MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

Doug: OK, Shawn, let's see if you can get on the board.  

 

 

(Doug grabs A; walks to the panel)

Once again, everyone on the panel plays.  Here goes...

Dr. Quackenbush has a habit of using shorthand a lot. One day, he was
so obsessed with it, he shorthanded his << BLANK >>.

(Paul gives Doug a blank stare, reaches in his pocket for his cell phone)

Doug: What are you doing over there?

Paul: This question is confusing 2 me, so I'm calling my grandma to help me.

(Paul dials granny) 

Doug: Just remember, after this you'll have two lifelines.  (audience laughs)

(celebs write and place their answers in the slots)

 

 

 

Doug: OK, finally they're all ready Shawn.  Let's see if you can
draw the first match in the game.

Dr. Quackenbush has a habit of using shorthand a lot. One day, he was
so obsessed with it, he shorthanded his << BLANK >>.

Shawn: All I can come up with is that he shorthands his bill.
 If only our doctor would do that!!!

(audience laughs and applauds)

Doug: Don't we all wish we had a doc like Quackenbush to that regard.
Let's see how that answer works with the panel starting with Robb.
