(holds card)

Pick Me

[asja2002]

Grover, Jon, Tony

[grapebuy789]

Grover: I am going to say Homer Simpson.

[jlastergolf]

How about a former teen singer. Cody Simpson

[tmann3x]

How about Detective Nordberg himself...? O.J. Simpson.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, there's three.

Homer Simpson from Grover, Cody Simpson from Jon and O.J. Simpson from Tony.

Steve, you may take any of their answers or discard them all and go out on your own.

[asja2002]

You know as much as I'd looove to go with a former weekend news anchor, Mama didn't raise no April Fool.

HOMER Simpson.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

I know which anchor you're talking about. But Homer Simpson is officially Steve's answer. Let's see if Homer wins our champ a lot of -- (annoyed grunt).

(scattered laughter)

First, let's reveal the $500 answer.

(ding)

O.J. -- that was Tony's answer. You're still looking for Homer. Is it our $1000 answer?

(dings; audience applause)

Yes it is! Congratulations.

What do you think is the top answer, audience?

(lot of folks scream "Bart"; a few say "Carole" for the heck of it)

Bart. Did Homer's son outrank him in the survey?

(ding)

Yes he did. Well, Homer's probably going to strangle him for that. Steve, as for you, another $1000 in your coffers and...

(ding)

...we seed our bank with $1000. Time for the Head-To-Head Match.

Steve, four of our stars have the number 20, four others a 30 and one has the elusive 50.

You'll choose a star, he'll reveal the randomly assigned number -- and that number will multiply the $1000 in the bank to determine the value of the Head-To-Head question.

So -- pick a star.

[grapebuy789]

Grover: I gave you $1,000 so please pick cute loveable Grover.

[asja2002]

GrGrover

[grapebuy789]

Grover: I Grover will not let you down sir!

[dougmorrisontheair]

The monster known for playing Super Grover plays a vital part in Super Match. Okay, Grover, give that tab a tug and let's see how much Head-To-Head's worth.

(ding) (audience cheers)

Thirty -- times $1000...

(ding)

...means this is a $30,000 question. Grover, Steve, remember, we must have an exact make to this question.

BLANK JOKE. That's J-O-K-E. BLANK JOKE.

(Super Match think music plays)

[Steve, please don't respond yet. Just marinate on an answer for now.

Grover, please PM Tony and me your answer.]

[grapebuy789]

Grover: Oh boy I hope he wins.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

A good luck wish and an answer from Grover. Steve, we now call for your answer for $30,000.

BLANK JOKE. 

[asja2002]

It's going to be one of two....PRACTICAL JOKE

[dougmorrisontheair]

GREG PALMER:  If you would like to be a contestant on the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour, send in a postcard to--

[dougmorrisontheair]

Thanks, Greg. Steve, a cloud was over our solar-powered calculator. Cloud's passed -- and we've added up your winnings on said calculator.

After just one show, you've racked up $41,250.

(audience cheers)

Now, before we play the telephone match, we need to find out who had the big five-oh.

Stars, on the count of three, give your tabs a tug. One -- two -- three.

(ding)

Gatorman!!! Joseph in the middle had the 50.

Now it's on to the telephone match. Who's on the line?

[Bryan]

Bryan from Columbus, MS sir!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Hi, Bryan from Columbus, Mississippi. I know exactly where that fine city is. A certain former leader? Not so much.

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

Less said the better. Bryan, just for being with us, you've already won $2500. Now you have a shot at winning $25,000 by going head-to-head -- with which of our nine stars?

[grapebuy789]

Grover: Oh please picky your cute furry little pal Grover!

[jlastergolf]

*coughs* or me

[Bryan]

Okay Grover!

[grapebuy789]

Grover: Oh you will not be disappointed sir.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Alrighty, Grover. Some drill as before. Write down your answer. Bryan, when he's done, we'll call for your answer.

Also as before, we're looking for an exact match to this query.

(think music plays)

[Bryan, please marinate on an answer; don't respond yet.

Grover, as before, please PM Tony and me your answer.]

[grapebuy789]

Grover: (inserts card into slot) I have a feeling that we may have another winner.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

I like the chances, too. Bryan, Grover's card's in the slot. We now call for your answer for $25,000.
