MG Round 1 Question A
(audience cheers) (Doug presses button revealing Round 1 questions on the toaster) Doug: In the last two regular games, we had the top prize at 50-grand and Matt Taylor had *two* shots at it -- going 1-for-2. So, anything's possible. Shawn, you won the right to go first. A or B? Shawn: I'll go with A.
Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) Want to get your *A* game on, eh? Let's see how that works. Everyone here has marker in hand. So let's kickoff the fun with this. Donald Trump said, "I'll tell you the real reason I'm not running for President of the United States. I kept getting calls from << BLANK >> to be my running mate." (audience laughs) (think music plays)
(stars write) Brian: Starting with the hot buttons already, Doug? Doug: Hey, we love the questions that are ripped from the headlines.
Doug: This oughta be a fun Round 1 question. Shawn, question again. Donald Trump said, "I'll tell you the real reason I'm not running for President of the United States. I kept getting calls from << BLANK >> to be my running mate." Shawn: It didn't work in 2008. I will go with Sara Palin. (audience cheers) Doug: Going with the former guv of Alaska -- even though he does have an eye for the ladies. Let's see how many folks over here thought of her. Starting with Troy. Troy: The first thing that came to my mind was the OTHER undeclared candidate. You betcha. [ SARAH PALIN ] (ding; audience applause) Doug: And just before you could say "I can see Russia from my house," Shawn has the first match of the game. Chad, over to you. Chad: I thought we had finally gotten rid of her! [OMAROSA] (audience laughs) (buzz) Doug: Nevermind she's been fired twice on "The Apprentice", Omarosa somehow manages to get back in the picture. Brian? Brian: I thought I was gonna leave all of the politics at home after Chris Christie just got his way with the pensions in Jersey. (small smattering of boos) Brian: Hey, everyone's got their own conclusions. But that's for another time. Anyway, I figured even if it's been a few years, the person he'd least want to have to deal with is +------------+ | ROSIE | | O'DONNELL | | | +------------+ (audience laughs) (buzz) Doug: Trump/O'Donnell in 2012. If that's not a ticket made in hell, I haven't seen it. Let's come on down and visit Ryan. Donald Trump said, "I'll tell you the real reason I'm not running for President of the United States. I kept getting calls from << BLANK >> to be my running mate." Shawn said Sarah Palin -- and you said... Ryan: Final answer... +=======+ | Regis | +=======+ (buzz) (a few laughs) Doug: Yeah, I can see that. They'd end up look more like a comedy duo and less of a campaign ticket. Jerry? Jerry: Well, Doug and Ryan, thanks for having me back on the show. Doug: Great to have you back. Jerry: The one person I'd be annoyed at getting call after call from is... [ SARAH ] [ PALIN ] (ding; audience applause) Doug: And Shawn has CY$200. Barry, do you make it CY$300? Barry: (card) Latoya Jackson (buzz) (audience laughs) Doug: Funny you mention that. She was the only other person in "Apprentice" history to get pink slipped twice. A good round for Shawn as we review.
