Bob Hilton: Aces are high, deuces are low.
Play your cards right and your bank account will grow.On...[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
And here is the host of Card Sharks... Tony Lane![LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, Bob Hilton. Good morning, folks... and welcome to the network return of Card Sharks here on NBC. That's right... we're back to where it all begins... The Burbank Studios in beautiful downtown Burbank. Card Sharks is television's game of decisions... where you could win a fortune in cash and prizes on the turn of a single card. And if you play your cards right, you could win thousands of dollars including a brand new automobile. And I would like to take the opportunity to say a very special thanks to our director Adam Sandler for opening that poem. Thanks, Opera guy. [AUDIENCE LAUGHS, APPLAUSE]Anyways... before we open up the board, please give it up for our two lovely models who will be here with us all week long. From WWE NXT on our sister station the USA Network, here comes Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Valentina: Hola, amigos. Good morning, everyone. Yulisa: It's truly a great pleasure being here with all of you. Tony: It's great to have both of you here. Now that's we're all set, let's get to the cards. [MAIN THEME PLAYS, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And while these ladies deal the cards on the big board, let's meet our two Card Sharks.[MORE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE AS THE TWO CONTESTANT RUN TO THE PODIUMS]
Our contestants for today are our champion Kevin Kolsen and his opponent George Cluster. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE]First, let's meet our challenger for a moment. George, please tell us about yourself.

Well, I am from Spartanburg, SC. I enjoy Mahjong for over 10 years, listen to news music across the USA, and sing. When I am not doing that I enjoy 80s music, do word seeks, and watch classic and current game shows. I even have someone out in the audience rooting for me.

I want to keep winning!
But I'm also an accountant from Long Island, New York. I like to read and go to the gym.

Good luck to you, Kevin. For those of you watching at home who are new to this broadcast, please allow me to explain the rules... Each player has their own set of 52 super-sized playing cards that were shuffled and cut before the start of the show. Kevin will be playing the red cards and George 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 now begin round 1 with our first question for our champion. Kevin, we asked 100 office workers: HAVE YOU EVER EATEN SOMEONE ELSE'S FOOD FROM THE FRIDGE WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION?How many admitted they had?

I'm willing to confess to it on national television. It was a can of soda, though, and the person I stole it from hasn't worked with me in years, though. That said, I think it's going to be a high number. 65.

Post by tmann3x on Aug 31, 2023 21:45:04 GMT -5
[DING]65 out of 100 say they admitted they had eaten some else's food. What do you think of that answer, George... higher or lower?
|
|
|
Post by bighornbattle on Sept 1, 2023 4:43:30 GMT -5
I say Higher.
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 8:47:20 GMT -5
Any reason why you think it's higher, George?
|
|
|
Post by bighornbattle on Sept 1, 2023 13:35:49 GMT -5
Because it also happened to me a long time ago.

Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 14:37:41 GMT -5
OK. [DING]If it's higher, you'll be playing your cards. If not, Kevin will be playing his cards. If one of you gets an answer on the nose, we'll give you a $1,000 bonus. And the actual number of office workers say they had admitted they have eaten someone else's food from the fridge without their permission is... [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]
37. It is not higher... it is lower. Now that Kevin had won the Hi Lo toss-up question, he'll begin with his base card... an 8. Do you want to play on your 8 or change it, Kevin? [AUDIENCE SHOUTS SUGGESTIONS]

Post by koopakid17 on Sept 1, 2023 17:25:44 GMT -5
Change that eight!
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 17:42:47 GMT -5
Whenever you win the question, you have the right to change your 8 into... a King. Great change, Kevin. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE] Call on your King higher or lower...

That's more like it, lower!

Higher, Tony!

Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 21:26:45 GMT -5
Higher than a 4... [DING, APPLAUSE]a 7. Do you want to play on that dangerous middle card or freeze, Kevin?
|
|
|
Post by koopakid17 on Sept 1, 2023 21:27:23 GMT -5
Freezing!
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 21:45:25 GMT -5
And we'll move the freeze bar for Kevin... protecting his cards from the opposing player. Coming up after the break, we'll have question 2 ready for our challenger George. We'll have more cards, cash and surprises headed your way when Card Sharks returns following this commerical time out. Don't go away...

*fade to promo* [COMMERCIAL CUE]Bob Hilton: Today's players, stand-by participants and all audience members get a copy of Card Sharks... the official board game of Card Sharks from Endless Games. And, once again... here's Tony.[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, Bob. Welcome back to Card Sharks. For those of you who had tuned in, here's what the board looks like. So far, our champion is in the lead and needs just two cards to win the first round of the match while our challenger George haven't touched his cards yet. We'll resume the first round with our next question for our challenger. *grabs card* George... we asked 100 people: IF YOU OVERSLEPT ON YOUR FIRST DAY AT A NEW JOB, WOULD YOU LIE ABOUT WHY YOU WERE LATE?How many of them said they would lie?
|
|
|
Post by bighornbattle on Sept 1, 2023 22:20:25 GMT -5
I would say not many would lie because they say honesty is the best policy. I definitely would not lie. I say 26 of them would.
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 22:47:39 GMT -5
[DING]26 out of 100 say they would like about why they were late. What do you think, Kevin... higher or lower?
|
|
|
Post by koopakid17 on Sept 1, 2023 22:58:16 GMT -5
First impressions are everything. I don't think a new employee would want to lie to save face. It'll be even lower.
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 23:15:32 GMT -5
[DING]I had that experience a decade ago... and it wasn't a pretty sight. Anyhow, George says 26 and Kevin says it's lower. The actual number of people say they lie about why they were late is... [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]58. Not lower... it is higher. And this time, it's George's turn. And he'll begin with... a 5. Do you want to play in your 5 or change it, George?
|
|
|
Post by bighornbattle on Sept 1, 2023 23:17:10 GMT -5
I will change it please.
|
|
|
Post by tmann3x on Sept 1, 2023 23:24:13 GMT -5
Changing the 5... your card is now... Yikes... it's an 8. [AUDIENCE GROANS]Call on your 8 higher or lower, George.
