In three seasons, "Press Your Luck" has produced
some of the most exciting champions of all time.
[ Cheering ]
But tonight's episode is not about the winners.
It's about these guys. Stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
The contestants who woulda... Stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
...coulda... Stop!
[ Sour note plays ] Oh!
...and shoulda. Stop!
Oh, I know you'd like to go back in time right now.
Tonight, these three beautiful losers are back for a shot
at redemption as they play the most exciting game
of their lives for a second time.
From Television City in Hollywood,
it's time to press your luck -- again!
And now here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"
Elizabeth Banks!
Elizabeth: Hi!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Welcome to "Press Your Luck," the game of big risks
and even bigger bucks.
Our players tonight know a little something
about big risks.
All three of them faced off
against the Whammy and went home empty-handed.
So let's welcome them back.
[ Cheers and applause ]
From Augusta, Georgia, Falawna is back.
Hi, Elizabeth!
And San Ramon, California, give it up once again for Sandy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And from Dallas, Texas, please welcome back Mark.
Hi, Elizabeth!
Good luck to all three of you.
Tonight, you'll take on the Big Board.
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 ]
Are you three ready to press your luck again?
[ All shouting indistinctly ] Yes! Alright.
Well, first things first. Let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round. Here we go.
This beloved party game was originally conceived
as tic-tac-toe with your body.
At one point, it was --
Falawna.
Twister.
And it was initially considered too sexy
to sell to the public.
What colorful game am I talking about?
Falawna said Twister.
Sandy, is the game...
Twister, Taboo, Dance Dance Revolution?
Twister. What do you think, Mark?
I'm gonna go with Twister.
It is indeed Twister! Falawna had it.
[ Cheering ]
That's three spins for you,
a spin for Sandy, and a spin for Mark.
Question 2.
It's January 1st and it's time to make
your New Year's resolutions.
According to Statista, how many of every four people
say that their resolution is to exercise more?
Mark?
Three. Falawna,
is it three out of four,
two out of four, one out of four?
Three out of four. What do you think, Sandy?
I'm gonna say three out of four.
So all three of you said three out of four.
[ Laughter ]
That is incorrect. -Oh, no!
I am so sorry. No spins for anybody.
It's two out of four. It's 50%.
I don't know about you, but my take on resolutions
is you can't break 'em if you don't make 'em.
There you go. That's right.
Alright. Question 3.
Last chance to pick up spins to take to the Big Board.
Here we go.
Every generation has their boy band
from NKOTB to BSB,
and so far, the 2020s are no exception.
What three-letter K-pop boy band is known --
Falawna?
BTS.
What three-letter K-pop boy band is known
for their record-breaking singles "Dynamite" and "Butter"?
Sandy is it BTS, EXO, QVC?
BTS. What is it, Mark?
It is BTS.
It is indeed BTS.
-My daughters love them. -That means Falawna picked up
three more spins, bringing her total to six.
Sandy picked up a spin for two,
and Mark picked up a spin for two.
Are you all ready to take on the Big Board?
-Yes! -Come on!
-Whoo!
♪♪
Yeah. Yeah.
♪♪
-I'm ready! -You're ready?
♪♪
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. Sandy is up right now.
Lead the way, Sandy.
Here we go. I brought back the lucky hand.
Please be lucky.
No Whammies.
Big bucks. Come on.
And stop!
Oh! Aw.
Add A One to zero, you get $10 in the bank.
$10 more than I had.
And you can press your luck and spin again,
or you can pass that spin. Oh!
I'll press my luck.
She is gonna press her luck.
Come on. No Whammies. Big bucks.
$1,750. I'll take it.
Whoo! I'll take it! $1,760.
Money, money, money!
And it is now Mark's turn
on the Big Board. Mark: Alright!
You ready? Let's do it!
Win it all!
Let's go to Bali!
I see 12 bottles of Dom Pérignon.
And stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
Oh.
What?
I've come to take all your cash.
What? You don't have any money?
[ Laughter ]
Well, this is awkward. [ Chuckles nervously ]
[ Boing! ]
The Whammy got zilch. Zip-a-dee-do.
You have one spin left.
Okay. We'll make it a good spin.
He's gonna press his luck.
Let's get some money on the board, Mark!
Good spin! Let's get some money on the board!
And...stop!
$4,000! You have the lead! Whoo! Okay.
You are now in first place.
There you go. Alright.
Falawna, are you ready? I'm ready.
I'm trying to get that Sandy hand anointed.
Yes. The board is yours, Falawna.
Come on. Give me Pop-Tarts for life for my 11-year-old!
She loves Pop-Tarts!
And...stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
Mark, can you believe this?
You don't have any money?
I'm not mad. I'm just, you know, disappointed.
-[ Sighs ] -So am I!
So am I. -I expected better.
[ Boing! ]
Alright. Shake it off, Falawna. Girl.
Five spins. You gonna press your luck with those spins?
I gotta press my luck.
You've got this, Falawna.
You know, I want a trip to Bali!
And...
stop!
Ooh! Magic lessons.
30 magic lessons. Oh, wow.
How much is that worth for Falawna's bank?
$3,600.
Four more spins. Press your luck or pass those spins?
They would go to Mark.
I got to catch up to my friend Mark,
so I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth.
No Whammies! No Whammies!
I need money, money, money, money, money.
And stop!
Aah! Outdoor TV.
-Let's go! -What?
Dang, you pulling in all the prizes.
Girl, I don't know, but I'll take it.
I bet you'll take this, too.
Oh!
First place, three spins left.
You want to keep going, or you want to pass those spins?
They'd go to Mark.
You know, I'm having PTSD from last year.
I get it. I get it.
I'm gonna pass my spins. Alright.
Yeah. Whenever you pass,
your spins go to the opponent with the most money.
Right now that's you, Mark.
Good luck, Mark. Three spins you have to take.
Three spins. Let's get big bucks!
And stop!
That's the Big Bucks!
Whoo! Whoo! I got it!
-You're in first place. -Alright.
And that's where we're gonna stay.
Two more spins, Mark.
Two more spins. No Whammies!
I want that trip to Bali! Let's make it rain champagne!
And stop!
Move Two Spaces -- big bucks!
Whoo! Whoo! Yes!
It's $5,000.
One more spin you got to get through.
One more spin! I still want to make it rain champagne.
Let's do this!
And stop!
$1,750, and it's not over. Okay.
$14,750.
You picked up a spin.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
But you know what? I like where I am right now.
I'm gonna pass that spin back to my good friend.
Elizabeth: Passing it. Falawna has that spin now.
Let's go, Falawna. Good luck.
No Whammies. No Whammies.
And...stop!
Aah! Big Bucks.
$3,000.
Yes! That's the end of Round 1.
-Oh, my God. -This is already
a crazy, exciting game.
These three will keep on sticking it to the Whammy
when our sweet redemption episode
of "Press Your Luck" continues.
Come on back.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Now, before we jump into Round 2,
let's take a walk down memory lane
with our returning contestants.
Falawna from Augusta, Georgia,
give us a life update. How are things?
I am still the worship pastor at a church,
and I still have my beautiful daughters
who are 13 now and 11.
They are my world.
You played one of the most legendary front games
that this show has ever seen with three Whammies.
You survived 10 passed spins only to get more passed spins.
Let's take a look.
$86,000 and five spins
is pretty darn slim.
Yes.
I'm passing those spins.
If Falawna hits the Whammy, Mathew wins the game.
Falawna, press your luck.
Ohhhh!
And...
stop!
Oh! There it is.
[ Chuckles ]
I just feel like that was the Whammy
that was heard all around the universe.
It was.
It was the most painful,
painful thing that ever happened to me in my lifetime.
[ Laughs ] But I'm so blessed
to be back again, so thank you.
Good luck, Falawna. We're so happy to have you back.
Thank you. Alright.
Sandy from San Ramon, California,
last time you were with us,
you told us you'd been engaged for 19 years.
How's it going with Dan? You married yet?
We're engaged for 21 years.
Okay!
Well, when you were here before,
your lucky hand brought you luck until that final spin.
Here's what happened.
This lucky hand works one more time!
Elizabeth: It's down to this.
Good luck. Alright. [ Smooches ]
If you hit the Whammy, Tillman's going to the Bonus Game.
Please. Come on!
[ Sour note plays ]
It's the Whammy! Tillman!
I have relived that spin over and over.
To be back and have the chance again
is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,
and I couldn't be happier.
Well, we are so excited to have you back.
Thank you. Thanks for coming back, Sandy.
And Mark from Dallas, Texas...
Hello! ...you're back, too.
The last time you were here,
let's take a look at what happened. Okay.
Mark, you still have four spins. Okay.
You can press your luck with those spins,
or you can pass them.
She has to take them.
Clearly my first strategy did not work,
so I'm gonna go with a new strategy.
I'm gonna be generous,
and I'm going to pass those spins to Ann.
Whoo! And I'm gonna let her hopefully Whammy out.
We'd take another trip.
We want that Lexus.
Alright, big bucks.
Whoo! She did it!
I mean, Mark...
She got lucky with that last spin, but, you know,
I feel like I have a little bit of unfinished business
this time around.
I like that attitude. [ Laughs ]
-Good luck to all of you. -Thank you!
Let's get back into the game. It's time for Round 2.
I've got four questions this time.
Here we go.
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center,
out of every five American adults,
how many say they do not answer their cellphone
if the call comes from an unknown number?
[ Buzzer ]
Alright, well, nobody rang in,
so that means I'll give you three answers to choose from.
A correct answer will be worth one spin.
Falawna, is it three out of five,
four out of five, five out of five?
I'm gonna go with four out of five.
What do you think, Sandy? Four out of five.
Mark? I'm gonna say
four out of five.
You do all have the right answer!
That means Falawna picked up a spin,
Sandy picked up a spin, and Mark picked up a spin.
Who is the one out of five that does answer that call?
My mom. [ Laughs ]
Elizabeth: Question 2.
Coming from the French phrase meaning "already seen,"
what is the name of the feeling
of having already experienced something?
Mark.
Déjà vu.
Falawna, is it déjà vu,
placebo, butterfly effect?
Déjà vu.
Sandy? Déjà vu.
We are all having déjà vu tonight.
That's right! Falawna picked up a spin.
Sandy picked up a spin. Mark, three spins for you.
Question 3.
Music lovers know her from hits like
"Ice Cream" and "Lose You to Love Me,"
and your mom probably knows her
as that adorable girl who solves murders
with Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Who is this multi-hyphenate superstar?
Falawna.
Selena Gomez.
Sandy, is it Selena Gomez,
Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande?
Selena Gomez.
Mark? I'm gonna go with them
and say Selena Gomez.
It is indeed Selena Gomez.
Falawna was right. That's three spins for you.
Sandy got a spin, and Mark got a spin.
-Alright. -Question 4.
When it comes to professional sports,
our neighbors to the north have seven NHL teams,
one NBA team, and one Major League Baseball team.
But how many NFL teams does Canada --
Mark?
One.
...does Canada have?
Falawna, is it one, two, zero?
One.
Sandy? Zero.
There are zero NFL teams in Canada,
which means Falawna ends the round with five spins,
Sandy picked one up for four spins,
Mark ends the round with five spins.
We're taking these spins to the Big Board.
Here we go.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Whoo! Come on, now.
♪♪
It's Round 2, so we're doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
[ Cheers and applause ] Let's go!
Sandy, you have the least amount of money,
so you will spin first.
Four spins. Press your luck, Sandy?
Press my luck.
Alright, good luck.
Big bucks, big bucks.
And stop!
Ooh, $2,750. You picked up a spin.
-Alright. -Four spins left.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I'm gonna press my luck.
Big bucks! [ Smooches ] You've got it in you!
I know you do.
And stop!
Ooh, a decision.
You can have the $4,000, $3,500 and a spin,
or Dolce & Gabbana.
Let's try Dolce & Gabbana.
She wants to try to Dolce & Gabbana.
How much is it worth?
$10,000! Oh, my God!
Sandy, you chose well.
I chose really well.
Three more spins. I'm gonna press my luck!
It's the name of the game, Sandy. I love it.
Big bucks, come on, baby.
Come on. Stop.
$1,500. Whoo!
You're now in first place. Two spins left, Sandy.
I'm gonna press my luck. Whoo!
Take your shot, Sandy. Take your shot.
Come on, Dodge Ram. Come on, big bucks.
Come on, baby. Stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
Oh! No!
You wanted a rematch?
Well, you just got served.
[ Laughs ] Ow!
Ah! Ooh! Ah! Oof! Ow! Ah!
[ Cuckoo! Cuckoo! ]
[ Boing! ]
One final spin.
Press it? Press my luck.
Good luck, Sandy.
Come on, baby!
Dodge Ram, big bucks!
Stop!
$4,750. You're on the board.
You're still alive. Alright.
Falawna, you are up next
with those five spins, and you will take those spins
when "Press Your Luck" continues right after this.
Oh, my gosh!

Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Tonight, three returning players
are here to exorcise their Whammy demons.
[ Laughter ]
It's now or never, friends. Don't blow it.
But it is now Falawna's turn.
Are you ready? As ready as I'll ever be.
Take it away, Falawna.
No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies!
And stop!
Oh, a decision. Whoo!
What you think I'm gonna do?!
I feel like I can guess what you want.
I'm gonna go with a Dodge Ram.
Whoo!
How much is the Dodge Ram?
$56,385.
Boom.
She fell out.
You now lead
by $52,034.
Four spins.
You can press your luck,
or you can pass those spins.
They would go to Mark.
Oh, those Whammies love me,
and I don't want to love them back.
She doesn't want anymore Whammy love.
I'm gonna pass.
Alright, Mark,
those are four spins that you have to take.
Falawna, you did 10 in a row without a Whammy,
so I'm gonna do these four.
Thank you for the spins.
Whoo, Nelly!
Let's get those big bucks.
And stop!
Whoo! $3,750.
Alright. $18,500.
Three more spins.
Okay. Manifest that money, Mark.
Let's do it! Let's get that penguin experience.
I've been obsessed with penguins since I was a child.
And stop!
$3,000. Okay.
Two more you have to take.
Alright, come on, y'all. Let's get that $10,000.
Let's get those big bucks.
Let's win. Take the lead.
And stop.
Ooh, it's a decision.
You can have $4,750 or $1,500 and a spin.
I'm going to take the guaranteed money -- the $4,750.
$4,750. Add it to the bank.
Put that money in the bank.
One final spin.
Thank you for reminding me that. [ Laughs ]
Alright, y'all, anything but a Whammy right here.
Let's get that money.
Anything but a Whammy.
And stop!
$3,500, and you picked up another spin.
You now have six spins.
You get to do with them whatever you like.
I feel comfortable with where I am,
so I'm gonna pass them to my good friend.
She passed them to me, so I'm gonna repay the favor.
Mark, I want to remind you, you have been here before.
I have. It did not work out.
It -- But you know what? New year, new me. Ooh! Okay.
Well, same me, 'cause I'm passing the spins.
Okay. He's passing the spins... Yes.
...over to Falawna.
Falawna, you have been here before, too.
You have to make it through six spins.
Make this board yours! Come on. Show this board who's boss.
So, no Whammies. Big bucks, big bucks, big bucks.
Big bucks.
And stop!
Pick A Corner!
$3,000, $3,500 and a spin, or a pinball machine.
[ Audience shouting indistinctly ]
Everybody else is saying pinball. Let's just try it.
Alright. How much is it worth?
$11,999.
You now have $78,783.
Five more spins.

No Whammies, no Whammies!
And stop!
$3,500.
Two down. Four to go.
Let's keep the legend alive.
No Whammies, and stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
[ Audience groans ]
Time to get to work.
[ Humming ]
What? Uh-oh.
[ Screaming ]
[ Boing! ] Aah!
[ Laughter ]
Oh, Falawna, I'm so sorry.
The good news, because you hit a Whammy,
those passed spins moved over to the Earned column,
which means you now have a choice.
Yeah, I'm in last place, and that's not a good place to be,
so I guess I'm gonna press my luck.
She's gonna press her luck.
No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies.
And stop!
A digital camera.
How much is the digital camera worth?
$5,499.
You are now in second place.
It's a good place to be at "Press Your Luck."
Two more spins.
You can press them,
or you can pass them to Mark.
He has to take them.
[ Audience shouting indistinctly ]
I don't take pride in doing this,
but I'm just gonna have to pass them off to Mark.
Okay. Alright. No worries.
Alright, Mark, the spinning is not over for you tonight.
It's not over. We're back at it.
Two more times you got to make it through. Two spins.
If you keep the lead, you're going to the Bonus Game
for a shot at $1 million. Okay. Okay.
Good luck, Mark.
Anything but a Whammy!
I see that penguin experience!
I wanna play with the penguins.
Anything but a Whammy!

[ Unicorn whinnies ]
Taking your money is magical!
Aah!
[ Bonk! ]
[ Audience booing ]
[ Boing! ] Whew!
The Whammy took your bank down to zero.
You have one spin left.
You can press your luck with that spin.
If you hit a square that's worth more than $5,499,
you go on to the Bonus Game. Okay.
Or you can pass that spin.
It would go back Falawna.
Do you want to go for it, or do you want to pass it?
I have no choice.
I have to take this spin.
I'm going to press my luck!
-He's gonna press his luck. -Oh, my God!

Falawna, you did it.
I'm about to cry my lashes off, child.
I'm so sorry that we have to say good night to Sandy and Mark,

She's gonna play in the Bonus Game

Come on back. Let's see what Falawna can win tonight!
Don't go anywhere.

You got this, girl!

Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
The first time Falawna was on our show,
she took it on the chin from the Whammy
while we all watched on in horror.
But tonight, it's about to change all that.
So far, you have won prizes worth $5,499.
That's a digital camera.
But that digital camera got you to the Bonus Game.
And now it's just you versus this Big Board, Falawna.
And you could go home a millionaire tonight!
Whoo! Jesus!
Come on!
How does it feel to be back on the "Press Your Luck" stage?
It feels unreal.
I really just wanted to have fun,
and it just seems like when I came here with no expectations
but to have fun, this was the blessing in return.
So I'm so glad. Yes. I love it.
The audience is totally behind you, Falawna.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I see you have other people behind you, as well.
Who do you have supporting you tonight?
Oh, my gosh.
I have my rock, my friend, my superwoman.
Oh, my God. You gonna make me start crying, girl. Stop.

Hi, Mom.
You got a pretty special daughter up here.
She's amazing.
I just wish the best for her

with helping me raise my kids.
And I thank you so much for being here, friend.
Thank you.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Let's get to it, shall we? Okay.
Whoo! You're gonna face off against the Whammy
over five rounds.
At the end of each round, you can walk away
with whatever cash and prizes are in the bank,
or you can stay, press your luck, and 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,
one spin could be worth $100,000.
Whoo!
But there are still Whammies out there.
If you hit a Whammy, he takes all the money,
all the cash prizes, everything,
sends your bank right back down to zero.
Four Whammies, you're out of the game altogether.
If your bank in the Bonus Game ever reaches $500,000,
the game is over, no more spinning
'cause you are going home a millionaire.
Whoo!
All right, in this first round, Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
But everybody knows, here at "Press Your Luck,"
there's always more than just cash up on the board.
We picked out prizes just for you.
And here's the first one.
It's Costco!
Whoo! Whoo!
This is gold-star membership for 50 years,
along with a Costco shopping spree
to get you started.
Girl, I go to Costco like twice a week.
I just, I mean... [ Laughter ]
You know, these kids, I spend so much money
on food and groceries and things,
and I got a big snacker in my youngest one, Lord Jesus.
Let's do it. Let's put the Costco shopping spree
and the membership up on the board.
There it is. Ahh!
I feel like that one's for the family.
Yeah. So I wanted to put one on
that's just for you.
Show her.
Eyebrows!
Ahh! Yeah!
We're gonna set you up with eyebrow transplants.
Oh, my God! Yes!
I heard this is something that you have
been looking forward to.
Oh, my God. Okay, now, you guys all know,
whoever grew up in the '90s,
when you over-pluck your eyebrows,
you got that thin line, and now that hair's
not even trying to grow back, honey.
And I want some eyebrows 'cause it frames your face.
So, oh, my gosh. Yes.
Eyebrows! She wants some eyebrows.
Put them up on the board.
All right. Let's get to the game.
You're starting this round off with five spins.
Okay. Falawna, let's start winning.
Whoo! Okay.
I know I want some eyebrows.
I'm playing for that Costco run.
Come on, big bucks, big bucks.
And stop!
$2,500 in the bank. Okay, I'll take it.
Boom. Okay.
Do it again. All right.
All right, come on, Costco run.
Or $10,000. $10,000.
I'll take a Costco run.
Give me that big money.
And stop!
$3,000. Okay.
Yes!
Come on, somebody.
Three more. Three. Okay.
No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies.
I need some Costco!
And stop!
Whoo! Yeah! Big Bucks!
Come on, somebody!
You better! Whoo!
$10,000.
Oh! Two more.
All right, let's keep it going, girl.
All right. Big bucks, big bucks.
Come on, Costco or $10,000.
Costco or $10,000.
No Whammies.
And stop!
Oh, it's a decision.
You can have an electric surfboard or $3,000 and a spin.
What do you think?
I'm gonna go with the electric surfboard.
Electric surfboard.
I mean, it looks fun. It looks fun.
How much is it worth, though?
$9,345. All right. It was close.
It was close.
Good decision. Yeah.
Whoo! All right, one more spin in this round.
Yeah. One more spin.
Okay. Give me my eyebrows.
No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies.
Costco.

All right.
I have heard
that you are doing amazing things through your church.
Tell the audience a little bit about what this is.
Oh, man. So the Freedom Center
is a place for women who have experienced
human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
And this Freedom Center,
it's gonna help them get on their feet,
it's gonna help them have 24-hour care.
And, man, this would be a blessing to those women.
Ohh! We know that you need beds,
computers, washer, dryer,
refrigerator, toiletries,
supplies. Everything.
Everything that you need to get up and running
at the Freedom Center.
We're gonna put it on the board for you tonight.
Oh, I hope you get that Freedom Center.
It's Round 2. The Big Bucks are worth $25,000.
