Joker Poker

 


ANDY


DAVID



(mix of groans and cheers)

Doug: It's a 10. We'll treat the Joker as if it were a third 10. David, you've just tied the game.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Well -- in the old days, we'd break this tie with dice rolls. But nowadays, we finish this round -- and the game -- with the Poker Run.

 

(motorcycle sfx)

Doug: Fifteen points a question -- unless one of the next two cards is a face card, then we play 20 a question. If both are royalty, 25 a question. The Joker will count as a face card if it comes down the chute. May we have the cards, please.

D.J.: The Ace of Clubs and the Jack of Clubs.

Doug: So -- 20 a question. Simply put, the first to three right answers in this Poker Run wins the game. Andy, David, good luck and play carefully -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!

On the short-lived TV series "GCB", the letter G is to "Good" as the letter C is to...

(David buzzes in)

Doug: David.

David: Christian.

(ding)

Doug: Did you notice we didn't bother asking what the B stood for?

(audience laughs)

When talking about H&R Block, the H is to Henry as the R is to...

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: Richard.

(ding)

Doug: That's right. We're tied again.

In a box of Lucky Charms cereal, clovers are to the color green as hearts are to the color...

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy.

Andy: Pink.

(ding)

Doug: That's right. Andy's one away from victory.

When talking about cards games, Uno is to Crazy Eights as Skip-Bo is to...

(David buzzes in)

Doug: David.

David: Spite and Malice -- AKA Cat and Mouse.

(ding)

Doug: That's right. We're comparing games not involving a regulation deck of cards to those that do call for at least one 52-card deck. Score's tied at 80. Next right answer wins.

Mozart's first name is to Wolfgang as Mozart's middle name is to...

(Andy buzzes in)

Doug: Andy for the game.

Andy: Amadeus.

(ding)

Doug: That's right and you're still the champ.

(dings; audience applause)

Doug: Andy, congratulations. Your second win -- and a shot at CY$70,000 coming up later.

David, 80 points translate to another CY$800. And I have some good new for you. An irregularity cropped up during the game -- and there's a chance it unfairly cost you the game.

So -- the best thing to do is invite you back on our next show -- and give you another shot at winning big here on Net Poker. For now, with CY$2800, we say, "See you on our next show, David Hammond."

(audience applause)

 

 
 



 
 

Doug: Andy, two letters in "Poker", please.

Andy: The P and the R.

Doug: All right, we're a little short on time -- so we're going to reveal them at the same time. If you find a total of CY$12,500, those payoffs double for CY$25,000. Let's see them, please.

 

 
 



 
 

(rimshot; ca-ching)

Doug: CY$2500 and CY$7500 for CY$10,000 total. Now let's get ready for the Joker game.

 

 
 



 
 

(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: One of those numbers hides the Joker -- worth CY$20,000. Which number?

Andy: #3.

Doug: In the middle -- what's there?

 

 
 



TEN FOR TEN
 

(ding)

Doug: Mystery card -- and the hint is Ten for Ten. Scarlett, please tell us the rest of the story.

Scarlett: Andy, in celebration of our tenth anniversary, you'll instantly win CY$10,000 for every natural 10 you draw in Deuces Wild Poker.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Well -- isn't that interesting. You won CY$10,000 for the round -- and pick up another ten large for every natural 10 you end up with in your hand. By the way, where was the Joker?

 

 
 



TEN FOR TEN
 

(ding) (smooth jazz theme plays)

Doug: Right next door -- #2.

 

 

 

ANDY
DAVID




Doug: Andy goes for a CY$70,000 jackpot -- after this.

(audience applause)
