Net Poker and TBR remain on hiatus while we play the Net Definition tournament of champions. But we can *easily* find the time to play NMG-HSH. So let's start qualifying for a new episode. But first, a few notes... \ Robert McBride with two wins and CY$74,500. He'll either need CY$25,500 in HS or outright victory in HS to reach the Champions' special. \ This is Game 39. So if you played as a "civilian" in Game 36, 37 or 38 -- or are on retired status due to qualification in the Champions' Special -- please sit on your hands and let someone else play. Can't remember when you played? Just go to www.nmghsh.cjb.net or www.dougmorris.net/nmghsh and click on "Archives". \ Joining the usual suspects are Tammy Warner, Brian Moore, Will Morris (no relation to Ryan or me) and, in her debut appearance, Carrie Grosvenor. She and Chad Mosher, our center square, blog about game shows on About.com. ....now for the qualifying question. The two players closest to the right answer to this question, high or low, play Match Game. Winner moves on to play against Robert in Hollywood Squares. Here's your query. On January 23, 2010, at 8:30am Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Whammy!: The All New Press Your Luck". This episode originally aired during its first season on the network. In the first round, the whammies managed to take how much in cash and prizes from the players? Please respond to the nearest dollar. (time passes) Sorry for the delay. Got a little busy with business. Let's check out how much those rascals stole.
(ding) So if there were a big bank in play, it might've been up to 6060. Who's the closest to the right answer? William Smith $2798 It's William Smith. Been awhile since he's been here. Next closest? David Barkow $2350 Bit more recent -- but he waited the mandatory period. We have our panel and now the players. Game's starting in a bit. ====================================================================== Glenn Bowman: "Pink Lady, Jeff and a Pizza Place" (audience laughs) will not be seen at this time -- so that we may bring you this combination. ======================================================================

Ryan Morris
and
Doug MorrisDoug: Thanks, Glenn Bowman. Helloooooooo, everybody and welcome to another Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour. Hello, stars.
Panel: (basically in unison) Hello, Ryan and Doug. Ryan: Robert McBride remains our champion. We'll see him later in Hollywood Squares. An outright win or collecting at least CY$25,500 puts him in the tourney. Doug: Great to see Brian, Will and Tammy again. And also joining us for the first time, Carrie Grosvenor. She and Chad do a great job of blogging on About.com. Our challengers over there want to do a great job on Match Game. So let the games begin! (more cheers) (Ryan and Doug shake hands) (Ryan sits in the Morris chair on the panel) (Doug walks over to the Match Game desks)
Doug: And let's keep up the cheers for William Smith and David Barkow. (more cheers) Doug: We'll get acquainted later. But let's go ahead and start. As you know, the objective here to match as many...
Doug: ...of the most interesting panelists in the world as you possibly can. (light laughter from the crowd) Stay thirsty, friends. Every time you match a panelist, you earn CY$100. But if you max out and match everyone, we'll elevate your score to CY$1000. High scorer after three rounds advances to Hollywood Squares to face Robert, the aforementioned current champ. The high scorer there plays the Super Match which can pay out CY$50,000.MG ROUND 1 BEGINS
