Otis: Renovate the house. We've got leaky faucets all over the house, and the toilet needs fixin', and what all...

Greg: Well, I'm sure you'll be able to get a lot of plumbing fixed with 10-grand. Congratulations, Otis. Stay on the line, we'll have someone talk to you about that check. Thank you, Otis.

Otis: God bless you.

Greg: And God bless you, too. Goodbye. (I hang up, audience cheers) Ah, I love giving away money like that. CashCard will be at $40,000 tomorrow night.

(buzzcode: 47)

That's right, because 10 percent of 40 is 4, multiplied by 4... well, you get the idea.

2. Apple Brown Betty is a dessert comprised of apples and what ingredient?

Frank?

Matterhorn

(buzzer)

Incorrect. No money lost, but you are out for the rest of the question. Let's take a look at the next word.

[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]

Park.

*Bob buzzes in (50)*
Bob?

[robthr]

I'll guess EPCOT.

[palmer7]

(buzzer)

Good guess, but wrong. And it's a big break for Matt, because he gets the rest of the puzzle to himself. Again, Matt, three seconds to solve once I finish reading the full thing. Let's see the whole puzzle, players don't say anything.


[__DISNEY'S___] [____ONLY_____] [____PARK_____]

[_____ON______] [__EUROPEAN___] [__CONTINENT__]


(beep)

Disney's only park on European continent. Matt, solve the puzzle.

[mringgenberg]

Disneyland Paris

[palmer7]

(ding)

That is correct. Disneyland Paris. I'd like to go there, someday. Maybe during the summer break. Minnie, where's the $25 Money Card?

(lights in motion)

It's at #2. Well, Matt, if you get that $25, you'll be... closer to Bob. Good luck and fire when ready. (An unused letter from A-I, please)

[mringgenberg]

A

[asja2002]

[palmer7]

(he stops)

You got the $15!

(fanfare)
(cheers and applause)



Bob: $97
Matt: $45
Frank: $40


We add the $15 to your score, and that cuts into Bob's lead. He now has only a $52 lead. Will he break the $100 mark? Will Matt or Frank overtake him? All those questions will be answered in the Century Round. Stay tuned.

(main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)

Greg: We just want to take this moment to express our condolences to the family of George Floyd and all those who have been victimized by the tragic events that have befallen this country. We stand with the family of George Floyd, with the peaceful protesters, and with every law-abiding citizen who wants decency.

There’s never an excuse for the type of violent riots unfolding now. No American should ever have to watch their own community burn to the ground. To that end, Fremantle, 20th Century Television by way of The Walt Disney Company, and NBC will each be donating $10,000,000 to Communities United for Police Reform, Communities United Against Police Brutality, and The Legal Rights Center. It is possible to have law, order, and justice for all.

[palmer7]

(cheers and applause)

Greg: Thank you very much, Steve. One other shameless plug I'd like to put in, there's a new comic book coming out from Marvel that's written by Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, and Man of Action. (I hold it up) It's called Greg Palmer as Iron Man, and the first three issues are out in comic book stores and newsstands now. You can read the first issue for free at marvel.com/free. I'm in it, along with Steve, Burton, and Stacey; and it's all in line with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
