Episode 20.16
April 27

Chico: Welcome back. Time for happy fun time. And joining us... Jason Block.
Gordon: Now you know that we had an April Fool's Day special planned for April Fools. Except...we didn't have enough people to execute it.
Jason: Aw.
Gordon: With 3 contestants, now we do.
Jason: Yay!
Chico: Yay.
Gordon: So now it's time to play...Categories!
Don: Nice!
Jason: Alright.
Chico: So what are the categories?
Gordon: Here are the Categories:

KNOCK KNOCK WORLD RIVERS ROD K. BLAGOJEVICH, WILL YOU PLEASE GO NOW? BABY GOT BACK BOYLES AND LOCUSTS LEAVING SEATTLE

Gordon: Now here's the catch. This is for APRIL FOOL'S, so you have to give me the WORST possible answer. Cash is awarded for bad answers. Good answers get little or no money. Relevancy and humor is important. For example, if the question is 'What celebrity should get their own show', the answer should not be 'Potatoes'.
Don: Fair enough.
Jason: Noted
Chico: Gotcha
Gordon: Now I believe Don won the game last time, so Donut, you pick.
Don: Let's start with World Rivers.
Gordon: World Rivers. Now the Rivers I'm talking about is Joan and Melissa Rivers, who both left The Apprentice on Sunday - one by firing and one by walking out. Did The Donald do the right thing here or did he once again make an error in judgment?
Chico: The thing about Donald Trump... He wakes up and he's already wrong.
Jason: Donald was just mystified by Brande's boobs. Joan's drag and Melissa just ain't that hot.
Don: Trump caused the Rivers/Duke rivalry to end too soon. It was just getting good!
Gordon: The correct answer is that no one should have any knowledge of the show and should have stopped watching after the Kardashian incident.
Chico: Damn it.
Jason: Of course.
Gordon: $800 to Jason, because Brande's boobs should be registered as lethal weapons. $600 to Chico, because the Donald is all sorts of wrong, and $200 to Don, who actually gave a good answer.

$600 $800 $200
Chico JASON!!! Don

Don: D'oh!
Gordon: Jason, please select
Jason: I have to go with Boyles and Locusts
Gordon: We all know that Susan Boyle is the darling of the internet. She also just got a makeover. Is she a shoo-in to win Britain's Got Talent? And what do you think of her makeover and marketing push?
Chico: She's going to win Britain's Got Talent, then she's going to fall out due to a rumored sex tape with Lindsay Lohan in a Paul Potts mask.
Jason: Wrong. The sex tape is going to be with Simon Cowell.
Don: She could win, but I have a feeling that Sanjaya is going to head over there, enter, and beat out everyone else!
Jason: And she isn't going to win. Boy Britney will.
Gordon: What did you all think of the makeover?
Chico: Didn't work.
Gordon: makeover/marketing push?
Jason: It worked....she looks even more like the man she looked like.
Don: Meh.
Gordon: Boy Britney rooles jou. $1,000 to Jason. $800 to Don on Sanjaya. $600 to Chico for Lindsay.

$1200 $1800 $800
Chico JASON!!! Don

Gordon: OK Jason, select again.
Jason: "Rod K. Blagojevich, Will you Please Go Now!"
Gordon: We have our list of celebrities for 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here', and NBC is going to run it 4 nights a week (Good luck with that, NBC). We have Heidi/Spencer from The Hills, John Salley, Janice Dickinson, Sanjaya, Torrie Wilson and Stephen Baldwin get to play. You are the Casting Coordinator. What 3 celebrities would you add to this motley crew?
Chico: Three of the Old Navy Supermodelquins.
Jason: Amy Winehouse, Hulk Hogan, and Alonzo Bodden.
Don: 3 random Survivor and/or Big Brother contestants.
Gordon: I am so uninspired by Chico and Don's answers that I will give you both a second chance before Jay starts running away with this.
Don: Okay, then. Paris Hilton, her mother, and her sister.
Chico: Fine. New York, Real, and Chance. Drama!
Gordon: If you want Drama and not ratings, the correct answers are Corbin Bernsen, Lorenzo Lamas and Twiggy.
Chico: I don't think they're going to get either.
Gordon: $800 to Jay, $600 to Don, $400 to Chico.

$1600 $2600 $1400
Chico JASON!!! Don

Gordon: Double Categories time. Jason, go ahead.
Jason: Knock Knock
Gordon: Opportunity Knocks, left for dead by ABC, may be resurrected for the Summer, where there's nothing to watch anyways. What show left for dead should also get a second chance in the Summer?
Chico: ARE YOU HOT! FTW!
Jason: SECRET TALENTS OF THE STARS
Don: But Can They Sing?
Gordon: Finally some good answers. $2,000 to Chico. 1 season of that outsucks 1 episode of Secreat Talents. $1,600 to Don, and $1,200 to Jay, who's a little late with the correct answer - Married By America.
Chico: Gross.
Gordon: Sadly enough, there are plans to bring back in one way or another, Married By America and Are You Hot. So Sad.
Chico: That makes me cry with my eyes.
Jason: I threw up a little in my mouth.

$3600 $3800 $3000
Chico JASON!!! Don

Gordon: Chico has control. Next category
Chico: Baby Got Back, please.
Gordon: We've seen lots of wacky ideas for reality and competitions, but we have yet to see babies in one. I'm making you all a game developers. How would you create a competition show with babies?
Don: 6 words: Are You Smarter Than a Baby?
Chico: Sorry... Who Wants to Adopt My Unborn Kid?
Jason: Simple: The Bachelor...for babies. Dating shows can't start too early you know.
Gordon: The correct answer is: Baby Death Match. Cause nothing says compelling television like a 3 month old with a flame-thrower.
Don: lol
Jason: ROFL
Chico: YES.
Gordon: $1,600 to Chico for Unborn Baby (which could be sponsored by E-Bay), $1,200 to Jason's Bachelor Babies, and $400 to Don, as we've seen that show already on FOX.

$5200 $5000 $3400
Chico JASON!!! Don

Gordon: The FINAL Categories: Leaving Seattle. The question: Top Chef Judge Toby Young told the press that they were taping the new season in Seattle. The fact is that Top Chef is really taping in Las Vegas. With The Supersonics also leaving the area, is there any reason why Seattle is worth going to? We start with the person trailing, and that's Don.
Don: Sure. It's a nice place to just wander around. (That's all I could come up with.)
Gordon: Don. That was lame. So that would be an incorrect answer.
Don: I know.
Gordon: Wager: $3,400. Don has $0. Now we go to Jason.
Jason: Yes. They have great teams....like the Seahawks and Mariners. They have Starbucks and Fish. Meaning...not really. And of course Robert Seidelman.
Gordon: Usually I'd deem it correct, but the Mariners are 12-7 and the only team over .500 in the AL West and visiting Robert Seidelman would be cool, so that would ALSO be wrong.
Jason: Crud.
Gordon: Wager: $5,000. Jason has $0.
Chico: Winner is me =p
Gordon: Now unless Chico bet everything, we know who won. But what's your answer?
Chico: Sure is. We get to see Sanjaya's house.
Gordon: And if I was going to go to Seattle, the one place I would avoid like the plague is Sanjaya's house, to Chico's answer is deemed correct. Wager: $4,801. Total: $10,001.

$10,001 $0 $0

Chico: Who's the king? WHO'S THE KING?
Jason: You are, your highness.
Gordon: Chico, the floor is yours. 30 seconds. Go.
Chico: Okay, VH1. We've had Flavor of Love.. New York of Love... Rock of Love.. Money of Love... and now Daisy of Love.... Come on... Enough love already. Time for something different.
Gordon: And we'll be back with some more dirty fun.

(Brought to you by I Love Attention. Watch as VH1 reality stars compete for their own "Surreal Life" spinoff that everyone will inexplicably watch)

Chico: You watch, they win, the show airs and I die a little inside.
Gordon: What a sad idea. The public will love it.
Chico: Sadly, yes. Speaking of things that don't belong in other things, let's play Infiltration next. First up...

Tom Bergeron really let the game show folks down with his appearance on Jeopardy!. So let's choose a host that will hopefully redeem the industry.

Jason: Jeff Probst
Chico: He's done that, though.
Gordon: Here's one for you. Anderson Cooper. He's a CNN Anchor. he should do fine.
Jason: Has Bill Maher done it?
Chico: I don't think he has.
Jason: I would like to see him do it and get his butt kicked.
Gordon: What game show has Bill Maher hosted?
Chico: I'll take none.
Gordon: (mutes Jason) Next one...

We may as well ask this one. Susan Boyle on America's Got Talent. Any way she doesn't win?

Jason: Actually. She doesn't win. Because they had a singer like that last year.,
Chico: A family act with at least 2.3 children pre-puberty. Something like the Jacksons or the Osmonds or Soul 4 Real.
Gordon: Middle Aged? Check. Frumpy? Check. Singer? Check. Give her the million.
Don: I could certainly see her winning.
Gordon: She blows Neil E. Boyd out of the water. Speaking of which, I haven't heard him signing any 100 million dollar+ agreements yet, have you?
Chico: Nope.
Jason: Not yet.
Don: Not that I've heard.
Chico: We'll probably hear that with the season premiere
Gordon: Reminder to America. The sympathetic story does not the best talent make. Yes America, you screwed this one up. And I'll add the editors of AGT to the mix for putting him in every single ad. So AGT last year got what they deserved. Next one?
Chico: Okay. Next...

TPIR delivers a lot of pianos. Is there a pianist/keyboardist you want to see play one?

Jason: Billy Joel.
Chico: Win.
Gordon: No no no no.
Chico: You think you have better, Gordon.
Gordon: This is Fremantle we are talking about here. What other show does Fremantle have that happens to be a hit?
Chico: Family Feud. =p Kidding. American Idol, of course.
Gordon: Billy Joel is a nice choice. The right answer is David Archuleta.
Jason: Ah.
Chico: I didn't think he was that experienced. Maybe I'm wrong.
Gordon: He only played the piano 3-4 times during his Idol performances. I'm sure he can deal with 20 seconds of promo playing. Or David Cook or any other Idolist that has an album coming out soon.
Don: That would be nice to see.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: I feel ya, I feel ya. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Since they are making their rounds on game shows again, who's up for Baldwin week on Trivial Pursuit, America Plays?

Jason: Alec will kill.
Chico: I'll see your Alec, and raise you a Billy
Gordon: And put Stephen on Friday's show.
Jason: Bingo.
Chico: But Gordon, Stephen's a dunderhead!
Gordon: And that's stopped who, exactly?
Chico: ... Point taken.
Don: I'd rather see Stephen be captain of America's team.
Gordon: You dont have to be smart to Captain America's Team. You just have to talk well and look pretty. Perfect for Stephen.
Chico: Of course. Okay, here's one for you...

Cash Cab celebrated episode #250 this premiere week with two crews from "The Deadliest Catch". Is there any Discovery show people you want to see hail Ben's cab?

Don: I'd like to see the Mythbusters in there.
Chico: CORRECT!
Jason: Took my answer.
Gordon: What about Bill Nye using the back as a torture chamber for Taxi Drivers who overcharge their riders?
Jason: Win.
Chico: I think that's illegal.
Gordon: 'Yes Suzie, Quicksilver is known as Mercury for $100. And here's Bill with his tied up friend Larry to show you what happens when it comes in contact with human flesh.'
Chico: Eww.
Jason: Oh my.
Don: lol
Gordon: Last one...

Assuming that you've see 2009's Head's up Poker Championship, who would you like to see there next season?

Jason: Drew Carey. I heard he likes Vegas...a lot.
Chico: I haven't seen Emily Procter play poker in a good long while. Probably due to her being busy with a show on another network, but come on.
Gordon: I think 1. Daphne Duplaix needs to be there is a GoDaddy.com Girl, 2. She needs to face off against Shannon Elizabeth in the first round and 3. It should be a Strip Poker match.
Jason: WHOOOOOO!
Chico: Nice.
Don: That'll get ratings.
Chico: That failing... Hey, what about Gordon over here?
Gordon: I'll take the field all on. I think they won't pay me to take the clothes off though.
Chico: If anything, they'll probably pay you to keep them on.
Don: Yeah.
Gordon: And on that note, it's break time.
Chico: Speed Round is next.

(Brought to you by I'm a GM Executive, Get Me Out Of Here! We take the Top 15 Executives who've made billion of dollars off hard workers, send them to an island...and leave them there.)

Chico: You promise?
Gordon: We'll try.
Jason: No more Pontiacs...sniff.
Chico: Does Pontiac have any hybrids?
Jason: I think so.
Chico: Eh, oh well.
Gordon: I think so too. I also think the Speed Round starts...now!
Chico: Is there any way Coach survives Survivor?
Jason: Yes. I do. This week isn't his time.
Gordon: If Sierra is smart, no. That being said...yes, he survives this week.
Don: It's possible.
Gordon: Who doesn't make the Final 4 in American Idol?
Jason: Matt Giraud
Chico: It's not looking good for Allison.
Don: Allison.
Gordon: This is Matt's week. Allison leaves.
Chico: Pros vs. Joes launches this week. Watching?
Jason: Yes.
Don: I'll check it out.
Gordon: Sure will. Amazing Race - who doesn't make the Final 3?
Jason: Jen and Kisha.
Chico: If there is a God in heaven, Kisha & Jen.
Don: Kisha and Jen.
Jason: Sure.
Gordon: I'll go with that. Any mail?
Chico: Karen Campbell. Thanks, Karen!


To: WLTI
From: Karen Campbell


My daughter and grandson love Hole in the Wall. I have trying to find out what has happened to it. After searching the WEB I find that FOX canceled it and the last show was this month. Then another site will say it is being brought back. A blurb on your site says something to the effect that it is replacing another show. But no other info is given. Can you please help us out with the truth.
 l

Gordon: Now here's someone with The Moment of Truth (which is a different FOX show) - Chico!
Chico: Okay, so far, it's just been pulled. There are no plans to air it at this time. There are no plans NOT to air it, but so far, it's been pulled with 4 hours left to go. But if I were a gambling man, I wouldn't hold my breath for its return.
Gordon: I have a feeling it will be brought back and burned in some sort of Summer marathon that no one will watch.
Chico: Thanks for writing, Karen! And if people want to be cool like Karen, they need only to send us a message to WLTI@gameshownewsnet.com... You are a part of the WLTI family, and we enjoy hearing your feedback.
Gordon: We do. That ends our show this week. Special thanks to Jason Block and Don Harpwood for attending.
Jason: Always fun, thank you
Don: It's always nice.
Chico: Until next week, he's Gordon, I'm Chico, the show is WLTI. Game over and spread the love.
