I guess if nobody has signed up in this long, you can. One more player (and please, be someone new!). |

[BGM: "Right on Track" by The Breakfast Club] (We find The "New" Avengers defending Switzerland against the threat of The Mandarin. This group consists of Sam Wilson as the new Captain America, War Machine, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, The Wasp, Winter Soldier, and our own Greg Palmer as Iron Man. [Extended battle available on Disney+.] Just then, Greg gets a notification from FRIDAY.) FRIDAY: (VO) Boss?(we go inside Greg's HUD) Greg: I'm a little busy, Friday. What is it? FRIDAY: It's almost time for work. At this rate, I don't expect us to return in time. Greg: Well, saving the world is more important than my job. I'm Executive Producer now, remember? I guess I'll have to find a guest host. (he thinks it over while he continues to blast away the Mandarin's gooks) I have an idea. A few years ago, I switched places with Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News. This year, we're going to go back even further.... (he grins) |

(the two are already at the lectern, the audience doesn't applaud because they don't know what to think)
Stone: Good evening, and welcome to a very special half-hour version of Dateline. Tonight, Jane and I have been asked to moderate a very special competition. A game of knowledge, skill, and nerve.
Jane: One player who has done quite well with this game is our returning champion, James Greek.
(audience applauds; Jane immediately grabs a chair and sits six feet away from James, as if to conduct an intimate interview)
Jane: Hello, James. You've won $414,162 in cash and prizes. Do you consider that amount of money life-changing?

Now, would you please introduce the two challengers? Jane: You introduce the two challengers.Stone: (attempting to maintain his composure) Alright, I will. (as the theme to Meet the Press plays, Katie and Maria escort players to their seats)Our first player is a piano player and piano teacher from Okay, Oklahoma. Please welcome Frank Jones.

What I test for Wikimedia is the Wikipedia app available on the App Store (on iOS) and Google Play (on Android); in the "About the app" section my credit reads simply as "Testers: QA tested by /tsgteam.org".

(Jane looks it up on her phone)
Jane: Oh, I found it! The Specialists Guild, "a not-for-profit social enterprise established to provide training for individuals with developmental social and communication challenge, such as autism, to contribute to society in line with their intelligence and abilities and support them to develop meaningful and self-supporting careers." And there's your picture on the home page.
Stone: Jane, I think you just outed him as autistic.
Jane: Well, there's nothing wrong with it. Nicholas, I'm going to let you in on a secret. I'm bipolar, and it was caused by hives treatment. My doctor gave me what was essentially a lie in that I was treated for a "thyroid disorder". That's what he offered to tell NBC. But I want to tell you, there's nothing wrong with being what you are and having this mental illness. God, I want to hug you right now. But I can't.
