MATCH GAME/HOLLYWOOD SQUARES HOUR [NBC/Peacock] - Episode 58

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter)

Doug: Fish and chips, eh? There's a *really* funny answer if you think about it. Let's see if they thought of yours, mine, or something else. Kevin, we start with you.

Kevin: All he wanted was some protection. He thought he was getting a…

(buzz) (scattered applause)

Doug: In this day and age, can't be too careful. Bill, what was Derwood expecting in his trial of BritBox?

Bill: (card) King Charles

(buzz) (scattered applause)

Doug: All hail the king -- but not fish and chips as we go to Tyrone.

Tyrone: What's more British and Box-like than...

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: Now *that* makes sense -- and sounds like we've got some Whovians in the crowd. No one's come to Matt's answer -- or mine -- as we visit Tony.

Dumb Derwood is SO dumb, when he ordered a trial of BritBox, he was expecting BLANK to arrive in a big box.

Tony: One size fits all...

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: Huh kay, lemme test the judge. Had Matt said "TARDIS", would that answer match Tony's and Tyrone's answers?

(ding)

Doug: Because that's what Tyrone and Tony are implying with "Doctor Who Phone Booth" or words to that effect. With that clarified, we go to Hunter.

Hunter: Dumb Derwood was also expecting a case with a million dollars in it to be included.

(buzz) (scattered laughter from crowd)

Doug: No deal. And Sam, last chance for fish and chips.

Sam: Everyone's favorite Brit redhead...

(buzz) (more laughter from crowd)

Doug: Another Prince Harry. My answer wasn't even British.

I was thinking Derwood took BritBox in a different literal direction. When he started his trial subscription of BritBox, he was anticipating the arrival of -- Britney Spears.

(scattered laughter and groans)

Doug: Welp -- look at it this way -- our guests are doing our guests a major solid. The stars get to play all the Match Game questions.

(panel and audience cheer)

Doug: Round 3 coming up. Trust me. One of these folks *will* go to Squares. Find out who after this.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)

GEORGE GRAY:  Closed Captioning paid for, in part, by the following--

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Round 3 starting.

(pushes button revealing questions)

Huh kay, folks. Let's get the show on the road for real. Matt, by rule, please start by choosing A or B.

[mringgenberg]

B

[dougmorrisontheair]

B it is -- and with the score still knotted at nil, all the stars get to play both questions -- including this one. (scans card) Oh, do we have any Fallout fans?

(scattered cheers)

Cool. I think you'll like this.

Gossip columnist Roma Garrett interviewed Walton Goggins about Amazon Prime's adaptation of "Fallout". She asked Walton if he enjoyed filming the series. Walton said, "Of course. I had an absolute BLANK."


(audience laughs and applauds)
(think music plays)

[tmann3x]

And Hunter has less than 3 hours left to PM his response...

[gameshowfan1995]

Sorry, Personal stuff completely got in the way.

------------

*inserts card*

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, Hunter's in. With everyone ready, Matt, here comes the question again. And -- this really isn't a question. It's a book.

Blast

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: That's the way to play it. Even if you haven't seen the show but play the games, you're well aware blasts are a thing. I have a hunch at least one green triangle's about to light up. Let's see if we get a match with Kevin.

Kevin: Fallout happens before the...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Hey now -- just like that. One match already. Bill, do you make it two?

Bill: (Card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: And there's two. Tyrone, we're cooking now. Do you make it three?

Tyrone: Alright, I'm done playing around. I'm putting all of you on...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Matched everyone in Bill's row. Now let's visit Tony's row. Tony?

Tony: Kaboom...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's *four*. Hunter?

Hunter: The only thing that makes sense...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's five. Sam, if you make it unanimous, Matt wins a $400 bonus.

Sam: (makes bomb explosion noise)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Perfecto!

Doug: Well, Matt, that's all there is. There are no more stars to match in Match Game.

Doug: Bryan, you've got to repeat that feat just to tie.

[tmann3x]

April, Matt and Chris... be on standby for The Hollywood Squares.

BTW, I need 2 panelists and 2 contestants for The New Battlestars test pilot!

[tmann3x]

Sam is missing the deadline?!

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Let's allow Bryan extra response time. I just now realized I didn't put Bryan's question here. The celebs got it in PM. Bryan's just now seeing this for the first time. My bad.]

---

And here we go -- last question in Match Game -- pending the tie-break.

Ed said, "Channel 72 must be desperate for ratings. The station hired Well-Endowed Wanda to anchor weather segments. Leave to her to keep the station's audience BLANK of the forecast."


(audience laughs and applauds)
(think music plays)

(stars write)

Waiting on Sam there.

All right, Sam's ready.

Bryan, need to run the table just to send this to a tie-breaker.

Abreast

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Doug: That's the way to play it. If that's the way all six of these folks played it, we're going to a tie-break. Kevin, let's begin with you.

Kevin: We'll be seeing the moon on (card) abreast of the new-fallen snow!

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: One down, five to go. Over to Bill, now.

Bill: Definitive answer...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Two matches. Four away from the tie-break. Tyrone?

Tyrone: Really, writers? Weather girl jokes? (raises an eyebrow) Anyway...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: I know. The '70s called. They want their jokes back. Three for three so far. Tony?

Tony: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's four. Do you make it five, Hunter?

Hunter: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's five. Sam, if you make it unanimous, we're going to a tie-breaker. Otherwise, Matt goes to Hollywood Square.

Sam: Well-endowed indeed!

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Another perfecto.

Doug: Well, after two rounds of nothing, we've got two perfect scores.

---

(Matt and Bryan, please watch your PM inboxes for tie-breaker info.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Doug pushes button on toaster revealing tie-breaker setup)

Doug: Okay, first, let me give the stars the question.

______MUFFIN

BLANK MUFFIN. That's M-U-F-F-I-N. BLANK MUFFIN.

Doug: Matt and Bryan, up here on the toaster, we have four answers that can complete the phrase. Bryan, since you sent second in Round 1, the rules say you'll pick first in the tie-breaker. Matt, you'll then choose from the remaining three.

Doug: I'll then canvas the panel for answers. The moment a star matches your answer, you're $500 richer and you're heading for the Squares.

Bryan, please choose an answer by number only -- 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Bryan: 2.

Doug: (handing Bryan answer #2) All right, 2 is yours. Matt, of the remaining answers, would you like 1, 3, or 4?

Matt: 4.

Doug: (handing Matt answer #4) And 4 is yours.

Doug: Now when a star gives your answer, please let me know. Kevin, we start with you.

______MUFFIN

[koopakid17]

Blueberry muffin.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause; win music plays; MG-HSH theme plays)

And that's a winner for Bryan!

(players shake hands)

Bryan, please join me over here.

Matt, by the way, picked English muffin. Matt, $1000 cash and some fine gifts from the Match Game.

(more cheers; MG players' island rolls stage left; HS grid rolls in from stage right)

Bryan, not *too* much time to bask in this glory -- because we need to get ready for Hollywood Squares. The rest of the set's coming in. Three more stars are on the way. Tony and I will trade places.

Lot's more ahead. Stick around. The fun's just begun.

Steve, I heard a rumor that you're producing a test pilot that's coming to Peacock.  Care to spoil us what that show's called?

[tmann3x]

Since Steve is unavailable, I'll attempt to ask our co-host Doug.


Mr. Morris... what test pilot are we working on Peacock?

[asja2002]

*Steve Over the Intercom* We're bringing back "The New Battlestars" Our Pilot episode is airing right now on Peacock and we're working on a deal to hopefully pair it with "Mad Dash" in the Boston area on a independent station for Prime Time. All I can say is the sum of "4 and 3" is where we'll be in Boston

[tmann3x]

Thanks for the promo, Steve.  Our producer Steve Anderson...

(applause)


Right now, let's play The Hollywood Squares.

(cheers and applause)

And sitting in the X desk is our returning champion.  In just one day, he has amassed an all cash total of $68,350.  Please welcome him back to the program George Cluster.


(cheers and applause)


Mr. Cluster, please tell us about you for a moment.

[bighornbattle]

Well, I am from Spartanburg, SC. I enjoy singing, listening to news themes around the world, love 80s music, do word searches, play Mahjong for 20 years, and watch game shows. I even help the Teen Titans whenever possible.

[tmann3x]

Good luck, George.


During the commercial break, I had explained the rules to both players.  And remember... we'll continue playing the game until we hear the time's up bell.  Whoever is in the lead at the end of The Hollywood Squares will be playing the Super Match and a shot at spinning the star wheel for a chance to win up to $100,000.
