MATCH GAME/HOLLYWOOD SQUARES HOUR [NBC] - Episode 33

[dougmorrisontheair]

Thank you, Shadoe. Lenny Jackson has already made room in his bank account for 100,000 portraits of George Washington. So let's have a go at it.

Before you can play for $100,000, you must win $2000 from this audience match.

We surveyed members of a recent studio audience for their best answers to this.

(ding)

DAYS OF BLANK

(ding)

Match the most popular answer in the survey -- and $2000 will be yours.

(ding)

Second most popular answer is worth $1000.

(ding)

And the third most popular answer awards $500.

You may enlist assistance from any three of our nine stars.

[redrangerdude]

Bill, Jon, then Matt

[billmcdee]

One of the few things on NBC that is older than I...


Like sands through the hourglass, so are the...

Days Of OUR LIVES...

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, there's one. Jon, the champ chose you next.

[jmdarrall]

Good one, Bill...

I am going to say Days of THUNDER.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, Matt. Third I know is tough. But what do you bring to this question?

DAYS OF BLANK

[mrb2000]

I’ll say Days Of THE WEEK

[dougmorrisontheair]

And there you have three -- "Days of Our Lives", "Days of Thunder", and days of the week.

You may choose any of those three -- or go out on your own and give an answer on your own.

What do *you* think is the number one answer?

[redrangerdude]

I will go with "Days of Our Lives"

[billmcdee]

(crossing my fingers and staring at the board as it has burned me before)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Legendary daytime title, for sure. Let's see if it ranks in the top three -- and, if so, where.

First, we start at the bottom and reveal the $500 response.

(ding)

The week. That was Matt's answer.

Still looking for "Days of Our Lives". Is it the $1000 answer?

(ding)

Thunder. There was Jon's answer.

This is usually a good sign.

Last

chance

for

"Days

of

Our

Lives".

Slide

that

big

one,

please,

Earl.

(dings; audience applause)

Our lives! There ya go.

(Lenny goes over to Bill's square; they shake hands while star wheel descends; Lenny returns center stage)

Ease on over here -- because...

...here is the Star Wheel. With a lucky spin and a great answer, you could win $100,000. For winning $2000 from the Audience Match...

(ding)

...we see the bank with a different $2000. Now, in a moment, you'll spin the wheel. The wheel determines who you get to play with *and* how much the Head-To-Head Match question is worth.

When the wheel stops, it will pinpoint to one of those 20s, 30s, or the elusive 50s. We'll then multiply that number by the $2000 to determine the value of the question.

It must make one complete revolution. So give it a good hard spin and let's go.

---

Lenny, please respond with a spin code from 1-81 inclusive.

[redrangerdude]

(77)

[billmcdee]

('77 one of my all time favorite years!)

Looks like Bill -- and -- is it?

(dings; audience applause)

Ohhhhh wow! The 50 -- times $2000 means this question is for $100,000.

Bill, Lenny, remember, we need an exact match to this question.

WOODY BLANK. That's W-O-O-D-Y. WOODY BLANK.

(MG-HSH think music plays)

---

[Lenny, please don't respond. Just marinate on an answer.

Bill, please PM Tony and me your answer.]

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Okay, Bill's ready. Lenny, we're now ready for your answer. For $100,000, how do you complete this?

WOODY BLANK

[redrangerdude]

Woody Allen

[billmcdee]

(audience cheers)

Doug: That's a great answer.  Let's hope it matches.

Bill, for $100,000, what did you write down?



Bill: My very close friends and family members know how much of a vintage TV addict I am, and that includes classic cartoons such as Bugs Bunny and this fella here...

(sighing)























But I went for the other famous and more REAL red head instead!!!!!!!






YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause; win music plays; MG-HSH theme plays)

(fireworks exploding, cheers from audience)

(Lenny runs to Bill's desk; they high five and shake hands; rest of panel, and audience, give him a standing ovation)

Ohhhhh -- wow! That could've also gone in the direction of Woody Harrelson. But it all worked out with Woody Allen. We'll crunch the big numbers and find out his big total -- after this break.

(more cheers)

[mrb2000]

Yes!!!!
Congrats Lenny!!!

*stands and applauds*

[jmdarrall]

(Standing ovations all around)

Great job, Lenny! Glad you didn’t pick me. I would’ve said WOODPECKER.

I almost did, but my first instinct said "Allen" and I stuck with it, as per advice by Gene Rayburn!

[redrangerdude]

Oh my god! Thank you so much!

(long applause)





SHADOE STEVENS:  If you would like to be a member of our studio audience here on the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour, send it in a self addressed stamped envelope to--

[dougmorrisontheair]

We're back. Lenny, after just one victory, you have in cash and merchandise a total of...

...$117,628.

(audience cheers)

How do you feel?

[billmcdee]

(as Groucho), What do you mean "How does he feel?"  He feels with his hands of course


And my apologies to you Doug and Tony, in my relief and over-excitement I posted my answer instead of filtering it through you first...

Just such an outstanding moment!  If you want to put me in one of the 4 corners for the next episode (chuckling)...I'd deserve it.
