Tonight,
these three players are after big bucks,
but they'll have to avoid the Whammy
as they play the most exciting game of their lives.
From Haven Studios in Hollywood,
it's time to press your luck!
And now, here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"
Elizabeth Banks!

Welcome to "Press Your Luck,"
where taking big risks can win you big bucks.
Let's meet our contestants.
[ Cheers and applause ]
She's a military veteran from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This is Carmenita.
Hi!
A food vendor from Garden City, Kansas,
give it up for Kelley!
Oh, hi, Elizabeth! I love you!
And finally, a retail sales director
from Carver, Massachusetts.
Please welcome Justin!
Hi, Elizabeth!
Hi, Justin!
Tonight, you get to take on the Big Board.
It is loaded with cash and prizes,
and every time you stop the board like this...
Stop!
...you add money to the bank just like that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And the player with the most cash and prizes in their bank
at the end of Round 2 gets to keep it
and goes on to our bonus game for a shot at $1 million!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Are you three ready to press your luck?
Yes! Yeah! Ready!
Let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Here we go.
He's been vacuumed up,
sucked into a woodchipper, run over by a stampede,
and hated for years
because he's the party pooper you never want to see.
Who is this little, red menace that typically wears --
Kelley?
The Whammy.
Who is this little, red menace
that typically wears a yellow mask
and always steals your money right here on "Press Your Luck"?
Carmenita, is the answer
the Whammy, the Hamburglar, Elmo?
The Whammy.
What do you think, Justin?
The Whammy.
It is, in fact, the Whammy!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Nice!
Justin, you kinda look like the Whammy
with that shirt a little bit.
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, Elizabeth.
[ Laughs ] Alright, Carmenita's got a spin.
Kelley's got three spins,
and Justin's got a spin.
Question 2.
It's so good to see you.
Mm, I love your cooking.
Five minutes away.
Let's be honest, we all lie.
And according to a survey reported by The New York Post,
between 1 and 5 times,
how many times a day does the average adult tell a lie?
Justin.
I'm gonna go with three.
Carmenita, is it three times, two times, or four times?
I say three.
What do you think, Kelley?
I'm gonna say three.
The answer, unfortunately, though, is four,
which means nobody picked up a spin. Oh, wow.
[ Audience groans ]
Question 3. This is our final chance
to win spins to take to the Big Board.
Let's do it. Here we go.
A math whiz named Isaac, an athlete named Cam,
and a cookie named Fig.
Carmenita.
Newton.
What last name do they all share?
Kelley, is it Newton, Kepler, Amos?
Newton.
What do you think, Justin?
I'm gonna go with Newton.
It is, in fact, Newton!
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah!
That means Carmenita picked up three spins,
bringing her total to four,
Kelley got another spin for four,
and Justin got another spin for two.
Now, let's see if we can turn these spins into cash
because it's time to take on the Big Board. Let's go!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright.
We've got thousands of dollars and some epic prizes
on our Big Board tonight,
but beware of the Whammy.
[ Sour note plays ]
You land on him, he takes away all your cash and prizes,
leaving you with nothing.
And if you rack up four Whammies,
you're out of the game.
We start with the player who has the fewest spins,
and that is you, Justin.
Let's go!
Justin: Alright, come on! I see it!
Prada sunglasses, big bucks,
no Whammies, and stop!
[ Sour note plays ] Elizabeth: Oh, my goodness.
[ Audience groans ]
And how does that make you feel?
[ Sniffs, sobs ]
There you go.
It's just that they don't have any money.

[ Boing! ]
Wah, wah!
Alright, Justin, we got that out of the way.
Out of the way. You know what?
You've got this spin right here.
You want to press your luck with that spin,

I'm gonna press my luck!
Yeah, he is.
Alright, come on, one spin!
We're going to Belgium.
Let's go, big bucks, no Whammies,

It's the shirt!
See, little Whamlets?
Zero plus zero still equals zero.
Oooh!
[ Giggling ]
[ Boing! ]
Justin, I think it's the shirt.
I think it's the shirt. I think the Whammy is attracted...
I think it's time to take it off.
...to the shirt. I don't know what's going on,
but you have really attracted that Whammy today.
Now, Carmenita, are you ready to take on the Big Board?
Yes, yes, yes! I'm ready!
Press your luck, Carmenita.
Carmenita: Come on, big buck! Come on!
I just want the Prada sunglasses!
And stop!
$1,750 and you picked up a spin.
You have four spins left.
You can press your luck with those spins,
or you can pass your remaining spins to an opponent.
Elizabeth, I'm going to press my luck!
Come on, big bucks!
Come on, Prada sunglasses,

On your right, you'll see the Hollywood sign,
and on your left,
you will see absolutely nothing!

Holy smokes, is that Elizabeth Banks?

I do not know why he feels the need
to drag me into any of it.

Carmenita, three more spins.
I'm pressing my luck!
Fill that bank, Carmenita.
Let's go! I gotta redeem myself.
And stop!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Justin's got zero dollars in his bank,
Kelley's got $9,364,
and Carmenita has $11,127 in her bank.
Now, before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn a little bit more about our contestants.
Carmenita, tell me about yourself.
I'm a single mother of three amazing young adults.
I'm a grandmother of two.
Ooh, congrats.
I served in the United States Navy for eight years.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I served in the United States Army for three years,
and I did four years in the United States Army Reserve.
Wow. Thank you for your service, Carmenita.
That's incredible.
What did you do in the military?
And you switched, too.
Yes, in the Army, I was a petroleum supply specialist.
In the Navy, I was in charge of the officers' barracks.
And for a whole entire year in the Navy,
I did nothing but make biscuits.
I made the best biscuits ever.
What's the key to a good biscuit?
It's the butter, isn't it?
It was the butter, yes.
It's of course the butter.
You want some biscuits?
Elizabeth, come on over to my home and get some biscuits.
[ Laughs ] I love it. Come on.
Well, Carmenita, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Good luck.
Kelley from Garden City, Kansas,
tell me about yourself.
I'm a country girl at heart. My parents had a 12-acre farm.
We raised produce. We sold as little girls.
And then 20 years later, I switched things up
when Gary surprised me with a concession trailer,
and now I --
Gary's your husband? Yes, Gary's my husband.
We have two sons, and they help me with the concessions.
What do you sell?
Fresh-popped kettle corn, cowboy nachos. Ooh.
What's that?
Nachos with cheese and then a wide strip of pulled pork
that we make ourselves.
I'm gonna have to get it with the biscuits.
We would love that.
And I've been told I've got the best legs in town.
Oh?
Turkey legs, that is!
[ Laughs ]
Well, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Oh, thank you, Elizabeth.
Justin from Carver, Massachusetts.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Justin, you were wearing a different shirt earlier.
[ Laughs ]
I was, Elizabeth.
That was my Whammy shirt.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Unfortunately, they actually brought the Whammies,
so I switched into this little thing.
I think it's a good strategy.
You need to shake that Whammy off.
I get it. I need to shake it off.
Okay, well, I love this top.
Thank you. Tell me about yourself. What do you do back in Carver?
Back in Carver, I grew up in Ocean Spray territory,
home of the cranberry bog... Oh, yes.
...and the Ocean Spray cranberry.
So, as kids, we would run down to the bog,
scoop up the cranberries before they were harvested.
I still do that today as an adult,
but I mix them with a little vodka.
Okay, I need to get the biscuits,
the turkey legs, and the vodka crans,
and we need to have a party.
I see what's going on here.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Well, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Good luck tonight. Thank you.
Let's get back into the game, shall we?
Alright, it's time for Round 2.
Question 1.
An octopus has eight limbs,
an octagon has eight sides,
and according to a standard American calendar,
what is the eighth month of the year?
Carmenita.
August.
August. Kelley, is it August, September, October?
August.
What do you think, Justin?
I'm gonna go with August.
It is, in fact, August.
That means Carmenita picked up three spins,
Kelley picked up a spin, and Justin picked up a spin.
Alright, Question 2.
If you order an extra hot half caff, no foam,
hazelnut, oat milk latte, that's your prerogative,
but just know your barista is judging you.
[ Laughter ]
In a 2022 survey by Drive Research,
out of every five American adults,
how many said they prefer their coffee black?
Justin.
I'm gonna go with two.
Carmenita, is it two out of five,
three out of five, one out of five?
I'd say one out of five.
What do you think, Kelley?
I'm gonna say three.
It's two out of five!
That means Justin picked up three spins.
Alright, final chance to pick up spins
to take to that Big Board.
Here we go.
Okay, let's get silly for a minute
and pretend that animals wear clothes
named after the sounds they make.
'Cause why not?
A dog would wear a woof woof,
a duck would wear a quack quack,
but what flowy dress sounds very similar
to the sound that cattle make?
Kelley.
Muumuu.
Carmenita, is it muumuu, baa baa, neigh neigh?
Muumuu.
What do you think, Justin?
I'm gonna go with muumuu.
Muumuu it is. That's right.
That means Carmenita picked up a spin,
bringing her total to four,
Kelley got three big spins, bringing her total to four,
and Justin picked up a spin, bringing his total to five.
Now, let's take these spins to the Big Board.
Let's go win some cash and prizes.

our Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Okay, but as Barry reminded you,
the Whammy is still out there,
and if you hit one, he takes all your money,
sends your bank right back down to zero.
Four Whammies puts you out of the game.
If your bank in the bonus game ever reaches $500,000,
the game's over because we automatically
bump those winnings to $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
In this first round, Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
There they are.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there's always more than just cash up on the board.
We picked out some personalized prizes
just for you, Carmenita.
Let's see the first one.
It's wigs.
[ Screams, laughs ]
This is 25 full-lace, human hair wigs.
A lady needs her wigs.
I need wigs. They're very expensive, so...
Yes, they are.
...I only have one.
But I'm going to get those wigs.
You're gonna be styling.
I'm gonna be styling. I love it.
Put 'em on the board for Lady Carmenita.
Alright, let's give her a second prize.
What is it?
That's right, it's Crab Legs And Crawfish!
[ Screams ]
Tell me about this. Is this your favorite food?
It's my favorite food.
I mean, I love crab legs and crawfish so much,
I -- Sometimes, I just go on dates with people
I don't even like just to get crab legs.
Ohhh!
I like it.
She's single, she's dating. Yes.
She's getting the good food out of it, okay.
Yes. [ Chuckles ]
This is 100 pounds of Alaskan king crab legs
and 600 pounds of crawfish.
