Transcript 03/07/2008 - Charlie Esser (carryover contestant)
Guest host Dave Price's last day
Charlie Esser
Newark, NJ
Stay-at-home dad
Dave has had a great time this week giving away someone else's money. Dave says that the studio audience is rooting for Charlie to get the Capitol One check for $50K, $100K, $250K, and if all goes well Charlie will walk away with the $1M.
Charlie has his STQ available.
$50K - On the sitcom "30 Rock," the characters work at a network owned by what unlikely parent company?
A - Sheinhardt Pajama Co.
B - Sheinhardt Wig Co.
C - Sheinhardt Plastic Utensil Co.
D - Sheinhardt Mustard Co.
Charlie sighs. He watches the show all the time and remembers the joke; it's not mentioned very often. The one he was expecting to see (another company mentioned on the show) isn't here. He has a strong feeling toward one of them, but it would be a guess. He decides to risk it. Charlie says this justifies his being a stay-at-home dad and watching TV all day. With the money he's going to pay off some bills, possibly buy a new car and it will certainly help with the move to Chicago.
$100K - "The Melody Haunts My Reverie" is a famous Roy Lichtenstein work that depicts a woman singing a lyric from what iconic song?
A - Stardust
B - Night and Day
C - Misty
D - Body and Soul
Charlie knows Roy Lichtenstein's work - he's a big fan - he doesn't even have an inkling so he wants to switch the question. Dave asks if Charlie wants to take a guess. He would have picked D.
$100K (STQ) - What is the international radio signal for an emergency that is not quite as severe as a "Mayday"?
A - Tre-tre
B - Rel-rel
C - Ton-ton
D - Pan-pan
Charlie sighs again. He has no idea and doesn't hesitate to walk away.
ANSWERS:
$50K - B (Sheinhardt Wig Co.)
$100K - A (Stardust)
$100K (STQ) - D (Pan-pan)

This plug for Capital One went on far too long. I think Dave was padding the tape a bit, so they could fill out the episode without a carryover.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: Dave has had a great time this week giving away someone else's money.

To be picky, the signal is simply "Pan." Someone using the call would typically repeat it for emphasis, "Pan-Pan-Pan," but it would remain valid if used singly.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$100K (STQ) - What is the international radio signal for an emergency that is not quite as severe as a "Mayday"?

Are you still an ATC, 7yrs? Do you work at a major airport or control center? That can be an awfully stressful job, with no small consequences for making a mistake!7yrscollegedownthedrain wrote:agrees w/Marley on $100kQ - after 9 years as an air traffic controller, never heard nor were we taught to refer to it as "pan-pan" - this must another wiki definition
btw, Mayday comes from the French (M'Aidez)

$100K: NAFC®. Switch it.
$100K #2: NAFC®on this one either. Ask the audience and see if they have a clue. 50:50 after that. Likely, I'll be walking away.

I had no idea, but I have all my lifelines, so I'll use ATA.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$50K - On the sitcom "30 Rock," the characters work at a network owned by what unlikely parent company?

Again, no idea, so time to STQ or PAF. Let's say I used STQ like Charlie did.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$100K - "The Melody Haunts My Reverie" is a famous Roy Lichtenstein work that depicts a woman singing a lyric from what iconic song?

Bad choice, so it's time to PAF.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$100K (STQ) - What is the international radio signal for an emergency that is not quite as severe as a "Mayday"?

(edited to add info since this sounded kind of abrupt- I fell out of touch with him when I was going through a really bad time a couple of years ago, so I was completely stunned to see this transcript up here. Definitely a blast from the past. I don't have current contact info for him anymore, but if I can find an email addy for him, I'll definitely relay the invite.)

So was Hoagy Carmichael a native of Bloomington?

If you had any substance, I'd take this bat and do a Barry Bonds on your ectoplasmaticbutt.
