Since I have decided to cancel The Joker's Wild (due to lack of interest), I have decided to bring back "Card Sharks". Although the rules are the same, the bets have completely changed in the Money Cards.
I'm looking for two players to participate. If you want to join in and play, please let me know. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Immanuel had called, Nels.
However, Nels will be in our next episode.
As soon as I find an opening poem, we'll begin the return of CS.

I'm a high school senior from Los Angeles, and I also love to act whenever I get the chance!
In my spare time, I love writing, watching movies and stand up specials, board games, hanging out with friends, and of course...watching game shows!

Well, I had a love of airplanes from a young child, so I followed my dream and wound up as a pilot for a major Canadian airline, so you name the place and I have probably at least been to its airport! I'm retired now and I enjoy playing recreational sports like tennis, golf, curling and hockey. I am thrilled to be here as well!

Good luck to you, Jack. For those of you who wants to know how Card Sharks works, please allow me to explain the rules-- Each player has their own set of 60 super-sized playing cards that were shuffled and cut before the start of the show. Jack will be playing the red cards and Immanuel will be playing the blue cards. The object of the game is to guess if the next card is higher or lower than the card that precedes it. You may freeze at any time. And whoever wins the best 2 out of 3 games will be playing the Money Cards for thousands more. *G2-T2 hovers to center stage* Before you call on the cards, you must answer a High-Low toss-up question. We begin round 1 with our first question for Jack since he had won the toss backstage. Jack... we asked 100 third graders: Will your best fried still be your best friend when you're grown-ups?How many said they would? |

I think in third grade, you're still too naive to realize how people have a tendency to drift apart as they get older, so I think a lot of them would think they'd still be best friends. I'll say 70.

[DING]70 out of 100 say they would continue to be best friends when they grow up. What do you think of that answer, Immanuel... higher or lower?

Oh man, I wonder how my best friend from third grade is doing right now. They definitely change with people moving schools and such, and I think it happens pretty often, so I say a tad higher than 70.

[DING]If it's higher, you'll play your cards. If not, Jack will be playing his cards. And as a reminder... if any of you get an answer on the nose, we'll give you a $1,000 bonus. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Jack says 70 and Immanuel says it's higher... The actual number of third graders say they will still be their best friend when they're grown-ups is-- [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]88. Immanuel is right... it is higher. So that means Immanuel gets control of the cards. After I turn the base card, you have the decision to either play on that card and call higher or lower... or change the card since you had won the first question. Your base card in round 1 is... ...a 4. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE][AUDIENCE SHOUTS SUGGESTIONS]

Lower than a 9...? [BUZZER, AUDIENCE GROANING CONTINUES][BOOING]The audience was right, Jack. You could have froze on that middle card. When we come back after these messages, we'll have question 2 ready for Immanuel. We'll be back with more of Card Sharks. Stay with us.

*fade to promo, back to studio* [COMMERCIAL CUE]George Gray: If you live in the Los Angeles area and would like to become a contestant on Card Sharks, all you have to do is send in your postcard to--Or log on to CBS.com/cardsharks for more details and full contestant rules. Now back to Tony with more of Card Sharks.[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, George. Welcome back to Card Sharks, everybody. Here's what the board looks like. Both players have not moved a single muscle so they're stuck with it. Things are gonna change as we resume our first round. Question number 2 goes to Immanuel. Immanuel... here's an educated guess question. What percent of current female US Senators were once Girl Scouts? |

I'm thinking it's low too, but I'll say it's a bit higher than that.

[DING]The actual percentage of current female US Senators who were once Girl Scouts is... [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]72%! Jack is right... it's way much higher. Jack, you still have a 3. Do you want to play on this card or change it?
