MG-HS Hour from NYC [NBC / Peacock] - Ep. 50 (SEASON FINALE)

[tmann3x]

Klump

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ah, the nutty professor. There's one. Please pick another star, Matt.

[mringgenberg]

Nels

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nels, what say ye?

PROFESSOR_______

[nelson21]

Price

[billmcdee]

(raising my hand)

[dougmorrisontheair]

There's two. Apparently Bill has an idea, Matt. Want to pick him or someone else? Up to you.

[lmurphy10]

(Raises hand too)

[babytims]

You can pick me...just don't pick on me.

[mringgenberg]

Bill McDee

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bill, what do you bring to the table?

[billmcdee]

A bottle of white wine, some candles...


I have two really good ones...


Gosh...I'll say what my second instinct was since more often than not my first ones bomb...


Professor PLUM, from the game "Clue".


After Matt makes his choice I'll share with the rest of the class what my other thought was.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, we've got three. Professor Plum, Professor Price, and Professor Klump.

You may go with any of their ideas -- or reject them all and come up with an answer of your own.

[mringgenberg]

Professor Plum

[billmcdee]

Oh I hope that's it Matt!


My other thought was Professor Moriarity of Sherlock Holmes fame.

[lmurphy10]

What about Professor X

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

I gotta admit, there are a lot of great answers with this question. Let's hope Professor Plum from Clue cracked the top three -- and if so, where.

First, let's reveal the third most popular answer for $500.

(ding)

Professor Price. There's Nels' answer. Professor Price still living on in the hearts of many.

Okay. Let's see if Professor Plum ranked second for a grand.

(ding)

Professor *Oak*. Must've had some '90s kids that day. He's the Pokémon character who introduced Ash to Pikachu and sent them on their merry way from Pallet Town.

Last

chance

for

Professor

Plum.

Let's

hope

we

had

Clue

players

in

the

crowd

that

day.

Earl,

slide

the

big

one,

please.

(buzz; audience groans)

Professor Proton! Bob Newhart's character from "The Big Bang Theory" and "Young Sheldon".

Oh well. Fortunately, we do let you play the Head-to-Head Match.

(Star Wheel descends with MG90 sfx)

Now since you didn't match an answer in the top three, we give you a consolation prize of -- (ding) -- $250. We also seed this bank with $250.

Now more than ever, we'd love to see you land on one of these fifties. If you do, we multiply 50 by $250 for a potential $12,500 payoff.

(audience cheers)

Now this spin also determines which star plays your question. So, give it a good spin and we'll all root for a 50.

(Matt, please respond here with a spin code from 1-81.)

[mringgenberg]

56

[babytims]

(crossing my fingers, hoping for a 50!)

[billmcdee]

(((Growling at the Audience match board)))

Yes come on we HAVE to roll a "50" for episode 50 wheel!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

Steve Anderson and a 20. Meaning we're playing for -- (ding) -- $5000.

Okay, Steve, Matt, for the $5000 payoff, we must have an exact match to this question.

_____CENT. That's C-E-N-T. _____CENT.

(Super Match think music plays)

---

Matt, please don't respond yet; just marinate on an answer.

Steve, please PM Tony and me your answer.

For everyone else, please don't say anything; you might be offering a lousy answer.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

All right, Matt, Steve is ready with his answer. We're ready for yours. For $5000, how do you complete this?

_____CENT.

[mringgenberg]

50

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Seems fitting, doesn't it?

Let's turn around and get our answer from Steve.

Steve, for an old-fashioned Match Game $5000 payoff, what say ye?

Steve: Being the fiftieth show.....
















Steve: and playing for 50 $100 bills....














Steve: and I can't come up with 48 more stretches on this reveal.....

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

Doug: Bingo!

Doug: $5000 more for you. We'll total up your winnings -- and give a lucky viewer a chance to win big right after this.

(more cheers)

(Super Match think music plays)

Who's on the line?

(Anyone who hasn't played in this thread is eligble to play.)

[babytims]

Can I step in?

[tmann3x]

Immanuel... you're a star, you silly!

(audience laughs)

[babytims]

Well...just thought I'd ask.

(melting under my podium)

[billmcdee]

You can't melt!  You have m&m's as your icon, and they melt in your mouth, not on our set!
