For the past 898 days,
this stage has been all too quiet.
But tonight, we return to glory.
Tonight, we remember what makes us whole.
Tonight, the audience is back!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back, audience.
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 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 ]
Welcome to "Press Your Luck."
A therapist from Roseville, California,
say hello to Gina.
Hi, Elizabeth!
A flight attendant from Sacramento, California,
give it up for Jordon.
Hi, Elizabeth!
And a legal assistant from Tacoma, Washington,
welcome Cathy, everyone.
Hi, Elizabeth!
Good luck to all three of you.
Tonight, you'll take on the Big Board.
It is loaded with cash and prizes.
And every time you stop the board like this --
Stop! --
you add a little money to 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 the bonus game for a shot at $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
First things first, let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Here we go.
There was a big telethon on the other night.
The Wicked Witch of the West was there,
so were Shrek, the Grinch, and Oscar the Grouch.
But the highlight was when they all sang
Kermit the Frog's popular song.
"It's Not Easy Being..."
Gina. Green.
Gina, if you're right, you'll pick up three spins.
But before we find out,
I'll present your answer plus two others to your opponents,
and if they choose the correct answer,
they'll each earn a single spin.
So, Jordon, is Kermit the Frog's popular song
"It's Not Easy Being..." what?
Is it green, mean, fictional?
Green. What do you think, Cathy?
It's green.
It is, in fact, green.
That means Gina picked up three spins,
Jordon picked up a spin, and Cathy picked up a spin.
Question 2.
It's late at night when you see one in your kitchen
or worse, you see two.
According to a recent OnePoll survey,
what is America's most hated insect?
Cathy. A roach.
Cathy said it's a roach.
Gina, is it a roach, an ant, a spider?
I'm gonna go with the roach.
What do you think, Jordon?
I will also say roach.
I mean, roaches are disgusting.
Of course it's a roach!
Yes!
That means that Gina picked up a spin,
Jordon picked up a spin, and Cathy picked up three spins.
God, I'm getting the willies just thinking about it.
[ Laughter ] All right, ready?
Question 3 -- last chance to earn spins right now.
He got an Oscar nod for "Pulp Fiction,"
famously objected to reptiles on an aircraft,
and narrated a sweet bedtime book titled
"Go the [Bleep] to Sleep." [ Laughter ]
Cathy.
Samuel L. Jackson.
Cathy said it's Samuel L. Jackson.
Gina, is it Samuel L. Jackson, Quentin Tarantino,
or John Travolta?
I think it was Samuel L. Jackson.
What do you think, Jordon?
It was Samuel L. Jackson.
Because he's super famous for saying [bleep]
[ Laughter ]
So Gina picked up a spin for a total of five,
Jordon picked one up for a total of three,
and Cathy, three more big spins for a total of seven.
Now let's see if we can turn those spins into cash.
Time to take on the Big Board!
♪♪
We've got thousands of dollars and some wild prizes
on our Big Board tonight, but beware of the Whammy.
[ Sour note plays ]
Land on one, he'll take away all your cash and prizes.
And if you rack up four Whammies,
you're out of the game. Let's get to it.
We'll start with the player who has the fewest spins.
That's you, Jordon.
That's me. Take it away!
Here we go!
Let's go! Right here! Big bucks!
I want a transparent canoe.
And stop!
Yeah! It's a Fleet Of Roombas.
Roombas!
This is eight vacuuming robots for your house, Jordon.
Yes! And who doesn't need eight vacuuming robots?
I need them.
How much are they worth?
4,550 bucks in the bank.
You can press your luck with those spins,
or pass them.
How are you feeling?
We're just getting started.
I'm gonna press my luck!
Here we go! Big bucks, big bucks.
Stay away, Whammies. Big trips.
And stop!
Okay, okay. $1,500.
You can press your luck with that spin or pass it.
We're gonna press my luck.
Let's go, Elizabeth.
Come on, let's go. Right here.
No Whammies.
Mexico City, yes!
Mommy wants to go to Mexico!
Ready?
And stop!
Okay, we'll take it. $1,900.
We'll take it, yeah. All right, Jordon.
$7,950.
All right, Gina! Elizabeth.
It's your turn to take on the Big Board.
Are you ready?
I am so ready!
The board is yours.
Okay, Big Board, be good to me now.
No Whammies, big bucks.
Let's go to Mexico City.
And stop!
Whoo!
$1,600.
Okay, Gina, four more spins.
You can press them or pass them.
I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth.
Here we go!
Let's get some big bucks now.
Come on now.
And stop!
$2,600. [ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go, let's go!
$4,200, 3 spins.
I'm gonna press my luck.
It's the name of the game.
Come on, Board, be good to me now.
No Whammies.
Let's get some big bucks.
And stop!
$1,875.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Two more spins. Press them or pass them?
I'm gonna press my luck. All right.
Come on, Board, be good to me now.
Let's go to Mexico City.
No Whammies.
And stop!
[ Cheers and applause ] Mexico City!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo!
How much is Mexico City worth?
$4,163.
Whoo! One more spin.
Press it or pass it?
I'm going to pass that spin.
She's passing it.
Oh, baby!
Whenever you pass, the spins go
to the opponent with the most money.
Right now that's Jordon.
So, bang, there it is, Jordon.
And you're gonna take it right now.
Come on, big bucks, big bucks.
Add A One. Let's Add A One, baby.
Right here.
No Whammies, anything but a Whammy.
Stop!
$2,250. Okay, okay.
We'll take it, we'll take it. Whoo!
Oh, my God. [ Laughs ]
Holy crap! [ Laughs ]
You didn't catch her. She's still in first place.
But now Cathy's got seven big spins.
Here we go.
Okay.
Come on, big bucks, Big bucks!
Give me that diamond bracelet.
And stop!
$1,875. Yes!
Cathy, are you gonna press your luck?
I came to press my luck, Elizabeth.
Whoo! All right.
Yes!
Come on, I need big bucks.
Come on. No Whammies. Add A One.
And stop!
$2,000. Yes!
You still have five spins.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth.
Let's go!
Come on, big bucks!
Add A One.
Come on, big bucks.
And stop!
Ahhhhh! Add A One!
She did it!
And you took the lead!
$13,875.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yes!
So, four spins. How are you feeling?
Do you want to press your luck some more,
or do you want to pass those spins?
I'm gonna play one more time.
Okay! One more time.
Come on, I rebuke you.
In the name of Jesus, give me the big bucks!
And stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
[ Audience groans ]
Whammy: [ Laughs ]
[ Whirl! ]
[ Strike! ]
Whammy strikes again.
[ Boing! ] It's okay.
Oh, he bowled you right over.
It's okay.
Three more spins. Are you gonna press your luck?
I'm gonna press my luck!
She wants to build that bank back up.
Cathy: Come on, come on. Here we go.
Big bucks, big bucks! Big bucks!
And stop!
$1,500.
Okay.
Two more spins.
I'm pressing, Elizabeth. Okay.
Let's go. No question about it.
Come on, big bucks!
Big bucks, big bucks!
Anything but a Whammy.
And stop!
[ Sour note plays ] [ Audience groans ]
Whammy: On your right, you'll see the Hollywood Sign.
And on your left, you'll see absolutely nothing.
[ Laughter ]
Holy smokes, is that Elizabeth Banks?
[ Zip! ] Aah!
Don't take my money.
[ Boing! ] Don't take my money.
All right, Cathy, you have two Whammies.
As a reminder -- four Whammies,
you're out of the game altogether.
We're only in Round 1.
I'm gonna pass it.
Elizabeth: She's gonna pass it.
All right. Good luck, Gina.
Here we go! Opportunity knocks.
We need some big bucks.
Come on, now. I'll take that diamond bracelet.
No Whammies.
Stop!
Whoo! $2,750.
All right.
Whoo!
And that is the end of Round 1.
Gina, the big winner so far with $12,988.
But we are just getting warmed up.
There's more spins, more big bucks
when "Press Your Luck" continues.
Come on back.
♪♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn about our contestants.
Gina, you're from Roseville, California.
I am. Tell me about yourself.
I am a therapist and a psychology professor
at a university up in northern California.
I am married to my amazing husband for the last 13 years,
and I am on a quest
to hit up all 50 states by the time I turn 50.
Amaz-- How many do you have left?
I have two years left and two states left.
I still need to hit up Michigan and Kentucky.
Well, good luck. I hope you make it to 50
and all 50 states. Amen.
[ Applause ]
Jordon, you're from Sacramento, California.
Tell me about yourself.
I am a flight attendant.
And do you have any advice to passengers?
I'm constantly like... So, this is a PSA, y'all.
...how can we have a better flight?
Take notes, take notes, because if you want to be
treated like royalty on a plane, bring us some candy,
bring us some chocolate.
We'll give you the world.
Guys, get out the chocolate
for the good time on the flight.
Great advice, Jordon.
Cathy... Hi, Elizabeth.
...from Tacoma, Washington. Yes.
Tell me about yourself.
I went back to school at age 50 and got my degree.
Congratulations. And I am also an Army veteran.
And I also served in Desert Storm.
Wow. Thank you for your service.
My pleasure.
And you have grandkids, I hear?
I do. I have three.
I call them my heartbeats. Of course.
So, C. J., Nicky, and Christian, I love you.
Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah!
Oh!
All right, good luck.
Let's get back into the game, shall we?
Yes.
It is time for Round 2.
I have four questions. Here we go.
I was in "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks, thank you,
who is in "Apollo 13" with Kevin Bacon,
which means I am two degrees away from Kevin Bacon.
If I have lunch with Kevin and we ate a Baconator,
what fast food restaurant did we go to?
Jordon. Wendy's.
Jordon says we went to Wendy's.
Gina, did we go to Wendy's, Burger King, Dairy Queen?
Let's go with Wendy's.
What do you think, Cathy?
I'm gonna say Wendy's.
The Baconator is served at Wendy's!
Jordon got it. [ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go! That means Gina picked up a spin,
Jordon picked up three spins, and Cathy picked up a spin.
Whoo! Question 2.
It's not summertime
without a rousing game of Marco Polo.
And according to a recent survey in Forbes,
out of every five adults,
how many admit they've peed in a swimming pool?
Gina. I'm gonna go three.
Jordon, is it three out of five,
two out of five, one out of five?
Three.
What do you think, Cathy?
I'm gonna say two.
Thank goodness.
Cathy had the right answer.
Cathy, you picked up a spin. Good job, Cathy.
Phew! Not three.
Still too many. Good Lord.
All right, Question 3.
You might wear one to a baseball game.
Bottles have one.
And according to "Collins Dictionary,"
what teens mean --
Jordon. Cap.
I'm gonna finish the question, Jordon.
When teens mean "no lie," they instead use the slang term
"No..." what?
Jordon said cap very confidently with a lot of moves.
Gina, is it cap, lid, cover?
Definitely cap.
What do you think, Cathy?
Cap. No cap,
I did not know it was no cap.
Jordon is right.
Gina picked up a spin,
Jordon picked up three spins, and Cathy picked up a spin.
Whoo! All right, Question 4.
This is your last chance
to pick up spins to take to the Big Board.
A cue stick is used to play pool or billiards.
A broomstick is used to sweep floors.
But tell me what kind of stick
is used to check the oil in your car engine?
Cathy. Dipstick.
Gina, is it dipstick, shift stick, ChapStick?
Dipstick. [ Laughs ]
What do you think, Jordon?
Dipstick. You sure you don't want
to check it with your ChapStick?
[ Laughter ]
That'll be a little awkward.
It is, in fact, the dipstick.
Gina, that means you pick up a spin,
bringing your total to three.
Jordon picked up a spin, bringing his total to seven.
And, Cathy, three more spins, bringing your total to six.
Let's take these spins to the Big Board.
Here we go.
♪♪
Okay. Look at this board!
It's Round 2 so we're doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And remember, whoever has the biggest bank
after this round gets to keep all their cash and prizes
and moves on to the bonus game
for a shot at $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Cathy, you have the least amount of money,
so you are going to spin first.
Take it away, Cathy.
Come on, big bucks.
I need double to take the lead.
Come on, big bucks. Give me that car.
Come on, big bucks. I need it.

I'm gonna take the $5,500, Elizabeth.
$5,500 in the bank for Cathy.

Would you like to press your luck
or pass those spins?
I have to press my luck, Elizabeth.
All right.
I didn't come this far to go home empty-handed.
I need that $10,000 and a spin.

How much do we think the shoes are worth?
Let's show her. How much?
$7,800.
[ Cheers and applause ]
What do you think?
I'm gonna pass the spins, Lord.
She's ready to pass them.
Those passed spins
go to Gina.
There they are, and Gina's gonna have to take them.

Cathy is a friend that I think everybody should have.
You know, if something's going on late at night

you don't even have to say, "Come," she's there.
And not only that, Cathy is a secret angel.

Thank you.
Whoo! Let's keep the blessings going right now.
Yes, yes, yes. All right.
You're gonna face off against the Whammy over five rounds.
At the end of each round, you can take whatever cash
and prizes are in your bank and walk away
or you can stay, press your luck, play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
If you make it to the Final Round,
our Big Bucks Bonanza... [ Laughs ]
...one spin could be worth $100,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there's still Whammies out there.
So four Whammies, you're out of the game altogether.
If your bank in the bonus game ever reaches $500,000,
this game's over.
Because we automatically bump your winnings
to a total of $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
All right. In this first round, Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
But the bonus game on "Press Your Luck,"
as Cathy, you yourself said,
likes to change lives.
We like to make it personal.
And so we figured you might need or want this.
It's Central Air.
Yes! Oh, she brought out the fan.
Oh, yeah.
We are installing central air conditioning
with a smart thermostat in your home.
Why is this something that you need?
My mom lives with me, and she likes the heat on 90.
Oh, no. And I am burning up.
I'm in my room hiding out with the fans and the windows open.
Yeah, and the windows. And she's, "Can you turn up the heat?"
So, yeah, this would be perfect.
That's right, you can live in harmony with your mother.
All right. Put the central air on the board.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And let's show Cathy one more prize.
It's Starbucks. Yes!
She loves it.
[ Laughs ] This is two grande cups of coffee a day,
plus a vanilla almond milk latte.
Apparently, that's your drink.
And a box of Keurig dark roast pods every week
for five years.
Yes!
Oh, my goodness.
I only started drinking coffee when I was stationed in Germany,
so when I came to Fort Lewis, Washington,
Starbucks, of course, was a big thing.
I started drinking it. That's all I drink.

Show her what it is.
It's a Mercedes Convertible. Yes!
Oh, my goodness! Is that your dream car?
That's it, that's it.
Tell me about the Mercedes.
Well, when I was in Germany,
I drove an old raggedy German car.
My daughters used to laugh about it, and I said,
"You know what? One day I'm gonna be able
to get a brand-new candy-apple red convertible Mercedes."
Wow, there it is! That's my car.
Put it on the board for Cathy.

Show her what it is.
Yes! It's an RV.
Yes, that's it!
[ Laughs ]
All right, this RV comes installed with a Murphy bed,
a full kitchen, a shower, an entertainment system,
theater-style seats inside.
I mean, this is luxury on the road.
Why do you want to RV?
'Cause, like I said, my mom lives with me now,
and she has health issues,
and I want to be able to take her traveling
while she's still able.
Yeah. We have family all over the state,
so that would mean the world to me.
I can take her and my heartbeats.
Put the RV up on the board for Cathy. Yes!
Cathy, I want you to be able to take your family
on those amazing trips.
