Up to $1,600, that's right. Glen and John, step up to the $500 challenge on LIVING KHANS.
She chose her exotic-sounding name while volunteering with the Black Panthers, serving breakfast to poor schoolkids in Chicago in the 1960s. In the 1970s and 1980s, she became one of the most legendary R&B vocalists, with hits like "Tell Me Something Good," "Ain't Nobody," and "I Feel For You." Name this singer.

A bit of a horse race indeed, although I'm more of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson version of Secretariat than the real one!  The only famous one I can think of is Frosty, so I'm curious...let's try Famous Snowmen, please. |

And now, the toss-up for $800 and control...
According to the holiday carol first popularized in 1950 by Gene Autry, Frosty the Snowman had what household object for a nose?

"With a corncob pipe and a BUTTON nose." That's right. You're at $3,700. You know the drill. What do you want to do?
- Choose THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN for $600.
- Choose OLAF THE SNOWMAN for $1,000.
- Choose another subject.
(Audience yells suggestions)

For a total of $4,300...
The Abominable Snowman really isn't known by that name outside of the English-speaking world. Indeed, in the Himalayas, he is known in local lore by what four-letter name?

Here's the question.
In "Frozen," Olaf the Snowman became the latest in a line of Disney comedic sidekicks portrayed by talented performers. In this instance, Olaf's voice was provided by a bespectacled actor known for his roles in Broadway's "The Book of Mormon" and in Adam Sandler's "Pixels." Name the actor.

Josh Gad, and on an additional note, he was a short-lived correspondent on "The Daily Show".

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) For this one, I'll give you some words in English, and you name the language of origin. Choose your region. (BONG-BONG-BONG!)
ASIAN LANGUAGES for $300
EUROPEAN LANGUAGES for $400
SOUTH AMERICAN LANGUAGES for $500

MATT ($1,600): EUROPEAN LANGUAGES for $400
GLEN ($1,000): EUROPEAN LANGUAGES for $400
JOHN ($5,300): SOUTH AMERICAN LANGUAGES for $500
John's the holdout, but he will go last. Matt and Glen, step up to the $400 challenge on EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.
The English words "aloof," "caboose," "knapsack," and "sketch" all originated from what Northwestern European language?

Well, being from Canada, I would have guessed that caboose originated here because that just sounds Canadian to me, eh? So, I've learned something today, which is always a good thing.
I'm not entirely sure, so this is a guess on my part, but aloof to me sounds like something the Dutch would say, so I'll say Dutch.

Me: (Sigh) If that was a guess...
Audience: IT WAS A GOOD ONE!
Me: They're good. You're right! It is from the Dutch. John, here's your $500 question on SOUTH AMERICAN LANGUAGES.
The English words "cocaine," "jerky," "potato," and "quinoa" are all derived from this native language of the Inca. Name this Peruvian language.

Nicely done! (Applause) John is at $5,800, Matt is at $1,600, and Glen is at $1,400. Final subject for the round is THE CHEROKEE INDIANS (CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!). Choose an aspect of their life and history. (BONG-BONG-BONG!)

THE LEADERS for $500

Post by jmdarrall on Aug 22, 2015 10:08:45 GMT -5
Here's what we've got.
MATT ($1,600): THE LEADERS for $500
GLEN ($1,400): THE LEADERS for $500
JOHN ($5,800): THE LEADERS for $500
(WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP! Applause as screens flash again) I don't believe it! We know what's going to happen. Double the dollar values...
THE LAWS for $600
THE LANGUAGE for $800
THE LEADERS for $1,000
...and, it's time for a $1,000 toss-up. For control of the other questions...
The Cherokee were the first Indian tribe to have a female chief. Appointed chief in 1985, she was re-elected several times over the next 10 years, until health concerns forced her to resign in 1995. Her last name denotes the fact that she's descended from powerful warriors, and is somewhat appropriate because she became her tribe's first female leader. The name of this late leader was Wilma...who?
