2.3: Betty White vs. Adam Carolla
December 28
Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, and I have one
question for you. Are you ready for Betty?
Don: Yep!
Chico: I'm always ready!
Gordon: I am too. Let's introduce the commentators this evening. Someone who's
ready to see his Carolina Panthers take a well-deserved week off, Mr. Chico
Alexander.
Chico: Word.
Gordon: And our other guest, someone who is probably not ready to move to
Detroit, Mr. Don Harpwood.
Don: No kidding.
Gordon: But I'm ready for Betty White. Last time she was on Million Dollar
Password, all she did was win someone $100,000. Her celebrity opponent is Adam
Carolla, who has done nothing game show-wise on his resume except leave very
quickly on Dancing With the Stars. So Adam could be the AFC in week 16 (where
every team who played a must win did) or the NFC in week 16 (where almost every
team who had a chance to win a playoff spot lost.
Gordon: And we are joined by our buddy Alex Davis as we get to watch Betty White
once again play the game that made her very very famous.
Alex: I think all of Pittsburgh let out a cry when Ben got hurt today. I got
friggin calls from people saying he snapped his neck. Bullcrap. It's a freaking
concussion
Chico: And it's game time. Tonight... game show legend Betty White...and
comedian Adam Carolla...And they're here to play... MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD!
First up, Adam is ready to take a nap.
Gordon: Adam has Albany Irvin, who Regis likes to look at.
Chico: He plays with Albany Irvin of Shreveport, LA, a company spokesperson. And
then... there's Betty White...*Standing O*
Gordon: Betty talks about her marriage to Allan Ludden. We get to see a montage
of Betty White footage, which was awesome to see.
Alex: That was nice
Don: Very nice!
Chico: Classic. In every sense of the word. Betty is with Justin Root of Canton,
OH... her biggest fan. He told a little lie involving his grandma flying him out
to Hollywood to play Password.
Alex: I don't know if I could be on the set for this show. So much stroby.
Chico: ELIMINATION ROUND. Time for business. Up first...

Gordon: Justin will play in the bonus round - and he will play with Betty White.
Chico: This is going to be fun.
Gordon: Justin...let. Betty. Give.
Chico: She knows what she's doing. She's been doing it longer than you've been
alive.
Gordon; She also got more points giving (8) than anyone else.
Alex: I really hate that rule that you can't give two answers in the front game.
I know why it's not there; to suddenly change rules for the end game; but I
still don't like it.
Chico: ... Game Show in My Pants... this Saturday.
Gordon: A game show in my pants would probably me more exciting than what we're
going to get.
Chico: Probably. Okay, let's go to the money round. Justin Root is playing with
Betty for a million. This is the dream.
Gordon: Justin elects to...give. Bad Justin.
Chico: No home game. And now... RAISE THE PLATFORM! We start with five out of 10
for $10,000.
JUSTIN/Betty |
$10,000

Don: Took 28 seconds there.
Alex: We got a really good team here.
Chico: What happens when a good player meets a good partner.
Gordon: Justin goes for $25,000.

Smile...GRIN (RIGHT!) WIN! |
Don: Wow.
Chico: He needed all of that one.
Gordon: Justin won, despite not giving out great clues. I would have rather seen
Betty give.
Alex: That was a bit rough, but good. By the way, I'm still at my family's house
from Christmas. They are saying, unprovoked, how lame the $250,000 milestone is.
That makes me so happy.
Chico: I have to agree. That milestone is ... well, lame.
Gordon: I like it. Free shot at the million.
Chico: It eliminates the risk.
Alex: It eliminates that drama.
Gordon: Because you are not going to risk $250,000 for it. Only one person has
gone for the $250,000. And to get the million, you 're looking at 5 Cashwords.
Chico: If you're going to have a milestone at $250K, then you should have
something before the million. Like for $500K or something.
Alex: And if that was their reasoning I'd be happy. But you know their reasoning
was, "People want to see millionaires; we need to make it easier."
Chico: You think so?
Alex: Without a doubt. Fremantle gives me no reason to think otherwise. No
producer today does to be totally honest. You succumb to your network's notes or
your budget is slashed or gone. Look at how 1 VS 100 was dumbed down. Thank NBC.
Chico: Yeah, we've been down that route before.
Alex: But we're back!
Chico: And Password is back with Justin on $25,000.
Alex: I can really see them going far.
Chico: Free shot at $50,000. Get the money.

Don: That's better.
Alex: Amazing job. They are both fantastic players. Maybe the best team I've
seen.
Chico: Easy breezy pumpkineezy
Gordon: Justin, 'My prize was playing with her today...and money.' Heh.
Alex: They are on fire. Gotta go on.
Don: Play on!
Chico: Go for it! GET THE MONEY!
Gordon: Justin has decided...he wants to play with the best player ever.
Alex: There we go. I think they got this unless a curveball word comes up.
Chico: Let's go for $100,000.
JUSTIN/Betty |

Don: Darn.
Alex: That blows.
Chico: But you got to play with the best there is.
Gordon: Justin, 'Sorry? I have $25,000...The cash was a bonus. My prize was
playing with you today.'
Chico: Ah, that's nice.
Gordon: Too bad he didn't give clues like the best there was. I clearly put the
blame on that one on Justin.
Chico: I'll buy that for a dollar.
Alex: Yeah
Gordon: If Betty is giving, I thin he wins $100,000.
Chico: He was just too.. star struck to play, I guess. His focus was clouded.
Alex: Although I do have to say I'd have huge nerves letting my celeb giving.
Betty's the only one I'd remotely consider, and I'd still have to think for a
moment.
Chico: Password continues with two new players.
Gordon: Adam has a new friend - Sebastian Davis.
Chico: from Nashville.
Gordon: Laura Howard, from Houston, TX is with Betty and she's a Spanish tutor.
Chico: She looks like Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Don: Nice.
Chico: Easy!
Gordon: Sebastian did himself in.
Alex: He was rough
Chico: Laura's playing for a million... with Betty, I believe.
Don: Yep.
Gordon: That is correct. Adam gets to dance off another show very early.
Chico: Not for lack of trying.
Alex: He didn't do that badly. But he was just playing against a machine.
Chico: Yep. Money round! She wants to buy her mom a piano
Gordon: $25,000 gets a nice piano
Chico: That's a nice baby grand there
Don: Another giver.
Gordon: And Laura will...give.
Chico: Why.
Gordon: If Betty is the celeb, I let her give. All she has done is get 16 out of
20 correctly conveyed. Laura only conveyed 4 out of 10.
