MG Round 1 Question A
Doug: Dave, you're left with A. Let's see how you do. (Doug grabs A; walks over to panel)
Doug: Little Rotten Rodney is SOOOOO rotten... Everyone else in unison: HOW ROTTEN IS HE ?!?!? Doug: ... when his teacher asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Little Rotten Rodney responded "I wanna be just like << BLANK >>."
(J! think music plays)
Doug: OK, Dave, let's see how you do with this assignment. Little Rotten Rodney is SOOOOO rotten, when his teacher asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Little Rotten Rodney responded "I wanna be just like << BLANK >>." Dave: Hmmm... I don't know. I honestly don't know. Doug: Well, remember, sayin' somethin's better than sayin' nuttin'. Dave: I'll just give it a shot, although I'm not saying what kind of one. Rodney was SOOOOO rotten, he thought of being like JANET RENO when he grows up, but I think he said WILLIAM J CLINTON With a "J" for... never mind. (audience applause) Doug: I see where you're going with that. Bill Clinton's your answer right? (Dave nods head "yes") OK, folks, we're looking for Clinton. We'll start with Charlie. Charlie: I'll go off on a sports tangent like I sometimes do and say +--------+ | ART | | MODELL | +--------+ (buzz) (audience boos) Doug: Logical answer -- but not a wise move. Hornikel and Klauss are in the front row. We turn to the prince of Plinko, the sultan of showcases, Jay Lewis. Jay: That little Rodney is really rotten. Did you know he came to my house and took a leak in the gardenias? Doug: Really? Well, I say he claps the erasers every day after school in the upcoming year. Jay: Any way, he's wants to be just like +--------+ | DENNIS | | RODMAN | +--------+ (buzz) (audience applause) Doug: That would be pretty rotten. Jim, what came to your mind? Jim: I was thinking of BILL CLINTON. (audience starts to applaud) Doug: Wait, before you get too excited... (buzz) ...Jim's answer doesn't count because he didn't have an answer for us in the first half of this round. Therefore, per the rules, any matching answers from him or anyone who missed any part of a round don't count. (audience boos) Don't boo me! I'm just the messenger. Anyway, sorry Dave, those are the rules. But, as we go to the lower tier, if anyone here said Clinton, you'll get credit for the match since everyone from the lower tier participated in James' half of the round. So, we turn to Ryan. What did you think the rotten one aspired to be. Ryan: Make your own joke... [Bill Clinton] (ding; audience applause) Doug: No joke about this one. This is a legit match. Dave's on the board. Deano, show us another Bubba Clinton. Dean: Little Rotten Rodney and... +----------+ | (DENNIS) | | RODMAN | +----------+ ...Rodman! There's some alliteration for you. (buzz) Doug: I like the alliteration. Plus, you and Jay oughta do great in the original NMG. You guys are matching each others answers. And finally to Dana. Dana: My first inclination was Clinton, but to be more topical, I'm going with Vlankky -- and THAT's pretty rotten. (buzz) (audience cheers) Doug: Well, Dave's wishing you went with your first instinct. But, I can't argue with the logic. Let's recap the answers...ART MODELL | DENNIS RODMAN | BILL CLINTON (rule book mismatch)
BILL CLINTON | DENNIS RODMAN | VLANKKY
And at the end of the first round, Dave has one match, James has yet to score. Come back for Round 2 after this. (audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
