This Friday, I will be hosting my very first episode of $ale of the Century. I may be rusty at times, but I will do my very best.
1) I'm looking for three contestants to participate.
2) I'm looking for a co-host to do the Instant Bargain portions.
If you want to take a part in this first episode, please let me know.

Thank you Tony! First of all wow what a glamorous set you have here!
I am 56, and reside with my wife of 32 years and our son of 23 years near historic Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, where I have been gainfully employed for the past 4 years (in fact exactly 4 years today) with a small family owned business in town that sells equipment for first responders. I do order entry work there, clerical tasks, quality control, database management, daily and monthly financial reports too.
And I just began a new hobby 2 days ago, I'm the proud owner of my very first fantasy baseball team. Nine other guys along with myself are in the league and I expect very stiff competition from them and from my two very worth opponents here today also!

Well...life's going swimmingly at the moment. I'm on the final stretch of my senior year of high school, I'm a writer in my spare time, and I love acting.
My goal one day is to launch a show of my own in some form...a goal my friends and I are planning in the form of a podcast! But my main goal of course is to be a TV star with his own talk show!

Well, I am a shift leader at a national sub sandwich chain. I love looking at random things on the internet. I am a game show geek and this show is one of my favorite shows. I also collect stationary and cigar boxes for fun. I am also learning two different languages Spanish and Korean.

And good luck to you as well, Immanuel. Now that we've gotten to know our players, let's begin the game by giving each of them $20. [ Ding ]I'll be asking 5 questions for you guys to answer. On each question, you must PM your buzz-code (between 1 and 100) and your answer to each question. If you're right, we'll add $5 each time. But if you give me an incorrect response, you'll lose five bucks. Here are the five questions... 1. What original literary work was the movie "Jackie Brown" based on?
2. In what US city would you find the fashionable Dupont Circle neighborhood?
3. Who played the role of Peter Bretter in the 2008 motion picture "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"?
4. What country was known as British Honduras prior to 1973?
5. In what city did NBA star LeBron James play his high school basketball home games?* You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-codes and answers. |

Let's say we sweeten the deal. Instead of 700... we'll add 1,300 more. That's $2,000 cash that's inside this fish tureen. We'll knock a dollar out just for that. The fish tureen, $2,000 in cash for just 5 bucks. Going once... Going twice... [ Audience Shouts Suggestions ] |
