Joker Poker

Doug: We're back on Net Poker. Time for all-important Joker Poker round.

 


 

 

 

BARRY
ANDY

Doug: Plain and simple for Andy. He wins this round, he takes home CY$100,000 plus a new car -- and he clinches a berth in the Quarter Million Playoff. Barry, you got to cut the cards during the break. This round works just like 5-Card Poker -- except there are a couple of Jokers in the deck. Run into any Joker and you can use it for anything when you poker hand is complete. Deej, what are the first two cards for this all-important round.

D.J.: We're starting with...

D.J.: ...the Queen of Spades and the 10 of Hearts.

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

Carl Douglas is the first and last name of a...
\ singer who had a hit with the song "SuperFreak"
\ lawyer on O.J. Simpson's defense team when O.J. was on trial for murder
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Barry buzzes in)

Doug: Barry.

Barry: all of the above

Doug: Sorry, not right. Andy, chance to steal.

Andy: I will say .... lawyer on O.J. Simpson's defense team when O.J. was on trial for murder

Doug: That's right.

 

 

 

BARRY
ANDY

(audience applause)

Doug: The singer Carl Douglas had a hit with "Kung Fu Fighting". OK, Andy, you have the first points of the round. Which would you like for your first card?

Andy: I will take the Queen of Spades

Doug: Queen's yours...

 

BARRY


ANDY


Doug: ...Barry gets the 10 of Hearts. And we get two more cards. What are they Deej?

D.J.: They are...

D.J.: ...the Jack of Spades and the King of Spades.

Doug: Two face cards and this question for 10...

NASCAR's Pepsi 400 is also known as...
\ "the Super Bowl of stock car racing"
\ "the great American race"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Barry buzzes in)

Doug: Barry.

Barry: my answer is none of the above

Doug: My reaction -- you're right.

 

 

 

BARRY
ANDY

(audience applause)

Doug: Both of those phrases are associated with the Daytona 500. Barry, which card?

Barry: Either way, I'm screwed....I guess I will take the King...

Doug: King's yours. Fishhook goes to Andy.

 

BARRY


ANDY


Doug: Now, keep the faith, there may be a Joker or some good cards coming down the turnpike. Deej, what's next?

D.J.: And we have...

D.J.: ...the Queen of Clubs and the Ace of Clubs.

Doug: Interesting. Andy could have a pair of Queens. But, Barry could get 10 points and the points *do* matter here -- as opposed to Whose Line Is It Anyway? So, with that, the next query...

"Brandy" is the name of a hit song by...
\ Barry Manilow
\ The Lovin' Spoonful
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: I am going to say None of the Above

Doug: Yes indeed.

 

 

 

BARRY
ANDY

(audience applause)

Doug: We tried to trip you up with Looking Glass, who actually sang "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)". Barry Manilow had a hit with "Mandy". Andy, which rhymes with both Brandy and Mandy, I'll spare you an "Oprah-Uma" joke and ask which card you'd like.

Andy: I will take the Queen of Clubs

Doug: That gives you a pair of Queens...

 

BARRY


ANDY


Doug: ...Barry's now 3/5 of the way toward a straight. Deej, what are the next cards?

D.J.: On the way now are...

D.J.: ...the Queen of Hearts and the 9 of Clubs.

(a few woos from the crowd)

Doug: (clears throat) OK. *Really* important question on the way...

On The Beverly Hillbillies,...
\ Jed Clampett was played by Buddy Ebsen
\ the Clampett family lived at 77 Wistful Vista
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Barry buzzes in)

Doug: Barry

Barry: Jed Clampett was played by Buddy Ebsen.

Doug: Got it!

 

 

 

BARRY
ANDY

(audience cheers)

Doug: Now... umm... as if I had to ask, which card?

Barry: queen

Doug: Thought as much. Because if Andy got his hands on that lady...

 

BARRY


ANDY


Doug: ...the best you could hope for is a pair of Aces with Andy having at worst three Queens as well as a big win. With that said, the blind card question is, to put it at its mildest, crucial.

Doug: Fifteen points at stake on the question -- as well as the right to select one of those cards. End up with the better hand and you win 25 points and a chance to play for CY$95,000. In addition, Andy, you know you're playing for a guaranteed CY$100,000 and a new car for three straight wins here at Joker Poker. Good luck -- here is the question...

Blonde singer Jessica Simpson...
\ appeared in a Domino's Pizza commercial with The Muppets
\ sang a remake of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: I will say ........... sang a remake of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"

Doug: I'll say you just did beat Barry to the buzzer -- and you're right.

 

 

 

BARRY
ANDY

(audience cheers)

Doug: Andy, you control your destiny. Which card?

Andy: I will take the RIGHT Card........ I hope it is the RIGHT Card anyway :)

Doug: Well, as soon as D.J. gets the cards in place, we'll find out soon.

 

BARRY


ANDY


Doug: There they are. It's going to come down to the cards. Andy, let's look at your fifth card first...

 

BARRY


ANDY


Doug: Joker! (smattering of applause and shouts) Barry, the only way you can win is if your card is a Jack or the other Joker. In the event it's the other Joker, not only do you win the game, you and Andy will each win CY$5000 since "Double Joker" came on the blind card question...

D.

J.,

the

turn

of

Barry's

card

will

determine

who

advances

to

play

for

ninety-

five

thousand

cyber-

dollars.

In

Andy's

case,

this

turn

of

the

card

will

determine

if

he

wins

a

car

and

a

hundred-

grand.

Let's

see

it

now.
