MG Round 1 Question B
(audience cheers) (Doug presses button revealing Round 1 questions on the toaster) Doug: Got a lot of hurdles to cross before we get close to CY$50,000 -- and here's the first. Round 1. Dom, you won the right to go first. I have two questions here. Which would you like -- A or B? Dom: B.
Doug: (grabs B; walks to panel) B it shall be. New game, everyone on the panel's in on this... Entertainment reporter Roma Garrett said, "The Richard Simmons exercise franchise has jumped the shark. Instead of 'Sweating to the Oldies', he's releasing a DVD entitled 'Sweating to << BLANK >>'." (a few laughs from the crowd) (think music plays)

Doug: All right, Dom, the dandy half dozen's done. Question again... Entertainment reporter Roma Garrett said, "The Richard Simmons exercise franchise has jumped the shark. Instead of 'Sweating to the Oldies', he's releasing a DVD entitled 'Sweating to << BLANK >>'." Dom: Well, since "Jumping The Shark", entails doing something that sends a signal that your product is creatively near its end, I figure instead of "Sweating to the Oldies", he would be "Sweating to... Justin Bieber". (audience laughs and applauds) Doug: That is a good answer. Sad thing about this -- that little squirt makes more money than all of us combined. (a few laughs from the crowd) Doug: I know. Bitter, party of one. Well, let's see if anyone over here thought of Justin. Troy, we start with you. Troy: Richard Simmons, wow, 62 years old... and he doesn't look a day over 73. (audience laughs) I went with my gut instinct here and said "LADY GAGA". (buzz) (audience laughs and applauds) Doug: That's another good answer. Chad Mosher, mob member, blogger, bon vivant. What say ye? Chad: I'm not sure if I want to see Richard's puh-puh-puh-poker face while he's a-sweatin'. [LADY GAGA] (buzz) (smattering of applause) Doug: All I get is Lady Gaga -- so far. Tom, welcome back to the nuthouse. What came to your mind? Tom: Doug, Frank was sweatin' to being alone with Richard Simmons. Frank: NO! (audience laughs) Tom: I'm thinking really oldies here... (*( MUZAK )*) (buzz) (audience laughs) Doug: Ya know, that kinda matched my answer. I was thinking "Sweating to '70s Love Songs" instead of the oldies. In any event, we come on down to Ryan Morris. Entertainment reporter Roma Garrett said, "The Richard Simmons exercise franchise has jumped the shark. I nstead of 'Sweating to the Oldies', he's releasing a DVD entitled 'Sweating to ...'." Ryan M.: My answer shouldn't really be a surprise.... +=========+ | Hannah | | Montana | +=========+ (buzz) (audience laughs and applauds) Doug: This may become Net Generation Gap here before too long. So far, Tom and I are stuck in the '70s while everyone else is focused on singers of the here and now. Ryan Vickers, good to see you back here, too. Ryan V.: First off all, let me say, if this had been the Canadian version of NMG-HSH, I would have instantly said +---------+ | RAJ | | BINDER | +---------+ Ryan V.: ... but it's not just native to the CBC, so I thought how could he jump the shark? He would recruit the cast of... +--------+ | JERSEY | | SHORE | +--------+ (buzz) (audience laughs) Ryan V.: ... which would frankly just scare me. Doug: Yikes. That would be frightening. And Shawn, who's doing a great job on Net Let's Make A Deal, last chance for Justin. Shawn: It's time to introduce a new generation of people to Richard Simmons, and what better way, than "Sweating to...... [Justin] [Bieber] (ding; audience applause) Doug: Hey, how ya like that? New kid on the block succeeds in his baptism by fire.
LADY GAGA | LADY GAGA | MUZAK
HANNAH MONTANA | "JERSEY SHORE" | JUSTIN BIEBERDom's answer: JUSTIN BIEBER
Doug: Now sweating to music from New Kids on the Block -- different story. (audience laughs) Dom, first match in the game goes to you. Andy's yet to bat.MG ROUND 1 CONTINUES
