[Clip from a previous head-to-head match of NMG-HSH.] Doug: Spelling << BLANK >>. That's S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G. Spelling << BLANK >>. (J! think music plays) (Randy Amasia writes down his answer, puts card in slot)
(ding) Doug: OK, Eddie, Randy's ready and we're ready for yours. Spelling << BLANK >>. Eddie Timanus: Well, in this case, I think I *will* trust my first instinct ... Spelling Bee. (audience cheers) Doug: That's the only thing that crossed my mind. If the same holds true for ATGS' Overlord, your winnings will total more than CY$37,000. Randy, 20-grand says you wrote down "Spelling Bee". (Randy has on a great poker face for the super match) Randy: Spelling BEE
(audience applause; slot machine payoff sfx; MG-HSH win music plays)(Eddie shakes hands Doug; Randy comes down to join in the celebration; everyone else in studio gives him a standing "O") [Clip ends] (fade to wide shot of the NMG-HSH studio) (fade to two-shot of Ryan and Doug) Ryan: Ladies and gentlemen, that was a portion of a previous episode of the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour. As we trust you know by now, Randy Amasia died December 12th of throat cancer. Doug: Randy was a big game show fan -- but more importantly a wonderful human being and a kind and caring individual. He once thought he was the only person in the world who loved game shows. Thankfully, he would be proven wrong. As we resume play, we dedicate this episode of the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour in loving memory to Randy Amasia. Ryan, I know Randy would want us to carry on and have some fun. So, have a good game, partner. (Ryan and Doug shake hands) (audience applause) (Ryan walks over to the HS desks; Doug walks to the Morris chair on the panel) Ryan: Well, we need some stars to begin our game, so I call upon the ghostly one, Jay Stewart. 
(cue MG-HSH theme)The Ghost of Jay Stewart: from FastTalkers, Chico Alexander... (audience cheers; Chico enters from stage left) from BattleBlocks, Jason Antoniewicz... (audience cheers; Jason enters from stage left) from VBS MarketWatch, Dana Epstein... (audience cheers; Dana enters from stage left) the giraffe boy, Charlie Pevey...

(audience cheers; Matt enters from stage left) and, from The New Net Bullseye, Mike Klauss... (audience cheers; Mike enters from stage left) Ryan: I hope you all had a good holiday season, stars. Now here are our players. First our challenger with Cy$500, playing the circles, Rick Brown. (audience claps; Rick enters from stage left and takes is seat at the circle podium.) And now, our Champion with Cy$28,850, playing the X's, Phil Levine! (audience claps; Rick enters from stage left and takes is seat at the X podium.) Ok, I'm sure you all know how to play. So, let's get started.
