Doug: And we're back with Net Poker. It's Chico vs. Brian in our final round of...
|
Doug: ...Joker Poker. Players, this works just like the earlier round -- except that we've added a couple of Jokers to the deck. When you get a Joker, you can use it for anything when your poker hand is complete. The player with the higher point total at the end of the round wins the game and the chance to play Deuces Wild Poker for CY$75,000. (audience cheers) Love to see it happen. Chico, since you won the first round, you got to cut the cards during the break. D.J. will now show us the first two up cards.
D.J.: And here we go with...
  |
D.J.: ...the King of Diamonds and the 9 of Diamonds
Doug: Now for the first question of the round, gentlemen. Good luck.
Episodes of Captain Kangaroo aired on...

Doug: We should note this question was prepared before we learned of the death of Bob Keeshan, the man who played the title role on Captain Kangaroo. Chico, which card?
Chico: Give me the King.
Doug: Thought as much. We should also note as CBS wanted to air news in the morning, the network shortened Captain Kangaroo from an hour to a half hour and relaunched the show as Wake Up With The Captain.

Doug: All we'll say is this -- Dave Letterman's right when he says you can't spell "bumbling executives" without "CBS". (audience laughs and applauds) OK, end of rant. Deej, next two cards, please.
D.J.: All righty...
  |
D.J.: ...the 9 of Hearts and the 10 of Hearts.
Doug: And we'll go from kiddie shows to sports talk...

Doug: The Last Word, by the way, was on Fox Sports Net. OK, Chico, which card now?
Chico: I'll take the ten.
Doug: OK. That means Brian gets...
|
BRIAN
|
Doug: ...a pair of 9's out of the deal. Third pair of cards now from D.J.
D.J.: Next items up for bids are... (light laughter)
  |
D.J.: ...the King of Hearts and the Joker.
Doug: Well. Interesting situation. Next question...

\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Chico.
Chico: made her debut as Vicki in "Vacation"?
Doug: Good guess. You're right.

Doug: She played Betty, who wasn't married to Barney Rubble at the time, in The Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas. OK, Chico, which card?
Chico: JOKER! JOKER!
Doug: And you don't give Brian a triple...

BRIAN

Doug: ...Brian, you're gonna have to get some good cards and get on the scoreboard here. Let's see what's next from the deck.
D.J.: Up next for grabs are...
  |
D.J.: ...the Queen of Clubs and the Queen of Diamonds.
Doug: A pair of ladies come with this question...
In the year 1972,...
\ HBO went on the air
\ the video game Pong was created
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: All of the Above
Doug: And you're on the scoreboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: And go ahead and pick a card.
Brian: I'll take the Queen of Clubs.
Doug: And with Chico getting the other Queen...
|
BRIAN
|
Doug: ...I'm afraid Chico's going to end up with the 25 points for high hand. With the blind cards pending, the best Brian could do is three 9's. If Chico got a King, Queen or 10, that's three of a kind with three 10's being the worst case scenario; if Chico got an Ace, Jack, 9 or Joker, he's got a straight. So, tell ya what let's do. Deej, let's just got through the motions and set up for the blind cards...
 |
Doug: ...now, for formality's sake, we'll make this question worth 15 points and we'll also throw in a chance to win CY$250. I'll 'splain later. But first, the question...
Actress Neve Campbell was a cast member of...
\ the movie Scream
\ the sitcom Married with Children
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: The Movie "Scream"
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) Now, pick a card and we'll give you a shot at CY$250.
Brian: I'm taking the card on the left.
Doug: OK. For CY$250, do you think the left card's suit's color will be red or black? If you pick "red" and the card's of Hearts or Diamonds, you win CY$250; if you pick black and the card's of Clubs or Spades, that's CY$250. If you're wrong either way on the prediction, no 250. So, which color?
Brian: I think it'll be colored black.
Doug: Black it is. Deej, show us Brian's 5th card and if he wins CY$250?
 |
Doug: Nope. It's red. And the Queen gives you two pair. Chico, you get for your fifth card...
 |
Doug: ...the Jack of Hearts. With the Joker, we'll make it an Ace for a straight and you have won the game 55-to-25. (winning bells; audience applause) D.J.'s going to go ahead and add these cards to your hands just to make it all legit. As she does, Brian, we thank you for playing. You got CY$750 earlier in the game and you take that with our thanks and best wishes. A nice hand for Brian Moore. (audience applause)
|
BRIAN
|
Doug: And there you see it. A straight beating two pair. OK, Chico. Now, you get a shot at CY$10,000. This time, I want you to pick *two* letters in "POKER". If you draw CY$5000 and CY$2000, we'll kick in and extra CY$3000 for finding the two highest amounts. Total payoff -- CY$10,000.
Chico: That's OK!
Doug: OK. Going for the letters O and K. What's behind O, first?
|
Doug: Yowza! (a few hoots and hollers from the crowd) CY$5000 right there. If K's hiding CY$2000, you got the full 10-grand.
|
Doug: Well, 500. Still a nice payoff.
|

(audience cheers) (smooth jazz theme plays)
Doug: Total of CY$6500 and a chance at CY$75,000 when we come back!
(more cheers and applause)
