Doug: We're back on Net Poker. We'll start the Joker Poker round in a moment and see if Tom or Noiel will become the new champion. First, we told you before the break Elvis never won a Grammy in rock or country categories. Get this, he won Grammys for his work in -- Gospel. Interesting stuff. In any event, let's start...
JOKER |
Doug: ...Joker Poker. Noiel won the first round and Tom the second. The high scorer in this round wins the game, the championship and plays Deuces Wild Poker for CY$52,500. (audience cheers) Now, this works exactly like the last round except that we have two Jokers in the deck along with the other 24 cards. If you draw a Joker, you can substitute it for anything when your hand is complete. Remember, the new car bonus is in effect for a natural royal flush. But, if you draw a Joker, you automatically take yourself out of the running for the car. Noiel you got to cut the cards during the break and now D.J. will show us the first two up cards for this important round.
  |
D.J.: The Queen of Hearts and the 10 of Hearts. Already, we can't give away a car.
Doug: Indeed. Well, the royal flush is tough to achieve -- hence the major reward.
D.J.: So, can I take the car out for a test drive after the show?
Doug: Eh, we'll see. But let's finish this game first. And we start the round with this question...

Noiel: is set in Llanview
Doug: Yes indeed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Which card would you like to start with?
Noiel: I'll take the lady.
NOIEL
|
Doug: The Queen for Noiel, Tom gets the 10 and now we get to see the next two cards from Deej.
  |
D.J.: The 10 of Spades and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: Weird. It's a new deck -- but we still haven't seen an Ace since Video Poker. Anyhoo, back to the questions and this...
In the year 1979...
\ the Cincinnati Reds won the World Series
\ Soap debuted on TV
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Tom.
Tom: none of the above
Doug: Right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: In '79, the Pirates won the World Series and Benson debuted on TV. Tie ball game. Tom, which card?
Tom: 10 Spades
Doug: The 10's yours.
|
NOIEL
|
Doug: A pair of 10s for Tom and a pair of Hearts for Noiel. What's next, Deej?
  |
D.J.: The Jack of Diamonds and the 9 of Spades.
Doug: Goodness. Best card we've seen is the Queen in this round. Let's see how this turns out...
Broadcast journalist John Chancellor served as anchor of...
\ NBC Nightly News
\ Good Morning America
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Noiel.
Noiel: "NBC Nightly News"
Doug: Correct.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: He also hosted NBC's Today show in 1961 succeeding Dave Garroway. OK, Noiel, which card?
Noiel: I guess my best route is to take the nine.
Doug: At the rate we're going...
|
NOIEL
|
Doug: ...that's probably a good move. Deej, what cards are next?
  |
D.J.: The King of Spades and the Jack of Clubs.
Doug: Still no Aces -- but we got close on the left. Another question...
The song "Cat's In The Cradle" was a hit for...
\ Faster Pussycat
\ Harry Chapin
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Noiel.
Noiel: Harry Chapin
Doug: Correct.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tom: Who the devil is Faster Pussycat
Doug: I think it was won of those big hair '80s bands. Anyhoo, the song was remade in the '90s by Ugly Kid Joe. Which card, Noiel?
Noiel: I'll take the Jack
Doug: And as we add the knave to your hand...
|
NOIEL
|
Doug: ... Tom's building on a pair of 10s, Noiel has a pair of Jacks. Blind card time again...
 |
Doug: And for Tom, the shoe's on the other foot. You came into the last blind card question leading 30-to-10 and won that round. Here, you're on the other side of the 30-to-10 score. So, if Noiel chimes in with the right answer, he's got the game automatically. Here comes the question...
Father Edward Joseph Flanagan...
\ founded Boys Town
\ was born in Dublin, Ireland
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Tom.
Tom: I'm going to go with all of the above
Doug: No, sorry. Noiel, chance to become the champ if you can tell me.
Noiel: founded Boys Town
Doug: You are the new champion!
