(MG-HSH "super match intro" music plays)

Doug: Thanks, Rich.  We're back with Steve Michaels.  Man alive, I
didn't think you'd make it here.  If I'm not mistaken, the only time
you lead Squares was right at the end.  Either way, it proves it's
not so much how you start, it's how you finish.

Let's see if you can finish this episode with a CY$50,000 payoff.
Before you can take us for CY$50,000, you've got to take us for
CY$1000 in the audience match.

We're asking you, the internet audience, to give us your best
response to this...

 


L.A._______
(ding)

Doug: ...L.A. << BLANK >>.  

Steve, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is
to match the most popular answer in the survey.  Accomplish
the mission and you win CY$1000.  Match the second most 
popular answer and you'll score CY$500.  The number three 
answer in the survey is worth CY$250.  In the event you 
come up with an answer that did not rank in the top three, 
you win a consolation prize of CY$100.


 







Doug: Steve, please pick three panelists for advice.

Steve: I will take Chico, please.

Doug: Chico, how do you fill in that blank?  L.A. ...

Chico: Ink.

Steve: The man who brought me here, Tom.

Tom: L.A. Law

Steve: And why not make it a sweep across the top.  Jason, 
please.

Jason: I'll say L.A. Lakers.

Doug: And that's three -- two television shows and a sports 
team.  "L.A. Ink" -- "L.A. Law" -- L.A. Lakers.  Steve,
you may take one of their answers -- or reject all the 
suggestions and come up with an answer of your own.

Steve: Hooboy...this is definitely a tough one.  My first
thought matched Jason's, though, so I'm gonna say LA Lakers.

(audience cheers) (Jason crosses fingers)

Doug: All right, L.A. Lakers it is.  Let's see if that's our
number three answer for CY$250.

 


L.A._______
WEIGHT LOSS
(ding)

Doug: L.A. Weight Loss.  Should I take that as a hint?
(light laughter from the crowd)  Anyway, let's see the
second most popular answer.
 

 


L.A._______
LAKERS
WEIGHT LOSS
(dings; audience applause; MG-HSH win music plays)

Doug: Lakers.  That's CY$500 more for ya, Steve.  What do you think's
on top?

(most folks in the audience say "Law")

Doug: I have a hunch you're right.  Let's see the big one, Earl.

 


L.A._______
LAW
LAKERS
WEIGHT LOSS
(ding) (audience cheers)

Doug: "L.A. Law" was number one.  I have a hunch Corbin Bernsen's 
involvement in game show hosting was the catalyst.
