Since I only tested one of the several changes I made to this format, safe to call this the pilot. On Monday, at some point, I am going to launch this pilot episode for the fall season of The Joker's Wild! I cannot wait to show the new dynamic production and the new format. If you need a refresher of the rules, click here. Everything's still the same, except for the types of questions I'll use in the opening game, which I found to be problematic. I'm still scrapping pieces of the game together, but for the most part I's ready. I need 3 willing participants por favor! |

(Opening theme)
Bob Hilton: From Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king, and lady luck is queen. It's the all-new... Joker's Wild Hour!
(Cheers)
With the star of The Joker's Wild Hour...Immanuel Tims!
(Cheers)
Tally ho! Welcome to The Joker's Wild Hour! This is a brand new spinoff of your favorite slot-machine based trivia game, where you spin that board, answer some questions, and win a whole bunch of cash! For the next hour, we'll introduce some new games that we think you folks at home will enjoy, and give our players the chance to win a ton of cash and prizes! Without further ado, Bob could you introduce our very first players for the hour? (Contestants cue)
 Bob: Sure thing, Immanuel! First, he's a cashier at a retail store, and loves to bowl in his spare time! From Eden Prairie, Minnesota, meet...Nels Snesrud!
Second, he's a mahjong player, who loves to sing and watch game shows! Hopefully, The Joker's Wild is among his favorites. From Spartanburg, South Carolina...meet George Cluster!
Finally, he's a supermarket clerk from Iowa, meet...Matt Ringgenberg!(Cheers)
Welcome to the show, gentlemen! Great to have the three of you here! We'll find out about you guys as we play our little game here, which we'll actually get to right now! Fellas, I'll tell you right now that only two of you will be going to the second half of the show to compete head-to-head for the championship. The winner of said second half gets to play our Joker's Jackpot minigame, that can pay off up to $10,000...before going on to Face the Devil which can award you prizes worth more than $50,000! (Cheers)
What we'll do right now is the opening game, that can determine how much money you can win in the first half of the show! I'll explain how to claim that dough in a moment, but first let's set the values. Nels, you signed up first so you'll be going first! Come on over to the giant lever! (Applause)
Nels, nice to have you here with us tonight. Bob said you love to bowl. How long have you bowled for? |

I think you misinterpreted my question, how did you pick up bowling, like what was your motivation?

I just like bowling

Understandable. If you like something, you'll keep at it. Good luck in your bowling career and in tonight's match.  Right now, you see that the windows are empty, but that's only temporary. You'll pull that lever, the windows will spin, then will display cash values. Each window will be added together, and it's up to you if you want to keep that value or throw it back to try again for something higher, but you only get up to 3 spins. Good luck, Nels. Pull that lever! |

*windows spin*  $800...$600...$400! *applause* Hey, that's a pretty good score! That's $1,800 for you Nels. Now, you can make up to $2,400 on any one spin here, so you can take the $1,800 you just spin, or throw it all back to gamble it and see if you can get a higher score. What say you, Nels? *audience shouts suggestions* |

Throwing away $1,800. Nels, take your second spin! *wheels spin*  $500...$200...$200. That's $900. *audience groans* That's half of what you had previously. Now Nels, you only have one spin remaining. You can take that $900 and stop here, or you can throw it away and take one last spin. How do you want to play it? *audience shouts suggestions* |

Last chance to pick up some dough. Let's hope for a big one! *wheels spin*  *audience cheers* Oh, good thing you did spin again! That's $2,300! $100 less than the top value! And that's your last spin, you gotta stop right here. *applause*  That can be hard to beat, but in this game it's not necessarily who has the most money. I'll explain why in a moment. George, it's your turn! Come on over here! *cheers* George, tell us about yourself please |

Well, I am from Spartanburg, SC. I enjoy playing Mahjong for over 10 years, do word searches, and sing. When I am not doing those 3 things I enjoy watching game shows, listen to news music across the USA (Which counterpoint is my all time favorite due to the beat.), and play games. I just recently got into the Teen Titans comics. I have a few friends rooting for me in the audience.

*cheers* We have a fan group already! Welcome to the show, guys! Hopefully the show's as popular in Titan-land as it is here. Good luck to you, George: You'll do the same thing Nels did, you're going to take up to 3 spins of these slides here. Cash lingers in all 3 slides with no penalties, you can take the spin you received or throw it back to try and win more cash. Good luck George, pull that lever! |

*wheels spin*  $500...$100...and another $500. That's $1,100. If you take this, you'd be in second place, but Matt still has to spin. Do you wanna take the money or give it back? *audience shouts suggestions* |

Give it back please.

Alright, spin number 2 underway! *wheels spin*  $600, $700, $300. That's $1,600, which is a lot better, but you'd still be in second. Doesn't mean too much at this point in the game, but you want to take the $1,600 or try to get some more loot? *audience shouts suggestions* |

Then you have $1,600! *applause, ding*  That takes care of you for the moment as we now introduce Matt Ringgenberg! *cheers* Matt, how are you? |
