Right! (applause)Let's take a look at the prize board.  (beeping)Inside each of the nine numbers, we have cash and prizes totaling over $25,000. While the lights are in motion, all you have to do is press the buzzer and reveal a prize for another home viewer as well as equal cash amount for your charity. If it lands on a money card, we'll add that to your 15 bucks. Piper, care to tell us where is the $10 money card?  Piper: It's behind #8. Tony: Whenever you're stop, Cameron, hit the button. (pick a letter between A through I) |

(time up buzzer)Time's up. I'm afraid that Cameron will be sitting out throughout this round. And BTW... due to a technical issue of the Socrates question, one of the judges have confirmed that somewhere that Plato was the student of Socrates as opposed to the teacher of such, not to mention Plato was 40 or so years younger. So for that, we'll give him the $5 back. Our apologies for that error. Right now, it's between Sam and Greg. What did Hannibal Lecter say French people taste like?Buzz-code answer: 96 1st: SAM (54) *** Greg passes *** (buzz-in)Sam...? SAM: Chicken. TONY: I'm glad that you didn't added, "...of the Sea." (laughter and applause)Anyways, you're correct and you score five more.  (ding)Who was the chief photographer for "Rolling Stone" magazine from 1970 to 1983?Buzz-code answer: 52 1st: SAM (12) *** Greg passes *** (buzz-in)Sam...? SAM: Anne Leibovitz? TONY: You're right again. Sam scores another 5... (applause) (ding)What is the name of the sonnet by Emma Lazarus that is inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty?Buzz-code answer: 42 1st: GREG (45) 2nd: SAM (35) (buzz-in)Greg...? GREG: The New Colossus. TONY: The New Colossus is the right answer. (applause)And this time, Palmer earns 5.  (ding)In what competition could you see a double axel and a mohawk turn?Buzz-code answer: 19 1st: GREG (26) 2nd: SAM (60) (buzz-in)Greg...? GREG: Ice skating...? TONY: Judge...? JUDGE MILLS LANE: I'LL ALLOW IT!!!!! TONY: The judge accepts your answer, Greg. It is FIGURE SKATING. (applause)And Greg earns another 5.  (ding)What is the third largest Caribbean island?Buzz-code answer: 70 1st: SAM (88) *** Greg passes *** (buzz-in)Sam...? SAM: Jamaica. TONY: Jamaica is the correct answer. (applause)And Sam now has an even 50.  (ding)Here's a fun fact-- Once a Spanish possession known as Santiago, in 1655 it came under the rule of England (later Great Britain), and was called Jamaica. It achieved full independence from the United Kingdom on 6 August 1962. With 2.8 million people, it is the third most populous Anglophone country in the Americas, after the United States and Canada. Kingston is the country's largest city and its capital, with a population of 937,700. Coming up next, we're gonna play the Fame Game and add a $15 money card. Also, we're giving away another prize for our home viewer. More of the $ale holiday special... when we return after this commercial time out. Stick around, folks...

*back to studio* (main theme closes, cheers and applause)(cheers and applause)Welcome back to the $ale of the Century Holiday Special. So far, Sam Hodkin is in the lead with $50... Greg Palmer is in second place with $26... and Cameron Shields is in third with $25. (Fame Game sound)That sound means it's time for another Fame Game. Answer this "Who Am I?" question right and you'll have a chance to play for the $15 money card and one lucky home viewer. Here's this clue... I was born on July 13, 1940 in Mirfield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. I am the son of Gladys, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army. In January 1967, I made my debut TV appearance on Coronation Street as a Fire Officer. In 1969, I had a brief TV cameo role as Horatio, opposite Ian Richardson's Hamlet, in a performance of the gravedigger scene as part of episode six of Sir Kenneth Clark's Civilisation television series. Over the years, I took roles in many major television series without ever becoming a household name. I appeared as Vladimir Lenin in Fall of Eagles; Sejanus in I, Claudius; Karla in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People; Claudius in a 1980 BBC adaptation of Hamlet. I even took the romantic male lead in the 1975 BBC adaptation of Mrs Gaskell's North and South (wearing a hairpiece). I also took the lead, playing Psychiatric Consultant Dr. Edward Roebuck in a BBC TV series called Maybury in 1981. When I began my role in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–94), the Los Angeles Times called me an "unknown British Shakespearean actor". When asked in 2011 for the highlight of my career, I chose Star Trek: The Next Generation, "because it changed everything [for me]." I also said I am very proud of my work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, for its social message and educational impact on young viewers. Who am I?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzzcode ONLY. |

TONY: Thank you, Doug. Now Sam... this is the one offer you don't want to refuse. But, that's not the end of the story. If you take the offer now, a home viewer will be packing its bags and fly all the way to Chicago. Instead of $5,000 in spendable money, we'll add $10,000 more. That's 15 grand in cash... thus, making this offer a total of $23,215. We'll deduct $7 from the offer and make the offer $10 even.
