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)

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 JUICE

Michael'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.
