Hi everyone.  It's almost time for another Net Match Game - Hollywood
Squares Hour.  Before we start, some notes.

\ Robert McBride retired as an undefeated champion.  So we seek three
players.  The player closest to the right answer automatically becomes
the designated champion and plays the X's in Hollywood Squares.  The
next two closest play Match Game for the right to advance to HS.

\ This is Game 40.  So if you played as a "civilian" in Game 37, 38
or 39 -- 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 Brian Sapinski from Net Press Your
Luck, Will Schmarder, Game Show Man Joe Van Ginkel and Gatorman
Joe Kristoff.

....now for the qualifying question.  Remember, we're seeking
three players.  And since we've got the NPYL host on board, it only
makes sense we ask a question related to those wascawwy whammies.

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.  The winner of this episode 
won how much in cash and prizes?





(ding)

Great day in the studio -- $14,800.  Who's the closest?

John Hines	$14,800

Well, ain't you something, John?  You're our designated champion. 
Next closest?

Matt Taylor	 $8,700

It's Matt Taylor.  You'll be Player 1 in Match Game.  Player 2 is...

Chris Wolvie	 $8,013

...ah, great, Chris Wolvie makes, if I'm not mistaken, his debut as
a civilian on NMG-HSH -- next.

Glenn Bowman: "Kenny vs. Spenny vs. Throut vs. Neck" (audience laughs) 
will not be seen at this time -- so that we may bring you a matchup 
you'll actually be interested in.

Ryan Morris
and
Doug Morris


Doug: 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: And hello to you at home.  On our last show, Robert McBride
became an undefeated champion winning CY$118,000. 

(audience cheers)

Ryan: Right now, he's the top seed.  We have a designated champion
to take his place.  You'll meet that player later.

Doug: And it's great to meet returning stars -- Brian, Will and the
dueling Joes are back on the bottom row.  We're about to meet our
Match Game challengers -- 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 here are the aforementioned Match Game players, Matt Taylor 
and Chris Wolvie. 


(more cheers)  

Doug: We'll chat later.  But let's get this show on the road.
As you know, the objective here to match as many...



 


Doug: ...of these people, dressed as they are, who came from all
over the U.S. to make matches. 

(light laughter from the crowd)

Doug: Each 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 
our designated champion.  The high scorer there  plays the Super Match 
which can pay out CY$50,000.
