While I'm taking a break from hosting the daytime version of "Gambit", I've decided to host a live presentation of "Celebrity Gambit". Two game show hosts will be playing this game for their favorite charities. I'm looking for two game show hosts to participate. Please let me know and be on stand-by.

As host of the "sister" show P.M., I'd like to if I may.
As I was just today diagnosed with this, and if I am elected/allowed to play, my charity will be the American Tinnitus Association.

Well... I'll do it if I may. I'm Hunter Dillon, I host(ed) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and I'm playing for Autism Speaks, as I myself have autism.

Mi casa es su casa Tony. And that applies to the P.M. set as well, by all means!
Hunter, it will be a privilege to play against you. I enjoy your program on here very much!

Thanks, Tony. And Bill, best of luck to you! I'm glad we get to do another special together after last year's The Name's The Same special. This should be fun!

=================================================================================================================== [LAS VEGAS GAMBIT INTRO, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Jim Thornton: Live from the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, the most exciting game in town-- And here's your host... Tony Lane![WILD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*host walks from audience all the way to stage* Tony: Thank you, Jim Thornton! Good evening, ladies and gentlemen... and to the folks watching us at home. Welcome to a very special presentation of Celebrity Gambit. For those of you who want to know... this is a special prime time edition based on a very long running daytime game of skill, fate, and fortune. And in the next 59 minutes, you'll be seeing two great game show hosts play for their favorite charities. Before we meet them, please welcome our card dealer... give it up for Jennifer Love Hewitt! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Jennifer: Thank you, Tony. It's great to be back at the MGM Grand for another round of Gambit. So... let's meet tonight's stars, shall we? [CONTESTANTS' INTRO] Our first player is the host of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" in syndication. Please welcome to our show HUNTER DILLON. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And his opponent is the current host of "Gambit PM" here on CBS. Please give it up for BILL McDEE! [MORE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, Jennifer.

Well, as Jennifer said, I currently host Millionaire, in syndication all across the country, and have a good time doing it. I thank you for giving me the privilege to fly from New York to Las Vegas to participate is this exciting event. I'm playing for Autism Speaks, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness in children and adults who suffer from autism, and the cool thing is Bill McDee, my opponent for this evening, and myself did a special last year with Doug Morris, The Name's The Same, and we did that together, and he played for three charities, one of which was, in fact, Autism Speaks, so I'm hoping to add more money to the loot that Bill won on TNTS.

Good evening to you Jennifer, and to you Hunter, and of course to you Tony. As for borrowing Tony, this is OUR set. And YOU are this generation's first Gambit host, so if anything, it is I who borrowed and re-decorated the set for night time  I am Bill McDee, perhaps the elder statesman of this realm at age 48 and 1/4. Yes, sadly I have gone over 21 long long ago... I am indeed the current Master of Ceremonies of the nighttime version of our show, affectionately known as Gambit P.M. We've added some new elements to our game, bigger risks and such, so be sure to watch! Of my 48 years, I have been married for approximately half of those, or 24 years. About a week ago, I began experiencing ringing in both my ears. For the last several days it has been more or less constant in just my left ear. An initial examination which I had done only yesterday indicated that it is tinnitus. That is the scientific word for ringing in the ears. It can be caused by stress, taking too much aspirin, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, allergies or other phenomena including getting older. There is no current permanent cure for tinnitus, however, there is a charity, the American Tinnitus Association. Their website is: www.ata.org/Some good information there, and if you can donate, please do folks! I am happy to report that I feel terrific, have no pain, no loss of balance, just some challenges falling asleep is all. Having lots of "white noise" helps to mask the ringing to a degree which makes it easier for me to fall asleep so if I should happen to doze off while you are applauding ladies and gentlemen, please do not take it personally! I am very pleased to be here, and indeed we did have a great time on "The Name's The Same" during the holiday season, so hats off to Doug Morris for that! I wish Hunter the very best of luck, and congratulate him on his "Millionaire" program. Let's play some Gambit! |

And good luck to you as well, Bill. Now that we've met our stars, let's get it started with round 1. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over. Each correct answer is worth $100 and whoever comes closer to 21 (or have your opponent busted) earns an additional $500. Let's take a look at the big money board.  [CLANG]Whoever gets a combination of at least three cards that add up to 21 wins the 21 bonus pot of $5,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]But if you get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, wins the Blackjack Bonus worth $25,000! [LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]During the commercial break, the lab rats at Tandem Technologies, a RANDOM.ORG company, have sent our lovely dealer Jennifer a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed before the start of this live presentation. Jennifer will now break the seal and she'll reveal the first card in round 1. Jennifer?  Jennifer: Our first card for tonight's first round is a 5.  Tony: Hands on your signal device. Here comes the first question. 3068, 6083, or 8063-- On the classic TV series M*A*S*H, what was the 4077's rival unit?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzzcode between 1 and 100. |

OH! Is it 6083?

It was 8063. Bill scores $100 by default. [DING] And Bill... since you've won the question by default, do you want to keep the 5 or pass it to Dillon? |

 Hunter now has a 5. Jennifer won't reveal the next card until someone answers correctly to the next $100 question. Pay attention... Investigative Reporters, Private Investigators, or Pornographers-- What is the occupation of the main characters in the sexy ensemble drama Snoops on ABC? |

The correct answer was PRIVATE Investigators. Another 100 goes to Bill. [DING] You now have $200 and a decision. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Dillon? |

Let's all hope that your card is higher than that 5. Jennifer... please reveal Bill's first card.  Jennifer: Sorry, Bill... it's a 2. [AUDIENCE GROANS...] Tony: The sad news is the Blackjack Bonus is out of play... but the good news is the 21 bonus pot of $5,000 is still on the line. Next question... Air Force, California, or Houston-- Which of the following teams plays football in the Pacific 10 Conference? |

I'll incorporate a little strategy here...

I'll keep it Tony.
