Thank you very much, Matt Bingel. Welcome once again to America's great game of bargain shopping that we call $ale of the Century. Our game yesterday came down to a tiebreaker, and at the very end, Nels pulled through after James Greek answered incorrectly on the tie breaking question. Of course, Nels won himself a trip to japan on the Winner's Board but I bet he'd like to win some more stuff today as we say hello to our lovely hostess, Vanna White. (Vanna comes out to a tremendous applause) Hello there, Vanna. Great to see you again.
Vanna: Great to see you too.
Me: I was just telling the audience about how yesterday's game ended. Do you think today's show will have just as much excitement?
Vanna: I hope so.
Me: I hope so too, so let's meet the two players that will be opposing Nels today.
Vanna: Our first challenger is a caregiver from Rocky Top, Tennessee, please welcome Justin Rhea! And our second challenger is a day care worker from Boston, Massachusetts, welcome Frank Sartori! (audience applauds)
Me: Gentlemen, welcome to our show. Justin, tell the folks about yourself and what you do.

Vanna: It's a brand new iPad. The iPad Air comes with 64 gigabytes of storage space and is helpful for office or casual work. You can also watch your favorite movies and TV programs with the Netflix app. This terrific piece of technology normally retails for $930, but on $ale of the Century, it can be yours for $3.
Me: I do have an iPad myself, but it's an older model.
Vanna: Which one do you have?
Me: I have a 2016 iPad Mini, so I think it might be time to upgrade soon. Anyway Justin, if you take this bargain, you would still be ahead of Nels by two bucks. Not only that, I'll also throw in another $500 in cash to go with the tablet for a total of $1430 in cash and prize. Going once, going twice.........................

Hands on buzzers, players, and here are your clues for this famous person. I was born in 1933 under the name of James Edward Dooley. My grandmother was a record holding swimmer as well as a marathon dancer. I was often nicknamed "Big Jim" due to my height. My first appearance as a television host took place in 1965 on a show called Fractured Phrases. I moved to Canada in the early seventies and moved back to the States in the late seventies to host Card Sharks for NBC. From 1983 to 1989, I had a successful run hosting the very program our contestants are playing right now. Who am I?

(Fame Game sfx) Time now for fame game number two. $10 money card still out there but we're now adding a $15 money card to go with it. Hands on buzzer, gentlemen, and listen carefully as I describe a famous Landmark for all three of you. I am a famous landmark located in Toronto, Canada. I was completed in 1976 and am named after the railway company that built me. I held the record for the world's tallest free standing structure for more than thirty years until I was surpassed by the Burj Kalifa in 2007 and I was the world's tallest tower until i was surpassed by the Canton Tower in 2009. I am now the ninth tallest free standing structure in the world as well as the tallest free standing structure in the Western Hemisphere. What am I?
