MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) David, you're left with A and let's see
if you can bring your A game with this.  Oh, this is a *great* question.


Bill the bartender said, "Fred's had *WAY* too much to drink.  He 
answered the call of nature over by the << BLANK >>."

(audience laughs and applauds) (think music plays)

Doug: All right, David, let's see if you can score 200 or more on
this.

Bill the bartender said, "Fred's had *WAY* too much to drink.  He 
answered the call of nature over by the << BLANK >>."

David: Plant.

(audience groans) 

Doug: I'm not sure if I should even ask for you to clarify what
you meant by "plant" (light laughter from the crowd)  In any event, 
let's see if we have a few plants around here.  Carrie, what did
you think of.

Carrie: Gives a whole new meaning to "don't pee in the pool..."

(buzz) (audience laughs and applauds)

Doug: Now *that's* creative.  I like that.  Chad, what say ye?

Chad: So many holes. So little privacy.

[THE POOL TABLE]

(buzz) (audience laughs and applauds)

Doug: Not this again!?!?  You sure you're not copying each other?
Let's go to Tammy now.

Tammy: First thing that came to my mind was "JUKEBOX."

(buzz) (scattered applause)

Doug: Another great thought.  David, ya get the idea?  Prominent
things associated with watering holes worked here.  Let's come on
down to Ryan.  Bill the bartender said, "Fred's had *WAY* too 
much to drink.  He answered the call of nature over by the
<< BLANK >>."

Ryan: I matched Tammy.

Doug: Ya know, this whole round has the looks of an April Fool's
gag.  (more laughs)  Brian?

Brian: Fred was answering the call of nature over by the...

[ZOO]

(buzz) (audience groans) 

Doug: I retract my earlier statement.  *That answer* has the 
looks of an April Fool's gag.  (more laughs)  Will, please 
me you didn't say "zoo"?

Will: I'm sure that Fred thought he'd get off Scott-free - 
pun intended - by answering the call of nature on the [ TELEPHONE ].

(buzz) (audience laughs)

Doug: Kind of an inside joke there.  But no match as we recap.

David's answer: PLANT

 

 

Doug: Well, that first round was full of matches -- but the only
ones that count belong to William, thus far.  He leads 200 to nothing.
What's in store for Round 2?  You won't know 'til you come back.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
