Our reigning champion and genius is heading towards his 107th question.
Let's meet him again. It's Steve.
(Cheers and applause)
So, you've taken us to the edge and brought us back numerous times.
True.
Yeah, no, that last game especially, there was a lot of... it was dicey early, and then I got going, so...
Let's meet the person whose sole job it is, is to get rid of you.
It's your challenger, Megan Barnes.
(Cheers and applause)
You only have one job here... to get rid of Steve.
Yes.
Can you do it?
Yes, I can.
Will you do it?
Probably!
(Laughter)
All right, this is where we are.
Steve has one wrong on the board.
He's banked so far $69,000, and he's going on to his 107th question.
But what a long way to go.
Just do it 1% at a time, I guess.
(Laughter)
Next category. All right.

That's how you do it.

All right, no wrongs on the board, and you have $11,000 in play.

Welcome back to 500 Questions.
Steve gave me the answer Ladybug, and we are checking to see if it was given in time.

Or "He doesn't know that much about art."
One of the two, but, yeah.
Right.
And we'll take the next category.
All right. Let's go Random.
You've had very mixed blessings with Random, haven't you?

(Cheers and applause)
I think that might almost be your fastest answer.
That would be embarrassing.
How did you know that?
She's a famous, like, you know, woman entrepreneur, and, you know, sadly there's not as many famous women entrepreneurs as there should be, so...
(Cheers and applause)
Right.
We'll take your next category.
Keep doing Random.
Random.
Hey.
(Laughs)
It's a battle!
Megan, step into play.
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for battle.
There are multiple answers to a battle question.
You will take it in turns to answer.
You will have five seconds to answer.
Unlike other questions, here it's the first answer that I must accept.
Do you understand?
I do.
Lead or follow?
I don't have any idea what's coming, so I'll follow.

Okay.
Do you understand?
Yes.
And the question is...
Five seconds.
Spanish. (Ding)

Hindi is not there.
French?
Yeah. Oops.
Okay, you have one wrong on the board, so we've got to get rid of it.
Which safe category do you want to go to?
Sports Movies. Last one.
Okay, you're gonna close out Sports Movies.
(Laughs)
Megan, step into play.
Ladies and gentlemen, will Steve win the battle?
Can Megan b*at him in the second battle?
We will find out... after the break.
(Cheers and applause)
Welcome back to 500 Questions.
Prepare for battle.
Are you going to lead or follow on this one?
Follow.
If you lose this battle, then you'll have two wrongs on the board, and Megan will get a chance to choose your next category.
The question is...
"The Blind Side."
(Ding)
"Any Given Sunday."
(Ding)
"The Whole Nine Yards."
Get rid of the wrong.
Your strategy paid off.

There are the two that you got.
"The Waterboy."
"The Longest Yard."
"The Longest Yard," "Remember the Titans," "and Friday Night Lights."
We are moving to your 124th question.
You still haven't tickled World Geography...

Let's have your next category, please.
Random.
Random. $1,000 if you get it right on the first time.
And the question is...
10 seconds.
Fleming.
(Ding) Yes.
Right on the first one.
That's $1,000.
You've got $20,000 in play.
We are at that point where this is an extremely important question.
Do you know why?
Milestone.
It is a milestone.
It is question 125.
Every time you get halfway through the board, if you get the next question right on the first answer, you get $5,000 now to take home.
(Cheers and applause)
Which category? Let's make some money here.
Yeah, I'll have World Geography.
World Geography.
And the question is...
10 seconds.
Algeria.
(Ding)
Yes! That's worth $5,000!
It takes your total... $74,000.
(Cheers and applause)
Whatever happens now in 500 Questions, you're going home with that money.
Awesome.
So...
Yeah.
125 questions in.
Megan, that means just 25 questions left for you to take his place.
And we need another category from you, please.
Let's get rid of Random.
Random.
You've got a three to one in your favor so far, and the question is...
10 seconds.

Ooh!
Oh!
What?!
No! No!
You can't do this to me!
(Audience chanting "Steve!")
All right.
(Cheers and applause)
Whoo! (Laughs)
0.2 of a second.
No money for that, but a heart att*ck for me and others.
All right. (Laughter)
And we'll take your next category.
I think I will do Broadway Musicals now.
Ah.
You can feel your wife singing.
Yeah.
(Laughs)
(Audience ohs)
Now I'll bet you're probably wishing your wife was standing there now.
It would help.
Megan, step into play.
Prepare for battle.
(Cheers and applause)
There are multiple answers.
You will take turns.
You want to lead or follow?
Lead.
Why? What's your thinking?
It's an instinct.
I've done a little better when I've led, I think, maybe, so I'm just gonna go ahead with that.
And the question is...
Five seconds.
"Phantom of the Opera."
(Ding)
"The Lion King."
(Ding)
"Grease"?
No.
(Audience groans)
Sarah's throwing things.
Yeah. She's not too happy.
Let's look at the answers that you could have had.
Those are the two you got.
"Chicago."
"Wicked."
"Mamma Mia!" "Wicked."
"Wicked." Okay.
Yeah.
And "Jersey Boys."
"Jersey boys."
You have one wrong on the board.
Where would you like to try and go?
I think World Geography.
World Geography.
(Chuckles)
Ohh.
Quest: A Top Ten Challenge.
There are 10 potential answers.
I need 5 of them in 15 seconds.
Sure.
With World Geography, you have the chance to play or pass to Megan.
I'll play. (Cheers and applause)
Smiling was not gonna help there.
(Laughter)
Remember, five correct answers will remove the wrong from the board.
Top Ten Challenge. A lot at stake.
15 seconds, and the question is...
15 seconds.
Catacombs, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, the, um... Um... Uh...
Capitoline Hill, The Forum, um...
Uh... Hmm.
Uh, Spanish Steps.
Uh...
(Audience groans)
Oh. You have two wrongs on the board.
Let's find out what the potential answers could have been.
The Pantheon, the Vatican, the Piazza, the Galleria, and the Capuchin Crypt.
That's the list.
So, those are the answers that you could have given us.
You didn't.
And so, you now have two wrong answers on the board.
(Audience ohs)
Ooh.
All right, Steve. We've been here before.
And we're here again, and you are now in a critical situation...
Yes.
Because if you get three wrong in a row, you are...
Gone!
Gone. Gone. Gone.
Can you get rid of the wrongs?
Or will Megan take your place?
We'll find out what happens after the break.
(Cheers and applause)
Welcome back to 500 Questions, where we are at a critical moment.
Steve has got two wrongs so far.
Megan...
You now get to choose Steve's category.
Okay.
Well, he already took out fashion and Random, which were my top two choices.
He's a librarian, so I wouldn't think books would be good.
He says he knows old and new British Royalty.
He loves musicals.
Elements of the Periodic Table's pretty simple.
He thinks he's good at World Geography.
(Laughs)
(Laughter)
Before, when you were asking what his wife would say, he said that she would say he's not good at Art, and he might have been trying to psyche me out, but I think that was a tell, so I got to go with Art.
(Cheers and applause)
Steve, to be clear...
(Chuckles)
You are now playing to stay in 500 Questions.
Yes.
If you get the next answer wrong, it will be three wrongs in a row, and you will be...
Audience: Gone!
If you get it right, the wrongs will disappear.
Do you understand?
Yes.
The category is Art.
You have 10 seconds to answer.
And the question is...

Yes!
You're back in the game.
Yay?

I'll take it.

You're on a roll. Let's keep it moving.
Let's tickle elements.
We're tickling!
Oh!
And a battle.
Okay.
Megan, step into play.
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for battle.
You have the choice... lead or follow.
Lead.
You've gone both ways.
Yeah.
What... what's the thinking now?
I... well, I like the category.
You know, like, it's...
I-I know what the answers might be because it's Elements of the Periodic Table, so I'm gonna go first and try to give her the hard ones.
Fair enough.
And the question is...
Sulfur. (Ding)
Selenium. (Ding)
Silicon.
(Ding)
Soxygen.
(Laughter)
Another $1,000.
Megan, an opportunity gone to waste.

(Laughs)
Those are the three you got.
Scandium, Seaborgium.
Seaborgium!
Aah!
Silver.
Silver!
Sodium.

You've got $25,000 in play.
Yes.
You've got $99,000 potentially.
Sure. (Laughs)
No pressure, but this next question takes you to $100,000... potentially.
Yeah.
Easy.
Yeah.
All right. (Laughter)
Which category?
Do British Royalty.
You would like to do British Royalty.
And the question is...
10 seconds.

Add the money.

Whoo!
And, Megan, that would mean we say goodbye to you.
You're on question 134.

All right, one wrong on the board.
Will he get rid of it?
Join us after the break.

You've got another $1,000.
Let's have a look at the answers that you could have had.
"The Gilded Age," "The American Claimant."
(Chuckling) "Tom sawyer, detective"?
"Tom Sawyer Abroad."
What?
Quest: "Tom Sawyer, Detective,"
"Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc."
I think "The Gilded Age" is the only one of those I would have said in a million years.
But you did it.
Yeah!
I mean...
Whoo!
(Cheers and applause)
You are not safe just yet.
As you can see, there are still four questions.
Yeah.
And we're ready for your next category.
Art.
Art.
The last of the category, and the question is...
10 seconds.
I-I... Chihuly.
Or... I don't really know this.
I don't...
Guess.
Williams, Johnson, Jackson, Martin, Martinez, Rodriguez.
I don't know. I really don't.
(Audience groans)
Jeff Koons was the answer we were looking for.
Ooh. Okay.
Megan: Ah.
Quest: All right.
Well, as you can see, there are three left.
This is question 148.
Yeah. It's a crucial question for you.
If you get this question right...
Yeah.
Mathematically, it's impossible for you to then take his place, and as for you, Steve, you are guaranteed to take $34,000 onto your total.
Yeah.
You will have over $100,000 in the bank.
Wow.
If you get it wrong... (Laughs)
Then you will get a second wrong on the board, and Megan will get to choose your next category.
I don't want to give her any choices, so I'll just take Famous Books.
Famous Books.
And the question is...
10 seconds.
Ulysses?
Uh, Home.
I... this is, like, famous, but it's, um, evaporating on me.
Uh... Why, when, who, wow, the.
No.
Whoa.
Do you know the answer?
"Yes. I said, 'Yes, I Will. Yes."
Correct.
(Cheers and applause)
Wow.
That's one way of putting it.
Yeah.
You have two wrongs in a row.
You have two questions left.
Megan, well, there's no category to choose other than the obvious one. Yeah.
Periodic Table. (Laughs)
It is absolutely possible for you to be out because you could end up with three wrongs in a row, and you're...
Audience: Gone!
Gone.
Gone. All of it.
A critical situation.
Will he make it?
Find out next time on 500 Questions.
Good night.
