Doug: And we're back with Net Poker. Time for the final round of Joker Poker.

Doug: In just a few moments, one of you will play Deuces Wild for up to CY$70,000. (audience cheers) OK, this works just like the 5-Card round. Only difference, there are two Jokers in the deck. If you draw a Joker, you may use it for anything when you complete your hand.
Brian won the first round -- and therefore earned the right to cut the cards. D.J. Hamilton is about to tell us what the first two cards are for this final round.
D.J.: OK, Brian and Michael. Good luck guys and we start with...
  |
D.J.: ...the King of Diamonds and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: And first question of the round's a-comin' up...
Before becoming the host of NBC's Late Night, Conan O'Brien was a writer for...
\ The Simpsons
\ Saturday Night Live
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: "Saturday Night Live"
Doug: Not right. Michael, you get a chance to take this.
Michael: all of the above
Doug: That's the right choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: OK, you're on the board. Which card?
Michael: Duh! I'll take the King.
Doug: It does seem superfluous to ask...
 BRIAN  MICHAEL |
Doug: ...but it's in my contract to do that. Two more cards on the way.
  |
D.J.: The 10 of Diamonds and the Ace of Hearts.
Doug: And the next question for 10 more points...
In the year 1978,...
\ the city of Cleveland went bankrupt
\ Lynn Swann won player of the year honors in the NFL
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: Lynn Swann won player of the year honors in the NFL.
Doug: Not the right choice. Michael, another chance to steal.
Michael: Cleveland went bankrupt
Doug: That's right.

Doug: NFL player of the year honors went to Terry Bradshaw. Of course, nowadays, he couldn't spell "FOX" if you spotted him the F and the O. (audience laughs) Michael, which card?
Michael: I'm going to pass on the royal flush & I will take the Ace.
Doug: Well, that means the car and 100-grand go back into the garage...
|
BRIAN MICHAEL |
Doug: ...but if no Diamonds come down the chute on this next pair, it would turn out to be a smart move. In fact, let's see those cards now.
D.J.: By the way, that's another gig I lost out. I wanted to be the weather girl on FOX NFL Sunday.
Doug: Really.
D.J.: Yeah, did some fill-in work here at Channel 63 and then sent them the tape.
  |
D.J.: Oh, 10 of Clubs and the Queen of Hearts.
Doug: Well, if anything, Michael broke up a chance for Brian to get a flush. Meantime, Brian, you sure could use 10 points. Here they come with this question...
When making a list of all of NBC's corporate logos, past and present, you must include a...
\ peacock
\ green "N"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: A peacock.
Doug: And you're on the board.

Doug: NBC had a red and blue N in the '70s. Brian, which card?
Brian: I'll have the Queen of Hearts.
Doug: He takes the lady...
|
BRIAN MICHAEL |
Doug: ...and Michael gets the 10. We're getting close to crowning a new champ, here. Two more cards, please.
  |
D.J.: The King of Clubs and the Queen of Diamonds.
Doug: And no Jokers yet in Joker Poker. Maybe they'll be part of the blind card pair. That's later. For now, this question...
To correctly spell the first name of America's current secretary of state, you must include...
\ two E's
\ only one Z
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: None of the above
Doug: Not right. Michael, chance to capitalize.
Michael: two E's
Doug: Right.

Doug: Condoleezza Rice is her name. First name spelled with two E's and two Z's. OK, Michael, which card?
Michael: I will take the King.
Doug: And as we go into the blind-card question...
|
BRIAN MICHAEL |
Doug: ...Michael has a pair of Kings and Brian has two ladies. Michael also has the lead in points. Brian, you must score on this blind-card question in order to stay in business. Michael, if you collect the 15 points, you automatically become the new champion.
 |
Doug: There are the final two cards. And the question for 15...
Indiana University is the alma mater of...
\ talk show host David Letterman
\ "Garfield" cartoonist Jim Davis
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Michael for the game.
Michael: none of the above
Doug: You're the new champion!

(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: Dave and the cartoonist are graduates of Ball State University -- located in Muncie, Indiana. Well, before we go any further, let's check both blind cards only for potential bonus payoffs.
Here in Joker Poker, if the two cards up for grabs are both Jokers, we pay CY$5000 to the player who scores 10 points. But, if the Jokers make up the blind card pair, both players receive five-grand. So, Deej, what card was on the left?
 |
D.J.: The 9 of Spades.
Doug: Well, no chance at a bonus there. Was the other card a Joker?
 |
D.J.: Nope. Queen of Clubs.
Doug: Ah, man, the wild cards were buried that time. Further, you'll notice Brian would've had the better hand anyway. So, Brian, I'll tell ya what. We'll go ahead and give you 25 for the high hand...

Doug: ...and then tack on ten cyber-bucks for every point. Not a bad haul at all -- CY$5350. (audience cheers)
