MATCH GAME/HOLLYWOOD SQUARES HOUR [NBC/Peacock] - Episode 52

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, the fab five are ready. George, let's see if you pad the lead with this.

The baseball manager said, "No wonder our team's losing. The players wear their gloves on their BLANK."

[bighornbattle]

Feet.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Feet. That's a good answer. So good we can put it on the air. (scattered laughter from crowd) Let's see if they thought of feet -- starting with Clara.

Clara: I might get some tonight.

(buzz) (scattered woahs)

Doug: Ummm -- are we still on the air? Mark, a good answer, please.

Mark: (card)

(buzz) (scattered applause)

Doug: Shoulders -- that's is a good answer as we visit Tony.

The baseball manager said, "No wonder our team's losing. The players wear their gloves on their BLANK."

Doug: And George said "feet".

Tony: At least, they're using their heads.

(buzz) (scattered applause)

Doug: Gloves as headgear again. Steven?

Steven: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Feet -- there's another for you, George. Bryan, do you bring more feet to the table?

Bryan: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Another match. George, you're halfway to a perfect score. Kourtney, you need to get a move-on here.

[pathfinder20]

Understood.

[dougmorrisontheair]

And since Kourtney's yet to score, all six stars get to play.

Harold the historian said, "I'm not saying Bernie Sanders is old. But it is worth pointing out his first family pet was a BLANK."


(audience laughs and applauds)
(think music plays)

[tmann3x]

6 hours left for Clara, Lainey, Mark, and Steven to PM their answers...

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay Kourtney. They're set. Let's see if you can get on the board with this.

Harold the historian said, "I'm not saying Bernie Sanders is old. But it is worth pointing out his first family pet was a BLANK."

[pathfinder20]

Dinosaur?

Dinosaur?

(as Regis):  Final answer?

[pathfinder20]

Yes…prepared for the worse…

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Ye of little faith. That's bound to get a match or two. Let's check. Clara?

Clara: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Bingo. Just like that, Kourtney's on the board with $100. Lainey, do you make it $200?

Lainey: I felt the burn...

(scattered cheers)

(buzz)
(audience groans)

Doug: No. Classic general vs. specific mismatch, I'm afraid. So, can't give you $100 for that, Kourtney. Let's go to Mark.

Mark: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's $200 -- as we go to Tony.

Harold the historian said, "I'm not saying Bernie Sanders is old. But it is worth pointing out his first family pet was a BLANK."

Doug: And Kourtney said a dinosaur.

Tony: Before there was Godzilla, there was Dino! (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's another match. We're tied right now at $300. Steven, do you give Kourtney the lead?

Steven: We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story Part 2 (card)

(buzz) (more groans)

Doug: Another general vs. specific as the judge bangs the gong -- or the buzzer as the case may be. I'm showing my age. Bryan?

Bryan: He’s so old, he owned a DINOSAUR!

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Four matches for you, Kourtney.

Doug: And with that, the lead changes hands. Find out who's going to Hollywood Squares -- right after this.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)

General vs. specific answer.  In other words--  no match.

School Riot Returns

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

And we're back.

Round 3 of Match Game starting now. Leader after this round plays the champ in Hollywood Squares.

Kourtney, you're leading. This time, you'll start by picking Question A or Question B.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s try B.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Going with B and just two stars play.

Lainey and Steven. The rest of you get to chillax.

Tex the tattoo artist said, "I had an unusual request from a customer. She wanted the likeness of the host of 'Wheel of Fortune' on her body. In other words, she wanted a BLANK on the back."


(audience laughs and applauds)
(think music plays)

[dougmorrisontheair]

And they're ready. Kourtney, let's see if you can get a perfect score with this.

Tex the tattoo artist said, "I had an unusual request from a customer. She wanted the likeness of the host of 'Wheel of Fortune' on her body. In other words, she wanted a BLANK on the back."

[pathfinder20]

Pat Sajak.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: Okay, that's the definitive answer -- but there's a better way to express the answer.

Tex the tattoo artist said, "I had an unusual request from a customer. She wanted the likeness of the host of 'Wheel of Fortune' on her body. In other words, she wanted a Pat on the back."

Doug: "Pat on the back" being a common expression and the intended pun for this question.

So before we get to Lainey's answer, I just want to test the system. Judge, if a star just writes down "PAT", what's the result?

(ding)

(inaudible dialogue from judge)

Doug: Gotcha. Pat Sajak's so closely associated with the show, we'd rule it as "close enough".

Judge, one more question. In the unlikely event a star wrote down "Pat Mitchell", "Pat McCormick", or another famous Pat, what's the result?

(buzz)

Doug: Okay, now that we've had our Nomenclature 101 lesson, Lainey, what say ye?

Lainey: Easy

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Exact match after all there. Steven, it's up to you. Do we have a perfecto?

Steven: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: And another exacta!

Doug: A sea of red for Kourtney...

Doug: ...means a total of $1000 for you.

George, this means you're going to need a perfecto just to send this to a tie-breaker. One mismatch -- and Kourtney's going to Hollywood Squares.

[dougmorrisontheair]

So, as we play Question A, we're playing it with...

...Clara, Mark, and Tony. The rest of you, please be on standby in case this goes to a tie-breaker.

Last regulation question in Match Game goes something like this.

Did you hear Well-Endowed Wilma lost $5000 at a blackjack table in Atlantic City? In her last hand, she hit on a 7 and a 9, got a 10 and went BLANK.


(audience laughs and applauds)
(think music plays)

[tmann3x]

Kevin, Nels, and Bingel... be on standby for The Hollywood Squares.

[dougmorrisontheair]

The trio's ready, George. Need to match 'em all to stay in business.

Did you hear Well-Endowed Wilma lost $5000 at a blackjack table in Atlantic City? In her last hand, she hit on a 7 and a 9, got a 10 and went BLANK.

[bighornbattle]

I am going to take a stab at it and say busted.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: That's *the* answer. Three busts on another show I hosted would've put you in dire straits. Here, three busts will put you in the tie-breaker. Clara?

Clara: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's another match. Two away from the tie. Mark?

Mark: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: One away from the tie. Tony, do we go to a tie-break or Hollywood Squares?

Tony: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Woah! That was a close one. "Bustier" -- could've gone a different way. Judge ruled it close enough.

Doug: A sea of green leads to a tiebreaker.

Doug: And now, here's the tiebreaker question.

_____HOUSE

---

Please don't blurt out an answer. It might be a rotten one, after all. Civilian players, details of the tiebreaker are coming in your PMs.

[dougmorrisontheair]

_____HOUSE

1. DREAM

2. OUT-

3. WHEEL-

4. WHITE



Doug: Players, in your secret screens, we have four answers that can complete this phrase. You'll each choose an answer. Then I'll call for answers from the stars one-by-one. The moment a star matches your answer, you win $500 and you'll head for Hollywood Squares.

Kourtney, you went second in Round 1. You go first in the tiebreaker. Please select your answer by number only -- 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Kourtney: 4.

Doug: Number 4 is yours. George, of the remaining answers, which would you like?

George: I choose #1.

Doug: Your choice is number 1 and we'll make it so.

Doug: We'll now call for answers one by one from the panel. When a star matches your answer, George or Kourtney, please holler, jump, shout, celebrate, but don't gloat. Clara, how do you complete this?

_____HOUSE

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Clara)

[coolclar1]

Brick

[dougmorrisontheair]

Brick -- house. Great song and good answer -- but no match. We'll go to Lainey.
