Well, here we are again. It's the first show of the new season. It's still $ale, players still start with $20, but we have some changes. - Century Vault: In Round 2, the player in the lead can pay $10 to enter the Century Vault. They'll win a random dollar amount from $100 to $10,000.
- Instant Cash: The CashCard is gone. In this minigame, the player in the lead can give up the amount of their lead (whatever it is) to pick one of three screens. One screen hides $1,000 in cash. One screen hides $1,000 in cash plus a bonus pick at the Winners' Board. And only one of them hides a jackpot which starts at $10,000 and goes up by $5,000 for each night it isn't won.
- After the third Fame Game, the player with the lowest score (i.e. the player in third) is dropped.
And finally, there's the new Winners' Board. Players are now competing for picks off the board. You get three just for winning the game, another for scoring over $100 in the main game, a chance for one at Instant Cash, and we're also hiding a bonus pick on the Fame Game board. That's a maximum of six picks off the board. Here's what we've got. - 1 space for each level prize 1/2/3/4/5 (prizes from $10,000-$40,000 [and totaling about $150,000 in value]), one is usually a trip)
- 2 spaces for the car (must find both to win) (Up to $110,000 in value)
- 2 spaces for a $100,000 cash bonus (must find both to win)
- 8 cash spaces (ranging from $10,000 to $25,000)
- 3 money bags: Find all three and win $500,000 in cash + All remaining prizes on board (i.e. The Lot)
What's different now is that every time you want to come back, you have to risk the prizes you picked up off the Winners' Board. The spaces for the prizes you selected in previous games will be cleared (minus the spaces you have to match). Again, if you win the Lot, you will be eligible to play a two-game Million Dollar $uper $ale match against our current champion (Marc Enyedy) for $1,000,000 in cash and a new car. So, we're looking for three new players. Who wants to play?

Steve: (VO) Thank you for coming aboard S.S. Grundy. The following instructions will guide your journey and provide an opportunity to win hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prize awards.
Our programs are set to 30 minutes airtime, inclusive of 6 minutes national time, and 2 minutes local advertising time on most affiliates of the Fox Broadcasting Company. For our friends in the Fall River, MA area --- WNAC, Fox Providence for those playing at home---, expect to see spots for Ocean State Job Lots and Nate Lions---The Home of Warehouse Pricing.
Please note the area of exit on the stage, as this is where our associates at the Internal Revenue Service will stand by to shake your hand and provide you with your 1099-MISC forms. Please make sure your information is up to date.
In the event of a water landing......it's the beginning of a joke once told by George Carlin during his airline announcements routine. Whether this will turn up as a question on the show is solely up to our writers although Steve and Pinkie have already provided plenty of ideas....and can someone please convince Pinkie that the party is over from Saturday night? She need not still be wearing the "welcome 2023" hat, but for our money she's probably already got one prepared for "Welcome 2024".
Now to important business. Should our host be limited in capacity or otherwise unable to right the spaceship, our second in command, Mr. Burton Richardson, will attend to matters behind the scenes and behind the announcer's booth as well, and Steve Anderson will attend to hosting duties. Please expect a "PM" from "ASja2002" in that instance.
Please note that all awards over $1,000,000 in cash value may be elected as a 5-year annuity payment, or a 70% value lump sum agreement. And yes, we stole that from "The Price is Right"
John Cleese: Not that it matters, what are they going to do to us, take us off? Criminy, Fremantle owns pretty much the entire lot of Game programming besides our anti-comrades at SSSSSoony and that Mouse-Eared being at Walt---
Steve: Get on with it! Please?
John: Right. 5-year annuity or cash payout.
Steve: And with that information kindly in hand, please stand by, the 7pm news is over in most markets, and we shall be commencing in 5....4....3....2....
(Fade in. Camera rapidly pulls back from a close shot of Earth and tracks through our entire solar system showing the Sun and its planets in their relationship to each other in a continually changing perspective. As we continue to pull away and our solar system diminishes in size, our camera executes a 180 degree turn and forges faster ahead through our galaxy... We focus on a starship that looks very much like the USS Enterprise-D, except it's marked with a giant, gold, stylized “G” shape on the top surrounded by a crystal icosahedron.) Patrick Stewart: (VO) Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Grundy. Its continuing mission: to give away large amounts of --- wait a minute!(cut to recording studio where we find Patrick Stewart himself) Stewart: I know Paramount owns your other show but this is insane. I am an urbane and sophisticated Shakespearean actor... (he turns around and sees the Fox logo behind him) who will take any opportunity for a paycheck.Greg: (from the other side) Let's take it from the top, please. Stewart: Very well. (starting from the top, back to the USS Grundy) (VO) Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Grundy. Its continuing mission: to give away large amounts of cash and prizes. To seek out new champions and challenge all lifeforms. To boldly go where no one has gone before!(the starship goes into warp speed and blasts off, cut to opening sequence)

(the doors open, and I run through them and to my lectern) Thank you. Thank you very much, Steve Anderson. Welcome to $ale of the Century. I'm delighted to be back with you on Fox, and thrilled to be here with the show that I know you're going to enjoy. How do you like our new set? (audience cheers) Executive Producers GREG PALMER ANDREW BROOKE KAREN GREENE
Co-Executive Producer EVELYN WARFEL
Produced by KAREN BENTLEY STEVEN ANDERSON ADAM SANDLER
Directed by MARIO SILVESTRI
We're coming to you from our new set in the furthest reaches of space... (flatly) or the Connecticut Film Center in Stamford, whichever you prefer. We're starting our 41st year since the current format debuted in America in 1983. Back then, Sally Julian co-hosted. But now, I'm going to enjoy every night introducing Stacey Wren! [Co-Host Bed] (Stacey walks out to cheers and applause) Hello, Stacey. (the two of us embrace) Stacey: Hello, Greg. (she looks around) Wow... this is amazing. Look at the contestant area...And the Fame Game board.Greg: I know. All the comforts of home thousands of light-years away. Anyway, how was your Christmas vacation? Stacey: It was great. I went back home to Australia, spent time with family and friends, co-hosted a pilot for a revival of the Australian version. They're filming at Disney Studios Australia.Greg: Makes sense. Anyway, would you introduce our three challengers, please? (As Stacey introduces the contestants, models of the opposite gender escort them to their seats)Stacey: Sure. Our first contestant is a hobby photographer with a keen interest in taking photos of anything he comes across. From Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, here's Brendan Richards. Our second player is a senior medical student at the University of South Alabama who has an interest in collecting bowling balls. Please welcome Kyle Simmons. And finally, our last contestant is a former piano teacher who moved from Okay, Oklahoma to Whynot, North Carolina. He has an interest in developing a man cave. Here's Frank Jones.(audience cheers) Greg: Alright. Thank you very much. Now, Frank, you moved to Whynot, North Carolina. That's an interesting town name. Do you know the story of how it got its name?

Well, I did some research before the show, and here's what I learned: Whynot was founded in 1860 when a post office was built along the 129-mile Fayetteville and Western Plank Road that connected Winston-Salem to Fayetteville. A town meeting was held to pick a name for the new community, but residents wouldn’t stop suggesting names. Why not name it this? Why not name it that? Finally, after hours of this, one fed-up farmer by the name of Martin Auman said, "Let's name it Whynot and let's go home!" The bored citizenry quickly agreed.
Stacey: That's fascinating. There's a town in South Australia called Snowtown that was named on a whim by the then State Governor in 1878, after his friend, Thomas Snow. Anyway, what would you like to put in your mancave?
