Michael has become our first champion, with a remarkable total of $36,000! I need him to check in for his second match.
I also need two new challengers for him. I do request that Kevin and Matt R. sit this one out, please.
Who's ready to step up to the challenge?

Marc, Clement, and Michael. Get ready in 3, 2, 1...
(Main theme plays as camera focuses on Michael's face)
Don Morrow: This is Michael. On our last show, he won a grand total of $36,000! He's now two steps away from our Ultimate Challenge, worth $100,000! (Applause) This is Marc, and this is Clement. Michael, you are the champion. Marc and Clement, you are...
THE CHALLENGERS!
And now, here's the Master of the Challenge...Jonathan Darrall! (Applause as I come out on stage)
Me: Thank you, Don! Welcome to our second episode of "The Challengers." What an exciting game we had yesterday. If you missed it, Michael came on strong in the end, totally sweeping the last category in the front game, then wagering all of his score on a tough question about jazz music. Because of that, he came out with $36,000 (audience cheers and applauds). Marc and Clement, you've got your work cut out for you, since he's a shrewd player. Remember, you will outbid and outmaneuver each other to rack up as much money as possible. We're going to start everybody off by depositing $500 into your special Capital One bank accounts (BONG!). Now, here are the six subjects we'll play in Round One. Turn your attention to the video wall, as Michael selects from...

Apparently, she doesn't strike your fancy enough for you to choose that right away. In any event, these questions pertain to the major sports leagues and the news and notes from them last week (CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!). Lock in your choices from...(BONG-BONG-BONG!)
NBA for $300 NFL for $400 NHL for $500

Everyone is locked in, and let's see the choices.
MARC ($500): NFL for $400 CLEMENT ($500): NBA for $300 MICHAEL ($500): NHL for $500
It looks like everyone will get his question unopposed. Clement, you'll go first. Here's your question on the NBA.
On Monday, November 24, one of the star players of the New York Knicks suffered a series of back spasms, making him unable to play his games for most of the week, and forcing him to "mellow" out. Name this veteran player.

That would be painful, much more than not finding the name of that poor sportsman.

No.

Post by jmdarrall on Nov 30, 2014 10:46:12 GMT -5
That's OK. I tried to give you a clue, when I said "mellow" out. It's the player nicknamed "Melo," CARMELO ANTHONY. We'll deduct $300, so you're at $200 for now. Marc, here's your $400 question on the NFL.
On Sunday, November 23, Odell Beckham, Jr. shocked football fans when he made an outstanding one-handed touchdown catch in his team's game against the Dallas Cowboys. For $400, name Beckham's team.

Right, and what a catch it was! You're up to $900. Michael, here's your $500 question on the NHL.
The NHL's all-time winningest goalie is off to a new team, after spending the last 21 years with the New Jersey Devils. On Friday, November 28, he began training with the St. Louis Blues. Which player am I talking about?

Correct! (Applause) You are off to an early lead with $1,000, while Marc has $900, and Clement has $200. It is still early, challengers, as Michael makes the next selection.

Here's what we have.
MARC ($900): TOPO GIGIO for $300 CLEMENT ($200): KERMIT THE FROG for $500 MICHAEL ($1,000): KERMIT THE FROG for $500
Marc, you're up first. This is for you and you alone.
Despite being a shy little puppet, Topo Gigio was a big star in his native Italy before becoming famous in the U.S. on "The Ed Sullivan Show." In fact, his name comes from the Italian word for the type of creature he is. Name that creature.

Indeed he is. Up to $1,200. Clement and Michael, step up to the $500 challenge (PM me a code. If you don't know, just PM "Pass," so you won't be penalized.) on KERMIT THE FROG.
From 1955 to his death in 1990, Jim Henson provided the voice and puppetry for America's best-loved amphibian. Since 1990, one of Henson's longtime assistants has taken over the role. His previous credits include Robbie Sinclair on "Dinosaurs" and Wembley Fraggle on "Fraggle Rock." Name this Muppeteer.

Right (Applause). Steve Whitmire is the name we needed. Michael's out in front with $1,500, Marc with $1,200, and Clement with $200. Clement, don't be discouraged, careful selection of categories can get you back in this game in a hurry. Michael has the choice of subjects.

Now she strikes your fancy, eh? (Laughter) Let's see what we can learn about her (CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!). Choose from one of these three periods in her life (BONG-BONG-BONG!).

Here are the choices.
MARC ($1,200): AFTER HER WEDDING for $500 CLEMENT ($200): AFTER HER WEDDING for $500 MICHAEL ($1,500): DURING HER WEDDING for $400
Michael is the holdout, and he will go first. Ready, Michael?
When Kate Middleton married in 2011, she and Prince William were bestowed with new titles. They are now the Duke and Duchess of...where?

Correct. We'll add $400. Marc and Clement, step up to the $500 challenge, and it's a fill-in-the-blank question.
On September 8, 2014, the Clarence House announced that Kate Middleton was expecting her second child. When he or she is born, the child will become ______ in line for the British throne, according to the royal order of succession.
