MG Round 2 Question A
Doug: (grabs A) Chad Flake, you're left with A. (fanfare sounds; audience cheers) And aren't you glad. This is our Grand Question for you and Brian. Lemme 'splain since we've only done this once. This will play like a normal question. Any matches Chad Flake scores with the panel will apply to his score. For this Grand Question, Brian *and* Chad will try to match Dana Epstein. Come on out here, Dana. (audience cheers) Doug: As you know, we have a rotating panel of semi-regulars for Hollywood Squares. They also help out with Match Game questions. Dana wrote this. And if Brian or Chad over there match Dana, we'll pay CY$1000 to the victor. It's a bonus which *doesn't* apply to the score of the game. Dana, go ahead and read this to the fine folks. Dana: Bill the baseball fan said, "The New York Yankees just opened their new stadium, and most of the seats are empty because they're so expensive. Since they couldn't find Yankee lovers with enough money to pay those exorbitant ticket prices, they decided to fill the seats with << BLANKS >>." (light laughter from the crowd) (think music plays)
Doug: OK, their answers are ready. Brian, since you're just playing for the bonus, we'll take your answer first. What say ye? Brian: Red Sox Fans (scattered laughter from the crowd) Doug: Huh kay. Going to enemy territory to fill the stands. Now, Chad, we'll go to you for a response. Question again... Bill the baseball fan said, "The New York Yankees just opened their new stadium, and most of the seats are empty because they're so expensive. Since they couldn't find Yankee lovers with enough money to pay those exorbitant ticket prices, they decided to fill the seats with << BLANKS >>." (time passes) Doug: Gotta have an answer before the buzzer sounds, Chad. (more time passes) (buzz buzz) Doug: OK, no answer in time. Dana, what was your answer? Dana: Fans -- as in window fans/electric fans. (a few groans) Doug: And I don't think we can give Brian another thousand, can we? (buzz) Thought as much. Dana, stay here -- 'cause we'll still check the answers from the panel. Starting with Troy. Troy: Oh sure, Kauffman Stadium gets a big facelift, and alllllllllll the talk's about Yankee Stadium. Go Royals! Seriously, I'm going to put on my catcher's mask for this one, 'cause who knows what your audience is armed with. I say | RED SOX FANS |. Doug: Well, Troy matched Dana. Can we give him the grand? (buzz) Ah, come on, judge? (buzz) (light laughter from the crowd) Anyway, Chad Mosher. Chad M.: Color me stupid, but I found this one decently difficult. So, I said: [FILTHY RICH TEAM OWNERS] (audience laughs) Doug: Funny thought. Nolan? Nolan: So got this one. Red Sox fans! I'm from Minnesota originally, so stick that in your Yankee Doodle Dandy and smoke it! (audience laughs) Doug: More BoSox fans. Ryan? Ryan: I had no idea so I put... +=========+ | Dummies | +=========+ (light laughter from the crowd) Doug: Seems like Ted Turner tried that with the Braves back in the '80s. (more laughter) Chris? Chris: They must've been REALLY desperate 'cause, to fill the seats, they brought in... +------+ | METS | | FANS | +------+ Chris:...who couldn't get tix to Citi Field! (audience cheers) Doug: Now *THAT* was my answer. Get fans of the other city's team. Joe, wrap this up for us. Joe: This was a tough one, Doug. I'm an Angels fan, and as far as I'm concerned the Yankees are the epitome of what pro wrestling fans call "heels." So I WAS gonna say... +--------+ |BULLCRAP| +--------+ (audience laughs) Joe: ...but I didn't. So instead I went with... +--------+ |THE REST| |OF THE | |TEAM | +--------+ (more laughs) Doug: Good answers all around. Nice hand for Dana. (audience cheers)

Doug: Score's still 300-0. Anything can happen in the final round of Match Game. Find out what happens -- after this. (audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)MG ROUND 3 BEGINS
