MG Round 1 Question B

 

 

Doug: (grabs B; walks to panel) All right, here's Cassie's first turn 
at bat.  And before we go further, please join me in congratulating 
our own Chad Mosher -- who recently graduated from the University 
of Michigan-Flint.  (audience applause) Such milestone event is 
the basis for Cassie's question.

Gossip columnist Roma Garrett said, "Art is imitating life.  Chad 
Mosher is starring in an updated version of the movie 'The Graduate'.  
Trying to seduce the young graduate is Mrs. Robinson -- played by
<< BLANK >>."

(audience laughs) (think music plays) 

 

(stars write)
 
Chad: Ooohh, you crafty, crafty writers.

Doug: Hey, timely question.  I think I know what Chad's answer will be.

 

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

Gossip columnist Roma Garrett said, "Art is imitating life.  Chad 
Mosher is starring in an updated version of the movie 'The Graduate'.  
Trying to seduce the young graduate is Mrs. Robinson -- played by
<< BLANK >>."

Cassie: I'm taking a very wild guess here. I say, Angelina Jolie.

(some laugh; other groan)

Doug: Well -- let's see -- without disclosing anyone's ages, there
*is* more than a 10-year difference between his age and hers.  
*Could* happen.  Let's see if anyone over here wrote Angelina.
Josh, we start again with you.

Josh: I don't think Chad is quite *that* young, so we'll reflect 
for age and say, I think it might be [BETTY WHITE].

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: Suddenly -- I don't have faith in *my* answer.  Well, Chad,
I was gonna save yours for last -- but who did *you* think was
Mrs. Robinson?

Chad:  Well, I answered with personal experience.  Someone that 
I wouldn't mind filling the, uh, role of Mrs. Robinson...

[MEREDITH VIEIRA]

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: I *should've* known.  See, I was thinking one of the 
desperate housewives -- Dana Delany.

Chad: Oh I love them too. But Ms. Meredith takes tops at all
times. ;)

(audience laughs)

Doug: Eh, fair enough.  Cassie, I have a feeling the rest of 
the answers are women with prominent game show connections.
But we'll see if Angelina came to Greg's mind.

Greg: I went for the most oddest couple to link with Chad.
(card) Helen Mirren.

(audience laughs) (buzz)

Doug: Rocked a bikini a couple of years or so ago.  Good thought
as we visit Ryan.  Gossip columnist Roma Garrett said, "Art is
imitating life.  Chad Mosher is starring in an updated version 
of the movie 'The Graduate'.  Trying to seduce the young graduate
 is Mrs. Robinson -- played by ..."

Ryan: (card)

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: One would hope her performances have improved since 
"Goddess of Love".  (audience laughs)  Brian the Cable Guy,
your thoughts.

Brian: After hearing that question, I have immediately 
thought of...

[Betty White]

(buzz) (audience applause) 

Doug: Another Betty -- arguably the hottest in Cleveland.  And
Chris, wrap this up for us.

Chris: Guess I could've picked a different "center square"...
but, considering his run on "Millionaire" a few years ago, 
I went with...

+----------+
| MEREDITH |
|  VIEIRA  |
+----------+

(buzz) (audience applause) 

Doug: Ya know, on one of the other shows I host, I have an 
occasional category called Initial Descriptions -- where we'd
take some famous person's initials and describe them using
words that start with those initial letters.

In this case, Meredith Vieira could've been "Millionaire's Vixen".
(audience laughs)  And now I can't use it since she's left 
"Millionaire".

 

BETTY WHITE | MEREDITH VIEIRA | HELEN MIRREN
VANNA WHITE | BETTY WHITE | MEREDITH VIEIRA

Cassie's response: ANGELINA JOLIE

 

 

Doug: Well, a lotta laughs but just one match for Michael.  We'll
meet our players and start Round 2 -- after this.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
