Be thankful he does. That’s right! One more question, and here it is.

JC.... you win!
(Victory cue plays as James and JC shake hands and the money moves to JC’s board)
Nicely played, both of you. James, a twist of fate late in the game gave JC control when he needed it most. James, you are by no means a losing participant. Listen to this: you have won $23,700 in cash, along with trips to Antigua and Dubai. All told, you have a grand total of...
$37,950
Massive round of applause for James!
(Applause as James leaves the podium)
JC, when we come back, we’ll see just how much we can add to your $4,600. Stay with us!

(Cue plays as JC walks up to the platform)
ME: Quick review of the rules. Rack up $5,000 or more, or hit three Bullseyes, and you’ll win cash and a fantastic trip. Stay away from the Lightning, or you will lose everything in this round. Jim, please tell everyone about the trip.

Altogether, this prize is worth $6,000!
ME: Very nice! One more thing: hit three Bullseyes in one spin and you’ll win the trip and $30,000 cash! Let’s set the windows in motion (shuffle effects), and press the button.

Nice job, JC! Ordinarily, we would double your bank for that, but we have a guaranteed minimum rule, so you have won $5,000 cash and the cruise. For one game, your total is...
$15,600
We’ll find out where the Lightning was (I press the button and the Lightning strikes the SECOND window)...whoa! Flirted with disaster on that one. Doesn’t matter, though. Let’s take a break, and we’ll find out who your next challenger is. Stay with us!

Good. 3 questions, $300 apiece, for a contract worth $900. First question...
He’s the longest continuously serving cast member in the history of “Saturday Night Live,” and a panelist on the upcoming contest show “Bring On The Funny.” In the 1990s, he was well known for his antics on Nickelodeon’s “All That,” often paired with Kel Mitchell. For $300 in the pot, name him.

Post by jch20088 on Jun 20, 2019 10:00:06 GMT -5
I’m a big fan of the original All That, the answer is Kenan Thompson.

Post by jmdarrall on Jun 20, 2019 11:47:02 GMT -5
Correct! Question 2...
On “Young Sheldon,” Zoe Perry plays Sheldon Cooper’s mom, Mary. Perry’s real life mother played Mary Cooper on “The Big Bang Theory,” but she’s best known for playing Jackie on “The Connors” and “Roseanne.” For $600 in the pot, name this Emmy winning actress.

I also enjoyed the revival of Roseanne, I’m gonna say Laurie Metcalf.

Good! One more.
His voice work has been featured in the “Halo” video games. He spent 8 years playing crime-solving mystery writer Richard Castle before starring as John Nolan on the current series “The Rookie.” To complete the contract, name him.

My sisters were obsessed with Castle back in the day. I’m gonna say Nathan Fillion.
