I have decided to begin the syndicated television debut of "Split Second". It will be based on the 1986 version hosted by the late, great Monty Hall. The rules are the same, but the cash amount is entirely different. I'll explain about the amount later during the start of the pilot. I'm looking for three contestants.  Good luck to the three participants and be on standby... |

The correct answer was PURPLE. Right now, Brian will introduce to us our three contestants. [CONTESTANTS' INTRO]Brian: Contestant #1 is a high school student.

And to the folks at home, please feel free to play along with us. I'll be asking a question with the three possible clues that you see on my monitor. But our three contestants will be giving us only one answer in each clue. If all three of you give me a correct answer, you'll each earn $25. If the two of you give me a correct answer, you'll each get $50. But... if one person comes up with the correct answer, that player be awarded $100. Good luck to all three of you. Here comes the first clue as we begin round 1. They say "Silence is Golden".

And you're right as well, James. Racer X does actually speak. Since all three of you have answered correctly, we'll give each of you the $25. [APPLAUSE]What a great start in our first round. Let's turn our attention now to the next question. Everybody loves a mystery. See if you can solve the following.

Poe is correct. Jonathan...?

Christie is also right. All three players have each gotten the correct answer, so we'll give 'em another 25 bucks each. [APPLAUSE]Nations during World War II were identified as either Axis or Ally forces.
Identify which of the following countries were either Axis or Ally forces.Germany, Great Britain, Italy. |

I'll take a guess and say Germany was an axis.

And, once again, all three of them are right. They all get 25 bucks apiece... [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Let's see if these three players go 4 for 4 on this next question. Spanish is often a very colorful sounding language.
Translate the following Spanish colors into their English counterparts.Amarillo, Azul, Verde. |
