Joker Poker

Doug: We're back on Net Poker. We'll begin our search for a new champion in just a moment. But first, how'd you do with our question we asked just before the break? There were two winners of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. One was Anwar Sadat. The other -- Menachem Begin of Israel. Mother Teresa was a winner of the Prize in 1979.

 

JOKER

Doug: And now, let's see if Marc or Alan will get the champion's crown in Joker Poker. Gentlemen, this works exactly like the Five-Card Poker round -- except that there are two jokers in the deck that Marc cut after he won the first round. If you're fortunate to get a Joker, you may use it for anything when your poker hand is complete. The high-scoring player at the end of this round wins the game and then plays our Deuces Wild Poker round for CY$67,500. (audience cheers) OK, Deej, show us the first two up cards for this round, please.

D.J.: The 10 of Hearts and the Jack of Diamonds.

Doug: And here's our first question of the round. Good luck, everyone...

The bra was invented...
\ by a teen-aged New York socialite
\ in the year 1900
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Alan buzzes in)

Doug: Alan.

Alan: none of the above

Doug: Sorry, not right. Marc, want to try?

Marc: by a teen-aged New York socialite

Doug: Got it.

 

 

 

MARC
ALAN

(audience applause)

Doug: OK, Marc, which card?

Marc: Give me the Jack.

 

MARC


ALAN


Doug: Jack's yours and Alan gets the 10. And we get another pair of up cards.

D.J.: The 9 of Diamonds and the King of Spades.

Doug: Okie doke, next query for 10...

The company that makes the most clothing each year is...
\ Levi's
\ Hanes
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Alan buzzes in)

Doug: Alan.

Alan: Hanes

Doug: Not right. Marc, want to try? (time passes) (buzz) Answer's "none of the above". Believe it or not, the company that makes the most clothing each year is Mattel -- for all those Barbie dolls. The company that makes D.J.'s threads ranks second. (light laughter) What this means is the 9 of Diamonds and King of Spades remain up for grabs on this new 10-point question...

Janet Guthrie became the first woman to race in the...
\ World of Outlaws
\ Indianapolis 500
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Alan buzzes in)

Doug: Alan.

Alan: all of the above

Doug: Not right. Marc, another free shot.

Marc: (buzzing in) Indianapolis 500

Doug: Got it.

 

 

 

MARC
ALAN

(audience applause)

Doug: Which card, Marc?

Marc: Give me the 9.

 

MARC


ALAN


Doug: Going for the flush, I see. Maybe even a straight flush. Deej, next pair, please.

D.J.: Well, so much for a straight flush. The Ace of Diamonds and the 10 of Clubs.

Doug: And here's the (looks at card; starts to giggle) OK, who's behind this one?

D.J.: Oh, is that the one that starts "Doug Morris is the name of..."?

Doug: Yeah. Did you write this one?

(D.J. smirks and nods) (light laughter from the crowd)

Doug: Huh-kay. Lemme preface this by saying the "Doug Morris" in this question doesn't involve me. With that said, the next question...

Doug Morris is the name of...
\ an actor who was in the final episode of Seinfeld
\ a record company executive
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Alan buzzes in)

Doug: Alan.

Alan: none of the above

Doug: Not right. Marc, another chance to steal. (time passes) (buzz) "That other Doug Morris" is a record company exec. He's the chair and CEO of Universal Music Group. Oh, and his administrative assistant's name is D.J. Hamilton.

(audience laughs)

D.J.: Is not!

Doug: Of course not. I'm kidding. OK, players, this means the same Ace and 10 are still up for grabs. Next question...

According to the rules in NFL football,...
\ a safety is worth three points
\ a touchdown is worth six points
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Marc buzzes in)

Doug: Marc.

Marc: a touchdown is worth six points

Doug: Correct.

 

 

 

MARC
ALAN

(audience applause)

Doug: The rare safety is worth two points. OK, Marc, working on a shutout. Which card?

Marc: Give me the 10.

Doug: Denying Alan the pair...

MARC


ALAN


Doug: ...but giving him an Ace in the process. We'll see if that was a wise decision. Deej, what's up next?

D.J.: The 10 of Spades and the 9 of Spades.

Doug: Interesting. Well, Marc's going to get a pair of something, we know for sure. But a pair of what? We'll find out after this next 10 point question...

Blink 182 is the name of a...
\ rock trio from California
\ movie starring Timothy Hutton
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Alan buzzes in)

Doug: Alan.

Alan: Rock trio from california

Doug: Got one!

 

 

 

MARC
ALAN

(audience applause)

Doug: The movie with Timothy Hutton was *Turk* 182. OK, which card, Alan?

Alan: take the 10

Doug: The 10's yours and now...

MARC


ALAN


Doug: ...you have a pair of 10s with two other good, high cards. Marc, you have a pair of 9s and now it's time for the 15-point blind card query...

Doug: ...Alan, you'll need to score on this question in order to stay in the running. Marc, if you collect the 15 points on this one, you're off to the Deuces Wild round to play for CY$67,500. Big question on the way...

Britney Spears was a cast member of...
\ Saved By The Bell
\ California Dreams
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Alan buzzes in)

Doug: Alan.

Alan: none of the above

Doug: Brit was in the cast of... The Mickey Mouse Club. You're still in the game.

 

 

 

MARC
ALAN

(audience applause)

Doug: OK, Alan. 25 points are up for grabs for the better hand. Which card would you like to complete *yours* with.

Alan: I'll take the right card

MARC


ALAN


Doug: OK. Marc obviously gets the left card by default. Alan, if you've drawn the 10 of Diamonds or a Joker, looks like you'll have the game sewn up. Deej, show us Alan's fifth card please.

MARC


ALAN


Doug: A lady in black. Still with a pair of 10s. Marc, over to you. Another 9 or a Joker give you three of a kind and the win. Another Jack or that remaining 10 gives you two pair and the win. Anything else and Alan's the new champ. The game rides on this turn of the card from Deej.
