Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Chicago did have one more #1 without Cetera, "Look Away", but now that Bill Champlain is gone... I don't know. They haven't had a Top 40 hit since 1991. Thanks, Steve. [FAME GAME]Fame Game time, last chance to get something off the board. We've got all three Money Cards up there, the Major Wager is gone, but we still have the Double Play hidden up there. Looking for a famous PERSON. (whoosh as the puzzle board appears on screen)

[STEPHEN COLBERT]
(ding)(audience cheers) That's right, it is Stephen Colbert. Full clue reads " Late Show host, drives a Tesla". Stephen once said on his show, "I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.” The man makes 15 million dollars a year and drives a Tesla, and he tells us we should pay more at the pump. Hmmph. Stacey, where's the $25 Money Card?

(lights in motion)Stacey: It's behind #8.Greg: Marc, the $25 would help you, but what would really help you out is the Double Play. That could change the whole game. Also, keep in mind that we've replaced the Major Wager with 5,000 gallons of gasoline. So, there's a lot to play for here. Good luck and fire when ready. (an unused letter from A-I, please)

(he stops)Well, he misses and lands at #6. Hope we have something good back there. What is it, Steve? Steve: (VO) And behind number six is Gold!("Gold [Instrumental]") [Remix by Chris Walsh]This portfolio features 24 karat gold bars and Eagle coins that are .9999 fine. And Rosland Capital will maintain your precious metals until the end of the year. This package is worth $20,000!(audience cheers) Greg: Well, that doesn't help your score any, but it is a very nice prize that will help protect your wealth from economic crises, governments printing money, and uncertain times. (suddenly, appearing out of nowhere is William Devane) Devane: Hi, I'm William Devane. Just in the course of the 21st century, the price of gold has risen 300%, while the purchasing power of the dollar has declined by more than 25%. During inflation currencies can lose value, while precious metals have historically retained value.Greg: Uh, Bill? Devane: Rosland Capital offers the expertise to help you make smart decisions about obtaining precious metals products and about building a diverse asset portfolio.Greg: Bill? Devane: Emerging economic powers such as Brazil, China, Russia, South Korea, India, and Mexico, are all purchasing tons of gold. Why? Gold is a time-tested way to protect and preserve a country’s wealth, and it’s no different for individual people with portfolios, who include gold for the very same reasons.Greg: GREG SUMNER! (Devane stops) Devane: That's not my name.Greg: I don't give a hoot in hell what your name is right now. What are you doing on stage? Devane: Oh, I came with the gold. Marc, with a $20,000 order, you get $1,000 in bonus gold as of the day of taping. So, I came to give you your $1,000 in bonus gold. (Devane gives him his bonus $1,000 in gold, audience cheers) Greg: Thank you very much. William Devane for Rosland Capitol. Now, please sit down. (audience cheers as Devane sits next to Tony and Judith) What next? Well, we'll find out who wins in the Century Round, coming up. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)

(back in Greg's dressing room.... Greg zips up his trousers zipper and is washing his hands thoroughly when an Inter-Dimensional Portal opens up. Out of it comes Doctor Strange.) Greg: Eh, Doctor. What brings you here? Strange: I have seen five million, four hundred thirty nine thousand, three hundred and twelve timelines and in all of them, Bruce Banner is angry with you. Why didn't you tell me you were planning on taking over Wakanda?
Shuri: (off-camera) Why indeed? (suddenly, Shuri makes herself known, and is she mad!) Greg: Uh, hi, Shuri. Shuri: I overheard everything. You just can't wait to be king, can you? My brother is incapacitated, and you can't wait to take over the throne. Is that all I am to you!? A stepping stone!?!?Greg: (getting more nervous) Well.... n-no. I was actually going to let you rule the country while I saved the world as the Iron Panther. Shuri: Iron Panther? This is all a game to you, isn't it? Do you think that just by marrying me, you can claim the powers of the Black Panther and become king of Wakanda? That is not how it works at all.Greg: Where does it say that in the Wakandan law? (Shuri doesn't have an answer) Shuri: I don't know, but it wouldn't look right. The powers of the Black Panther belonged to my brother, who inherited them from my father. If anyone should be next in line, it is me!Greg: OK, OK, you can be the Black Panther. We can both be the Black Panther. Shuri: (insistant) No, I am the Black Panther!Greg: And I'm Iron Man. (pointing to Doctor Strange) That's Doctor Strange. Strange: I don't mean to interrupt this lover's quarrel, but Bruce is flying in a Quinjet as we speak. And when he gets here, he will Hulk out and effectively kick your ass.Greg: I'll just deploy the Hulkbuster armor and we'll fight it out in an open space. Maybe give the audience a show. Shuri: (half-heartedly) Good luck, you'll need it.Greg: Thanks. It's just another thing to add to my list, such as calling up Peter Parker. Strange: Spider-Man?Greg: Yeah. Strange: Well, about that....(a title card appears: To learn more about what happened to Peter Parker, watch Spider-Man: No Way Home) (back to story) Greg: Well, now we don't have a Spider-Man and he doesn't want to be found. That's just fantastic. Happy! (Happy walks in) Happy: Yes, Mr. Palmer?Greg: (to Happy) I have to get back to the show. Would you please round up some more of The Avengers? Happy: Sure.Greg: Alright. Shuri, you're the Black Panther. We'll continue this discussion later. (he walks out)

(buzzcode: 27) *James buzzes in (65)*James? James: Atlantic OceanThat's right, you win! Marc: $80 Vahan: $67 James: $85
[WIN CUE](audience cheers) [RECAP MUSIC]Boy howdy! That was some match. It came down to one tiebreaker question, but you did it. You beat Marc Enyedy, the $uper $ale champion. Back to you in a moment. Vahan, $67 is a respectable score, and hopefully it'll be enough to carry you into the last chance match. So far, you add to your total $7,002 in cash, a $12,998 TV, and the $67 in front of you. That's $20,067 in cash and prizes that we'll add to your total, and hopefully a lot more to come. Marc, you picked up $20,000 in gold and $22,000 in cash, so that's another $42,000 added to your total so far. $80 is a great score, and I think we'll be seeing you in the last chance match. Anything either of you would like to say before I whisk James off?

Thank you—both Vahan and James are worthy opponents. I was just a bit unlucky not to hit any Money Cards this time.
