Elizabeth: Do you hear that?
The holiday marathon in the making.
Stay tuned.
Tonight, these three players
will try to stuff their stockings with big, big bucks.
But they'll have to avoid the Whammy
in the most magical game of the holiday season.
From Television City in Hollywood,
it's time to press your luck.
And now here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"
Elizabeth Banks.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
It's become the Yuletide tradition
you can't live without.
Welcome to our third annual
"Press Your Luck" holiday extravaganza.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Let's go meet our three players.
♪♪
From Appleton, Wisconsin, say hello to Jeff.
Oh, Merry Christmas!
A marketing strategist from Tucson, Arizona, Anis is here.
Hi, everyone. Merry Christmas!
And finally, she's a flight attendant
from Arlington, Virginia.
Please, welcome Amy, everybody.
Merry Christmas! Hey!
Good luck to all three of you.
Tonight, you get to take on our Big Board.
It's filled with more cash and presents than Santa's sleigh.
And every time you stop the board like this --
stop! --
you add a little money in the bank just like that.
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 ]
But first things first.
Let's earn some spins
I have three questions for this round.
Here we go.
This perennial plant gets top billing over holly
in a Frank Sinatra classic,
Andy Williams uses it as a verb
in "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,"
and -- scandalous -- the Jackson 5
saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath it.
Jeff. Mistletoe.
Anis, is it mistletoe, edelweiss, poinsettia?
Mistletoe. What do you think, Amy?
Mistletoe.
Of course it's mistletoe
that Mommy was kissing Santa under.
So Jeff picked up three spins, Anis picked up a spin,
and Amy picked up a spin.
Question 2 --
it didn't fit, you don't need it,
or it's just plain ugly.
No matter the reason,
that Christmas present is going back to the store.
Anis. Is it a Christmas sweater?
Whew.
Let me finish the question, Anis.
According to a survey by the coupon site RetailMeNot,
out of every three Americans,
how many said they have returned or exchanged a gift
they received over the holiday season?
Jeff, is it a Christmas sweater,
two out of three, three out of three?
I believe that would be three out of three.
What do you think, Amy?
I will go with two out of three.
Have you guys returned anything
from your Christmas gifts?
Yes. Oh, yeah.
Right? We all have.
Yeah. Exactly.
Same. Me too.
I really wish Santa would start leaving gift receipts, honestly.
Exactly. Please.
But only two out of three said they did in this survey.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So no spins for Jeff or Anis, and Amy picked up a spin.
Alright, final question, Final chance to pick up spins.
On the third day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me three French hens.
Thanks? [ Laughter ]
But if I get three strikes in a row in bowling,
that's called what kind of bird?
Amy. Turkey.
Jeff, is it a turkey, eagle, sparrow?
It's a turkey.
What do you think, Anis? Turkey.
It is indeed a turkey that you have with three strikes.
So Jeff picks up a spin for 4,
Anis picks up a spin for 2,
and Amy picks up three spins for five.
I wish I bowled better.
I've never had a turkey in my life.
That's all the questions we have in this round.
Let's see if we can turn these spins into cash and presents
on the Big Board. Let's go.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
'Tis always better to give than receive.
So we've got thousands of dollars in presents
on our Big Board tonight.
But beware of our resident scrooge,
better known as the Whammy.
[ Sour note plays ] [ All booing ]
If you rack up four Whammies, you're out of the game.
Anis, are you ready?
Elizabeth, I'm ready. Let's do it.
Press your luck, Anis.
Come on, Big Board!
Give it to me! It's Christmas!
I want to go to Lake Tahoe for Christmas.
And stop!
Ohh! [ Sour note plays ]
Ugh.
I've come to take all your cash.
What?! You don't have any money?
[ Laughter ]
Well, this is awkward.
Whew, that was very Grinchy indeed.
Here we go. One more.
Come on! I want big bucks! Give it to me!
Give me the big bucks, Board!
Come on! It's Christmas! I want big bucks.
And stop!
$1,750. You're on the board, Anis.
Nice.
Jeff, it is your turn with the Big Board.
Whoo! Alright.
Press your luck, Jeff.
Oh, big bucks, big bucks!
No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies!

[ Sour note plays ] Oh, my goodness.
Uh-oh. Goose egg.
[ Laughing ]
[ Bird cawing ]
Ahh! Ahh!
I'm being digested!
[ Boing! ]
Talk about a Christmas goose.
Three more spins, Jeff.
Press you luck or pass those spins?
Elizabeth, I'm gonna press my luck.
Good luck.
Big Board, big bucks, big bucks!
Snow maker trip, all those!
And stop!
There we go. $1,505 in the bank.
Alright, Jeff, two more spins. Come on, now.
Press or pass?
I'm gonna press my luck.
Whoo!
Alright. Here we go. No Whammies, big bucks.
And stop!
Alright. $1,500. $1,500. Alright.
Jeff you're now in the lead.
$3,005 in the bank. One more spin.
It is the Christmas season, so I'm gonna pass my gift.
Ah. Whenever you pass your spins,
they go to the opponent with the most money.
Right now, that's you, Anis.
You have to take that spin.
Go for it. Anis: Come on, Big Board!
I want Christmas trees for life!
Give it to me, Big Board!
And stop!
Move Two Spaces! Big bucks!
You are now in the lead.
But, Amy, it is your turn with our Big Board.
Good luck, Amy.
Come on, no Whammies!
Big bucks, big bucks, no Whammies!
And stop!
Move Two Spaces back to big bucks!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Second place. Four more spins.
Press your luck or pass?
I'm gonna press my luck!
Yes! No Whammies, no Whammies!
No Whammies!
And stop!
Okay. $1,500.
Three more spins. Press 'em or pass 'em?
Elizabeth, I'm going to press my luck!
She likes this board.
Okay. I'd like a sleigh ride,
make some snow, snow maker.
No Whammies.
And stop!
Ah! $1,500. Alright.
Two more spins. Keep it going?
I'm gonna do the famous last words --
one more spin.

Amy, those are famous last words for a reason.
Now you know.
You have one final spin.
You can press your luck with that spin or you can pass it.
It would go to Anis.
I have to press my luck!
She's gonna build that bank right back up.
Here we go. No Whammies!

Welcome back to "Press Your Luck"
holiday extravaganza,
where, hopefully, we'll be roasting
Whammies' chestnuts on an open fire.
Before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn a little bit more about our contestants.
So, Jeff from Appleton, Wisconsin,
tell us about yourself.
Hello, Elizabeth.
I've been married this month to my wonderful wife
for 40 consecutive years.
40 years married.
That deserves a big round of applause.
Congrats.
I was a clown for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
No way! I was a stunt clown.
So, if you ever saw a clown run into the wall,
get thrown down stairs, shot out of cannons,
dropped off a trapeze... [ Chuckles ]
You were shot out of a cannon?
I was 6'4" when I started.
[ Laughter ]
I love it.
And what are the holidays like for you, Jeff?
I don't know if you know.
You have a strong resemblance to a holiday figure.
Yes, and thankfully not the Grinch.
Obviously, I'm an ambassador of the Christmas spirit.
And it's just an opportunity to spend some quality time
with the children and listen to their wishes and their dreams.
And I think that's probably
the most important skill that Santa has taught me,
is how to listen to one another and how important that is.
You truly represent the holiday spirit, Jeff.
I love what you're doing for your community.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Good luck tonight. Thank you.
Thanks, Elizabeth. I appreciate it.
Anis from Tucson, Arizona.
Tell us about yourself, Anis.
I am a marketing strategist
for a data and process automation software company.
In my free time, I love to volunteer in my community.
There's an organization called
The League of Mexican American Women
that my grandmother was in, my mom has been,
and we raise funds for scholarships all year round,
especially during the holiday season.
We, you know, partner up with other organizations
to take kids shopping with donated money.
Santa comes.
And that time of year is so special to us.
And that's why I love Christmas, really.
It's just the perfect time to give back.
Other than that, I also recently got engaged.
Oh, congratulations!
And so I've been spending my time wedding planning
with my incredible fiancé.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
I love three generations of giving back to your community.
Yes, it's -- I could cry. It's incredible.
What an incredible gift
your grandmother and your mother gave to you.
Yes, thank you.
What kind of family traditions do you guys have
at the holidays besides giving back like that?
Yeah. A bit crazy. I'm Mexican.
We do a lot of Mexican food.
We get together and make tamales together. Yeah.
And we even leave out cookies still for Santa.
We leave out cookies, milk, and a shot of Patrón...
Oh. ...that Santa does take every time, so...
Much appreciated by Santa, no doubt.
Anis, it is so lovely to have you here on "Press Your Luck."
Welcome. Good luck tonight.
Thank you.
Amy from Arlington, Virginia.
You were a flight attendant for 25 years?
I've been a flight attendant for United.
I have an adult son.
His name is Corey, and I love him dearly.
And I also have a boyfriend,
and I've been with him for 18 years.
I feel like you two have figured something out.
It's working wonderful.
What is the holiday season like for you?
Oh, my goodness.
So, when I'm not at work,
I have a doggy treat business.
So, I started the business because I have a dog.
Her name is Jada, and she's a Cane Corso.
And I know you have a dog.
I do. Saucer.
Yes, Saucer! Yes!
He's a Schnoodle.
Okay. I love it.
[ Applause ]
And during Christmas,
I make little doggy treats in a jar
and I put a little snow globe on the top.
So I brought some for Saucer.
Well, Saucer is gonna be a very lucky dog.
That's going to be a great stocking stuffer.
Okay. I hope he enjoys them.
Oh, he enjoys everything.
Exactly.
Thank you so much for being here, Amy.
Yes. Good luck tonight.
Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Alright, let's get back into the game.
It's time for Round 2.
I have four questions this time.
Here we go.
If Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise
take a Christmas cruise from Spain to America
and they go on the most direct route possible,
they'll cross what ocean?
[ Laughter ]
[ Buzzer ]
I think it's the same route they took to find America.
[ Laughter ]
Since nobody rang in,
I'll give you three answers to choose from,
and a correct answer will be worth one spin.
Jeff, would they cross
the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian?
The Atlantic.
What do you think, Anis?
I'm gonna say Atlantic.
What do you think, Amy?
Atlantic.
Yes, on the globe,
they would cross the Atlantic Ocean.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Jeff picked up a spin. Anis picked up a spin.
Amy picked up a spin.
I feel like the star power of Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise
just blew everyone's mind.
[ Laughter ]
Question 2 --
'Twas the night before Christmas in a holiday flick
filled with dangerous traps that are mostly slapstick,
a searing hot doorknob, paint cans to the face,
a sharp exposed nail on the basement staircase,
a coating of feathers and a layer of glue,
a blow torch, tarantula, and BB gun, too.
Poor Harry and Marv wish they'd never known
the first name of the kid who was left home alone.
Contestants, what's that name?
[ Crowd laughing, murmuring ]
Whoo!
The audience knows this one.
Jeff, is the name I'm looking for Ralphie, Kevin, Cindy Lou?
Elizabeth, I'm gonna go with Kevin.
What are do you think, Anis? Kevin.
Amy? Kevin.
It is Kevin McCallister from "Home Alone,"
famously played by Macaulay Culkin.
So Jeff picked up a spin, Anis picked up a spin,
and Amy picked up a spin.
Alright, here we go. Question 3 --
You can keep the holiday spirit in your heart all year round,
but how long do you keep the tree?
According to Today's Homeowner online,
out of every four Americans,
how many take down their holiday decorations before January 1st?
Jeff? Three.
Anis, is it three out of four,
two out of four, one out of four?
Two out of four.
What do you think, Amy?
Three out of four.
When do you take down your Christmas decorations?
Do you take them down before January 1st?
We leave it up all year.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Christmas Cottage 24/7 in Appleton.
Anis, what about you?
Oh, we leave ours up until
middle of January, yeah. Uh-huh.
And Amy? Same here, middle of January.
So, why did any of you think
people took it down before January 1st?
You never know.
[ Laughter ]
Only one out of four of us
take down our decorations before New Year's Eve, guys.
No spins on that one.
Last question. Here we go.
Here in Hollywood, in the season of holi-days,
we might look forward to a Holly Jolly Christmas,
but according to the title of a classic Christmas carol,
what exactly do we deck with boughs of holly?
Anis. The halls.
Jeff, do we deck the halls, deck the house, deck the hills?
[ Chuckles ] The halls.
What do you think, Amy? Halls.
We do, of course, deck the halls.
So Jeff picked up a spin for 3,
Anis picked up three spins for five,
and Amy picked up a spin for three.
That's all the questions I have in this round.
Let's take these spins to the Big Board
and start winning some cash and presents.
Here we go!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪ Let's go to the Big Board

It's Round 2!
So we are doubling the big bucks to $10,000.
And don't forget about our special square
this season -- The Big 50.

Land on it,
and you win 50 of something
you didn't even know was on your Christmas wish list.
Alright Amy, you have the least amount of money,
so you spin first.
Press your luck, Amy. Good luck.
Okay. The Big 50! The Big 50!

Amy, you are in what we call the danger zone.
If you hit the Whammy, the game is over for you tonight.
You have one final spin.
Would you like to press your luck without spinning
or pass it over to Anis?
Elizabeth...
I'm gonna have to press my luck!
Good luck.
You got to avoid the Whammy to stay in the game.
No Whammies, no Whammies.
Let's get that Lexus!
Get that Lexus! Come on, Lexus!

on a dating app in college.
Wow. Yeah.
So, Adam is the love of my life,
and he is an incredible human and partner
and soon-to-be husband.
That's so fun.
Could you believe it when you rediscovered her on the app?
I couldn't.

lost my kindergarten crush.

Well, Anis is light.
You know, light is the sum of all colors,
and you can see what an amazing person she is
and the joy that she brings to all of our family.
And she brought Adam into our family.
We're just blessed.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Good luck all around. Thank you.
You're gonna face off against the Whammy
over five rounds. At the end of each round,
you can take whatever money is in the bank,
all your presents, walk away,
or stay and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
If you make it to our final round,
our Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there are still Whammies out there.
Four Whammies puts you out of the game.
If your bank in this bonus game ever reaches $500,000,
we automatically stop everything
and we bump those total winnings to $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm coming for it!
In this first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
But there's always more than just cash up on the board.
We have some holiday treats... Ooh!
...picked out off your wish list just for you.
Let's show Anis her first one.
It's a soda fountain.
[ Cheers and applause ]
This is for your kitchen countertop at home,
and it includes 200 gallons of Diet Coke.
Oh, my God! [ Laughs ]
I believe you're a Diet Coke fan.
I am the biggest Diet Coke fan.
And I have to have it from a fountain.
It just tastes different. It really does.
I don't disagree. It really does.
And how incredible would that be to have a soda fountain
in my own home of Diet Coke? Yes.
That's incredible. I want to win it.
Let's put that up on Anis's board.
I love it.
You ready to see a second present...
Oh, my God. Yes. ...picked out just for you this holiday season?
Let's see it. Alright. Let's see it.
It's holidays in New York!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes!
If the Diet Coke was just for you, this is for the family
because you and your family are gonna celebrate the season
with five magical nights in New York.
You'll ice skate in Rockefeller Center,
watch the annual tree-lighting ceremony,
and then you'll get dazzled by the world-famous
"Christmas Spectacular" starring Radio City Rockettes.
Oh, my God. [ Laughs ]
You know what, Elizabeth? I've never been to New York.
And my family and I talk a lot about
wanting to go during the holidays,
and it's always a hectic time for us. Right.
And so getting to do all of those, like,
holiday staples in New York for Christmas is incredible.
Oh, my God.
Let's put holidays in New York up on Anis's board.
And let's get to the win.
Anis, you are starting off this first round with five spins.
Are you ready to build that bank?
Let's build that bank, Elizabeth!
I'm ready! Press your luck.
Come on, Big Board! Give it to me!
I want a soda fountain!
We want to go to New York for the holidays!
I want Big Bucks! I want Big Bucks!
And stop!
$2,500.
Whoo! That's good, right?
That's good. That's good.
Alright. Add a little twinkle to that button
and let's make it happen again.
Let's do it, Big Board. Give it to me.
I want those Big Bucks.
I see New York. I want those Big Bucks.
And stop!
The soda fountain!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Adam: Yeah! Yes!
That's it right there.
Diet Coke from a fountain, just like you like it.
Yes! How much is the home soda fountain worth for Anis's bank?
$9,525.
Amazing. Amazing.
$12,025 in the bank.
Three more spins, three more wins.
Let's do it, Big Board.
I feel it! It's the holiday season!
Give it to me! I want to go to the holidays in New York!
And stop!
$3,333.
That's what we want right there.
$15,358. Easy as that.
Yes. Two more times.
Keep it going.
Let's do it. Come on, Big Board.
I see $10,000 up there.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, my God.
Wow! That's good.
Thank you. Wow.
[ Laughs ] What a way to end the round.
Wow. Wow.
Whew, you hit those Big Bucks.
I did. Oh, my goodness.
Anis, you can walk away right now,
$28,858 in the bank, plus a soda fountain.
Or you can stay and play in Round 2
where the Big Bucks
jump up to $25,000.
One spin could be worth that.
You know what, Elizabeth?
That $25,000 -- I can hit it one time.
I can see their faces over there.
Press your luck. I'm gonna press my luck!
She came to play!
[ Cheers and applause ] Whoo!
Do you mind if I add another one
of your wish list presents to the board?
Elizabeth, please do. I want to see this.
Let show Anis what else we have in store for her.
This is a Toyota Tacoma. [ Cheers and applause ]
Adam, that's you, buddy.
Yeah!
You looked right over at the fiancé.
I did. [ Laughs ]
That is Adam's dream truck.
Adam is still driving the Nissan
that he picked me up in on our first date.
Yeah. And so he is so hard-working,
and he puts his money towards our needs.
[ Voice breaking ] And so a truck for him
would really be a dream come true.
[ Laughs ] Yeah.
Adam, is that your dream truck?
Adam: If I ever get this truck,
I'll never need another car then.
[ Laughs ]
Alright, well, let's put Adam's Toyota Tacoma
up on the board for Anis to win.
Let's do it, Elizabeth.
Come on, Anis. Get that truck. Elizabeth: Anis, you are gonna play
for the holidays in New York, the Toyota Tacoma,
and the Big Bucks worth 25 grand
when "Press Your Luck's" holiday extravaganza
returns right after this. Whoo!

[ Laughs ]
Ah!
Oh, my God. Whew.
This is a very particular blue and yellow Toyota Tacoma.
Why? Yes. Adam is a Chargers fan.
He even named our dog after their quarterback.
And so he's always wanted a blue Tacoma.
Aha. Yes.
Chargers-decked Toyota Tacoma for Adam
is worth how much for the bank?
$39,895. Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.

Let's go!
And stop.
$3,250! [ Shouts indistinctly ]
Whoo!
Look at this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Whew, it's decision time, and this is a big one
because you just won Adam a Toyota Tacoma.
$99,753 in the bank -- that is a lot.
Plus, you got your soda fountain. I did.
You can walk away right now,
or you can stay and press your luck in Round 3
where the big bucks,
they double up to $50,000,
the biggest bucks we've had all night.
And before you make your decision,
I want you to take a look
at what your next prize would be... Oh, my God.
...if you decide to stay and press your luck.
It's a Swiftie bachelorette party. Oh, my God.
Yeah! Whoo!
Anis... Oh, my God.
...I know that you are a Taylor Swift fan.
I am. I'm the Swiftie.
And you happen to be getting married soon.
I do. And we thought we'd combine these things
into a bachelorette party just for you.
You and nine friends will hop in a limo to Phoenix.
You're going to celebrate your upcoming nuptials
at a Taylor Swift-themed dream house.
And then we are flying you to Vancouver,
where you'll see Taylor's Era Tour concert.
Oh, my God.
You'll have premium VIP floor seats
and each take home exclusive tour merch.
How does that sound for a bachelorette?
Oh, my God.
I have loved Taylor Swift since I was in elementary school.
She's incredible.
And to get to see her with my amazing bridesmaids
would be -- oh, my God -- a dream come true.
Wow.
So, you have a big decision to make.
There's $99,000 on the line right now,
so this is really big decision.
Take the truck.
I don't have any Whammies.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
What do you think?
Only you can decide. You know what, Elizabeth?
This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make.
Oh, my God.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
♪♪
You know what?
This is -- It's a big decision.
Big decision.
And seeing Taylor Swift would be insane.
Like, oh, my God.
But the Tacoma is Adam's dream car,
and I have to follow my heart, which is with Adam.
And that amount of money is going to change our lives.
It's going to, you know, fund the wedding of our dreams.
So, you know what?
I have to walk away with this. This is incredible.
Walking away.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Anis has decided she's gonna call it quits.
She didn't want to risk getting that Whammy.
He was -- I felt him. He was coming.
I had to follow my instinct. She felt that Whammy was coming.
There's no other way to do it here on "Press Your Luck."
You got to always follow your gut.
That's right. I agree. Totally appreciate that.
Thank you. Congratulations, Anis!
You're our winner today! Ahh!
♪♪
Whoo! She's going home a winner.
Alright, Chris, remind everybody
