Stacey: Behind the number three.



Greg: This is your chance to break away, Jay. Good luck, and fire when ready. (a letter between A-I that hasn't already been chosen, please)

Gotta hit the $25, Ka-BOOM (D)

Charlie: (VO) This TV. This 17" high-definition television is impervious to water and humidity. All of the television components are sealed in a waterproof exterior that enables you to watch 720p high-definition content in a shower or home spa. The scratch-proof screen is heat-treated to prevent fog and condensation on the glass and the integrated dual 3-watt speakers are o-ring sealed to prevent water penetration while allowing optimal sound resonance. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer.



(cheers and applause)


Greg: That's a great prize, Jay. It's worth $1,400. Very useful. One thing I'd like to point out is that most of the prize cues on this show are from production music libraries. That's cool.


We finish up the game with the $100 Speed Round. May I have 10 questions on the clock, please?




Hunter: $42
Jay: $45
John: $46

[10]

And it is a horse race, ladies and gentlemen. We come now to the home stretch. Hunter is at $42, Jay at $45, John at $46. Every question is important. Good luck as we begin the Speed Round..... now!

9. What brand marketed the first instant coffee in 1950?
(buzzcode: 33)
*Jay buzzes in (65)*

Stop the clock!

I'm getting something that says this: "George Constant Louis Washington developed his own instant coffee process shortly thereafter, and first marketed it commercially (1910). The Nescafé brand, which introduced a more advanced coffee refining process, was launched in 1938." The question therefore is thrown out. I've got to be fair. No money is added or subtracted. We have the last question.... now!

(time's up)




Time's up AND JOHN WINS BY A DOLLAR!




[WIN CUE]
(cheers and applause)


[BGM MUSIC]



(I clutch my heart) Oh, I don't know if I can take any more of this. That was a heartstopper if ever there was one. Wouldn't you agree, John?

[Deleted]

Oh I can agree with that!

[Deleted]

An Upset, Noooo!!!

(I started crying)

[palmer7]

Awww, don't cry, Jay. Someone get this man a handkerchief. 


I'm happy to report that no one is leaving us empty-handed. Hunter, you have an air conditioning unit and the $52 in cash in front of you. That gives you a total of $4,572 for the day, plus some parting gifts and our thanks for playing. 


Jay, you did rather well yourself. You have that car, and the TV for your shower, plus the $65 in front of you. You did very well for the day.



$26,465



$26,465 in cash and prizes. Do you feel better about that?

[Deleted]

Oh well I was stunned

(He accidentally hits the buzzer with his head)
(Audience Laughs)

[Deleted]

Um... Could someone get Jay an ice pack? I think he banged his head on that buzzer pretty hard. Anyway, Greg, all I have to say is I'm glad I bought something today.

[palmer7]

While we get first aid for Jay, John Lopez and I are going shopping!


(Let's Go Shopping! cue plays)
(cheers and applause)
(John joins me by the doors as they open and we walk inside)



I don't think we've ever had a match as close as that in all the time I've been hosting. Well done, John. Your thoughts on the match?

[Deleted]

Well, it was a nailbiter, I'll admit.

[palmer7]

Well, the good news is you won another game. The bad news is that you don't have enough for the T-Rex skull. However, there is still a lovely trip for four to the Grand Cayman you could take and leave us with.






On the other hand, you're only $24 shy of the T-Rex skull. Plus, we have some other great prizes, including this boat!


(Mitch and Jeff go fishing on this boat)







Charlie: (VO) Take to the open water with this power boat! It's the 2016 TRACKER® Targa™ V-20 WT. This big-water beast is packed with fishing features that will make trolling, jigging, or casting a breeze, and the storage space is unparalleled. It comes with a 150 XL FourStroke engine and trailer, and the most durable and color-fast boat finish in the industry. And beneath the deck, a welded-in aluminum stringer system and box beam, all-aluminum transom create a rock-solid substructure. Furnished by Tracker Boats. It's normally priced at....



$34,420


But is yours on $ale of the Century for only....


$335



(audience cheers)



Greg: Now that's a nice prize. Do you live anywhere near enough water to make it worth your while?

[Deleted]

Well Titusville is right on the coast of the Indian River.

[palmer7]

Oh, well then you do. Of course, I'm sure you'd also like these.



[WHERE'S THE WALRUS V1]









Charlie: John, these are more than just used cars, these are legends! $ale of the Century presents three of the finest Porsches ever created. The 2007 Porsche Boxster base, the 1993 Porsche 928 GTS, and the 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa! All of these cars are expertly maintained and have undergone fluid & pressure checks, tire rotations, trickle charging and regular servicing. In addition, we will give you $5,000 in cash to pay for shipping fees and maintenance. Furnished by Exotic Classics.



This package is normally priced at....

$157,300


Yours for only....



$530



(audience cheers)



Greg: And if you get to $750, you get all the prizes plus this!



(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


Charlie: (VO) Tonight's Cash Jackpot is at a sensational...






(audience cheers)




Greg: That's worth over $1.2 million in cash and prizes. Do you want some time to think over your decision?

[Deleted]

Greg, I think it's clear I've got some work to do to reach the Lot. I'm coming back tomorrow!

[palmer7]

He's coming back tomorrow, folks! (Horn fanfare plays as we shake hands on it) The cash jackpot goes up to $910,000. We've got some time to kill, and we're going to kill it after these messages!



(main theme to commercial)
(cheers and applause)
(fade to commercial)

---

(main theme closes, cheers and applause)



So, John, we have about three or so minutes to kill. How do you want to kill them?

[Deleted]

Uh, well is there anything really fun to mess around with on set?

[palmer7]

Well, let's see if we can't find something. Um..... there's the Fame Game board. (off-mic direction) No, we can't do that. The director wants to do the pan-out wide shot of the stage. Well, he can't do that. As host of this show, I say, we're going to play with the Fame Game board. Stay tuned now for America's Got Talent, and come back tomorrow for two new challengers. Thanks for watching. Keep smiling, and bye for now!


(John and I exit the shopping area, I turn on the lights, and we mess around with the Fame Game board)
