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. ======================================================================

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: 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.MG ROUND 1 BEGINS
