It's another stunning evening here
as we gear up for television's most exciting night.
And I can say, in my professional opinion,
this is the best yet.
I agree, Joe.
It's just like they say.
The fourth time's the charm.
Third. Third time's the charm.
They say third time's the charm.
No, I don't think so.
That's not enough times to find the charm.
You need at least four -- at least.
You're simply wrong.
Here's how it works.
Round 1, 8 golfers who are gonna face off.
The winners are gonna compete in that sudden-death Round 2.
That's where only the very best
will survive into the final round,
where you go for The Golden Putter,
the coveted Holey Moley plaid jacket,
and, most importantly, a spot in the season finale,
where one of our champions will make a putt
worth a quarter million dollars.
Ooh-whoo!
Let's kick things off with a brand-new hole.
It is time for a trip to the circus.
It is the hole we call Trap-Tee-Ze.
Our golfers putt off a ramp
and launch their ball through the air down to the green below,
then they have to try to make it to the green
traveling from trapeze to trapeze
with the help of a big dummy.
But if they don't, if they fall into that cold water below,
it's gonna be a stroke penalty.
Joe, is that a real person?
It's a dummy.
Who is that dummy?
That looks like an idiot.
Look how ugly his pants are. Ha!
It's actually you. Huh?
Uh, it's modeled after you.
[ Gasps ]
Joe, look!
I'm a trapeze artist. You are.
[ Cheering ]
Hey, here's our first-ever matchup on the Trap-Tee-Ze.
Nick Andrews is from Montana.
Stephanie Boucree is from California.
Hi. My name is Stephanie Boucree.
I'm 39 years old, and I'm the Golf Tiger Mom.
[ Tiger growls ]
I am such a tiger mom.
Sometimes my son can't come in for dinner
until he makes all of his putts.
I'm crazy about golf. My whole life is about golf.
My husband and I got married at a golf course.
I have a putting green in my backyard.
I sell golf simulators for a living.
We eat, sleep, breathe golf.
I've trained my whole life for this moment.
Hello. I'm Nick Andrews.
I'm 31, and I'm the Cosmic Cowboy of "Holey Moley."
Yee-haw! From the wheated plains of Montana
to the farthest reaches of outer space,
my mini golf game is out of this world.
The Cosmic thrive off the night sky.
The stars give me energy. The moon gives me energy.
In fact, I call my stroke the Silky Way,
'cause it's smooth as silk...
Whoo!
...and always finds its way.
Stephanie: Alright, alright. Got this.
The tee shot on the Trap-Tee-Ze for Stephanie.
Golf Tiger Mom! [ Tiger growls ]
Has to make this or she goes to the dreaded drop zone.

Nick: There it is. This looks good.
-Nice trajectory. -Hell of a shot.
-There it is. -Off the back ramp.
Onto the green.
Stephanie: Aah! Oh!
Ohh! Ohh!
Into the water.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, she gave it too much.
Tee shot for Nick Andrews.
Come on, Cowboy.
It's just a yee, and it's just a haw.
[ Crowd cheering ]
Nick Andrews. This could be good. This could be good.
Back ramp. Ohh! Ohh!
Settles in near the ridge on the right.
Okay, okay. That's the way to do it.
With that, he has good position on the green.
Stephanie Boucree will be first up on the trapeze.
Remember, you go from one trapeze to the big dummy.
You're pretty gratuitous with the word "dummy."
Says it right here. It says "Riggle Dummy."
Let's call him a smarty. It's not what it is.
Arms straight. Shoulders back.
Got to stay dry, Stephanie.
Wait, wait. And then -- Wait, timing?
You're gonna tell me? Here we go. Ride of a lifetime.
Wait, wait, when you say "hop," that's when I hop.
Man: Ready! Hop!
Aah!
Ohh!
Oh, Stephanie. Stephanie.
What I love, she was talking to the guys
up at the top of the trapeze,
going, "Now, when you say 'hop,' that's when I hop."
Wait, wait, when you say "hop," that's when I hop.
She was very concerned about all the business.
Hop! Riggle: And then, of course,
I think they forgot to tell her to hang on.
Aah!
Ohh.
Oh, that's got to sting.
Alright.
And now it's the Cosmic Cowboy's turn to launch.
This one's real. Here we go.
-Ready! Hop! -That means go!
That means go!
Cowboy reaches out.
Oh! I thought he had the Dummy Riggle arms!
He had it. Yeah!
Is it the dummy's fault?
I don't think the dummy was making much of an effort.
Stephanie Boucree's ball went into the water.
She'll be putting from the drop zone.
Both picked up the stroke penalty.
They both lie 2.
Look at those shoes!
Whoa!
Those are lighting, pulsating soles.
Wow!
I don't if you can see this or not, Joe.
Let me see. What do you got?
Oh. That's -- Are those custom?
Yeah, you better believe they're custom.
That says "Holey Moley." HM.
Must have been -- Expensive. Yeah.
What stuns me is that we never see your shoes.
[ Record scratch ]
That's a good point.
Stephanie -- she spends her life involved in golf.
[ Crowd shouts ] Stephanie: Oh, God.
Tessitore: She runs it well past the back ramp. Ugh.
She's still gonna have a lot of work to do from there.
Nick Andrews, the Cosmic Cowboy, for the win.
[ Crowd shouts ]
-Hey! -There he goes!
Good job.
Nick Andrews is on to round number 2.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
The Cosmic Cowboy --
He's our first-ever winner on the Trap-Tee-Ze.
Whoo!
What a fun hole that was.
Not many people get to grab onto, uh --
The Dummy Riggle.
They did a beautiful job of replicating you,
though, didn't they?
It's weird. It's like I'm watching me out there,
wondering, how am I out there and also sitting next to you?
More "Holey Moley" after the break.
And now, Rob Riggle's attempt to save "Holey Moley."
I think I know what we need to save "Holey Moley."
Oh, yeah? The most insane final putt ever.
But what's the putt? Mm.
Fozzie, you got anything?
Oh, oh, yeah.
"Bear" with me while I try and find it.
[ Chuckles ]
'Cause I'm a bear? I got it.
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
"Contestants have to get their balls
across the driving range
while I throw big, slimy fish at them,
and if they get hit in the head, they'll get a 'haddock.'"
Ahh, get it? Haddock?
Yeah.
Then they have to paddle across the Atlantic Ocean,
catch a salmon along the way,
and putt the ball into its mouth.
And here's the best part.
It's called -- wait for it --
"Smells Fishy."
Are you joking? I'm really trying.
How do you putt a ball into a fish's mouth
in the middle of the Atlantic?
Good question.
No, no, no. Stop looking at that.
That's not gonna help you.
Maybe if we ordered dinner before we do any more pitches.
I'm always funnier after some lasagna.
No carbs until I get my $250,000 idea!
Just a little bit?
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley,"
as Round 1 action continues.
Last year we found out that America loves
giant kernels of corn exploding in golfers' faces.
It's back -- Corn Hole. Whoo-hoo!
What a great match-up this could be.
Kansas City's David Taylor
against Montana's Kasey Nicholson.
Hello, everybody. My name is Kasey Nicholson.
I am from Fort Belknap Indian Community,
and they call me Crazy Kasey.
What makes me a good putter is the ultimate focus.
[ Plays flute ]
I like to play my flute because it calms me.
[ Crowd groans ]
It's crazy how stressed I get.
Ahh!
But when I put that flute to my mouth
and I start playing...
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
...oh, my gosh, my spirit calms down.
Yeah! Whoo!
Hi. I'm David Taylor.
I'm 42 years old,
and I'm known as the Lederhosen Golfer.
I love the Bavarian style of Schuhplattler
'cause of the gemuetlichkeit.
[ Laughing ] No, that's the funny part.
I married into a German family. I'm more Irish than anything.
Miniature golf has always had
a very special place in my life.
I had the distinct pleasure of serving
in the United States Navy.
So for all the Bavarian dancers serving in the Navy,
I wanna win this for you.
The Lederhosen Golfer. Riggle: Huh.
This tee shot's a very narrow passage,
and then there is a bank that's in play.
[ Crowd shouts ]
Oh, nice. Off the ricochet.
There is the bank. Ohh!
And it wraps right around the hole.
[ Microwave beeping ] Here comes the run.
David has about three seconds
to get past the giant ear of corn.
[ Ding! ]
Go, go!
Ohh! Terrible.
Just terrible.
He stumbled against the ear of corn
and lost his balance.
And he was going down before -- look at that.
He's in the pit before it even exploded.
I didn't calculate for the width that I had.
Nobody needs excuses, David.
Save it for your mama.
Tee shot for Kasey Nicholson.
Ohh, that's a lot of pepper in the gumbo.
Ohh!
Ah!
Oh! Hit the cup and reversed course.
Super close. [ Microwave beeping ]

You have to get a good start on Corn Hole.
The intensity on his face is fantastic.
That's a man who is focused.
Focused. [Echoing] Focused.
Kasey: The ultimate focus.

[ Ding! ] Here he goes. Here he goes!
Oh, oh, oh! And he...
He made it! Wow!
He made it! Yeah! Whoo!
Ohh! The cartwheel celebration.
Yeah!
Look at this.
I love how he finishes here.
He leans in. Ohh.
See that lean in right there? Yes.
With that lean in,
your body is able to withstand the blow.
Yeah!
That right there -- that's a poster.
He may want to get an oil of that.
I think that's an oil.
I might want that on the side of my van.
Beautiful. That would look great on your van.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Remember, he didn't get the stroke penalty.
This is for the win.
[ Crowd chanting "Kasey!" ]
Can Kasey Nicholson close out
a near-flawless run on Corn Hole?
Here we go.
[ Crowd shouts ]
Ohh! He does it!
He did it! Kasey Nicholson.
-Ooh. -Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
What a clutch putt that was!
He's doing a -- looks like a Native American
celebratory dance.
Kasey Nicholson is off to round number 2
on "Holey Moley."
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo!
Alright, everybody, it is time for our next Round 1 hole,
and here's Stephen Curry to tell us all about it.
Curry: It's Donut Hole time,
so allow me to sprinkle some knowledge on you.
Golfers start by teeing off down the long, curved ramp,
past the colored sprinkles, and onto the green below.
Then, golfers must jump
from one giant, swinging donut to another,
but if they fall into the sprinkles below,
it'll cost them a penalty stroke,
and that's Donut Hole.
It's a-dough-rable. ["adorable"]
"A-dough-rable"? Really?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go! Let's go! The king is here!
The king is here?
I didn't hear any trumpets. I didn't hear anything.

Jaime Jacob is 22 years old.
They're both pro golfers.
Hey, how you doing? My name's Gabriel Cruz.
Whoo!
But I'm a pro golfer from Los Angeles, California.
Yeah, you know what the deal is, boy!
I've been grinding away since the age of 9.
I've been hustling every day,
and that's how I got to be a pro golfer.
Can't stop, won't stop! Let's go!
Oh! Ooh, I almost fell.
I'm definitely ready for "Holey Moley."
I just don't know if "Holey Moley" is ready for me.
Hey, what's up, guys? My name's Jaime Jacob.
I'm from Encinitas, California,
and I've been playing professional golf
for a couple months now.
So, the strangest thing that's ever happened to me golfing --
I actually hit a bird mid-air.
[ Wings flapping, thud ]
Sorry, little birdie. [ Laughs ]
[ Horror music plays ]
Oh. [ Laughs ]
Hopefully that's not the bird.
It would come back and kill me.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Jaime Jacob --
she won the Division II national championship
and then decided to turn pro last November.
Oh, come on, baby.
Oh! Oh, that hit that green sprinkle.
Oh!
Her ball runs behind the ridge.
Oh, no!
Oh, what a tough break for Jaime.
But now she needs to launch
from swinging donut to swinging donut.
It says here, Joe,
Jaime's never broken a bone.
But I think here at "Holey Moley,"
we could make miracles happen for ya.
Well, we don't want -- we don't see that to Jaime.
Show me something! Let's go!
Break a leg, Jaime! No, don't -- don't.
Nobody needs -- no. Huh? That's encouragement.
Ahh!
And now, Rob Riggle's attempt,
again, to save "Holey Moley."
Alright, gang. Thanks for helping me out.
It's obvious I got the A-team, alright?
But we need a show-saving finale,
a number that's so good, ABC would be cuckoo bananas
not to renew "Holey Moley" right then and there.
Bananas!
Yes! Yes.
I love that enthusiasm, Animal.
Now, who's got a big finale idea?
Oh! Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bananas.
Fantastic. Let's hear from somebody else.
What do you got, Camilla?
Ooh, uh, bawk-bawk-bawk, bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk,

Yeah. Why not? [ Laughs ]
Chef, talk to me.

-Bananas! -Bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk!
-Bana-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. -[ Speaking mock Swedish ]

Don't worry about it, guys. We'll come up with something.
-Okey-dokey. -Bawk-bawk-bawk.
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."
While you were away, Jaime couldn't conquer the donuts,
but did manage to keep all her bones unbroken.
Gabriel got close with his putt...
Oh, it was rigged!
...but also took a dive in the sprinkles.
Riggle: That was quick.
And Jaime showed us why she's a national champ.
[ Crowd shouts ]
Well played!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Gabriel couldn't match.
Go, "Holey Moley"! Number 1!
Jaime Jacob, off to round number 2,
and she's one step closer to her dream
of that Golden Putter, the plaid jacket,
and a chance at a quarter million.
It's time for our final hole in Round 1.
Here's Jeannie Mai to tell us how it works.
Holy smokes, folks, it's Dutch Courage En Fuego!
First, our golfers putt through not one,
but two windmills on fire.
Once their ball makes it through,
our golfers must time their run to get to the green.
If they take a hit into the H2O below,
they will receive a penalty stroke.
Thanks, Jeannie.

More "Holey Moley" right here on ABC.
Good job, Joe. Oh, thank you, Rob.
That was nice.
And now Rob Riggle's increasingly desperate plan
to save "Holey Moley."
[ Seedy music playing ]
Psst.
Hey [Stammers] just listen. Hm.
I could use another set of hands on something.
Hmm. I know an octopus.
No, not an octopus.
I need someone with your skills
to help "Holey Moley" get picked up.
Sí. Sí. You need the grease.
Yes, yes. [ Chuckles ]
I need you to do whatever it takes to save "Holey Moley."
Whatever it takes.
Sí. What it takes.
Good, and if you tell anyone we talked about this,
I always love me a good shrimp cocktail.
Oh, really?
I love plankton soup. We should have dinner.
What? No. No.
Just don't tell anybody we talked, okay?
Okay, okay, okay.
Psst. Psst.
What?
Just what?
Come on, buy me dinner.
[ Sighs ] Come on, it's gonna be great.
Okay, alright, alright. Just --
Fine, come on.
[ Laughs ]
Tessitore: Welcome back.
The "Holey Moley" course,

[ Crowd cheering ]
Let's head over to our next brand-new hole this season.
It is time for Full Mooney,
and we have got a hot one tonight.
You have to putt it over the ramp, across the water,
to the moon-landing-themed green,
then they have to get up on that orbiting moon
and try to make it across the water.
And if you go into the drink, it's a stroke penalty.
Okay, we are ready to go.
It's our final Round 2 matchup.
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!
It's the Cosmic Cowboy, Nick Andrews,
taking on Crazy Kasey Nicholson.
Yep.
Nick Andrews, the Cosmic Cowboy.
Says he wants to buy his wife a new car
and a house with the winnings.
That is the right answer.
Tee shot for Nick Andrews.
Let's see if it plays off the backstop.
It does. Catches the ridge.
And it accelerates.
That is an extremely difficult position on the green.
That is almost in the next galaxy.
A huge moment in history --
the first mini golfer to ever set foot on the moon.
[ Beep, radio chatter ]
Nick: That feels good.
I love the moon.
Yee-haw!
Man: We're stand by.
[ Beep ]
3, 2, 1, 0.
First couple steps look okay.
Ohh!
We have splashdown.
[ Beep ]
Look at this, that little hop step.
That little hop step, that's what threw him off.
Oh! It's like he forgot how to run.
He was left, right, left, right, left, left, left, right.
Oh! That's not good.
Here we go. Whoo.
I think Kasey understands the gravity of this situation.
Kasey also moonlights as a comedian.
His tee shot launches very far,
so it catches the backstop.
And then it goes into the hazard.
My policy, Joe, has always been shoot for the moon.
You're really going with the moon themes all hole long,
aren't you? Yeah.
Even if you miss, you're gonna land on the stars, right?
Huh, Joe?
Kasey Nicholson, you know the deal.
Have to stay out of the water to avoid the stroke penalty.
Ooh. [ Beep ]
3, 2, 1, 0.
Nicholson.
Oh, he goes start, stop, start, stop.
I like how he's staying on top, Joe.
Easy. Easy. Easy.
Oh, then he goes sideways!
Oh, he dives for it! Does he make it?
Oh, he jumps for it!
How about that! Yeah!
Wow! Kasey Nicholson!
Yeah! Yeah!
That was a big "Holey Moley" moment, Joe!
He knew he was losing it, so he said,
"Instead of going for the water, I'm gonna go for it,"
and he pulled it off.
Well done, sir. That was impressive.
The lunge -- I love it -- at the end.
Wow. Nailed it!
Nick: Got a lunar surface to go over here.
Nick Andrews doesn't really have much of an option here.
Let's see it. Let's see. It's happening!
Ooh!
Wow.
I'll take it.
He sits 3 from there.
Remember, he has the stroke penalty.
Kasey Nicholson from the moon dust for the win.
Alright.
He has two putts.
Ohh.
Aah!
The speed was way off.
Way off.
That is one small putt for man.
[ Sighs ] Okay.
We got to make this. [ Flute plays ]
Can Kasey become a star here at "Holey Moley" tonight?
Hit this putt, and he will be playing for a championship.
♪♪
And he sinks it. There it is!
Whoo! Whoo!
Yeah!
Put a little sauce on that win, huh, Kasey?
Kasey Nicholson's gonna play for the plaid jacket
and The Golden Putter.
I'm over the moon about that putt. Mm-hmm.
See what I did?
I saw what you did. I heard it.
I expected it, and there it was.
Well, you're welcome.
I don't remember thank--
Well, we'll just move on.
The "Holey Moley" final hole when we come back.
Tessitore: We welcome you back to the final round of "Holey Moley."
And up for grabs tonight, of course,
it's the plaid jacket, The Golden Putter,
and that much-desired chance at a quarter million dollars.
What better place to battle it out
than on another brand-new hole?
We are revealing the glitz and the glamour
of Holeywood.
And on Holeywood tonight, it's Jaime Jacob,
a 22-year-old from California,
against Kasey Nicholson, the 42-year-old from Montana.
Golfers on this hole run down the Holeywood Walk of Fame
and launch themselves onto one of the stars.
Whichever star they land on
determines their ball position on the green.
If they miss the stars completely
and wind up in the water,
they'll be putting from the drop zone.
And here they come.
Riggle: Looking sharp.
One of these two competitors is going to be a champion.
Joe, I'm very upset by the star placement.
This seems way out of whack.
You get a star.
Yeah.
Stephen gets a star.
Stephen's the best star that you can have.
Jeannie gets a star.
Well, Jeannie is a star.
Sir Goph gets a star?
He's the primary mascot of the entire show.
I want a star, Joe.
People tune in to -- I want a star.
Because you're -- the expectation for you -- I want a star.
That you make everyb-- Star.
[ Crowd cheering ]
Let's go. Let's go.
Jaime Jacob, 22-year-old pro golfer.
Has been on the Cactus Tour,
but has she ever faced something like this --
a red carpet accelerator,
having to launch herself
to try to get the best possible position?
How far can she go?
[ Air horn blows ]
Oh!
Down the red carpet.
Aah!
Launched to the Jeannie Mai star!
Wow!
That was impressive, wasn't it?
The fact that she was able to stop herself
was very impressive.
She did it long jump-style.
Slammo!
Okay.
Oh, isn't that a gentleman of Course Marshal Joe?
Thank you.
Think people are very taken by Course Marshal Joe?
I mean, that style of hat is selling out coast to coast.
He's the number-one Halloween costume this year.
[ Crowd cheering ]
Boy, Kasey Nicholson is really enjoying the moment in the tux.
Whoo!
He's got a thousand-watt smile.
He knows how to work the red carpet.
Whoo-hoo!
[ Air horn blows ]
Here we go!
Kasey, what do you have here?
How far can you go?
Oh! Wow.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoa! Face-planted onto that second star.
I made it!
Watch his face on the Jeannie Mai star.
Boom! I'm hungry for a star!
It looked like his face actually ricocheted off.
Look at that.
That looks vicious.
Yeah, he's gonna feel that tomorrow.
Man! Yikes.
Now we've got a real battle here,
because they will both have the same ball position
for their tee shot.
They both landed on the Jeannie Mai star.
There is a hump right in the middle of that long red carpet.
Oh, it got a big pop. Big pop.
Caught pieces of three ridges
and settles in right near the ramp.
Okay. Okay.
[ Crowd cheering ]
Let's put on a show.
Kasey Nicholson from Montana.
It pops up a lot. Here's the next ridge.
And then there's another ridge to deal with. Oh, no.
But he's in a far worse position.
It's okay.
It's not okay.
It's okay.
It is not okay, Kasey. It's not, sir.
Jaime Jacob.
Stakes can't be higher than this.
This is for a chance to keep the dream alive.
Wow. That is an outstanding putt. Wow.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And she's one step closer to her chance at a quarter million.
That was a good putt.
So Jaime cards a 2.
The pressure now shifts to Kasey.
Oh, yeah.
[ Flute plays ] Alright.
I mean, it's just --
It's just -- Want to go in your hole?
Very, very challenging putt.
Got this!
Must make.
And he doesn't.
[ Crowd groans ]
Whoo!
Yes! Yes!
She did it!
Whoo! Let's go!
The 22-year-old is tonight's "Holey Moley" champion.
Let's go! Number one!
It is that moment that every mini golfer looks forward to,
as we will get to Stephen Curry.
Congratulations. Welcome to the clubhouse.
Wow, thank you. Where's Steph?
Eh.
He's not there right now for the plaid jacket ceremony,
but Course Marshal Joe there
to hand out that coveted plaid jacket
and The Golden Putter.
Wow. Thank you so much.
Well done.
I'm so proud. Very proud.
Thank you so much. Come on in.
Group photo.
What an inspiring night of extreme mini golf.
We're gonna see you next time right here on "Holey Moley."
