Chico:  Alex Hitchens...Jason Bourne...Willy Wonka in 2005...Will Hunting
Gordon: By the way, should Identity be a hit, I expect Mike Darnell to lift this idea so we can see it on FOX in 3 weeks. Wasn't Wonka played by Johnny Depp?
Jason:  Of course.
Chico:  For those playing along at home, that's Will Smith, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp... and Matt Damon again.
Gordon: Sounds like a catchy game. I'll go copyright it.
Chico:  BTW all four movies make GREAT Presents. Or if TV is your thing... they just released the final box set of Thundercats :)
Gordon: We start the present giving with...

Ultimate Fighter Series. The ratings are great and we'll see a syndicated version of it in 2007. What do we give for a show that already almost has it all?

Chico:  More of the same.
Jason:  And maybe an extension of the deal on Spike.
Chico:  Willa Ford, on the other hand, gets a heaping helping of humble pie.
Gordon: I think the show needs...female presence. Could we see an all-female UFC anytime soon?
Jason:  I would LOVE that.
Chico:  Oh yeah. I could totally dig that.
Gordon: Let's see if you would love this...

The Wheel of Wheel of Fortune. You all blamed the Wheel this week. Don't blame the Wheel. Give the Wheel some love.

Chico:  WD40.
Jason:  I would make the Wild Card non Bankruptable.
Chico:  But seriously, it's 2006. How about a few "Wheel of Ass-kicking" wedges?
Gordon: I think you need to get a 'Revenge' Space where the Contestant has to be spun on the wheel. Barring that, some more goodies to make the Wheel more fun.
Chico:  Oh yeah.
Gordon: Next one...

New York. Not the city, but the contestant on Flavor of Love. She needs a man, which we'll see in January. What else would she need?

Jason:  Etiquette lessons?
Chico:  Yeah. Def.
Gordon: A little help from her friends
Jason:  Maybe a guest spot from Flav.
Gordon: There's no question that Flavor Flav will show up
Chico:  In what capacity, though?
Gordon: As the advisor, maybe.
Chico:  In that case... some medication.
Gordon: Lots of medication.
Chico:  Hugsnotdrugs.
Jason:  right
Gordon: Whatever. Next one...

Vin DiBona. His America's Funniest Home Videos is now getting more exposure (albeit inadvertently) and he's got Comedy Collosseum coming up, What can we get for him?

Jason:  A steel cup.
Chico:  Some Animal Crackers :)
Gordon: I think he's got a golden opportunity to get into the big time.
Jason:  So do I.
Gordon: I wish for him - more non-game show television failures (some other person's failures, not DiBona's) for ABC, because I like DiBona's work and I'd like to see more from him.
Chico:  I guess Tom Bergeron's happy :)
Jason:  Like he needs work :)
Gordon: Depends on if he's hosting the Comedy Collosseum. Next one...

William Shatner. Boston Legal's on the decline. Show Me The Money is off of the cliff. What can we do to brighten up his holidays?

Jason:  Give him a pony. He likes horses.
Chico:  Another hit record with Joe Jackson?
Jason:  Or Ben Folds 5
Gordon: What about a guest judge on Iron Chef?
Jason:  Sure.
Chico:  What can I say, the ... lettuce and the... caramelized onions go well with the... turkey... *lightbulb* Oh god. Full circle.
Gordon: Last one...

The Brainvision hamsters...and Eve the Cat. What can we get them?

Jason:  Catnip mouse...check. A Habitrail maze...check. And Bob, our pets are spayed and neutered.
Chico:  Always!
Jason:  And some good some food.
Gordon: Yummy nummies
Jason:  Sounds like a party.
Chico:  And for Eve, a cute little hat.
Gordon: Cat Hat!
Jason:  Yup.
Chico:  In French, chat chapeau. In Spanish, el gato en el sombrero :)
Gordon: We're done with presents. Now we move on to pictures.
Chico:  And that'll come after the break. Get your viewfinders ready, gents.
Jason:  Done.
