Well, it looks like I've been called to the New Avengers Facility to meet the team. This could be fun. However, somebody's got to mind the store while I'm off training and who knows what else with Iron Man. That person is another Tony.... Tony Lane.
Lenny Jackson has $63,117 in cash and prizes. Who wants to challenge him?

(pre-opening) (Exterior shot of 20th Century Fox Studios. We move to a vacant soundstage, where Tony Stark [Robert Downey, Jr.] is briefing Greg.) Tony S.: You really didn't think I'd just leave you alone with your new toy, did you?Greg: Nope. But I wouldn't call it-- Tony S.: Uh-uh, me first. Now, before you go any further, you're coming with me to the Compound for lab tests, meet and greet, that sorta thing. Call it an orientation. Greg: (readjusting his posture) Fantastic. When do we leave? Tony S.: Now.Greg: Wait, now!??! I've got a show to do in 10 minutes. Unlike you, I actually have a job that requires work. Tony S.: Ah, balancing priorities. Something I'm terrible at. Look, that suit is coming back with me for adjustments. Whether you're in it or not is up to you.Greg: Oh, so you're going to play Indian giver on me, Stark? Tony S.: I'm not playing around. This is not your personal Uber. Only reason I get away with it is because, hey, I created it. Now, CashCard.... what's it gonna be?Greg: Ugh.....
(Minutes later, both Iron Men are flying over Los Angeles. We go inside Greg's suit.) Greg: Tuesday? Tuesday (voiced by Jennifer Hale): (VO) Yes, Mr. Palmer?Greg: Call Tony Lane, please. Tuesday: Right away. (we see action inside the HUD, the phone rings) Tony Lane: (VO, voicemail message) Hi, this is Tony Lane, host of Card Sharks, On a Roll: After Dark, and many others. I'm probably hosting or producing something, so please leave me your name, number and message, and I'll get back to you. Thanks.
Phone Voice: (VO) Record your message after the tone. When you are finished, hang up or press one for more options.
(beep) Greg: Hey, this is Greg. I'm flying over California and on my way to do some Avengers business with Tony Stark in New York. You know, billionaire, spiky hair, looks like Robert Downey, Jr. I was wondering, could you host $ale? I won't be able to make it. You know my name, look up the number. Thank you, I owe you. Bye. (Greg hangs up) (Inside Tony S.'s suit) Tony S.: I look like Robert Downey, Jr.? |

(drumroll)Don Morrow: So far, Lenny Jackson has won cash and prizes totaling...(audience oohs)(applause)[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) (cheers and applause)And now, here's the guest host of the show... TONY LANE!(wild cheers and applause as the doors open and I run to my lectern)Tony: Thank you, Don. Folks... do not adjust your set. This is not "Second Chance". (audience laughs)Since we're celebrating April Fool's Day, I'll be the guest host for one night only. Greg Palmer, Stacey Wren, and Burton Richardson will return on tomorrow's program. Speaking of which-- *dials Greg's phone number [no audio]* Hello... Greg. It's Tony. How are you doing on your vacation?

Greg: (VO, over enhanced audio software in HUD) My vacation? Mr. Lane, I assure you, this is not a vacation.
(unfortunately, guess who else is listening in?)
Tony S.: (VO, over enhanced audio software in HUD) This is official Avengers business. And who the hell are you?
Greg: Stark.... that's Tony Lane. He's guest hosting the show tonight.
Tony S.: Another game show host. Let me guess, you'll want him to be your Rhoades, right?
Greg: Rhoades?
Tony S.: My best friend, Colonel James Rhodes. I've seen this Tony before, and he fits the bill. At least he's black enough.
Greg: You know, that sounds racist.
Tony S.: Just saying. Now, Card Shark, you hold down the fort over there, and if you're lucky, maybe I'll let you try to pick up Thor's hammer.

Good luck to you, Lenny. Before we meet Lenny's challengers, let's meet our special guest co-hostess. You may remember her as one of "The Fly Girls" on Fox's urban contemporary sit-com "In Living Color". Not only that, she's also one of the three judges on the ABC contest program "Dancing with the Stars". Please give it up for the one and only... Carrie Ann Inaba! (introduction cue, cheers and applause)(wild cheers and applause)Welcome aboard, Carrie Ann. Carrie Ann: Thank you, Tony. It's a great pleasure being here. I haven't been this excited since I was the host of "1 vs. 100" on GSN. Tony: You're right... that was short lived. Carrie Ann: At least this longest running show in the history of daytime television is still alive. Let's meet tonight's contestants right now... (As Carrie Ann introduces the contestants, models of the opposite gender escort them to their seats)First, he's a game show and classic television fan, music lover and Netflix viewer. From the state of Alabama, meet James Greek. (cheers and applause)And he's a a cashier from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Meet Nels Snesrud. (more cheers and applause)Tony: Thanks, Carrie Anne. We'll see you later on today. First, let's meet James for a moment. Please tell us about yourself... |

Buzz-code answer: 51 1st: NELS (30) 2nd: JAMES (25) *** Lenny passes *** [BUZZ-IN]Nels...? Nels: Le Pere Noel Tony: You're right again, Nels.

(we find John Legend and Sara Bareilles, ahem, "rehearsing" on this prize)Carrie Ann: Nels, you can..... (she sees what's going on and is in utter shock) (bleep)! (John L. quickly gets up off the bed) As I was saying, Nels, you can get a great night's sleep on this king-size adjustable bed that lets each partner set their preferred firmness at the head/feet and lumbar region. The bed’s six comfort chambers spare couples from the perennial disagreement about mattress firmness and provides the unique capability to select different head/feet and lumbar settings on each side of the bed. The supportive chambers also help absorb impact so partners are less likely to detect each other’s movements. The air chambers are topped with 3" of cradling memory foam and 2" of cushioning latex, and the entire bed has a washable quilted cover for extra padding. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer.
And to go with that bed, we have these luxury sheets. They're made from the best-quality, long-staple organic cotton into fine yarns that are weaved into 300-thread-count lustrous fabric. An eight-step finishing process that includes buffing and heating the fabric makes the sheets extra soft and durable. A seven-inch hem lends the classic sheets a modern touch. Furnished by Boll & Branch. Plus, so you can buy your own blanket, or whatever else you may need, we're throwing in $1,000 cash. Altogether, it's normally priced at....
But tonight on $ale of the Century, it's yours for only.....

A total of $6,950 for just five dollars. All you have to do is press the button. You have 24 hours (no strike penalty). Going once...

(John L. walks back up on stage) John L.: Wait a minute! Wait a minute. Tony, I'mma let you finish, but there's something I gotta explain to the audience first. Now, what Carrie Ann shouted that got bleeped was my character's name in Jesus Christ Superstar - Live in Concert. Ya see, I'm Je--.
Tony B.: (VO, offcamera) Um, Mr. Legend, you're not allowed to use the Lord's name on this show.
John L.: Well, I'm the main character. I'm the son of God.
Tony B.: (VO, offcamera) As a practicing Catholic, I don't care.

FAME GAME QUESTION
I was born on May 14, 1969 in the Melbourne suburb of Ivanhoe. I have described myself as being "part extrovert, part wallflower" during childhood. I had a penchant for dressing in traditionally masculine clothing, and went through goth and punk phases during my teenage years, and shaved my head at one point. I attended primary school in Melbourne at Ivanhoe East Primary School; for my secondary education, attended Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School and then Methodist Ladies' College, where I explored my passion for the performing arts. My first major stage role was opposite Geoffrey Rush, in the 1992 David Mamet play Oleanna for the Sydney Theatre Company. That year, I was also cast as Clytemnestra in a production of Sophocles’ Electra. A couple of weeks after rehearsals, me playing the title role pulled out, and director Lindy Davies cast me in the role. My performance as Electra became one of my most acclaimed at NIDA. Already an acclaimed actress, I had received a host of new fans when I appeared in Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning blockbuster trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings", playing the role of Galadriel in all three films. The trilogy holds the record as the highest-grossing film trilogy of all time. In addition to "The Lord of the Rings", 2001 also saw myself diversify my portfolio with a range of roles in the dramas "Charlotte Gray" and "The Shipping News" and the American crime-comedy "Bandits", for which I earned a second Golden Globe and SAG Award nomination. In 2005, I won my first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the acclaimed portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator". This made me the first actress to garner an Academy Award for playing an Oscar-winning actress. Who am I?
