It’s OK with me. Let’s hope I’m just a little luckier than I was last game.

Yes, let's hope you are, too. After all, you do have a title to defend. Good luck to you.
Next, we have Vahan. Welcome back, and sorry to call you back on short notice. Would you like to say anything before I speak to Frank?

Well, while we wouldn't want you to get exhausted from this, you do know that if you don't win tonight, you'll have to play the second runner-up in the "last chance match" to determine that third spot. This is quickly becoming a marathon. Good luck to you.
Finally, Frank, who is seemingly well-rested. You won just enough in cash and prizes to make it here tonight. Now, in earlier shows, you mentioned your man cave. How is that coming along?

well the only one that's got anywhere, Outburst. But, some other pilots that hopefully get some traction are 10 clues and Bamboozle.

(We see a man whose face should be familiar to those following the more adult side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe... or rather, the Fox half. It's Wade Wilson, alias Deadpool.) Deadpool: That right Gregorino!!! Greggy-boy!!! Gregster!!! I am the one, the only, the Merc with a mouth… I am Deadpool!!! Hold on a second.(television static; Deadpool standing in a kitchen not unsimilar to Julia Child’s, wearing the appropriate wig while in costume) (Julia Child accent) And sauté the roast duckling in a cappuccino glaze and chocolate drizzle, until it just wants to scream Deadpool with Donald Duck voice wearing a sailor hat: Help me!! help me!!! This wacko has gone insane!!!(television static) [ NBC Nightly News theme ("The Mission, Part 1") by John Williams] …Hello …Dead Brokaw with the NBC Nightly News... Top story: your Instant Bargaintelevision static [Maximum Effort (Deadpool OST) - Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg]Have we given this away yet? We should. It’s my favorite pinball game of all time…and not just because I’m all over it!
Players will be immersed in my-- that's right-- MY universe! Teaming up with iconic X-Men characters Wolverine, Dazzler, Domino, and Colossus--- who are they? --- as they battle against infamous villains Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Mystique, Sauron, and Mr. Sinister. Players will also tag along with Me on MY time machine quests as I!! battle against the T-Rex and the Megalodon.
It’s from Stern Pinball and it’s normally worth $69! Hundred dollars!!$6900 But if you want… we will give it to you tonight on the $ale for just six loonies! It’s a steal, a grab, a discount, a great buy!!
Take it away Palmer!!!(audience cheers, as I reluctantly join Deadpool at the pinball table) Greg: Well well, if it isn't Deadpool. You know, I saw where you tied up Fred Savage. I went to see that charity project you did, thought it was rather interesting, but I left the theater needing a shower. Badly. Now, where is my co-host? Deadpool: Wouldn't you like to know? Let's flash back to when Stan Lee was alive, shall we?(flashback to a scene in the first "movie" -- now available at a forum where I am banned -- where Deadpool was promised a chance to be a contestant; flash forward) Deadpool: I never got that audition. So now, I'm taking revenge. Let's show the audience at home where your lovely co-host... and your girlfriend... are being held.(We cut to inside the Spaceship Earth ride, where Stacey and Shuri are tied up, bound, and gagged. They are high up inside, almost at the very top. Back to stage.) Deadpool: And it's a long way down, eh? Here's how it's going to be, Palmerino. I'm going to cohost for the rest of the show, you dig? If everything goes well, then maybe I let them go. Otherwise, they'll have to find their way out themselves, and maybe I'll kill them later.(This enrages Greg.) Greg: Why you little---!! Deadpool: Eh eh eh, temper temper. You've got a show to do.(This forces Greg to calm down.) Greg: (through clenched teeth, to Deadpool) We are not done here. (to Marc, normal, pleasant voice) Marc..... Do you like Deadpool? Do you like pinball?

Deadpool: Aww shucks, Marc, I like you, too. Hey, I got a great idea, Palmer. Why don't you drop the price down by one?
Greg: Five bucks? Would you buy this for $5?
