The Ghost of Jay Stewart: These are our champions.  Greg Diener, Eddie
Timanus and Phil Levine.  Standby as one of them could win more than
CY$100,000 tonight because... (MG-HSH theme plays) ...it's time for the...

(NMG-HSH sign rises; MG-esque doors open; Ryan and Doug -- dressed
in tuxedoes -- are welcomed to an ecstatic crowd, walk down the 
stairs, shake hands)

Doug: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart.  Hellloooooo everybody, and
welcome to this special edition of the Net Match Game - Hollywood 
Squares Hour.

Ryan: We've invited back our three top-money winning contestants
for tonight's special and as the ghostly one said, one of them 
could win CY$100,000 more!  (audience cheers)

Doug: First, let's welcome our panel.  Hello stars!

Panel: (more or less in unison) Hello, Ryan and Doug.

Ryan: And now, let's welcome our other stars with the help of Jay's 
ghost.

(MG-HSH fee plug theme plays)

TGoJS: Returning with CY$48,500 is our top seed, Greg Diener.  
(audience cheers)   Looking to add to his winnings of CY$43,250,
here's Eddie Timanus.  (audience cheers)  And with CY$34,600, meet
our third seed, Phil Levine.  (audience cheers)

Ryan: Now here's how we play our NMG-HSH champions' special.  Since
Greg is our top seed, he will already be in our finals.  So, Greg,
we'll see you in Hollywood Squares.

(Greg shakes Eddie's hand, then Phil's; Greg walks off stage)

Doug: As for Eddie and Phil, they will play Match Game for the right
to advance to the finals.  We'll use the Match Game PM "three round"
rules except we won't keep track of the cyber-money score.  We'll
just note the number of celebrities a player matches. The winner moves
on to Hollywood Squares and is guaranteed at least CY$25,000.  Runner-up
in this semi-final contest collects CY$10,000 consolation.

Ryan: And the winner of Hollywood Squares wins this tournament and
our top prize of CY$50,000.  (audience cheers) And lots more can be
won in the super match.  Doug, let's start the fun.

Doug: Indeed.  Let the champions' special begin!  (audience cheers)
(Doug and Ryan shake hands; Ryan takes his place at the Morris chair
on the panel; Doug walks over to the toaster, presses the button to
reveal the first round questions)
