OK, no sale then. [SALE SURPRISE](audience groans) Oh my. Michael, there was a Sale Surprise attached to this. (Grant hands Brian the envelope) You would've had $3,000 from me and inside.... (he opens it and pulls out a check) There was a check in here, in the amount of $4,500! So you passed up $7,500 in cash and the trip. (he walks back to his lectern, stuffing the check inside his inside suit pocket) Yes, I am keeping the check. Back to the questions. 1. What glam rock band shares its name with a document that authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual?
2. What would you get if your waiter brings you a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a chili pepper sauce?
3. Who is my interim replacement on NBC Nightly News? (buzzcodes and answers, please) |

1. What glam rock band shares its name with a document that authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual? (buzzcode: 38 ) *Michael buzzes in (14)*Michael? Michael: WarrantThat's right. (ding)
Marc: $25
Matt: $45
Michael: $65
2. What would you get if your waiter brings you a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a chili pepper sauce? (buzzcode: 30) *Marc buzzes in (77)*Marc? Marc: EnchiladaThat is correct as well. You're up to $30. (ding)
Marc: $30
Matt: $45
Michael: $65
3. Who is my interim replacement on NBC Nightly News? (buzzcode: 23) *Michael buzzes in (41)*Michael? Michael: Lester HoltSurely you've noticed. You're right, and you go to $70. (ding)
Marc: $30
Matt: $45
Michael: $70
(shot of Brian) Speaking of Lester Holt, I really don't envy that guy. Ever since my suspension, he's not only been working my shift, but his weekend shift and Dateline. I tell ya, that show's really gone downhill now that Stone Phillips has left. I wonder if he'd be willing to do this show. We'll be right back. (main theme to commercial)(cheers and applause) (fade to commercial) ------------------ (fade in) (main theme closes, cheers and applause)Brian: It's Wednesday, April 1st, and this is $ale of the Century. Michael is on the move.
Marc: $30
Matt: $45
Michael: $70
He's got $70, with Matt at $45, and Marc at $30. [FAME GAME]But we have a $15 Money Card going up on the board. A famous thing this time. I am a contact sport. Leo Seltzer and Damon Runyon are credited with the basic evolution of me to my initial competitive form. In 1940, more than 5 million spectators watched a professional version of me in about 50 US cities. I have a basic set of rules, with variations reflecting the interests of a governing body's member leagues. I am played by two teams of fourteen players, who both field up to five members for each two minute jam, simultaneously skating counterclockwise on a circuit track. Game play consists of a series of short matchups ("jams") in which both teams designate a scoring player (the "jammer") who scores points by lapping members of the opposing team.(buzzcode and answer, please) |

Full magnesium alloy body construction, an intuitive control layout, and an interactive electronic viewfinder are just some of the features that will send your imagination into overdrive. It includes a 64 GB memory card and backpack. Furnished by Olympus!(cheers and applause) Brian: Well done, Matt. That package is worth $2,140; and that's yours to keep no matter how you finish in the game. All three players are back in this for $5. 1. In computers, what do the letters "HP" stand for?

Michael: $70
And as we go into CashCard, Michael, you have a lead that's evaporated down to just $10. I have four suits. One of them gives you $15 back, one gives you a random amount of money added to your score, and Michael..... take a look at the screen, because you could win this! (the screen reveals....) Bill Wolff: A new car! [MSNBC Decision 2000 Theme]Bill Wolff: (VO) It's the 2015 Chevrolet Spark LS Automatic, the city car packing a brazen blend of style and street smarts. From downtown to uptown and everywhere in between, Spark offers the spunk and versatility to tackle almost any city street. It comes with all the standard features including an ECOTEC® 1.2L DOHC 4-cylinder MFI engine, Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT), and front wheel drive. Plus, we've included Z-Spec® floor mats and grille. Furnished by Chevrolet. Find new roads. This car is worth.....$14,920(cheers and applause) Brian: But that is not all. One of those suits hides a check for $30,000. $30,000(audience cheers even louder) Now, Michael, I'll admit you probably weren't expecting me to be here tonight. So, I'll tell you what I'll do. Just for tonight, I'll knock the price back to $10. You would be in a tie with Matt going into it. You could hit the $15, you could get more with Random Cash, or you could the CashCard or a car. How confident are you? Do you want to play? (audience shouts suggestions) |

Marc: $40
Matt: $60
Michael: $70
Matt trails him by just $10, and Marc is not out of it yet at $40. We'll have a $25 Money Card going up on the board, but first, these questions.
1. Male spouses of female governors are referred as the “first" what?
2. Who is the current Speaker of the House?
3. Before hosting The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly was the anchor of what syndicated entertainment news program?

(cheers and applause) [FAME GAME]And now only $15 separates first and third place. We have a $15 and now a $25 Money Card up on the board, so this question is very important. Buzz in when you know a famous thing. I am a cooking method and apparatus. As a noun, I can refer to the meat or to the cooking apparatus itself. I am usually done in an outdoor environment by smoking the meat over wood or charcoal. Etymologists believe that I derive from a word found in the language of the Taíno people of Caribbean and the Timucua of Florida. Specifically, the Oxford English Dictionary traces me back to Haiti, translating as a "framework of sticks set upon posts". I am also used to refer to a social gathering where food is served, usually outdoors in the late afternoon or evening. However, I am never called that in the Southern United States unless I am served as part of the menu. I encompass four or five distinct types of cooking techniques, including smoking, baking, and braising.(buzzcode and answer, please) |

Time's up and Michael has a big win! [WIN CUE](cheers and applause) [Meet the Press Theme]In all my days of hosting this show, in which there has only been one, I have never seen a margin of victory that wide. Many congratulations to Michael. We'll return to you in a moment. Matt, I'm happy to say that you made a good purchase at the top of the show because you lost by more than the price of the computer. You have that laptop, plus the camera package and $570 in cash. That gives you a total of $5,709 for the day. $5,709Plus, we have some parting gifts and our thanks for playing. Marc, I'm afraid it didn't quite work out as well as you might have hoped it would, but you do have the $85 cash in front of you, plus some parting gifts and our thanks for playing. Did both of you have a good time? |

Brian: And win you did. In fact, you won by such a large amount that you'll have a decision to make. We add the $155 to the $435 you had earlier to give you a total of $590. That means you have more than enough to buy this. (the models and Stacey wave goodbye and throw confetti off this ship)Bill: (VO) Say "Bon Voyage" as you take this cruise around the world!
You and a guest will fly from Los Angeles to Fremantle, Australia where you'll board the Sea Princess for a 113-day roundtrip tour of the world in a balcony suite! You'll visit exciting ports of call such as Dubai, a scenic cruising of the Suez Canal, Rome, Lisbon, Helsinki, Cork, Boston, New York, South America, and more! All while enjoying the finer things in life aboard your cruise ship! Just relax and take in the culture. We're including transfers, vacation insurance, taxes, fees, and port expenses. Plus, you'll each get AUS$1,000 in shipboard credit, plus American spending money for airfare and incidentals! From Princess Cruises, come back new.
And this cruise is normally priced at...
$84,246But today on $ale of the Century, it's yours for only....$445(cheers and applause) Brian: And that is a very nice cruise. I think I have enough time to take one of those during my suspension. But Michael, you might decide to drive away with this instead! (Kevin, as James Bond, shows off this car) Bill: (VO) The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Convertible sits alone as a high-performance sports car of truly iconic status. A car of total emotion, yet complete control. Producing 426PS of peak power and 470Nm of torque, V8 Vantage sprints from 0-62mph in just 4.9secs. This 2015 convertible comes with all the standard features. A clean, sculptural form and perfectly executed details combine to create a car with presence, compelling visual tension and timeless beauty. Furnished by Aston Martin Newport Beach. Normally priced at.....$156,289Yours on $ale of the Century for only....$530(cheers and applause) Brian: Yes, that's a luxurious car, and all you have to do is say "yes", and it's yours. However, let me intrigue you further. Yesterday, you were only $10 away from the cruise. Now, you are only $50 and a win away from all of the prizes. Not only would you get the car and the cruise, but you'd also get that arcade game mentioned yesterday. That's worth over $32,000. Here are the other prizes you'd win. (Kelly, as an officer from the USS Enterprise, "teleports" in and plays this machine) Bill: (VO) Explore new worlds with this Star Trek pinball machine. Players will instinctively know exactly what they need to do when playing : Destroy the USS Vengeance! From the start, players can unlock special opportunities, collect bonus features and win accolades from the "Captain's Chair". Star Trek fans will experience battles between the Enterprise Team and Khan, Nero, Klingons and the Narada. This game is designed to go where no other pinball machine has gone before. Furnished by Stern Pinball and BMIGaming.com. It's normally priced at....$7,075(Shannon and Katy, dressed in Bavarian garb, dance around while serving beer) Bill: (VO) Get the Ale of the Century at Oktoberfest in Munich! We'll fly you and a guest round trip from Los Angeles to Munich, Germany for a 17-night stay at The Westin Grand München Arabellapark Hotel, one of the most inviting grand hotels in Europe. Munich's famous park, the English Garden, with its beer gardens and long walking trails, is only a few hundred meters away and the city center and central station are 10 minutes away by underground train. A rental car, travel insurance, and Delta Sky Club passes are included. Plus, we're including $4,000 in spending money! Furnished by Delta Vacations. And this trip is priced at.....
$18,636(winds-flute prize cue)  Bill: (VO) Here's the shopping spree of the century! Indulge yourself with a fantasy trip to all of your favorite stores! Make your dreams come true! If you want it, it's yours! This luxurious treat is worth $25,000!$25,000(cheers and applause) Brian: What that shopping spree would amount to, Michael, is $25,000 in cold, hard cash. You're only $50 and a win away from that. Speaking of cash, if you won tomorrow with $160, and that's only $5 more than what you had today, you'd win all the prizes, plus this! (cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)Bill: (VO) A cash jackpot of.....$880,000Brian: And that will increase to $885,000 at the end of this show, so if you came back and won with $160 tomorrow, you would have a total of over $1.2 million dollars in cash and prizes. $1,208,821(cheers and applause) That would make you the biggest winner in $ale's history. However, that's still a ways off. Michael, you have a huge decision to make. Do you want to take the cruise and leave, do you want to take the car and leave, or do you want to risk it all and come back tomorrow, with a win of $50 for all the prizes or $160 for the lot? I'll give you some time to think it over. (drumroll)(shot of the cruise, the car, a pan shot of all the prizes, and Michael, in that order) (fade to commercial) ---------------------- ------------------------ (fade in) (drumroll)Brian: Michael Clifford, as mentioned before, you have a huge decision to make. You've had some time to think it over. What is your decision? |
