We both came up with the idea, Sam. I agreed with you, didn't I?

Well, I'm Greg Palmer, I host three game shows. You may know me from $ale, and actually, we're on at 7:30 PM in a lot of markets. We're a network show, but some affiliates put us on at 2:30 or 10:30. There's that affiliate in Denver I'd like to get my hands on.
I also host The Price is Right in syndication and On a Roll on CBS, which is right before your show. My charity is the American Red Cross, an organization that desperately needs blood.

(Someone pokes me with a stick) Wait, what, where am I?? Oh right, the celebrity Sale thing. I'm Cameron Shields, I host Sale of the Century and Family Feud, and in my spare time I enjoy making and listening to all types of music, and I work at Bunnings' Warehouse, a multi-chain hardware store. I will be playing for Compassion Australia, which is sort of like World Vision, but run entirely by Christians. Here's their website, if you want to check it out. COMPASSION AUSTRALIA(By the way guys, I happened upon Alan Attebery's secret stash of tomatoes from the old forum, so it may be a red and green Christmas, in more ways than one  ) |

Well I'm currently known as the proprietor of Password over on another network, and incidentally did a spot of hosting Sale over in the UK no less. Tonight I'm playing on behalf of the Royal British Legion, a charity in the UK well known for providing support to those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families. With this year having been the centenary of WWI breaking out, it seems apt. I'll also be putting a donation into the RSL and the American Legion on Greg and Cameron's behalf.

Good luck to you, Sam, and to your charity. Now that we've gotten to know our three hosts, we'll start things up by giving each of them 20 bucks.  (ding)I'm gonna give you five questions to each of you. Whoever buzzes in first and get the question right, we'll give you $5. But if you're wrong, we'll deduct the 5 from your score. Whoever is in the lead will be playing the Instant Bargain for a home viewer. 1. Who wrote the "Man in the Iron Mask"?
2. By what name is the island of Rapa Nui better known?
3. Which Disney film included the songs "Chim Chim Cheree" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"?
4. When first founded by Benjamin Franklin, what was the job of the "bucket brigade"?
5. What does a funambulist do?*PM your buzz-codes on each question including your answers. All three of you have 24 hours. No penalties. |

Post by tmann3x on Dec 24, 2014 10:29:25 GMT -5
I'll announce the name of the home viewer... sale or no sale. BTW, the prize amount will the equal cash amount for your charity. I'll make a better offer for you and the winning viewer... I'm gonna subtract the offer and sell it for $4.
Going once...

If you throw in $1,000 cash and drop it to $3, I'd buy.

(buzzer)TONY: No. The correct answer was CHERRY COKE. Greg loses 5 on an incorrect response... down to 21.  Next question... What was the great discovery made in 1922 by Howard Carter and Lord Caernarvon?Buzz-code answer: 88 1st: SAM (34) 2nd: CAMERON (31) *** Greg passes *** (buzz-in)Sam...? SAM: The Tomb of Tutankhamun. TONY: Right. (applause)And Sam now tied with Cameron.  (ding)What sense is most closely linked to memory?Buzz-code answer: 33 1st: CAMERON (9) 2nd: SAM (52) 3rd: GREG (62) (buzz-in)Cameron...? CAMERON: Sight? (buzzer)TONY: Sight is incorrect. It was SMELL. Cameron loses 5 and Sam is now in the lead.  What does Charlie Brown set out to do in the made-for-TV special, A Charlie Brown Christmas?Buzz-code answer: 48 1st: CAMERON (49) 2nd: GREG (37) *** Sam passes *** (buzz-in)Cameron...? CAMERON: Grow a pumpkin...? (audience laughs)(buzzer)TONY (facepalm): No! That was "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". The correct answer was FIND THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS. Cameron is now down to 15.  Vienna and Belgrade lie on the banks of which river?Buzz-code answer: 100 1st: GREG (25) 2nd: SAM (12) *** Cameron passes *** (buzz-in)Greg...? GREG: Volga. (buzzer)TONY: Volga is not right. It was THE DANUBE. You're now down to 16 bucks.  (Fame Game sound)That sound means it's time for The Fame Game. Whoever answers this "Who Am I?" question right will have a chance to find the $10 money card. Here's this clue... As host of dance program on television, I had introduced rock & roll to many Americans. The show gave many new music artists their first exposure to national audiences, including Ike & Tina Turner, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, Talking Heads and Simon & Garfunkel. Episodes I had hosted were among the first where blacks and whites performed on the same stage and among the first where the live studio audience sat without racial segregation. Singer Paul Anka claimed that the show was responsible for creating a "youth culture." Due to my perennial youthful appearance, I was often referred to as "America's oldest teenager". Who am I?
