MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

(audience cheers) (Doug presses button revealing Round 1 questions
on the toaster)

Doug: Erik, you won the right to go first.  I have two questions
here on the toaster.  Would you like A or B?

Erik: A.

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) He starts with A and we're off and
running.   

Nerdocrumbesia is one sleazy country.

Everyone else in unison: HOW SLEAZY IS IT?!?!  

Doug: Before entering politics, Nerdocrumbesia's prime minister worked 
as a << BLANK >>.

(audience laughs) (think music plays) 

 

Doug: Waiting on Kevin to get in there.

 

Doug: OK, they're set.  Question again.

Nerdocrumbesia is one sleazy country.  Before entering politics, 
Nerdocrumbesia's prime minister worked as a << BLANK >>.

Erik: Fire fighter.

(audience boos)

Doug: I -- take it you're implying the public safety system in Nerdocrumbesia
is also sleazy.  Wellll -- we'll go through the formalities anyway
and check out the answers -- starting with Troy.

Troy: What's more sleazy than a politician?  Hrmm.  That's a tough one.

But -- my money's on [ HOOKER ].

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: There ya go.  That's sleazy.  Chad, your thoughts.

Chad: I, uh, don't know how common these are outside of Nerocrumbesia, 
but there, their politicians can often be found doubling as a...

[GENTLEMAN OF
THE NIGHT]
 
(buzz)  (audience laughs and applauds)

Doug: See, that's what helps make this a Round 1 question.  It never
established the gender of the prime minister.  Good answer as we go
to Matt for the first time.

Matt: Why the best prime ministers all start out as a Used Car Salesman.

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: *That* was my answer.  Amazingly no fire fighters as we visit Ryan.
Nerdocrumbesia is one sleazy country.  Before entering politics, 
Nerdocrumbesia's prime minister worked as a...

Ryan: (card)

+==========+
| Used Car |
| Salesman |
+==========+

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: Another used car sales guy.  Suddenly I'm picturing a Herb Tarlek
look-a-like delivering Nerdocrumbesia's version of the State of the Union
address.  Kevin, what came to your mind?

Kevin: This country couldn't be any sleazier. You'd think the prime 
minister at one point was a << GYPSY >>.

(buzz) (smattering of applause)

Doug: Traveling from town to town in search of votes.  Just like presidential
candidates.  Will, what sleazy occupation did you think of?

Will: Sleazy, eh Doug? A couple things come to mind. I originally thought
about a used car salesman, but instead I went with a:

[CARNY]

(buzz)  (audience laughs)

Doug: There's a former "Newlywed Game" hostess joke in there somewhere -- 
but I'm getting a "hurry up" signal from the floor director.

(a few laughs from the crowd)

 

HOOKER | GENTLEMAN...NIGHT | USED CAR...
USED CAR... | GYPSY | CARNY

Erik's response: FIRE FIGHTER

 

 

Doug: Well, Erik, no fire fighters came to your rescue.  Better
luck in the next round.
