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

Doug: I thank you, Rich.  Hello everybody and welcome to our
third Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour champions' special.
Hello, stars.

 

 

 

 

Panel: (basically in unison) Hello, Ryan and Doug.

Ryan: And now, let's meet -- our champions.  Rich?

 

 

 

(MG-HSH variant plays)

Rich: Ryan, here's the top seeded player in the tournament. 
With CY$119,000, here's John Menjes.  (audience cheers)  Seeded
second with CY$99,300, welcome back Andy Geller.  (audience cheers)
And seeded third with CY$61,000, Michael Clifford. (audience cheers)

(song fades)

Doug: A brief explanation as to how this works.  Since John has
won the most out of this trio, he is already in the finals and will
play the X's.  So, John, go ahead and have a seat in the front row.

(audience cheers)  (all players shake hands)  (John exits stage
left)

Ryan: Andy and Michael will play Match Game here in the semi-finals.
Winner of Match Game plays against John in the Hollywood Squares
finals.

Doug: Now, for this tournament, we thought we'd raise the stakes.
The player eliminated in this Match Game semi-final wins CY$25,000.
In Hollywood Squares, the runner-up in the final collects CY$50,000
and the winner racks up CY$100,000.  (audience cheers)  Plus, 
another CY$100,000 can be won with the Super Match.  We'll play
two audience matches there and hopefully that will lead to 100-grand.
Let the special begin!

(audience cheers)  (Ryan and Doug shake hands; Ryan takes his
place in "the Morris chair" on the panel)
