$ale of the Century [NBC]: Episode 20

[jmdarrall]

Congratulations, Steven. Greg, even though I didn't get that trip, I still had a great time. Now, I have enough for my own game room.

[palmer7]

I'll say you do. Let's just add up the totals, shall we? You've got a Wii U bundle, a Pac-Man arcade machine, a TV, some silver, some cash counting what's in front of you, a total of...



$11,295


$11,295 in cash and prizes, plus our thanks for playing. You were a fine champion, and good luck back in South Carolina. Jon Darrall, everyone! (cheers and applause)


Well, Clément, you didn't win anything except the cash in front of you, but you did have a good time, right?

[CCSCO]

Yes I did, Greg.

[palmer7]

I'm so glad to hear it. We've got parting gifts for you and our thanks for playing. Clément, everyone.

But Steven Anderson wins tonight and is going to the $ale of the Century. Steven, let's go shopping!

(Steven gets up from his seat and joins me as the doors open and we walk inside)
(cheers and applause)


Very impressive, Steven. You did well towards the end, especially during the Century Round. What are your thoughts on this game?

[asja2002]

I got lucky on the buzzer, and usually that can be the balance in the game. I was happy to get the Jukebox at least.

[palmer7]

Yes, you did get that $5,600 jukebox in the Fame Game. That's yours to keep. You have $119 in your bank, and that's more than enough for a $5,000 shopping spree if you decide to say yes. As you know, all of our merchandise changes every five shows. So, if you come back on Monday and won with $56, you'd have enough for a Walt Disney World trip for 5 worth over $14,000. The next thing up the line after that would be 18-karat gold cufflinks....




followed by a boat....







and a restored 1984 Bosendorfer 7'4" Model 225 Grand Piano worth just short of $55,000.




We'll have not one, but two cars coming up in the next week. It'll be a pair of 2015 Acura RLXs. 






For $640, you get all the prizes, and get to $750, and we'll give you all the prizes plus the cash jackpot!



(1982-99 Cash Jackpot cue plays as the sign is lowered)


Charlie: (VO) Tonight's cash jackpot stands at....


$845,000


(cheers and applause)


Greg: You see, we decided to drop the $875 level and just absorb the $500,000 gold bonus into the cash jackpot. Of course, you don't mind, do you?

[asja2002]

I don't mind at all...

[palmer7]

I thank you, and Mr. Grundy thanks you too. Here's the thing though, that's all going to be next week. The $5,000 in cash will not be here next week. Instead, should you win all the prizes, it would include a leather baseball glove chair worth $6,200. So, the option is yours. Do you want to take the $5,000 in cash and leave us, or do you want to put your money in the bank with the Disney World trip being the next thing? We'll give you some time to think about it. Your decision after this break.

(fade in)
(drumroll)


Greg: Steven Anderson, in my hands, I have $5,000 in cash. You can take that money and leave, or put your money in the bank. You'd need $56 or more for that trip to Walt Disney World. Will you stay or will you go?

[asja2002]

That $5,000 in your hands is moving into the jackpot for Monday night anyway....I'll see you same time same channel, Greg! I'm coming back

[palmer7]

(we shake hands on it)

He's coming back, folks! (cheers and applause)


And you're right, we'll add $5,000 to the cash jackpot. That brings it up to $850,000. Steven, it's just before Thanksgiving, and it's the last show of this taping session, so we're going to have some dinner. Why don't you join us?


(The camera moves to a table filled with a Thanksgiving feast. Seated there are the models, Stacey, Summer, Mr. Devane, Jim, Tony, Glenn, and the other two contestants, plus two other guests) 


Oh, I invited two guests to join us. As you know, Thanksgiving is a time to meet with friends and to make friends out of enemies. I brought along someone whom I have shown disdain for. Here are Drew Carey and George Gray, from The Price is Right. (audience cheers as they acknowledge the audience) We just want to remind you as you start your holiday shopping that Thanksgiving is truly a time to give thanks and to cherish the friends and family that you have. I urge all of you at home to do that. We'll be back on Monday with two new challengers. Until then, keep smiling, God bless you all, and bye for now. (I give the Dick Clark salute)

(on a plane)

Flight Attendant:  Here's your soda & your peanuts.  It's on the house.

Sister Mary Theresa Francesca:  God bless you, child!

(Sister removes her hood & prosthetic makeup to reveal...)

Me:  Ha ha ha!  Suckers!  I did a lot better as an audience member than as a contestant.  Time to put some chicken noodle soup into this tureen, but first I gotta write my complaint letter to Greg about bashing Scooby Doo.
