MG Round 2 Question B

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) OK, since Erik's yet to score, all six 
stars get to play this one.  And -- uh -- we promised we'd plug Will's
show -- although this may not be the way he wanted us to plug it.

Will Schmarder said, "I think it's going to take awhile to forget what
happened during yesterday's taping of What's My Number?  During a 
commercial break, some guy kept asking a girl, 'Hey, baby, what's 
*your* number?'  Eventually, she had enough and << BLANKED >> him."

(audience laughs and applauds) (think music plays)
 

 

Doug: OK, we're all set, Erik.  Question again.

Will Schmarder said, "I think it's going to take awhile to forget what
happened during yesterday's taping of What's My Number?  During a 
commercial break, some guy kept asking a girl, 'Hey, baby, what's 
*your* number?'  Eventually, she had enough and << BLANKED >> him."

Erik: PUNCHED

(audience cheers)

Doug: He said with authority.  That's a good answer.  Let's see how
good it is with our panel -- starting with Troy.

Troy: I know it's not THE ultimate funny number, but in the grand tradition
of Maxwell Smart... she [ 86'ed ] him.

(audience laughs) (buzz)

Doug: Oh, that's actually clever.  I like that.  Chad, did you think the 
girl punched out the guy in Will's audience?

Chad: I'm having a hard time coming up with anything extremely witty 
or creative, so let's just choose a good ol'...

[SOCKED]

Doug: Punched and socked will... (ding; audience applause) ...match!  All 
right.  Erik's on the board with 100.  Matt, do you make it 200?

Matt: Subtracted him.

(audience laughs and applauds) (buzz)

Doug: Another clever answer.  Not a match though as we visit our
master of the squares.  Will Schmarder said, "I think it's going to 
take awhile to forget what happened during yesterday's taping of 
What's My Number?  During a commercial break, some guy kept asking 
a girl, 'Hey, baby, what's *your* number?'  Eventually, she had 
enough and << BLANKED >> him."

Ryan: (card)

+=======+
| 619'd |
+=======+

(buzz) (audience laughs frantically and cheers for about 20 seconds)

Doug: As I said earlier, 86 and subtract are clever answers.
But I've gotta nominate 619 for clever answer of the year -- even
in these opening days of 2012.  Funny stuff, Ryan.  *Really* funny
stuff.  Kevin, what can you do for a encore?

Kevin: Did what I would have done... << KISSED >> her.

(audience groans)   (buzz)

Doug: I still say Kevin and Will need to change places.  OK, Will,
*now's* the time to tell us what What's My Number? is really about.

Will: Well, I have a great show called "What's My Number?", and it's a bit
revolutionary in the game show world. There are all of these word games
and trivia games, but nothing to really test number skills, so we have a
fun number association game, and it's great for everyone to play along.

Unfortunately that "other network" wasn't too enthused and gave us a
premature axe, but we have been picked up in syndication, so check your
local netgame listings.

Doug: I must say in disclosure I've played What's My Number?  I didn't
do particularly well -- but it is a great test of math skills.  Best of
luck with it no matter how you move it forward.  

(audience applause)

Doug: Now, tell us what *really* happened.

Will: I still can't believe it, it was absolutely horrific. She added a
bruise, multiplied his pain, and divided his dignity. But to get to the
square root of the punishment, she subtracted some of his blood when she
SOCKED him.

(card) [SOCKED]

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Another "close enough" match.  

 

86'ED | SOCKED | SUBTRACTED
619'D | KISSED | SOCKED

Erik's answer: PUNCHED

 

 

Doug: Well, Erik, good news and bad news.  The good news is you're
on the board.  Bad news is it's not enough to pick first in the final
round of Match Game.  We'll find out who's moving on to Hollywood 
Squares -- after this.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
