I know, Bob and Frank. It's hard not to stare and admire a good player's work on this show. But if you want to win, you have to buzz in.

[FAME GAME]

Thankfully for you two, we're adding a $15 Money Card to the board, so Frank could tie and Bob could come pretty close. Looking for a famous THING.

That's right. They're my favorites. (I put a Pringles can on my lectern and pull out three more) OK, players. Catch! (I toss three cans to the players) Free Pringles for everyone. I would hand them out to the audience, but.... there's no audience.

Liz, where's the $15?

Greg: No money card this time, but what has Frank won?




*Applause, Engine Revving*

Greg: It's a CAR!!!!! Steve. tell us about Frank's prize?

[asja2002]

[Bean Stalker_Voiceover]




For your driving enjoyment, it's the 2021 Nissan Versa S. Features all the standard equipment plus CVT transmission, Anti-Lock Brakes, Bluetooth Stereo and California Emission. It's the Nissan Versa S. With on-road costs, this prize is worth: $17,114!

[palmer7]

That is a huge prize, and that car is yours to keep regardless of how well you do in the game. In fact, why don't we wheel it in?

(And so, the Nissan is brought on stage.) Frank, during the break, check out your car. And before we go to break, listen carefully, becuase Steve's got some important information about our $5 bill contest starting this coming Monday. We'll be right back.
