Name two pop hits by The Temptations that reached #1.
Doug: Brian.
Brian: "My Girl" and "I Can't Help Myself"
Doug: "My Girl" is right -- but "I Can't Help Myself" wasn't a chart-topper. So, Eddie and Matt each collect 50.

Doug: "My Girl" topped the charts in 1965. The others: "I Can't Get Next To You" from '69, "Just My Imagination" from '71, "and "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" in '72. OK, we move on to another question.

Doug: Champ off to an early lead. The night, however, is young. We go on to a little broadcast history for the next question.
The ABC News broadcast Nightline was created as a result of what tragedy?
Doug: Matt.
Matt: Munich Olympics?
Doug: Mmm... not a bad guess considering ABC had the rights to broadcast the Olympics back then. But ya had to fast forward about eight years to the Iran hostage crisis to find the start of Nightline. So, Eddie and Brian each score that time.

Doug: (shakes head) Oh, that Rich. Next question -- Matt you could tie for second here.
In the movies, when Hannibal Lector said, "I ate his liver, with some fava beans and a nice chianti," was he referring to his mailman, his lawyer or a census taker?

(audience applause) (bells ring)
Doug: And that's the midway point in the round. Eddie with the lead and 350, Brian in second with 200 and Matt with 100. Let's visit D.J. with our Dice Risk.
D.J.: And thanks, Doug. Gentlemen, this is your first opportunity to wager some or all of score on a game of chance. As always, we start with Dice Risk. Behind the numbers 1 through 6, we have cards ranked between 4 and 10 inclusive with no duplicates *and* no 7. Eddie, since you're the champ, you get to pick a number and determine the dealer's point.
Eddie: Let's go with 4.
D.J.: Behind 4 we find -- a 4. Now, please join me in welcome our dealer. He's back at the Bonus Island Resort and Casino as the pit boss. Here's Dirty Harry.
(DH walks out to his usual chorus of boos)
D.J.: OK, so the point's been determined as 4. Players, in a moment, you'll each place a bet as to whether or not you think he can roll a 4 in seven rolls of a standard pair of dice.
If you think he'll succeed, bet on "PASS". But, if you think he'll roll a 7 before succeeding in making his point, bet on "DON'T PASS".
All correct predictions pay off at 1-to-1, all wrong guesses deduct the amount of the original wager from your score and if Harry doesn't roll a 4 or 7 after seven rolls, all bets result in a push.
Doug: And remember, the minimum bet is CY$50, max is "all in" and you must bet in multiples of 50. To reiterate, Eddie has the lead with 350, Brian's in second with 200 and Matt has 100. Place your bets.

CY$200Doug: And everyone's locked in. Champ's betting 150 on "DON'T PASS", Matt bets all in against Harry, Brian is going all in and favoring Harry. I dunno, Brian; 4's a tough number to roll -- but we'll see. Back to the dice table we go.
(DH rolls)
D.J.: And Harry starts with snake eyes; a 2.
D.J.: Four-six -- that's a 10.
D.J.: Six-two -- an 8. Four rolls to go.
D.J.: One and six. That's a 7. We've got two winners -- and Brian's not one of them. Sorry, Brian.
