyone does, including Tony B.) American $5s, not Australian $5s. The winning number this episode is:

7-0-5-0-8-0. So if you have a $5 bill that has a serial number that starts 7-0-5-0-8-0, then sign the bill in the margin of the bill, and go to NBC.com/sale or go to the NBC app. They'll tell you where to mail the bill. Include your name, complete address, and telephone number. We'll send you back a crisp $5 bill plus a check in the amount of your share of $1,000,000.

Anything you'd like to say before we update your total and sign off, Lenny?

[redrangerdude]

No. Not at all.

[palmer7]

Fair enough. Lenny, right now, you have a total of.....

$63,117 in cash and prizes. Again, the winning number is 7-0-5-0-8-0. Burton will be back tomorrow. Thanks to Tony Barber, Chadwick Boseman, Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, and Ellen DeGeneres for stopping in. Until tomorrow.....

Tony B.: Keep smiling and bye for now!

(After the show, in the break room, everybody's taking another break. Greg gets pulled to the side by "Chadwick".)

Greg: What's up, "Chadwick"? Great job today.

T'Challa: Well, I had to hold back a little. (he swallows some sort of energy shot, presumably from the heart-shaped herb) That American accent was hard to maintain. Now, which side of the Superhero Registration Act are you on?

Greg: Let me put it to you this way, Your Majesty. I voted for Donald Trump. I'm against regulation.

T'Challa: And yet, you're an Iron Man.

Greg: Stark may have given me the tech, but that doesn't mean I agree with him. So, are you and your posse headed back to Wakanda?

T'Challa: Yes. (the two shake hands) Feel free to visit sometime. We may surprise you.

Greg: I won't doubt that. Say hi to Steve for me. (the three exit, accompanied by bodyguards; suddenly, Greg's phone rings, he answers it) Hello?

Tony Stark: (VO, over phone) CashCard. We need to talk.

(cut to black)
