["Everyday" (Official Instrumental) by Marshmello & Logic]

Burton: (VO) It's a mobile blastmaster! Nels, this portable stereo system optimizes the 30 year-old concept of the portable audio player by blasting your music at backyard or tailgate parties. Providing over 2,000 watts of sonorous symphony with eight PA-quality Piezo horn tweeters, two "6x9" mid-range speakers, and a 12" dual-voice coil subwoofer with dedicated crossover, it plays music from any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or MP3 player from up to 30' away. Its CD player, AM/FM radio, USB port, and 3.5mm input provide additional play options, controlled with an included remote. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer. It's a prize worth... $4,000!

(audience... reacts)

Greg: That's a nice prize, Nels, and I'm sure you'll fit in perfectly in a music video on BET. Does BET still do music videos? I don't know. However, you could've taken $10,000. I think you're cool.... (audience continues to react) but I think you've started a riot amongst the audience. Now, audience, if you'd like to form a nice, orderly line, you can all let Nels have it during the break. We'll be right back.

(Greg helps corral the audience during the break)
(main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)

[palmer7]

(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)

And we're back. We finish up the game with the Speed Round. May I have 10 questions on the clock, please?

Anthony: $15
Nels: $65

[10]


(ding)

The scores, Anthony at $15, Lenny at $35, Nels up front at $65. Anthony, just as a reminder, if you do reach zero, Garagiola's Law still applies and everyone gets an additional $20. Good luck to everyone, as we begin the Speed Round..... NOW!

1. What is the name of the high school attended by Archie Andrews and his comic-book friends?
2. What poison is known for having the aroma of bitter almonds?
3. According to Jim Steinman, "There ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of" what?
4. Which US president lived in Montpelier?
5. How many white stripes are there on the American flag?
6. In what key is Johann Pachelbel's famous "Canon"?
7. What opera was commissioned to mark the opening of the Khedivial Opera House?
8. The Gila River flows into what river?
9. What is the real first name of rock star Prince?
10. By what common household name is sodium chloride better known?

(buzzcodes and answers, please)

[palmer7]

(We're going to need a replacement for Anthony. Let me know here and PM me your answers.)

[palmer7]

(still looking for a replacement for the DQed Anthony)

[tmann3x]

I'll give it a try, Greg.

[palmer7]

(OK, then PM me your answers)

[palmer7]

Wait a minute.... I've just been handed a piece of paper. Anthony, it seems you are under arrest. Therefore, you are disqualified. (and two officers carry him out)

And taking his spot at the last minute is one of the hosts of The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour, Tony Lane! (Tony rushes in and sits down) He will be playing for a yet-to-be-determined charity.

Good luck to you, as we begin the Speed Round.... NOW!

[WIN CUE]
[BGM MUSIC]


Nels, congratulations, you've gone over the $100 mark, so you could be driving out of here with the car even if you don't win the Lot. We'll get back to you in a moment.

Tony, you came in at the last minute, and we appreciate that. I think I should make out a check for $10,000 to your favorite charity. Who should I make that check out to?

[tmann3x]

I'm playing for the American Cancer Society.

[palmer7]

Ah yes. Cancer, it bites. Hashtag Trebek Strong. $10,000 will go to that worthy charity. Thanks so much. Tony Lane, everyone!

And Lenny, I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to pick anything up. We'll turn your $45 into $500 and we also have some nice parting gifts for you. Did you have a good time?

Yes I did

PERSONAL CASH JACKPOT:

Congrats, Nels! 10 out of 10! Your thoughts, sir?

[nelson17]

Im shaking right now

[palmer7]

Can we get a sedative for him? All right, settle down now, because you haven't won that money just yet. We still need to give you a chance to play the Winners' Board. Now, since you scored over $100, you'll have a chance to win this outright. We've already given one away this week, and here it is.

(Doug Morris, looking so fly, poses by this car)

Burton: (VO) Your eyes are not deceiving you, we are actually offering a brand-new, 1969-1970 Mach 1 Mustang. You won't be able to drive this car home, because it will be custom built for you! Your vehicle will be built to your specifications using the latest chassis and drivetrain technology paired with new Ford-licensed reproduction parts – giving you the opportunity to own and drive the most iconic muscle car ever built, updated to run and drive like a modern supercar. Furnished by Classic Recreations. And we'll make sure to give you enough money to customize it....

(cheers and applause)

Greg: Now, in order to win that car, you have to find the "WIN!" and then the "CAR" in that order. Now, this is very important. Should you can find "WIN!", "THE!", "LOT!" in *that* exact order, not necessarily the first three picked off the board, but in that *exact* order, you will win the Lot, which includes everything here in the showroom -- which includes the car -- your million-dollar Personal Cash Jackpot, and this!

(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)

Burton: (VO) A cash bonus of one MILLION dollars!

(cheers and applause)

Greg: Now, if you don't win the lot tonight, you'll still have a chance to win it on Friday.

So, good luck, Nels. Take a few deep breaths, get that concentration going, and pick a few numbers to get us started.

It provides five preset programs that include 15-minute energizing power naps, 20-minute vibration massage and aromatherapy sessions, 30-minute heated fitness sessions using built-in resistance bands, and a holistic weight management session. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer. It's a prize worth...

(audience cheers)


Greg: Now, before we get to your final total, what were the winning combos?

Stacey: We needed 15 for the car, and 3-6-8 or 7-6-8 would've won everything.

(fanfare)

Greg: Now, for the final tally.

You have a four-channel mixer, DJ headphones, $1,000 in classes from Creator Arcade, that massive Grammy package, $9,564 in cash, the Pac-Man game room, the portable stereo system, and the day spa. You have amassed quite a haul.

$71,900 in cash and prizes. (audience cheers) Any last words before we go?

[nelson17]

I'll won the lot next time

[palmer7]

Indeed you will. Nels will be back tomorrow to face off against the Fame Game board for the Lot. We'll see how well he does next time. Special thanks to Marshmello for showing up. Join us next time on $ale of the Century. Keep smiling, Keep America Great, and bye for now!
