(For the movie audience only, a montage of the first 100 episodes of $ale of the Century hosted by yours truly) (fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Welcome back. I've just learned that this, ladies and gentlemen, is the 100th episode. We are 100 not out tonight! (audience cheers) Now, if this were a normal episode, we would have a $100 Money Card up on the Fame Game board. However, since it is a tournament episode, we have something else in mind. But first, let's get back to the game. Vahan: $30 [LCS: R3P1] Frank: $40
Frank is in the lead by $10. Every dollar is important, though, as this is the last chance to get into tomorrow night's final. Let's get back to the questions. 1. Who resigned as U.S. president in 1974? 2. In what modified vegetable did Cinderella travel to the ball in? 3. With the initials "S.D.", what band was called "the perfect musical antiheroes for the seventies" by Rolling Stone magazine? 4. Teri Garr and Jessica Lange were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscars for what 1982 movie starring Dustin Hoffman? 5. Give me the next line to this birthday song.And here to sing it is Katy Perry! (the audience cheers as Katy stands at Steve's booth, ready to serenade him) Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day
Boy when you're with me I'll give you a taste Make it like your birthday everyday I know you like it sweet So you can have your cake Give you something good to celebrate
So make, a wish I'll make it like your birthday everyday I'll be, your gift (buzzcodes and answers, please)

1. Who resigned as U.S. president in 1974? (buzzcode: 79) *Frank buzzes in (68)*Frank? Frank: Nixon (Richard Nixon)The way you said that makes him sound like James Bond. You're right. (ding) Vahan: $30 [LCS: R3P1] Frank: $45
2. In what modified vegetable did Cinderella travel to the ball in? (buzzcode: 57) *Vahan buzzes in (61)*Vahan? Vahan: PumpkinYes, that's right. Eating into Frank's lead. (ding) Vahan: $35 [LCS: R3P1] Frank: $45
3. With the initials "S.D.", what band was called "the perfect musical antiheroes for the seventies" by Rolling Stone magazine? (buzzcode: 53) *Vahan buzzes in (62)*Vahan? Vahan: Steely DanExactly right. They're like Deadpool, except they probably don't swear as much. (ding) Vahan: $40 [LCS: R3P1] Frank: $45
4. Teri Garr and Jessica Lange were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscars for what 1982 movie starring Dustin Hoffman? (buzzcode: 80) *Vahan buzzes in (63)*Vahan? Vahan: TootsieAnd just like that, we have a tie. (ding) Vahan: $45 [LCS: R3P1] Frank: $45
5. Give me the next line to this birthday song. And here to perform it is Katy Perry! [ "Birthday"Written by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Bonnie McKee, and Henry Walter Performed by Katy Perry] (the audience cheers as Katy stands at Steve's booth, ready to serenade him) Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day Every birthday, every every birthday Every birthday, every every day (record scratch) Katy: Wait a minute, this must be the Cash Cash Remix! Those are not the original lyrics to the song.Greg: Just go with it, please. Skip a bit, Sean. Thank you. (Sean skips a bit) Boy when you're with me I'll give you a taste Make it like your birthday everyday I know you like it sweet So you can have your cake Give you something good to celebrate
So make, a wish I'll make it like your birthday everyday I'll be, your gift
(nobody buzzes in) (buzzer)Greg: And nobody knew the answer to that anyway. Go ahead and finish to a satisfying conclusion. (music starts back up) Katy: Give you something good to celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate Celebrate, celebrate (Celebrate)
Give you something good to celebrate So make, a wish I'll make it like your birthday everyday I'll be, your gift Give you something good to celebrate
Happy birthday
So let me get you in your birthday suit It's time to bring out the big balloons So let me get you in your birthday suit It's time to bring out the big balloons
(Greg motions for the music to end) Greg: I think we've had quite enough, thank you. (Katy gives Steve a big kiss on the lips, audience wooos, Katy departs) Katy Perry, everyone! (audience cheers) The next line was "Give you something good to celebrate", and that was a request by Steve Anderson. So far, he's having the luckiest day of his life, and if she wasn't engaged to Legolas, it would have been even better for Steve. Vahan, Frank, I do apologize. Apparently, Songfacts, the website I get lyrics from, had the lyrics to the remix and not the album version. [CASHCARD] Vahan: $45 [LCS: CA$HCARD] Frank: $45
Sometimes you don't need pronouns. Well, it's Ca$hCard time again, and we have a tie. Four cards, one of them has $75,000. The other three are each worth $5,000. Normally, we'd ask the player who is in the lead to sacrifice their lead for a chance at the money. However, here's what we're going to do. You're going to each write down (PM me) a bid, minimum of $1. The highest bid wins. If one of you passes, the other person automatically gets it. If you both pass or bid nothing, I throw it open to the T-Mobile Hotline. You may bid as much as you want or as little as you want, given the circumstances. Highest bid wins. You have 30 seconds to write a bid down, good luck. (the lights dim as the two players make their bids)(please PM me a bid or "PASS")

(the lights come back up) OK, let's see what everyone bid. We start with Frank. He passes. OK, Vahan, it's yours. Name your price. He bids $5. We take $5 off your score. (some in the audience applaud) Vahan: $40 [LCS: CA$HCARD] Frank: $45
And now, we ask you to pick a suit.

(he stops)Stopping just to the left, #1. What's back there? Steve: (VO) And behind #1 is...One Hundred Thoooooousand Dollars!["Mardi Gras" by Henrik Nielsen](the audience loses their collective minds, all COVID-19 protocols are broken as the entire audience is in a happy catharsis, Stacey presents Vahan with a Reg Grundy Memorial Suitcase of Cash and Vahan gives her a big ol' kiss on the lips; Greg proceeds to kiss the first woman he finds, Katy Perry) Steve: No fair! I called her first!Greg: OK, you kiss her! (and he does) Katy: But what about Orlando?Greg: Orlando's wonderful! Katy: No, my boyfriend. What's he doing to say?Greg: Aww, to hell with Legolas! (the two proceed to lose their minds, but as the music ends, Greg has to go back to his lectern) Well, that was exciting. Just think, Vahan, you've already won $175,000 in cash in the last five minutes. Your thoughts on the whole thing, sir?
