NEW ORLEANS STORIES

[marc412]

Let's do "All About Islam".

[jmdarrall]

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) You've chosen the Who, What, or Where question for this episode. There will be one on each episode from here on out (the pilot had one, too). Choose from these (BONG-BONG-BONG!).

WHAT? for $400
WHERE? for $500

[jmdarrall]

Here's what we've got.

MARC ($1,700): WHERE? for $500
CLEMENT ($200): WHERE? for $500
MICHAEL ($1,900): WHO? for $300

Michael is the holdout again, and he will go first. Here's the question.

This 4-letter term denotes a leader of worship services at a Muslim mosque. In addition to providing religious guidance, this person can also serve as a community leader. What is the title for this person?

imam

[jmdarrall]

We'll add $300. Nicely done. Marc and Clement, step up to the $500 challenge on WHERE?.

Besides Mecca, there is one other city in Saudi Arabia that is considered so sacred that non-Muslims cannot visit it. It is the city to where Mohammed fled in the Christian year 622 CE to begin his community of followers, and is the city where Mohammed is believed to be buried. For $500, name the city.

[jmdarrall]

(BUZZ! Order: Marc, Clement)

Close one, but Marc got in first.

[CCSCO]

(hitting the buzzer frenetically) Doesn't work! (laughter)

[marc412]

Medina.

[jmdarrall]

And Marc is right. We have Marc tied with our champ at $2,200 each, and Clement, hang in there, my friend. Marc, choose the next subject.

[marc412]

Delicacies from the Deep, please.

[jmdarrall]

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) All these questions pertain to seafood and seafood dishes. Choose from...(BONG-BONG-BONG!)

FISH for $300

Here's what you've declared.

MARC ($2,200): CRAB for $500
CLEMENT ($200): FISH for $300

Marc is the holdout this time, and he will go last. Clement and Michael, step up to the $300 challenge on FISH.

If you're eating Coho, Chinook, or Sockeye, what type of fish are you eating?

[jmdarrall]

(BUZZ! [11] Order: Michael [67], Clement [97])

Michael?

[Deleted]

salmon

[jmdarrall]

Right again. Clement, do me a favor, please. You seem unsure as to whether your buzzer is actually working. Could you please try it out?

(Clement does so...BUZZ!)

Thanks. Michael and Marc must be quick on the buzzers today. In any event, Marc, it's your turn with this $500 question.

This type of crab, primarily common on the West Coast, is named for a port town in Washington State. It is noted for its delicate, slightly sweet flavor, and it's a favorite in the seafood restaurants of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Name this type of crab.

[marc412]

Dungeness crab.

[jmdarrall]

Yum, yum! You got it! (Applause) With that, Marc takes the lead with $2,700, Michael close with $2,500, and Clement trailing with $200, but he can take second if we have a triple on this subject and Clement sweeps it. The subject is NEW ORLEANS STORIES (CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!). Many stories have been set in the Crescent City, and I'd like you to choose one of three mediums in which these stories have been told (BONG-BONG-BONG!).

ON STAGE for $300
ON TV for $400
ON FILM for $500

[jmdarrall]

Let's see what we chose.

MARC ($2,700): ON TV for $400
CLEMENT ($200): ON TV for $400
MICHAEL ($2,500): ON TV for $400

(WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP! Applause) What did I tell you?! A chance for Clement to come back into this game, or for Marc or Michael to expand their leads. Let's double the dollar values first!

ON STAGE for $600
ON TV for $800
ON FILM for $1,000

And now, it's time for everyone to step up to the $800 challenge. Good luck, as the winner of this one will get a chance to add $1,600 more.

This HBO drama chronicled the lives of New Orleanians struggling to revive the city after Hurricane Katrina. The show was so popular that viewing parties were common in the Big Easy. The title of the show takes its name from a troubled historic neighborhood adjacent to the French Quarter. Name the neighborhood, and you've named the show.

[jmdarrall]

(Clement doesn't go for the buzzer...BUZZ! [88] Order: Michael [16], Marc [7])

Michael?

[Deleted]

Treme

[jmdarrall]

That's right! (Applause) Now, you have a choice. You have $3,300 right now. You can protect that lead or expand it. You can take either or both of the remaining questions unopposed, but keep in mind that a miss costs you the money on that question and ends the subject. In this case, it will also end the round. So, here are your choices.

- Try ON STAGE for $600
- Try ON FILM for $1,000
- End the subject and round

What's your pleasure? (Audience makes suggestions)

[Deleted]

I'm going for both questions.  (audience cheers)  I'll start with On Stage for $600.

[jmdarrall]

Here's your first question.

The 1947 Pulitzer Prize-winning play features the streetcars of New Orleans. The play was written by an author whose first name is that of a Southern state. Give the first and last name of this author.

[Deleted]

Tennessee Williams

[jmdarrall]

Up to $3,900. (Applause) Want to try to make it $4,900 with the ON FILM question? Or, would you like to end the round?

[Deleted]

I'm going for the On Film question.

[jmdarrall]

You'll still be in the lead either way, so you're in good shape. Here's the question.

Filmed in New Orleans' Garden District was this 1978 movie directed by Louis Malle. It was critically acclaimed, but highly controversial due to its themes of child prostitution and a nude scene with a 12-year-old Brooke Shields. Name the movie.
