It is with a heavy heart that I disqualify Michael Clifford and strip him of his winnings. The Cash Jackpot is now at $895,000; but someone's going to win it. Where there is life, there's hope.
Jon, Brian, I'd like to invite both of you to come back and play this episode if you wish. We also need a third player.

To put it very shortly and succinctly, Michael threatened violence on Hunter (gamecrazyh, who is off the forum now, but is still a devoted fan of this show) on the NGA Nominations thread. The group (Leaf, Cameron, Tony, and Doug) suggested a temporary ban that is set to expire on 5-27 at 6 AM EDT. I was in the group at the time, so I was advised to write a disclaimer and strip him of his lot win in case he actually does get banned permanently. The win is also DQed from the 2016 NGAs.

[OPENING THEME] Charlie Tuna: (VO) Tonight, on America's biggest bargain sale, we're offering an Aston Martin valued at $156,289 for $530!
All the prizes, plus a cash jackpot of $895,000 for $750!
Two of the incredible bargains on......
(echo)  And now, here's the star of our show...... Greg Palmer!(the doors open and I run to my lectern)Greg: Thank you very much. Thank you, Charlie. Welcome once again to $ale of the Century. If you were with us on the last show, you saw Michael win the lot and over $1.2 million in cash and prizes. However...... however, it is with a sad and heavy heart that I must announce that while doing the paperwork, we received a number of calls regarding Michael. It seemed he'd been involved in something that he shouldn't have been involved in, so he was disqualified and his total was donated to a few worthy causes here in Los Angeles. The Cash Jackpot now stands at $895,000; and we have invited Jon Darrall and Brian Henegar back. Welcome, gentlemen. (audience cheers) I know both of you were there when Michael was DQed, and you're probably as shocked as I am. |

Yeah, it's a huge shocker to me. However, I am grateful that I have been invited back, and I will do my best to make the most of a bad situation.

As will we. Jon, you're in an interesting situation, as you already have a trip to Austria and cash. That is yours to keep, of course. Is there anything you'd like to say before we bring in a new challenger for you two?

I hope so, too. And here to introduce the challenger is Stacey Wren! (Stacey comes out to cheers and applause) Hiya, Stacey. Stacey: (in an American accent) Well hi, there. I'm working on this new accent.Greg: It's working for you. What are you doing, auditioning for something? Stacey: Could be. Could be.Greg: Good. Well then, who is our challenger? (as the doors open, the challenger is escorted by a model to his seat)Stacey: He's a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Please welcome Matt Ringgenberg. (cheers and applause) Greg: Thank you very much. So Matt...... what's been happening lately? |

Nothing much. I'm as much as shocked that Michael had been disqualified after all that hard work winning the lot.

(cheers and applause) [FAME GAME]Time for the Fame Game. Players are competing for control of the board. Looking for a famous person. I am a Canadian-born MC, producer, actor, singer and sportscaster. I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Orthodox Jewish parents who owned a slaughterhouse. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Manitoba, where I majored in chemistry and zoology. I started my career in Winnipeg in radio, moving to Toronto in 1946. I later hosted two kids' shows and co-hosted the Saturday night segment of the NBC Radio Network weekend program Monitor from 8 p.m. until midnight from 1956-60. My really big break came when I replaced Jack Narz as the host of Video Village, which later led to me creating my own game show. A probability puzzle is named after me, but it's all moot because I'd never let you switch doors.(buzzcode and answer, please) |
