MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

Doug: (grabs A) Jerry, let's see what you can do with A.
(walks to panel) Everyone on the panel's in on this...

Jay Leno said, "The only bad part about my new show on NBC is I still
have to work in beautiful downtown Burbank.  That means I have to keep
putting up with << BLANK >>."

(think music plays)  (light laughter from the crowd)

 

 

 

 

  

(stars write)

 

 

 

 

  

Doug: OK, Jerry, they're set.  Let's see you get on the scoreboard
here.

Jay Leno said, "The only bad part about my new show on NBC is I still
have to work in beautiful downtown Burbank.  That means I have to keep
putting up with << BLANK >>."

Jerry: I will say Jaywalkers.

(audience laughs and applauds)

Doug: Ah, yes, nothing like dealing with those mindless folks.  I like
that answer.  Let's see if these folks came up with Jaywalkers.

Ryan V.: Well Doug, I'm in a bit of a retro mood, and since it is 
beautiful downtown Burbank... (card)
 
THE FICKLE
FINGER
OF FATE

(buzz)  (audience laughs and applauds)

Ryan V.: Because I'm not sure if Jay will stay at 10pm forever.  
Boston NBC, are you listening?

(more laughs)

Doug: By the way, if you don't know what a fickle finger of fate is,
look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls.  Chad?

Chad: Nothing funny here, but rather a Native American with a tear on 
his cheek.

[SMOG POLLUTION]

(buzz) 

Doug: Oh, another good retro answer.  Speaking of retro, that reminds
me of the opening few seconds of the copper clapper caper bit from
the Johnny Carson days of "The Tonight Show".  Jack Webb started by
saying, "This -- is the city."  And they cut to a shot of downtown
L.A. covered in smog.  (audience laughs)  Great piece of comedy.
Mark, do you offer more comedy?

Mark: (flip) ROSS THE INTERN

(buzz)  (audience laughs)

Doug: *That* was my answer.  Oh, he's so annoying.  Over to
Ryan now.  Jay Leno said, "The only bad part about my new show on 
NBC is I still have to work in beautiful downtown Burbank.  That 
means I have to keep putting up with..."

Ryan: (card)

(buzz) 

Doug: Probably the makings of the next E! True Hollywood Story.
Over to Steve.

Steve: I get to be the Patty Deutsch on this one.  I have no idea.
I said (card) [The Traffic]

(audience laughs) (buzz) 

Doug: Well, SoCal traffic isn't easy anywhere.  And Nick, last chance
for Jaywalkers.

Nick: You know, when you think about Burbank, you remember that it's in 
California.  The home of the Governator.  

He loves to say (in Arnold accent): "No new tahhxes... and it's not a 
tuuumor!"

----------------
|    GOV.      |
|SCHWARZENEGGER|
----------------

(buzz)  (audience laughs)

Doug: Good impression, good answer, no match.

 

 

 

 

FLYING...FATE | SMOG POLLUTION | ROSS THE INTERN
KEVIN | THE TRAFFIC | GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER

Jerry's response: JAYWALKERS

 

 

Doug: One round's in the books.  Matt's leading 300 to nil.  Back for
Round 2 after this message from your RCA Victor dealer.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
