(I walk out through the doors wearing a Tom Ford tuxedo to cheers and applause) Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Steve. Welcome, everyone, to $uper $ale, our special one-hour primetime edition of $ale of the Century. I hope all of you are doing well and are looking forward to this competition. We have two Lot winners who overcame incredible odds to get here, and at the end of this hour, one of them will win that beautiful car and $2,000,000 in cash. But, they're going to have to overcome incredible temptations to get there. Here to assist me is one of the beautiful stars of all those Avengers movies, Gwyneth Paltrow! (Minnie comes out to cheers and applause) Minnie again? Oh my goodness. What happened? I specifically asked for Gwyneth Paltrow, and I end up with Minnie. What happened? Steve: (VO) That's right, Greg. Between the car explosion, the Bob Newhart cameo, and your recurring music clearance rights, you blew the budget. Thankfully for you, Disney has decided to let you use their characters for free.Greg: Well, how do you like that? (Minnie hands me a note) Oh, another doctor's note? (I read the note) "Dear Greg, I still have lost my voice. My doctor and manager have put me on vocal rest for six months." Six months!? "On the bright side, that gives Steve more to announce. Signed, Minnie." Oh, that's wonderful. Anyway, Minnie, you look nice. Steve Anderson, would you please introduce our two contestants this evening? |

[Steve's Intro]Steve: (VO) Our first champion is a reviewer at New York Stage Review. He tried out for our program in the 1980s, and it was worth the wait to arrive on our stage. Having won $1,509,701 on his appearance, welcome back Bob Verini.
And next, this contestant got a lucky break on the Fame Game Board back in 2019 to win his Lot. With $2,436,681 in cash and prizes, welcome back Marc Enyedy!

All right. First, let's say hello to Marc Enyedy. Hiya, Marc. You're from Riverside, New Jersey; W-N-B-C territory. You ended up winning two cars and $2 million in cash. What have you done with the money so far?

I’ve given Uncle Sam his share of the dough, and I’ve saved most of the rest so I can buy a house in Florida.

I've spent most of my winnings on sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, and I frittered away most of the rest. So I'm ready to win again!

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, eh? I wouldn't mind hearing about the specifics of that, but this is a family show.
Now, while we're glad you won the Lot on the very first show, I was a bit disappointed because we didn't get to learn that much about you. I mean, you spent far more time with Alex Trebek than me. Is there anything you wanted to say that you didn't?
Also, compare and contrast your time on Jeopardy and Super Jeopardy to here.

Well, Greg, I live just outside of Boston, my favorite city, and I divide my time between coaching students on standardized testing and working up their college and grad school application essays, and reviewing theater. I guess I don't have to tell you which has occupied more time lately! But I really find it rewarding to help people conquer their fears of performing under pressure. Needless to say, my Jeopardy experiences taught me a lot about that, and I pass it along freely.
As for the comparison, well, it's all the same thing, isn't it?: To challenge yourself on whether you A, know a lot about all sorts of things and B, can dredge it back up quickly while millions are watching. Jeopardy is iconic and world famous, of course, but so is $ALE, and I'm every bit as proud of coming up with some obscure fact here, as I was back on the Trebek show. And the people are every bit as nice, too -- present company included!

Well, thank you very much. (audience cheers) Of course, our show would be nothing without the high caliber of contestants we get. Some of them are higher caliber than others, and you and Marc are two of the best. (audience cheers some more) And, I am expecting some good competition tonight. Good luck to both of you. Now, here's how tonight's hour is going to work. This will be a two-game cumulative match. We will play a complete game, go into the halftime show, then play the second complete game and then add the two scores together. The highest cumulative score at the end of the second game will win the Ferrari 458 Italia and $2,000,000 in cash. Plus, the next time somebody wins the Lot, you will be back to play for the new Lot winner's cash jackpot; and you can keep coming back as long as you win. The runner-up won't go away empty-handed, because Steve's got a whole bunch of very nice parting gifts which he'll tell us all about when the time comes. So, good luck to you both, and let's start both of you off with $20! (the board initializes)
Marc: $20

(cheers and applause) Well, Bob... isn't this nice? Now, we did our research on you and you're single right now. You know, you could find yourself a girl rather easily with this bracelet. And it's over $12,000 for just six, that's just a bit more than the value of a question. Do you have any ladies in mind?
