("Hail to the Chief" plays)
D.J.: (still wearing her George Washington costume) Four score and seven... oh wait... Jay won by the score of three score to one score.
Doug: Bet you can't say that three times fast.
D.J.: You're right. But, I'd like to say something about a trip our Joker Poker winner could win.
Doug: OK, do tell.
D.J.: Jay and Rick, I cannot tell a lie -- unlike some of the folks you could meet in Washington, D.C. (audience cheers) You and a guest could fly round trip coach to our nation's capital for a six-night stay at the Doubletree Park Terrace. You'll stay in the Presidential Suite -- of course. Plus, if you win the trip, a bonus prize, you and your companion will take a special VIP tour of the White House. This Washington, D.C. trip is a *capital* idea -- compliments of Club Universe. Doug?

Doug: Thanks, Deej. And don't forget, the winner of this round also becomes champion, immediately plays for CY$10,000 and then goes on to Deuces Wild Poker for CY$67,500. (more cheers) So, lots at stake. Rick, you cut the cards during the break. This plays just like the last round -- except we have two Jokers in the deck. You may use it for anything in the event you control a Joker. Deej, our first two cards, please.

D.J.: The King of Hearts and the Joker.
Doug: All righty. First question in this round's another one of those book-length queries -- so play carefully...
Before appearing in the TV series "The Office", Steve Carell played the part of...

\ none of the above
Rick: None of the above.
Doug: Gotta buzz in. (Jay buzzes in) Jay.
Jay: All of the above
Doug: Not the right choice. Rick, chance to steal.
Rick: None of the above.
Doug: I don't believe this. He got it!

Doug: It's all true the other way around. Steve was a weatherman in Anchorman and a news anchor in Bruce Almighty. Rick, before you choose your card... (walks over to Rick's podium; hands him the question card) ...keep this for a souvenir. (walks back to his spot on the studio floor) Now then, which card?
Rick: I want the Joker.
Doug: The lucky man wants the wild card...
 RICK  JAY |
Doug: ...Jay gets the King. Not a bad consolation prize for that first question. Two more cards on the way.
  |
D.J.: The Ace of Clubs and the 9 of Diamonds.
Doug: OK, high and low card up for grabs. Please remember to buzz in and pick the right answer for this question...
In any given Atlantic hurricane season, if the first named storm of the season were named Al...
\ the second named storm could be named Brenda
\ the third named storm could be named Carol

Doug: Rick.

Doug: Not the right choice. Jay, chance to tie the score.
Jay: Brenda, Brenda, Brenda!
Doug: Right, right, right!

(audience laughs and applauds)
Doug: They always alternate back and forth between male and female gender names and list the storms in alphabetical order with no storm sharing the same first letter. Jay, according to Miss Prez's system, the score's tied at half a score. Which card?
Jay: That ace would be awesome.
Doug: Nevermind he won the last round with three 9s...
|
RICK JAY |
Doug: ...Jay takes the Ace. Rick potentially with two 9s. Third pair's on the way.
  |
D.J.: The 10 of Spades and the 10 of Hearts.
Doug: Couple of 10s and a 10-pointer comin' right up...

\ Vinny Testaverde
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Rick.
Rick: Vinny Testeverde
Doug: Not the right answer. Jay, chance to steal and lead.
Jay: None of 'em.
Doug: No, it's actually all of 'em. Same 10s, new question...
Under the name "Jefferson Starship", the band had hits with...
\ "Somebody To Love"
\ "White Rabbit"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: White Rabbit?
Doug: Nope. Rick, chance to steal.
Rick: None of the above
Doug: The songs were by the band when they were -- Jefferson Airplane. So "none of the above" is the right answer to the question.

Doug: OK, Rick, which 10?
Rick: I'll take the 10 of spades.
Doug: That means Jay gets the 10 of Hearts.
Jay: I *heart* Miss Prez over there.
D.J.: Aw, aren't you sweet?
|
RICK JAY |
D.J.: We'll have to get all of tonight's players a copy of my next swimwear calendar.
Doug: Ya'll can have 'em. My wife's in the front row and wouldn't appreciate it if I took one home. (light laughter from the crowd) Fourth pair of cards coming.
  |
D.J.: The Queen of Diamonds and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: OK, interesting set up there. Next query for 10...
On September 8, 1966, the TV show...
\ Car 54, Where Are You? debuted
\ Star Trek debuted
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Rick.
Rick: Star Trek debuted.
Doug: And your score prospers by ten.

Doug: "Car 54" went off the air on September 8 of '63. OK, Rick, which card for your hand?
Rick: I'll take the 9
Doug: And going into the blind card question...
|
RICK JAY |
Doug: ...Rick is working on three of a kind. Jay, you need a Joker or Jack to complete a straight.
 |
Doug: And Jay, in order to stay in business, you have to score on this 15-pointer, then draw that wild card or knave. Rick, if you score on this question or end up with a 10, 9 or Joker, you'll become the new champ. Here's the big question...
In the 1580's, calendars were changed so that a new year began on January 1st instead of April 1st -- per orders of...
\ Feodor I of Russia
\ Ivan IV of Russia
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: None of the above
Doug: That's right.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: OK, Jay, you've got to hope you draw a Jack and Rick does not end up with a 10 or 9. Keep in mind, we haven't seen the other Joker. Which card?
Jay: The left card, please.
|
RICK JAY |
Doug: Very well. The cards are all in place. Jay, we're going to start with you. You need a Jack or Joker to stay in business -- or else we know Rick wins. The president will now turn over Jay's fifth card first.
