MG Round 1 Question A
Doug: And don't forget, sometime in the Match Game, there's a grand question -- where both of you play for bonus cyber-money. We'll talk more about that when it's picked. Michael, you won the right to go first. There are two questions here in the toaster for this first round. Want A or B? Michael: I'll go with A. Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) Starting with A. Very well. New game, everyone on the panel plays this. Ed said, "My wife is such a terrible cook..." Everyone else in unison: HOW TERRIBLE IS SHE?!?!!? Doug: "...she burned << BLANK >> at breakfast this morning." (audience laughs) (think music plays)
(stars write) (after Chris puts card in slot; he tapes this to the back of his square) +-------------+ |I'LL LIVE TO | | 100 OR I'LL | | DIE TRYING! | +-------------+ Doug: What's this say -- I'll live to 100 -- (audience laughs) or die trying. Anticipating an Old Man Perrywinkle question are we?
Doug: All right, they're all set. Michael, question again. Ed said, "My wife is such a terrible cook, she burned << BLANK >> at breakfast this morning." Michael: I'm going to go with a food that doesn't need cooking. I'm gonna say that she burned the CEREAL that morning. (audience cheers) Doug: That's what I was thinking. But you don't get points for matching me. You score your points by matching our stars -- starting with the royal one. Josh? Josh: My Frosted Flakes tasted funny... Because she burned the [MILK]! (buzz) (scattered applause) Doug: Ehh -- in the ballpark -- but not close enough. Chad, what was Mrs. Ed burning at breakfast? Chad: I'm a terrible cook too, so I can relate to this poor woman. [CEREAL] (ding; audience applause) Doug: And we've got our first match in the game. Greg, do you make it the second? Greg: Toast. (buzz) (scattered applause) Doug: Implying the Mrs. doesn't know when to say when. Not a bad answer as we visit the Ryan Express. Ed said, "My wife is such a terrible cook, she burned << BLANK >> at breakfast this morning." Michael said cereal. What say ye? Ryan: I watched an episode of "The Simpsons" and I saw Homer do this when he had to fill in for Smithers, and had to take care of Mr. Burns. Homer actually burned... +=============+ | A Bowl of | | Corn Flakes | +=============+ (a few applaud) (buzz) (scattered groans) Doug: Now now -- general answers do not match specifics -- and vice versa. If Michael said "Corn Flakes", he'd match Ryan -- but not Chad. Back to comparing answers and Brian. Brian: Doug, I think I've nearly done this days ago... [Pop Tarts] (scattered laughter) (buzz) Doug: Again -- she doesn't know when to say when. And Chris, wrap this up for us. Chris: Anyone can burn toast or eggs or bacon...but I say she's so bad she burnt... +--------+ | ORANGE | | JUICE! | +--------+ (audience laughs) (buzz) Doug: That is bad.
MILK | CEREAL | TOAST
...CORN FLAKES | POP TARTS | ORANGE JUICEMichael's response: CEREAL
Doug: Well, Michael, you matched one answer and danced around with two others. Cassie, we'll see how well you do with B.MG ROUND 1 CONTINUES
