Our fifth anniversary celebration of Net Poker continues. In case you missed the last show, we have a lot to catch you up on...
\ Todd Davis was crowned champion. He has a win and CY$23,750 to his credit and he returns to defend the crown for the first time.
\ The outlaw's jackpot is up to CY$82,500 and the new fifth anniversary side pot, introduced on the last show, is up to CY$10,000. The side pot could be won by the winner of this episode's main game. Win both these pots and you could be well on your way to the Net Poker Mega Playoff (formerly the Quarter Million Playoff) for CY$1,000,000.
\ This is Game 36. So if you played in the main game of our 33rd, 34th or 35th episode, please sit on your hands and let someone else play.
Now it's on to the qualifying question. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, play against Todd. Here's the question.
On August 26, 2007, at 8:00pm Central, we watched a rerun of "Nickelodeon Guts" on Nick Gas, since rechristened as The N. The winner of this "Nickelodeon Guts" episode scored how many points? Please respond to the nearest multiple of 25 points.
(time passes)
And we call time. Let's see the winning point total.

Sixteen and a quarter. Who's the closest?
Matt Taylor 1325
Ah, the victor in the audience game from the last show. Matt, you'll play against Todd and...
Jay Cross 725
...Jay Cross. To everyone else, thanks for playing. Another game of Net Poker's next.
======================================================================Rich Jeffries: "The Dukes of Hazzard Lose All Their Teeth" (audience laughs) will not be seen at this time -- in order that we may bring you a program that truly has a lot of bite. ======================================================================
(drum roll) (fade into one-shot of champion)
Rich: This is our current champion, Todd Davis -- a college student and soccer referee from Tampa, Florida.

Rich: So far, he has won CY$23,750. If he wins tonight's bonus jackpot in Deuces Wild Poker, his total winnings will exceed CY$100,000 -- and he'll qualify for our Mega Playoff for CY$1,000,000.

Rich: Either of Todd's challengers could also earn entry in the tournament tonight. Find out what happens here -- on Net Poker.
Rich: From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, welcome to the card game where high hands can bring high rewards. Celebrating five years on VBS, this is Net Poker.

Rich: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: Thank you, Rich, and helloooooooooo, everybody. Welcome to another game of Net Poker. Our players picked a good time to come. Because, with help from our fifth anniversary side pot we introduced on the last show, one of our players could win more than CY$20,000 here in the main game; that combined with winning the outlaw's jackpot worth more than CY$80,000 will equal a golden ticket to the Mega Playoff.
A lot at stake -- so let's start the game and introduce our dealer, D.J. Hamilton.
(D.J. walks out wearing a red dress, similar to Natalie Steele's dress the contestant wore in the finale of the "Super Password" tournament of champions) (audience cheers)
D.J.: Hi, everyone. Well, with a lot at stake, let's get right to the game. We welcome Jay Cross and Matt Taylor -- as they take on our champ, Todd Davis.

Doug: We've already spotted the player 10 points each. And we start, as always, with Video Poker. The theme for tonight's first round is...

Doug: ...Shows Within Shows. I'll name a fictional TV show or broadcast. You have to name the real show the fictional program appears on. Each time you chime in with the right answer, you earn 10 points. After five questions, we go on to the video screen with Deej for more.
