You're narrowing the gap. Up to $1,700. Kori, here's your question.
On April 16, 1521, a Catholic monk came to Worms, Germany to defend his anti-Church writings in front of the Diet of Worms. In the following two days, he refused to recant his texts, including his "95 Theses," and was excommunicated. Despite this, he became a leader of the Protestant Reformation. What was this monk's first and last name?

Nicely done! (Applause) For the first time in a while, a subject has gone by and Michael has not answered. The scores are Michael leading with $2,900, Kevin with $1,700, and Kori back on the plus side with $1,000. Kori, you also get the next choice.

MICHAEL ($2,900): THINGS WE EAT for $800
KEVIN ($1,700): THINGS WE EAT for $800

Michael and Kevin going at it again, while Kori works alone. Michael and Kevin, step up to the $800 challenge.
In the 1920s, a New Zealand chef created a dome-shaped meringue-coated cake and served it to a visiting ballerina from Russia. The ballerina loved its taste and design, which resembled one of her trademark billowing skirts. As a result, the chef named the dessert, which is now the national dessert of Australia and New Zealand, after her. Name the dancer, and you've named the dessert.

Right! Anna Pavlova was the dancer. You're up to $3,700. Kori, this will take you to $2,000 if you're right.
A 19th Century British naval surgeon believed that drinking straight gin harmed the health, so he diluted it with lime juice, helping to prevent scurvy in his men. Nowadays, the surgeon's name denotes a cocktail made with gin and lime juice. Name the cocktail, and you've named the surgeon.

I might look inebriated and I might act inebriated, but I can assure you, I don't know a thing about al-key-haul. With that, I'll take a one-in-a-million shot. Doc Rogers.

Let 'er rip...that's wrong. Back down to 0, I'm afraid, but that was a tough one. The answer was a GIMLET. Looking at the scores, it's Michael with $3,700, Kevin with $1,700, and Kori with no money. Michael made the most on the last subject, so he'll choose the next one.

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) Questions about Michael Jackson, but I do want to caution you to read the categories very carefully and choose the one you want. Choices are...(BONG-BONG-BONG!)
HIS MOVES for $600
HIS MUSIC for $800
HIS MOVIES for $1,000

We're ready...
MICHAEL ($3,700): HIS MOVIES for $1,000
KEVIN ($1,700): HIS MUSIC for $800
KORI ($0): HIS MOVIES for $1,000
Kevin was the holdout this time, and he'll go first. Kevin, for $800...
Michael Jackson has had many number 1 hits as a soloist, group member, and duetist. Two of his duets went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Name EITHER ONE of these hits.

No, sorry. Michael Jackson did not do that song - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder did. I think you meant to answer "SAY, SAY, SAY," which McCartney did perform with M.J. The other one was "I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU," which he did with Siedah Garrett. Sorry, but you go down to $900.
Michael and Kori, step up to the $1,000 challenge on HIS MOVIES.
In 1978, 20-year-old Michael Jackson co-starred with many other well-known black performers in the movie "The Wiz," a Motown-driven rendition of "The Wizard of Oz." Although critics panned the movie, they praised Jackson's role as which character?

Incorrect (audience awwws). Nipsey Russell played the Tin Man. Michael, you may attempt the question if you want. If you don't want to try it, there's no penalty. Want the question?

That's correct (Applause). Our challengers had some trouble with that one. Michael has $4,700, Kevin has $900, and Kori has -$1,000. Three subjects left, and Michael gets the choice.

BASEBALL for $800
GOLF for $1,000

Post by jmdarrall on Apr 28, 2015 8:41:43 GMT -5
We are in...
MICHAEL ($4,700): GOLF for $1,000
KEVIN ($900): GOLF for $1,000
KORI (-$1,000): GOLF for $1,000
(WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP! Audience applauds) There we go! Our first triple of the game! We'll start by doubling the value of all questions in this subject.
WRESTLING for $1,200
BASEBALL for $1,600
GOLF for $2,000
Now, the GOLF question becomes a toss-up. Whoever gets it right will get a crack at the other two questions unopposed. If Kevin takes this all the way out, he'll take the lead. If Kori does so, he'll close the gap significantly. If Michael goes all the way out on this, he'll expand his lead. Gentlemen, step up to the $2,000 challenge.
Fill in the blank with a ground animal. You're playing golf and you just hit a badly-topped shot, causing your ball to roll quickly on the ground. Your fellow golfers are laughing because you just hit a _____-burner.

Good guess, that's right! (Michael breathes a sigh of relief) You know what you can do next, sir. You can try either one of the remaining questions, or switch to another subject. What's your pleasure?
