You are about to witness television history.
The smartest people in the country
are about to play the toughest game ever devised...
no saves, no helps, no multiple choice.
Our geniuses are ready.
The pressure is on. It's day 1.
Will anybody be able to answer 500 Questions?
Sync and Corrected by er1ck9 www.addic7ed.com
I'm Richard Quest.
This is 500 Questions.
The world's toughest questions, and only one simple rule...
don't ever get three wrong in a row.
If you do, you're gone.
All our contestants are certified geniuses.
Let's meet our first genius.
Where is he from?
Toledo, Ohio.
What does he do?
He's an attorney.
And what makes him a genius?
He graduated magna cum laude from columbia
and has a perfect S.A.T. Score.
It's Dan Mccarthy.
So, Dan...
- Yes? - You're an attorney.
Right.
You're used to defending people on appeal, correct?
That's right. I do criminal defense appeals.
So, my clients are mostly in prison, which I guess is nice,
'cause they... they... they can't bother me as much.
Over here, there is somebody
who is determined to make you fail.
Your challenger, where's he from?
Boston, Massachusetts.
What does he do?
He's a neuroscientist.
And what makes him a genius?
He's a published author,
and he's a visiting scholar at Harvard.
It is dr. Ogi Ogas.
Thank you.
You, sir, are very welcome.
We have an attorney versus a neuroscientist.
If this isn't genius, I don't know what is.
Your road to 500 questions starts
with the first 50 questions.
And these are your first 10 categories.
Medicine, Random, Asian History, The Bible, Rock Music,
'80s Films, Writers, The Presidency,
U.S. Landmarks, Cocktails and Spirits.
Now, to make any money, you have to get through all 50 questions.
You'll have 10 seconds to answer each one.
You can answer as many times as you like, of course,
but you'll only earn money if your first answer is correct.
And remember, don't get three wrong in a row.
- If you do, you're gone. - Gone.
The challenger will take your place.
Do you both understand the rules?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Then let's play 500 Questions.
Choose your first category.
$1,000 if it's the first right answer.
All right, well, I think I'm gonna
need some help to get through this,
so it seems fitting, let's start with The Bible.
- First question. - The Bible.
Calling a higher power into some assistance.
The Bible... First answer gives you $1,000.
You've got 10 seconds.
Here's the question.
10 seconds. - Seth.
Okay.
Absolutely.
All right.
$1,000 on your first question.
It was the correct answer.
And you answered it in just one second.
So, let's see
if you can try and beat that. - Right.
Your next category, please.
Let's try... let's do Cocktails and Spirits.
Cocktails and Spirits.
- 10 seconds. - Blood and sand.
Um... The Bloody Mary.
Correct answer... it wasn't your first,
so there's no money earned. - No, it wasn't the first.
- But you do continue to play. - I went a little too deep
on that one. All right.
Next category, please.
Let's do Rock Music.
Rock Music. $1,000 if it's your first.
Here's the question.
- 10 seconds. - AC/DC.
- Ah. - All right.
- $1,000... - Okay.
And, of course, just over a second.
Let's keep up the pace. Next question.
Let's keep doing that. Let's... let's do Rock Music again.
Rock music for $1,000... first answer.
And the question is...
- 10 seconds. - Uh, cher.
Uh, Dolly Parton.
Um, uh, uh...
Uh, Grace Slick.
Um...
Uh, uh, uh, Nancy Sinatra.
No.
You'll get a wrong on the board for that.
- Doctor. - It's Linda Ronstadt, man.
Absolutely right.
Linda Ronstadt.
Now, it's very important.
You've got a wrong on the board. - Okay.
And your goal here is to get rid of the wrong.
Right.
Quite early on to do that.
And you can obviously go for a new category,
or you can go to somewhere where your...
you feel it's a safe harbor.
- Right. - But you need to get rid of the wrong.
You know, I'm tempted to go with the bible again,
but I might be asking...
pressing my luck a little too hard there.
Let's do The Presidency.
- A new category. - New category.
- Battle. - Whoa!
That is a battle question.
Doctor, step into play and prepare for battle.
Here, we have multiple answers.
You will take turns going backwards and forwards.
You have 5 seconds each to answer.
But on this question,
I can only accept your first answer.
You will always be in control.
Do you want to lead or follow?
I think this is a strong category for me,
so I'm gonna lead.
Why does leading make that better for you?
Well, I guess you... you get the... the first, easier answers.
You can sort of knock those out,
and then the... the opponent has to struggle a little bit,
hopefully, to come up with his.
We'll find out.
A battle question...
you both understand how to play it.
Here is the question.
5 seconds.
George W. Bush.
Carter.
Bill Clinton.
Reagan.
Nixon.
No.
Ohh.
Vice president, but not a state governor.
He ran for... he ran for governor, but he lost.
That's right.
- This is disaster for you. - It is.
You now have two wrongs on the board.
Let's look at the answers that you could have gone for.
Franklin Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge,
Woodrow Wilson, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Those were the answers. All right, Dan.
All right.
You have got two wrongs on the board, Dan.
And this is a very dangerous situation for you to be in.
If you get the next answer wrong,
it will be three wrong in a row,
and you are...
Gone.
To make matters worse...
Oh, look at him. He's the smiling doctor.
The doctor over here
is now going to pick your next category.
But, as I can see, Ogi,
there's not much for you to go on.
Where are you gonna send him?
Well, he seems like a very sober young man,
and I don't think he spends a lot of time in bars,
so I'm gonna pick cocktails and spirits.
Whoa!
That is risky, because he did get cocktails and spirits right
on his first one.
Yeah, but he didn't seem very comfortable with it, so...
Are you comfortable with it?
Well, I'll be needing a cocktail or a spirit
if I don't get it...
so I better get comfortable.
Believe me... if you get it, you may be buying the drinks
- all around. Okay. - Okay.
The question is...
- 10 seconds. - Manhattan.
Back in the game.
Ogi.
It backfired.
This is about strategy, and your strategy failed.
It did.
The wrongs have gone, and you've got $3,000.
How are you feeling?
I'm hanging in there.
Back to zero strikes, though,
so let's go make some more money.
Who am I to argue against an attorney
who wants to make money?
Another category.
You know, let's... let's try to do another rock music there again.
Rock music... you have a 50/50 on rock music so far.
The question is...
- 10 seconds. - Dave Grohl.
$1,000. Next category.
Yeah, that's more in my era, you know?
Not so much the linda ronstadt.
But, you know... let's do...
ohh!
No, he's probably younger than me.
I'm just... I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Ogi, I wouldn't take that.
All right, next category.
Bring up a battle. Come on.
Next question.
All right, let's do rock music again.
Rock Music.
Oh! - Oh, no!
As if!
From your lips.
Yes.
Step into play
and prepare for battle.
As always, do you want to lead or follow?
You led last time. It was a disaster.
It didn't work. It didn't work.
Well, the problem here is
he seems pretty strong in this category,
so I don't know if it makes much of a difference
whether I lead or follow.
I think I got to lead and hope for the best here.
You're gonna lead.
If and when it comes your turn,
we'll be interested to hear
your computational-neurologist thinking on that strategy.
- Okay. - Here we go.
The battle question on rock music.
And it is...
Ohh.
Five seconds.
Uh, cl... Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Janis Joplin.
Uh, Jefferson Airplane.
Grateful Dead.
Uh, uh, uh...
Ohh!
Two battles and two losses.
I was just about to say Joe Cocker,
and it didn't get out in time.
Well, you... you... you may have been about to say it...
- Yeah. - ...But you didn't.
I didn't. I didn't say it. I didn't say it.
And you have a wrong on the board.
- All right. - And for those wanting to know,
let's have a look at some of the others you could have had.
The Who, Santana,
Sly & the Family Stone, Joe Cocker.
On it goes.
All right, you have one wrong on the board.
You've got $4,000 in play.
- Okay. - You do need to get rid of this red.
I do.
And I'd like to know... well, can you do it?
I hope so. Wow.
Don't choose your category.
We're gonna find out after the break.
We're back with 500 Questions.
And I'm with our reigning genius, Dan.
So, you've got to get rid of the wrong.
That's your priority.
Where would you like to go?
I suggest you skate to the thickest ice you can find.
Uh, that's tough to judge.
Um, let's do U.S. Landmarks.
A new category.
New category.
Question on u.S. Landmarks. $1,000 for the first answer.
10 seconds on the clock.
And it is...
10 seconds.
"Give me y-your... your tired and poor."
Uh, "yearning to be free."
Uh, "the immigrants' poem."
Um, "the," uh...
Uh...
Uh, I don't know. "Dr. Who."
Second wrong.
Yeah.
Would you have known the answer?
"The New Colossus."
Correct.
"The New Colossus."
Dan, you now have two wrongs on the board.
And you, dr. Ogi, get to choose the next category.
Talk me through where you are going to send dan.
Well, he didn't do as well on the woodstock question as I would have guessed,
so let's go back to rock music again.
If... if we're going on pure logic,
that is the place to go, since he's had two wrongs.
Right.
Let's be clear.
You are now playing to stay in 500 Questions.
You have two wrongs in a row.
The question on rock music to stay in 500 Questions.
- 10 seconds. - Aldous Huxley.
Yes!
Get rid of the wrongs. Add in the money.
Dr. Ogi, let me remind you...
if he makes it to 50 questions, then you're gone.
Dan, you're only 2% of the way through.
You have $5,000 in play.
And we'll take your next category.
Uh, let's see.
Uh, let's try '80s films.
'80s films. $1,000 if you get it right.
And the question is...
- 10 seconds. - Uh, "Sixteen Candles."
Uh, uh, uh, "Pretty in Pink."
Um, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
Uh, "Tootsie."
- Yes. - Oh!
"Tootsie."
Whew!
2 seconds to go.
A guess.
Uh, yeah, that was pretty much a guess.
I've seen that movie before.
Maybe it clicked somewhere, but, no.
No money, but no wrongs, and we continue.
There are a couple of categories here that you've avoided.
Scared of them?
A little bit afraid. A tiny bit.
All right, next category.
Let's stick with '80s films.
'80s films.
- Oh! - Top ten challenge.
A top ten challenge.
Now, here, there are 10 potential answers.
You have to give 5 of them in 15 seconds.
But you get the choice... do you want to play or pass?
If you pass it to him and he wins it,
that's a wrong for you.
This is a tricky, tricky decision,
'cause I don't know too much
about how he feels about '80s films.
He's been pretty strong so far.
Pretty strong overall, though. You're right. You're right.
I think I would regret it more if I pass it,
so I think I've got to go for it
and try to play it myself.
You've chosen to play.
And you have no wrongs on the board,
so relatively strong position in which to be taking that risk.
Your top ten challenge, it's on '80s films.
And the question is...
- 15 seconds. - "Chariots of Fire."
"Gandhi."
Um, "Terms of Endearment."
"Amadeus."
"Platoon."
You've got it!
Congratulations.
Another $1,000.
And you could have also had
"Ordinary People," "Out of Africa,"
"The Last Emperor, "Rain Man," and "Driving Miss Daisy."
$6,000 in play. 12 questions gone.
Your next category.
All right, we're kind of on a roll here,
so let's do '80s films again.
Now, you can have any category you like,
and it's too late, 'cause you've already selected it,
but...
remember to bank those safe categories
in case you need them.
Yeah. Ther... I don't see a lot of safe categories out there.
You can see, so we'll, uh...
well, you've got a 100% record so far.
- All right. - '80s films.
Here's the question.
10 seconds.
- Um, Michelle Pfeiffer...
Uh, Kim Ba... Oh!
Okay.
You looked the most surprised in the room when you heard that.
Your next category.
- Uh, let's stick with '80s films. - Oi!
No!
Aah!
Doctor, step into play.
Prepare for battle.
As always, lead or follow?
Remember, you have had...
- mixed blessings on this. - That's right. That's right.
- You've not won a battle. - I've had mixed blessings.
Uh, I think I'm gonna follow.
Dr. Ogi, you are going to lead on this occasion.
So, will Dan win his first battle...
after the break?
Welcome back to 500 Questions.
where we are in battle as Dan goes against Ogi.
And you are going to lead on this occasion.
Remember the rules...
first answer's the only one I can accept.
You've got five seconds.
The question on 1980s films. Here we go.
"Sixteen Candles."
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
"Pretty in Pink."
No.
Oh, he wrote it.
- He didn't direct it. - No.
Back you go.
You win your first battle. - That's tough.
That's tough. - You get $1,000.
And your strategy worked.
Let's see the answers you could have had.
"The Breakfast Club," "Weird Science,"
"Planes, Trains & Automobiles," and "She's Having a Baby."
All right, let's have your next category, please.
All right, so, I've been doing well in it,
but I feel like I'm pretty shaky,
so let's try to finish off '80s films and be done with that.
Well, you've actually got your hit rate up.
You're now getting roughly
- 70% of your questions correct. - All right.
You've got $8,000 in play.
But, remember, you don't get a penny of it
until you've completed all 50 questions.
- All right. - Here we go.
Question's on '80s films. $1,000 for the first answer.
The question is...
10 seconds.
Um...
Uh, Smith, Johnson...
Jones, uh...
Elephant, uh...
James, uh...
No.
A wrong on the board. Doctor?
Merrick.
Correct.
John Merrick.
3% of the way through,
and you have a wrong on the board.
You need to get rid of it.
Let's see where you're gonna try.
See what we can do.
Let's do cocktails and spirits again.
Cocktails and spirits.
There is a logic.
You have 100% success rate on that so far.
Question is...
10 seconds.
Uh, The Mai Tai, The Mojito,
the... the... the Margarita, the Daiquiri,
um, the, um...
Uh... Ugh!
Talk it out.
Uh, doctor, do you know the answer?
Piña Colada.
- Correct. - Piña Colada!
All right.
It's Piña Colada.
And...
You're exhausting me, but we are...
We are here again.
Imagine how I feel, you know?
That's a good... a good point.
As you can see, we have two wrongs on the board.
That means your opponent chooses your next category.
Where are you going to send... which category?
'Cause you get to choose.
I'm giving up on strategy.
I'm just gonna go to random and hope for the best.
It's your third chance to remove him from the game.
Yes.
All right.
Random.
- 10 seconds. - Apatosaurus.
Rocky... oh, good.
Yes!
Good, good, good.
Get rid of the wrongs.
Give him $1,000.
We're back.
I'm getting them right when I need to.
You're really bad at choosing other people's categories.
I can't knock him out.
You're getting
- all these opportunities. - I know.
What's wrong with your strategy? What's wrong with...
well, I-I gave up on strategy that time, so...
Let's... let's just take a second to recap where we are.
$9,000 in play. 17 questions.
You've still got three categories
- that you've not even tickled. - Right.
And we'll take your next category, please.
All right, I think we got to do one of these new categories.
- Well, it's your choice. - Let's do, uh...
l-let's do Asian History.
Asian history. $1,000... first answer.
And the question...
- 10 seconds. - Kublai Khan.
Genghi... okay.
Okay.
Back to your... back to your form.
That was just over one second to that.
Next category.
Uh, let's do another new category. Let's do medicine.
Medicine. The question is...
- 10 seconds. - The number 13.
Yes!
1 1/2 seconds and $1,000.
And the next category.
Uh, you know, let's stick with medicine.
Medicine.
It's the 20th question.
- 10 seconds. - Surgeon general.
Correct. First answer.
$12,000. 20 questions.
4% through.
And your hit rate has gone up to 70%.
All right.
Dan is playing a superb game.
Will it continue?
We'll find out after the break.
Welcome back to 500 Questions. where Dan continues to play.
Brilliant, strategic playing by you.
Next category, please.
Uh, let's do cocktails and spirits again.
Cocktails.
I'll need a drink after this. - Mm-hmm.
Uh, cocktails and spirits.
$1,000 if it's the first. Question is...
- 10 seconds. - Ricky Ricardo.
Um, uh...
L-lucille Ball.
Uh, um, uh...
Uh, uh...
Uh, Benny. Um...
No. There's the wrong on the board.
Was it the actual person... Desi Arnaz?
- Desi Arnaz was correct. - Oh! Of course.
You went through everything else.
Yeah.
Ricky Ricardo was the character,
but you went through everybody else.
Desi Arnaz... you have one wrong on the board.
You need to get rid of it.
Where would you like to go to try and get rid of it?
Let's go back to the beginning and do The Bible again.
When in doubt, head to the bible.
Battle. All right.
Ogi, step into play and prepare for battle.
It's 2-1 to Ogi on battles.
Are you gonna lead, or are you gonna follow?
I think I'm gonna lead on this one again.
It's gonna work out one of these times, you know?
Hang on.
Your history of leading versus following is against you.
That's true. That's true.
I-I guess I'm like Christian Grey
in the classic book "Fifty Shades of Grey."
I always need to be in control,
so, you know, it's a problem.
And I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole.
It's okay.
All right, the question is...
5 seconds.
Genesis.
Numbers.
Exodus.
Deuteronomy.
Leviticus.
Job.
No.
Return.
There's the wrong gone. Congratulations.
It's $1,000.
I'd take my hat off if I was wearing one
because your strategy paid dividends.
And let's see the answers that you could have come up with.
You had all of those.
It was Joshua, Judges, and Ruth.
Okay, you're in a strong position.
You have no wrongs on the board,
$13,000 in play.
And we go to your next category, please.
All right, so, after The Bible,
I think we got to go back to cocktails and spirits, right?
Cocktails and spirits.
You've got a 50/50 on cocktails and spirits.
And we'll take the last in the category.
The question, please.
10 seconds.
Uh, Limoncello, Frangelico.
Um, uh...
Uh, uh...
Um...
Absinthe, um, uh...
A wrong.
You're not making life easy for yourself.
No. That's true.
But you have a wrong on the board.
And the correct answer was...
Galliano.
Cocktails and spirits proved to be
somewhat a little strong for you...
...That particular drink.
Three wrong out of five. You have a wrong on the board.
You do need to get rid of it.
- Mm-hmm. - Let's take
your next category, please.
All right, well,
this didn't work very well last time,
but I'm gonna try U.S. Landmarks again.
Hang on.
What am I missing here?
You have a wrong on the board,
and you've gone to a category... - Yes.
that you got wrong the last time.
I strongly suspect that was a fluke,
and we'll a... we'll get an easier question this time.
- Brave man. - All right.
Well, you're not scared. All right.
The question, please.
10 seconds.
Um, Chimney Rock.
Uh, Mount Rushmore.
Um, uh, Yosemite. Uh, Yellowstone.
Um...
Uh, Arches.
Uh, Mount Zion.
Uh...
Oh, second wrong.
Would... would you have known?
Devils Tower?
- That's correct... Devils Tower. - Oh. Okay.
For the fourth time,
you've got those two wrongs, and, as always,
three wrongs in a row and you're...
Gone.
It is also question 25.
And that is a milestone that's worth $5,000.
Now...
You've got two wrongs on the board, dan.
Can you get rid of them?
We'll find out after the break.
Welcome back.
Dan is playing to stay in 500 Questions.
You have two wrongs on the board.
And it's your 25th question, and that is a milestone,
which also puts $5,000, potentially, in your pocket.
If you get it right the first time, dan,
you will get $5,000 to take home no matter what happens.
And, as always,
three wrongs in a row and you're...
Gone.
And the man who hopes to send you on your way,
dr. Ogi, you get to choose the category.
Talk me through what category you want to send him to.
So, I know he's got two wrong on landmarks,
but he seems very confident about that category,
so that scares me a little bit.
He hasn't touched writers yet,
but I suspect that's his best category,
and that's why he's saving it for last.
So, I'm just gonna go for random again,
because I still think that's the best chance I have
for just hitting him with something...
- All right. - Completely unexpected.
- You want to go to random. - Yes.
Okay.
The question is...
- 10 seconds. - Dutch.
Yes!
All right! $5,000.
Get rid of the wrongs!
- Yay! - Add on the money!
Brilliantly played.
And as for you...
No luck at all.
He got rid of the wrongs.
He earned $5,000, which is yours
to take home now, because it's a milestone.
All right! I like that.
And more importantly,
you have now completed 5%
of your 500 questions.
How are you holding up? - Uh, just barely.
Well, you can't have any cocktails and spirits to help you.
- All right. We're all gone. - All right.
I can't see any strategy here, so just go where you will.
I can't, either. I can't, either.
Let's do... let's do, uh, asian history.
Asian history. $1,000 if it's the first.
10 seconds, and the question is...
- 10 seconds. - It's the Indus River.
That is correct.
$15,000 in play.
Next category.
Uh, how about medicine?
Medicine. $1,000 if it's the first.
The question is...
- 10 seconds. - The Heimlich Maneuver.
Uh, okay.
Okay.
You'd have known that.
He's good.
Okay.
$16,000. Next category.
You know, I think I got to tempt fate again.
- Let's do U.S. Landmarks. - You've avoided...
- maybe this will be better. - All right.
I thought it was a strength, but I don't know now, you know?
If that's a strength, I'd hate to see a weakness.
I know. I know.
All right, U.S. Landmarks. $1,000 if it's the first.
And the question...
- 10 seconds. - Lincoln.
Jefferson. Martin Luther King.
Okay.
It wasn't your first, so there's no money earned.
Something tells me
you have just taken us on a tour
of the Washington Monuments.
Pretty... all the ones that I know about, anyway.
Yeah. - All right.
You have not touched writers. Why?
I-I-I think it could be a good category. Who knows?
It seems very broad,
so I think we're kind of saving that
maybe towards the end, see how it plays out
if I get that far. - Right.
But you do need some safe harbors in the case
- it doesn't turn out to be. - Yeah, I don't think
there are any safe harbors in this game, though,
unfortunately.
28 questions. Next category.
All right, let's do random.
Random.
The random question is...
10 seconds.
Uh, Mary, Sue...
Uh, Anne, um...
Uh, Chloe, Jen...
Natalie, Sarah, uh...
Ben, uh, uh, Ron...
I don't think that was anywhere close to it.
A wrong on the board. The answer... do you know?
She's Pakistani, but I don't know her name.
Of course, it was Malala.
Oh.
And you'll remember, of course,
she was the young woman who was shot by the taliban...
Yeah.
and who, of course, made a superb recovery
and has gone on to become a beacon of hope.
All right.
And you have a wrong on the board.
That, of course, has to be removed.
Where would you like to go?
The Bible has treated me well. Let's go back there.
It's question 30 on the the bible.
And first answer gives you $1,000, if it's correct.
The question is...
10 seconds.
Uh, Jacob, um, uh, Eli...
Um, uh, uh, uh...
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Ezra, Isaiah,
um, Elijah.
No.
Two wrongs.
- The correct answer... - Goliath.
- Goliath. Oh! - David and Goliath.
All right, you have two wrongs on the board.
And that, of course, means,
Ogi, you get to choose the next category.
You've had all these attempts...
- I know. - To get rid of him, and you've failed.
It's very distressing.
Not for him it's not.
Where are you gonna send him?
I'm gonna choose random once again.
You are now playing to stay in 500 Questions.
You have two wrongs on the board, and, remember,
three wrongs in a row and you're...
Gone.
This might be your final question.
The question...
To be revealed after the break.
Welcome back to 500 Questions.
Dan has two wrongs on the board.
And, remember, three wrongs in a row and you're...
- Gone. - Gone!
Do you understand?
- Yes, I do. - You need to get this right.
Absolutely have to get it right.
- You've done it before. - All right.
The random question.
- 10 seconds. - Agamemnon.
You're back in the game!
Get rid of the wrongs.
Add in the money.
I studied a little bit of ancient greek in college.
I remember very little of it,
but I do remember Agamemnon and the word for the Number 13,
so it's come through for me twice tonight.
You, sir, are a disaster.
You've had five opportunities to get rid of this guy
and take his place.
Next time.
All right, the next category.
Uh, let's do U.S. Landmarks again.
U.S. Landmarks. 2-1 against you so far.
Question is...
- 10 seconds. - Colonial Williamsburg.
Well done. Next category.
Okay. How about medicine?
You're determined to avoid writers,
but that's your prerogative.
Medicine. $1,000 if it's the first.
Question, please.
- 10 seconds. - Mudd.
Excellent.
All right, let's have the next category,
with $19,000 in play.
Uh, how about... uh, you know, l-let's finish random.
Let's get that out of the way.
You are going to be in such trouble.
Uh-oh.
- And you are! - A random battle.
- It's a battle.
Doctor, step into play.
And, gentlemen, prepare for battle.
Okay, as always, do you want to lead or follow?
Uh, I think I'm gonna follow.
Why?
Because I have no idea at all what's coming at me,
so maybe it gives me a few extra seconds
to think about an answer. We'll see.
Those few extra seconds could be all that you need.
All right, and the battle question on random.
We'll be starting with you.
You'll have five seconds.
The question is...
Five seconds.
Roquefort.
No.
Phew!
Get thee back.
Well, Ogi made a classic mistake there.
You never do battle with a midwesterner
when cheese is on the line.
But let's look and see the answers
that you could have had.
Mozzarella, Cheddar, Parmesan, Jack, Swiss,
American, Blue, Provolone, Ricotta, and Feta.
All right, Dan, $20,000 is at stake.
So, your 35th question and your category, please.
You know, even though I've done well,
the category there that scares me the most is medicine,
so let's finish that one out.
How can you say that? You've had 4 out of 5...
- I've been... - Oh, and that's why.
Triple threat. Oh, no.
It's a triple threat.
Here, there are three answers.
You'll get $1,000 for each answer,
but only if you give me all of them.
- Mm-hmm. Okay. - You have 10 seconds.
- You understand the rules? - Yes, I do.
It's a triple threat question on medicine.
And the question is...
- 10 seconds. - The hammer...
The anvil,
and the, uh, uh...
The, uh, Canal.
The... the Auditory... the, uh...
The ty... the Tympani...
The Striking, the...
- Put a wrong on the board. - No.
Stirrup.
The Stirrup was correct... The Anvil, The Hammer,
- and The Stirrup. All right. - Yeah.
You've got one wrong on the board
and you need to try and get rid of it.
Which category do you want to attempt to do that with?
All right, so, let's go back
to what I thought would have been a strength,
but maybe not... the presidency.
The Presidency.
$1,000 if it's the first right answer.
Get rid of the wrong.
And the question is...
- 10 seconds. - The Federalist Party.
Get rid of the wrong. Add in $1,000.
You took that in your stride.
- Mm-hmm. - You're on a roll here.
Let's keep going.
Let's finish up u.S. Landmarks.
U.S. Landmarks. A 50/50 on that for you.
- It's not been a success. - Mm-hmm.
Question is...
- 10 seconds. - The Snake River,
The Missouri River,
The Kansas River, The Nebraska River,
The Red River.
The, uh, uh... Montana River,
the, uh... the... the Blue Fork River.
The wrong's on the board.
The correct answer is The Platte River.
In other words, landmarks,
which you thought might be strong...
- Yeah, not so much. - ...was 3-2 against you.
Not so much.
You've got a wrong on the board.
You need to get rid of it, if you can.
Choose your next category.
All right, let's go back to the presidency.
The presidency.
$1,000 if it's the first right answer.
Get rid of the wrong.
And the question is...
- 10 seconds. - Madison.
Monr... okay.
Yes, Dolly Madison.
You got rid of the wrong.
It gives you $1,000.
Dr. Ogi, if he gets through the next 12 questions,
you're gone!
He's pretty good.
Can Ogi knock him out,
or will Dan make it to answer 500 questions?
Join us next time to find out.
Good night.
