Alyse zavala: Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
Announcer: Please welcome the ceo
Of singing for dough, niecy nash.
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: Welcome to "don't forget the lyrics".
The game is like karaoke plus $1 million,
And minus the tequila shots.
(audience laughing)
Well, at least while the camera is rolling.
And here is the only thing that gets the party started
Better than tequila, it's ricky and the band.
(rock and roll music)
Are you guys ready to meet our first rockstar?
Audience: Yes!
Niecy nash: She's a professional computer hacker
Trying to crack the code on a million bucks.
From cary, north carolina, give it up for alyse zavala.
Alyse zavala: Whoo!
(upbeat music)
Hello.
Niecy nash: Welcome.
You are one cute computer hacker.
Alyse zavala: Oh, thank you.
Niecy nash: Tell us a little bit more about yourself.
Alyse zavala: I have a pretty cool job.
I get to break into systems,
And accounts, and buildings for a living.
I also test the cyber defense team
To see if they can catch me.
'cause if they can't catch me,
How are they going to catch the real bad guys?
Right, yeah? (audience cheering)
I will say, little known fact,
The industry term for a computer hacker
Is lead penetration tester.
(audience laughing)
Niecy nash: Yep. Yep, why not?
Alyse zavala: When I told my grandma
That I got promoted to lead penetration tester,
She was like, "lyse I thought you did computers."
And I was like, "I do, I do.
I swear I didn't switch industries, grandma." you know?
Niecy nash: Well, I love that your grandmother
Is so spicy that she thought it meant something else.
Alyse zavala: Oh, man.
Niecy nash: All right.
Well, let's try and see if we can get you some money.
Alyse zavala: Let's do it. (audience applauding)
Niecy nash: If you give me the correct missing lyrics
To 10 songs, alyse, I'm going to give you $1 million.
Alyse zavala: Let's go!
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at tonight's categories.
Funk, stadium anthems, number one hits, pop,
Karaoke classics, latin hits, 2000s,
Janet jackson, and southern rock.
Alyse zavala: Whoo.
Niecy nash: Now, which category would you like to start with first?
Alyse zavala: Whew. Man, I've always loved the pop genre.
So we're going to start with pop.
Niecy nash: All right.
I'm going to show you two songs to choose from.
Alyse zavala: Ok.
Niecy nash: "heart of glass" by blondie,
Or "what makes you beautiful" by one direction.
Alyse zavala: Ooh.
So, I will say that both of these songs really scare me.
All right. "what makes you beautiful", one direction.
Let's do it. (audience applauding)
Niecy nash: Yeah? All right.
For this song, I'm going to need three missing words.
And we will begin before the first chorus.
Alyse zavala: Let's do it.
Niecy nash: Ricky, let's do it.
(upbeat music)
♪ if only you saw what I can see ♪
♪ you'll understand why I want you so desperately ♪
♪ right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe ♪
♪ you don't know
you're beautiful ♪
(audience cheering and applauding)
It feels good. It feels good.
All right.
Niecy nash: One direction said,
"right now I'm looking at you and" you said,
"I can't believe."
Feeling good about it?
Alyse zavala: You know, my grandma always told me
To trust my gut, so I would like to lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in these lyrics, alyse.
If you are correct, the entire line will turn green.
If any word is wrong, it will turn red and the game is over.
Alyse zavala: And then I'm gone and...
And I'll see you online. Ok.
Niecy nash: All right.
So, for $2,500, is it, "I can't believe"?
Alyse zavala: Yes, it is! Let's go!
(audience cheering) (drum roll beats)
Ahh!
(triumphant music)
Whoo! Yes! All right. Niecy nash: All right.
Alyse zavala: All right.
Niecy nash: You followed your gut,
And you have $2,500.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Alyse zavala: Feels good. Niecy nash: Yeah.
Alyse zavala: All right.
Niecy nash: Let's try to double that money right now.
The next song is worth $5,000.
(audience cheering)
Alyse, which category is going to get you $5,000?
Alyse zavala: Ok. Let's go with 2000s.
Niecy nash: All right. (alyse giggles)
Well, let's take a look at your two song choices.
"beverly hills" by weezer,
Or "I'm like a bird" by nelly furtado.
Alyse zavala: So "beverly hills", I mean, I...
I got a little bit of rock chick in me.
I don't know if you can tell, you know.
Niecy nash: I would have never guessed.
(alyse laughs)
Alyse zavala: I love, I love weezer.
Let's do "beverly hills".
Niecy nash: All right.
I'm going to need four missing words.
Alyse zavala: Ok. Niecy nash: Ready to rock?
Alyse zavala: Ready to rock. Let's go!
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Let's rock.
(rock and roll music)
♪ beverly hills
♪ that's where I want to be
♪ gimme gimme gimme gimme
♪ livin' in beverly hills
♪ beverly hills
♪ something something sweet symphony ♪
Oh! (laughs)
Niecy nash: So, weezer said... Alyse zavala: Oh, man.
Niecy nash: "living in beverly hills, beverly hills."
You said something, "something something sweet symphony."
(alyse laughs)
Let's just take this a little slow. Ok.
You have backups.
Your first backup is the singer you brought with you.
Who did you bring with you today?
Alyse zavala: So, I brought
My really good friend, hugh swaso.
(audience cheering)
He's actually my personal trainer.
Look at those guns, you know. (laughing)
Niecy nash: Well, you're menacing trainer over there
Can help you out with one answer, but only for one song.
Or, you have three words.
If at any time you're unsure about a word,
Just tell us which one it is,
And we will reveal the correct answer.
Now you can use all three of them at once.
Or you can spread them out throughout the game.
Would you like to use one of your backups?
Alyse zavala: I think I'm going to use a word.
Niecy nash: Ok. Which word do you want us to reveal?
Alyse zavala: Word number four.
Celebrity, oh.
Niecy nash: Did that make it a little easier for you?
♪ rolling like a celebrity
Alyse zavala: Ah, man.
Niecy nash: What you just said was,
"rolling like a celebrity."
Would you just like to see the line?
Alyse zavala: Yeah. Let's see what it looks like.
Niecy nash: Ok.
♪ rollin' like a celebrity
Alyse zavala: I mean, I'm not sure about "rollin'."
But I think "like a celebrity" makes sense for the line.
Ok, I would like to use a second word... Niecy nash: Ok.
Alyse zavala: ..On my first word option.
(audience cheering)
Whoo! Hey!
Trust your gut. That's what she told me.
Ok, all right.
♪ rollin' like a celebrity
That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
Niecy nash: Well, do you want to lock in those lyrics?
Alyse zavala: Ooh.
Niecy, let's lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right.
Alyse, you locked in those lyrics.
For $5,000, is it "rollin' like a celebrity"?
(drum roll beats)
Alyse zavala: Oh.
(drum roll continues)
(triumphant music)
(audience cheering and applauding)
Whoo!
Niecy nash: You got it.
Alyse zavala: All right.
Niecy nash: That's $5,000.
Alyse zavala: Thank you.
Niecy nash: Oh, yeah. Alyse zavala: Oh, man.
Niecy nash: So, let's try to double your money again.
This time, you're playing for $10,000.
(audience cheering and applauding) alyse zavala: Whoo!
Niecy nash: All right, let's pick your next category.
What is jumping out to you now?
Alyse zavala: I think I'm going to go with karaoke classics,
'cause I love karaoke.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look and see
What your two song choices are.
"rapper's delight" by sugarhill gang,
Or "semi-charmed life" by third eye blind.
Alyse zavala: I mean, I feel like I know third eye blind.
Hmm. Let's, let's do "semi-charmed life".
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: So what I want to tell you
Is that I'm going to be looking
For four missing words.
Alyse zavala: All right.
Niecy nash: We're going to start the song
At the first chorus.
Alyse zavala: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, she's ready.
(rock and roll music)
Hey!
♪ I want something else
♪ to get me through this
♪ semi-charmed kind of life
♪ baby baby I want something else ♪
♪ I'm not listening when you say ♪
♪ goodbye
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: All right. Let's take a look.
Third eye blind said,
"I want something else. I'm not listening."
You said, "when you say goodbye."
Alyse zavala: Yes.
Niecy nash: How you feeling about it?
Alyse zavala: I really, really love this song.
And I'm really, really. I'm confident about this.
So, let's lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics.
For $10,000, is it "when you say goodbye?"
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (audience cheering)
Alyse zavala: Yeah! Ha-ha, yes!
Niecy nash: All right. Alyse zavala: Whoo!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Alyse has the chance to lock in $25,000
When we come back on "don't forget the lyrics".
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
So far, alyse has knocked down three songs
Using her gut instinct, and banked $10,000.
Alyse zavala: Whoo!
Hugh swaso: Yes!
Niecy nash: But now the game is about to get harder.
(tense music)
There are six categories left.
She still has her backup singer,
And one word if she needs them.
The next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed,
No matter what happens in the show.
(audience cheering)
So, talk to me, my beautiful hacker.
What would you do with $25,000?
Alyse zavala: I actually like to mentor a lot of younger children
To try to get into cybersecurity.
A lot of people don't really know,
Believe it or not, how to become a hacker.
And a lot of those certifications,
They cost like $8,000 or more.
And so I like to set up capture the flag competitions,
And teach them how to hack.
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's see if we can get you the money to fulfil that dream.
Which category is going to get you that 25 grand?
Alyse zavala: I think we should go ahead,
And go for stadium anthems,
And hope that I get to beat out to this song.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Alyse zavala: Wow. Niecy nash: "celebration" by kool & the gang,
Or "sweet caroline" by neil diamond.
Alyse zavala: Ok. All right, all right.
I would like to choose "celebration".
Niecy nash: All right.
This is for $25,000 guaranteed money.
Alyse zavala: Ok.
Niecy nash: I'm going to need seven missing words.
Alyse zavala: Ok. Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Alyse zavala: I'm going to try it. Let's go.
Niecy nash: Let's go, ricky!
(upbeat funky music)
♪ whoo hoo
♪ celebration
♪ let's all celebrate and have a good time ♪
♪ celebration
♪ we going to celebrate and have a good time ♪
♪ it's time to come together
♪ it's up to you what's your pleasure ♪
♪ everyone around the world come on ♪
(audience applauding) (alyse laughing)
Whoo!
Niecy nash: I don't know if your lyrics are correct
But your enthusiasm is on point.
Alyse zavala: Yay! Niecy nash: All right.
Kool & the gang said, "it's time to come together."
You said, "it's up to you. What's your pleasure?"
How are you feeling about this answer?
Alyse zavala: Hmm.
I think I should trust my gut.
Let's lock in those lyrics!
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics, alyse.
Alyse zavala: Whoo!
Niecy nash: For $25,000, guaranteed, is it,
"it's up to you. What's your pleasure?"
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (audience cheering and applauding)
Alyse zavala: Yes! Yes! Yes!
Niecy nash: You did it! Alyse zavala: God!
Niecy nash: Girlfriend, you got $25,000.
Alyse zavala: Whoo!
Niecy nash: That is yours, no matter what happens in the show.
How do you feel right now?
Alyse zavala: I feel so good. Ah, I feel so good.
Niecy nash: Ok.
$1 million is still on the table.
Now, we're going to try to double your money again to $50,000.
Alyse zavala: Whoo!
Niecy nash: Which category
Is going to get you the big money?
Alyse zavala: I think we should go with southern rock.
Hugh swaso: Yes! Yes!
Niecy nash: Here are your two song choices.
"gimme three steps", lynyrd skynyrd,
Or "sharp dressed man" by zz top.
Alyse zavala: Oh, man.
I think since hugh is so lovely dressed tonight.
(audience cheering) yeah, yeah.
I think we should give him "sharp dressed man", zz top.
(audience cheering and applauding)
(laughing)
Niecy nash: For this song, I'm going to need
Seven missing words.
Alyse zavala: Ready to rock. Let's go.
Niecy nash: Let's go, ricky.

I definitely, definitely want to bring hugh up here, for sure.
Niecy nash: Hugh, come on up.
(audience applauding)
Alyse zavala: He's going to make me
Do pushups later for this.
(hugh sighs)
Niecy nash: Ok, hugh.
I was going to ask you
How you're feeling about what's up here, but
There's nothing up there.
Hugh swaso: There's nothing up there.
Niecy nash: Is there anything you'd like to see up there?
Hugh swaso: Some words. (laughing)
Niecy nash: Well, maybe we could do this.
If you guys sing it together, maybe something will come.
You want to try to rock out together?
Hugh swaso: We shall.
Niecy nash: All right. Ricky, let's do it.

You said, "see you, I want to pull you in."
(audience cheering)
Alyse zavala: Sounds good. It sounds good.
Hugh swaso: Sounds good.
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about this, hugh?
Hugh swaso: I feel fairly confident,
More confident than I was earlier.
But I think a little assistance wouldn't hurt.
Alyse zavala: I mean, every girl's
Crazy about a sharp dressed man, so.
Hugh swaso: It's true. It's true.
Niecy nash: Ok, here's the thing.
(alyse and hugh laugh)
You cannot deflect by telling us what we already know.
We want to try to put something up here
That we think could be right.
Alyse zavala: Do you want to see one word,
Just to make you feel better?
Hugh swaso: You want to change the first word?
Alyse zavala: First word? All right.
We're going to use my last word, for word number one. Niecy nash: Ok.
Alyse zavala: Step.
Hugh swaso: Ooh.
Niecy nash: We got some decisions to make.
(groaning)
(tense music)

Alyse zavala: All right, we're going to use my last word
For word number one.
Niecy nash: Ok. How does that change things?
Hugh swaso: A lot. (laughs)
Alyse zavala: When I step, I want to pull you in?
I want to. Is it... Hugh swaso: Ahh!
Alyse zavala: I want to pull you in?
Hugh swaso: It's a sharp dressed man.
Cufflinks, stick pin. When I step out.

(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: All right.
You all locked in these lyrics.
Alyse zavala: You owe me a drink.
Niecy nash: For $50,000, is it,

Oh, man.

Doug britton: Hi, niecy.
Niecy nash: Tell us all a little bit more about yourself.

And here I am, 19 years later,
Still working at the same store, loving my job.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Wow!
Doug britton: My employees tell me that they can
Hear me coming before they see me,
'cause I'm always singing and humming
To all the different music we play over the intercom.
And I'm hoping that that is going to
Help me win the million dollars tonight, niecy.
Niecy nash: All right.
(audience cheering)
I love people who love what they do.

Growing up, my whole family,
Everybody was born in walla walla, washington,
Which is about five hours away from where I grew up.
And we used to make that five-hour road trip all the time.

Good job.
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
I'm here with doug, who banked $2,500,
And he has all of his backups left,
Just in case he gets in trouble.
Let's try to double that money right now.

Niecy nash: I did not see that coming.
Are they playing lots of girl groups at the grocery store?
Doug britton: They do play
A lot of girl groups at the grocery store.
I also was raised around a lot of girls,
My mom, my grandma, my sister.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Doug britton: It just spoke to me.
Niecy nash: All right, well,
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"we got the beat" by the go-go's,
Or "waterfalls" by tlc.
Doug britton: Ooh. Ok, ok.
Audience: Waterfalls!
Doug britton: I can hear the chorus of,
"we got the beat" in my head.
But I don't know if I know all the words to that one.
"waterfalls", let's go with "waterfalls".
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: Little tlc action.
Doug britton: All right, mama.
Niecy nash: All right. For $5,000, doug, I'm going to need
Five missing words.
Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we will start at the first chorus.
Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: You ready? Doug britton: Let's do it.

You said, "think the rhythm of the."
Doug britton: Feeling pretty confident about that.
(laughing)
Niecy nash: Let's talk about your two backup options.
Doug britton: Ok. Niecy nash: Your first option is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you today?
Doug britton: So, I brought one of
My absolute best friends, jessie.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Hey, jessie.
Jessica blocker: Hi.
Doug britton: She works at a high school,
So anything that's hip right now,
She knows, she's heard of.
Niecy nash: All right.
Well, jessie can help you out with the answer,
But only for one song.
Would you like to use a backup now?
Doug britton: I think I'm going to use a backup.
Niecy nash: Ok, which backup would you like to use?

Doug britton: Whoo-hoo.
Niecy nash: Your friend came up
And helped you with the lyrics.
You locked them in.
For $5,000, is it "think you're moving too fast"?
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (audience cheering)
Doug britton: Oh my god!
Niecy nash: Jessie!
You got it right.
That is $5,000. Doug britton: Oh my gosh.
Niecy nash: Let's try to double your money again, doug.
This time, you're playing for $10,000.
Doug britton: Boom! All right.
Niecy nash: Which category
Is going to get you that money?
Doug britton: Let's say...
Let's say movie soundtracks.
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"shallow 'a star is born'" by lady gaga and bradley cooper,
Or "flashdance (what a feeling)". (doug laughs)
"flashdance", irene cara.
Doug britton: "shallow" has been my go-to karaoke song,
When there's like a chance to do it with a girl.
We're going to say "shallow".
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Can I tell you
Why I am so excited about hearing you sing this song?
Doug britton: Please tell me. Niecy nash: Because...
Doug britton: You're going to sing the other part?
Niecy nash: No, I'm not going to sing the other part.
We don't want that to happen, but this was the song
That I did my first dance at my wedding to.
Doug britton: Aw!
Niecy nash: To that cute thing right there.
Doug britton: Aw, you guys!
That's amazing. Niecy nash: Ok.
So, if I'm not looking at you,
And I'm making googly eyes over there, now you know why.
Doug britton: I'm dedicating this to you two.
Niecy nash: All right, thank you so much.
So, for this particular song, I'm going to need
Four missing words.
Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: And I'm going to do everything I can
To not sing along.
Doug britton: I won't look. I won't look.
Niecy nash: Ok. Ricky, can you play my wedding song?
Ricky: I can. Doug britton: Oh, you guys!

Niecy nash: Hey! Hey! Hey!
All right. Lady gaga and bradley cooper said,
"where they can't hurt us, we're far".
You said, "from the shallow now."
Are you confident in this answer?
Doug britton: I am...
♪ where they can't hurt us
♪ we're far from the shallow now ♪
Niecy.
Let's lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheering and applauding)
I'm feeling confident.
Niecy nash: You locked in those lyrics, doug.
Doug britton: Did I, already?
Niecy nash: You did. Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: For $10,000, is it "from the shallow now"?
Doug britton: It's still nerve-racking.
(drum roll beats)
(doug laughs)
(triumphant music) (audience cheering)
Yeah!
Niecy nash: You got it right.
You banked $10,000.
Doug britton: All right.
Niecy nash: Doug is going for a guaranteed $25,000...
Doug britton: Whoo!
Niecy nash: ..Next on "don't forget the lyrics".
Doug britton: All right, here we go!
(upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
So far,
Doug made it through three songs, and banked $10,000.
But we want to get him to a million.
There are six categories left.
He still has
Three backup words, if he needs them.
This next song is worth $25,000, guaranteed.
Doug britton: All right, here we go.
Niecy nash: Now doug, if you get this guaranteed
25 grand, what would you do with it?
Doug britton: Well, niecy.
Not even joking, right before I came on the show,
I'm singing every song that I possibly can,
And my radio in my jeep completely went out.
So, the first thing I'm going to do
Is upgrade the stereo system in my jeep.
(audience applauding) (laughing)
Niecy nash: Doug, you could just get a whole new jeep.
Doug britton: I love my jeep, though.
After that, I would like to finally just have my own place.
Have my own place to live,
Start really, really settling down.
And that would be enough to get
A really good down payment, start on a house.
Niecy nash: All right. Well, I like it.
So which category is going to get us a house?
Doug britton: Let's say...
Ok, let's say latin hits.
Jessica blocker: Whoo.
(speaking in foreign language)
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your dos song choices.
Doug britton: Ok! I'm in.
Niecy nash: And they are "waiting for tonight" by jennifer lopez,
Or "havana" by camila cabello, featuring young thug.
Doug britton: All right.
They play so much different music over the intercom.
And for some reason,
"waiting for tonight" plays over the intercom.
And for some reason that one is turned up a little extra
Every single time it comes on.
I don't know why.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: I wonder who does that?
(laughing)
Doug britton: I'm going to say,
"waiting for tonight" by jennifer lopez. Niecy nash: All right.
I am going to need
Four missing words for this song.
Doug britton: (exhales sharply) ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll take it from the top.
Ready? Doug britton: I'm ready.
Niecy nash: All right. Ricky, hit it.
(soft latin rock)
♪ I ever thought it could possibly be ♪
♪ it's passion it's passion it's setting me free ♪
♪ all of my sadness, the tears that I cried ♪
♪ I have spent all of my life
♪ waiting for tonight oh
♪ when you would be here in my arms ♪
♪ waiting for tonight
♪ whoa oh oh oh oh
(laughing)
Niecy nash: All right.
Jenny from the block said,
"waiting for tonight. Oh, when you would be"
You said, "here in my arms."
Are you confident about this answer?
♪ waiting for tonight whoa oh
♪ when you would be here in my arms ♪
Doug britton: Again, it's like that 98% feeling.
Niecy.
Let's lock in those lyrics again.
Let's just do it. Let's do it.
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in the lyrics.
For $25,000, guaranteed, doug, is it "here in my arms?"
(drum roll beats)
Doug britton: The suspense, man.
(drum roll continues)
(triumphant music) (audience cheering)
Oh, yes.
Niecy nash: You got it right! Doug britton: Whoo!
Niecy nash: That was $25,000, guaranteed.
Doug britton: Dollars?
Niecy nash: No matter what happens.
How does that feel, doug?
Doug britton: Oh my gosh. I get a new radio!
(laughing)
Niecy nash: Well next, we're going to give doug a chance
To double his money again.
He's getting closer to the million.
But now, the game is about to get harder.
Doug britton: (chuckles) all right.
Niecy nash: Now we are playing for $50,000!
(audience cheering)
Doug britton: Ooh!
Niecy nash: Doug,
Which category is going to get you that money?
Doug britton: All right.
Let's go with aerosmith.
Let's do it.
Let's go with aerosmith, make my dad proud.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: "dream on", or "walk this way"?
(audience yelling random suggestions)
Doug britton: I know the lyrics to "dream on" better,
So we're going to say "dream on".
Niecy nash: Ok.
(audience applauding)
So for "dream on", we're going to need eight missing words.
Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song at the second verse.
Doug britton: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, you know what to do.
(soft rock music)
♪ sing with me, sing for a year ♪
♪ sing for the laughter, sing for the tears ♪
♪ sing with me, if it's just today ♪
♪ maybe we'll tomorrow we'll be sending back today ♪
(audience cheering and applauding)
(doug laughs)
Doug britton: I knew that
A lot less than I thought that I did.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Doug britton: Gosh.
Niecy nash: Aerosmith said,
"if it's just for today maybe"
You said, "tomorrow will be sending back today."
Doug britton: Ok.
I know the last word ends with
♪ ay ay ay ay
(laughing)
Niecy nash: Ok.
Doug britton: Which could be 'today'.
Niecy nash: Ok, well, here's the thing.
You still have your three backup words,
If you would like to use them.
Doug britton: Ok.
I'm going to use one of my words.
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: Which word would you like us to reveal?
Doug britton: Let's see word,
Word number two.
Ok.
Niecy nash: Does that help at all?
Doug britton: It gave me one right word.
(audience laughing)
I'm going to have to use another word.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Doug britton: Let's use word number one.
(tense music)
Gosh.
Niecy nash: What are you going to do?
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
So far,
Doug banked a guaranteed $25,000.
But we want to get him to a million.
He still has one backup word left, if he needs it.
Now, let's take a look.
Doug britton: Oh, gosh.
Niecy nash: What are we going to do?
Doug britton: Do I trust the word today,
Or look for another ay, ay, ay, ay word?
(audience laughing)
Sorry, I'm thinking out loud here.
Niecy nash: No, that's all right.
Sometimes you got to talk through it.
Doug britton: It's going to help. It's going to help.
Tomorrow the...
Or maybe seeing that third word
Is going to help me spark into the rest of the lines.
Niecy nash: Would you like to see another word?
Doug britton: I'm going to use another word, niecy.
I'm going to say word number three.
Gosh.
Niecy nash: Did that help you out at all?
Doug britton: Not with bringing up
What the rest of the line could be.
Niecy, can I use my other backup?
Niecy nash: What, what other backup?
(laughing) doug britton: I don't have any backups.
Niecy nash: You're all out. There's no other backups.
And here's the thing, whether you're right or wrong,
You still walk away with $25,000.
Doug britton: I was just looking for more than 25.
Niecy nash: Maybe just give it all you got
Into those three words that you know are correct,
And see what could come of it.
♪ tomorrow the good life will be here today ♪
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Are those the words you want to see up there?
Doug britton: I'm not one to give up, so...
Niecy, lock in those lyrics.
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics, doug.
Doug britton: Let's lock them in.
Whoo! Niecy nash: For $50,000, is it,
"tomorrow the good life will be here today?"
(drum roll beats)
(dramatic music)
Doug britton: Ugh!
Niecy nash: That is incorrect.
Let's see what the correct lyrics are.
"tomorrow the good lord will take you away."
Doug britton: That's what I thought it was going to be.
(audience laughing)
Niecy nash: You are leaving with $25,000.
One more time for doug!
Doug britton: Thank you, guys.
Niecy nash: Next time, more singers, more songs, more missing words.
And $1 million on the line,
On "don't forget the lyrics".
Goodnight.
Hey!
(upbeat music)
Hey!
(upbeat music continues)
