Announcer: Please welcome
The first lady of lyrics, niecy nash!
(upbeat music continues) (audience continue cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome to "don't forget the lyrics!".
It is time for a brand new season
Of everyone's three favourite things:
Music, money, and me.
(audience cheering)
Speaking of favourites, let's say hello
To ricci and the band.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music and drum roll)
This stage is ready for our first rockstar.
So let's bring him out.
He's a property manager
And a self-proclaimed momma's boy
Who also works as a confidence coach for kids.
From melbourne, florida, it's jareb dauplaise.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Jareb dauplaise: Hey!
Niecy nash: Hey, hey.
Jareb dauplaise: Hey, what's up, what's up everybody?
Niecy nash: Listen, I love the confidence
That you came out with and it makes sense
'cause you're a what?
A confidence coach, you all heard me when I said that.
Now, how do you become (audience applauding)
A confidence coach?
Jareb dauplaise: When I was coming up,
I was very heavyset.
In high school I weighed about 260 pounds.
I wasn't very outgoing, I kind of hid in the shadows.
And when I got older in ninth grade, I met mr. Hickey,
Who was the greatest male influence
In my life, my english teacher.
And he said, "man, you got something.
"there's something about you.
"you know, you shine, stop hiding".
And when he gave me that conversation,
It kind of helped me break out of my shell,
And so I want to give that back to kids coming up now.
So I coach kids and try (audience cheering)
To help them believe in themselves.
Niecy nash: Wow, that is an incredible story
Because when I was in school, all my teachers used
To do is put "talks too much"...
Jareb dauplaise: Right.
Niecy nash: On my report card.
Jareb dauplaise: Right.
Niecy nash: And then I got pinched when I got home
Or got put on punishment because I was talking too much,
And I'm still talkin'.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Alright, I do have a little surprise for you.
Look right there.
Mr hickey: Hey jareb, it's mr. Hickey.
(audience applauding)
Jareb, I've always been very proud of you...
Jareb dauplaise: Wow.
Mr hickey: And I just want you to know as a contestant
On "don't forget the lyrics!",
I know that you're up for a lot of cash money.
And if you do win, I want you to come back
And take me out to dinner.
So good luck, jareb. (audience laughing)
(audience cheering and applauding)
Jareb dauplaise: You guys are bad, you guys are, oh, man.
Niecy nash: There ya go.
Jareb dauplaise: Oh man.
Niecy nash: So we definitely got to get you
Some money because... Jareb dauplaise: Oh man.
Niecy nash: You got a dinner date.
Jareb dauplaise: You all, I can't wait
To take him to dinner.
Niecy nash: Alright, so this is how this is going to work.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
I'm going to give you $1 million.
(audience cheering)
Jareb dauplaise: I will gladly accept that mill.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look
At your categories for tonight.
Divas, movie soundtracks, '90s, today's hits, disco,
Alternative, pop, the rolling stones, and r&b.
Jareb dauplaise: Wow.
Niecy nash: The first song is worth $2,500
And the money keeps growing right up
To the million-dollar song.
(music chimes) jareb dauplaise: Oh, my god.
Niecy nash: If you make it to $25,000,
That money is guaranteed.
Alright? (audience cheering)
Jareb, which category would you like to play for first?
Jareb dauplaise: Wow, you know, niecy,
I was raised in the nineties,
So I feel very confident in that category.
I mean, movie soundtracks, girl, I love your films,
So I hope some of those soundtracks are in there.
Niecy nash: Well. (audience laughing)
Jareb dauplaise: So I'd like to get my feet wet
With something that I feel fairly confident with,
And niecy, I'd like to start with the '90s.
Niecy nash: Ok. (audience cheering)
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"livin' la vida loca" by ricky martin...
Jareb dauplaise: Ooh.
Niecy nash: Or "hand in my pocket" by alanis morissette.
Jareb dauplaise: Wow, two great songs.
Ricky martin, I have absolutely sweated a lot
Of pounds off to that song.
That is a great song in the gym.
"hand in my pocket" is where my hand is
Right now this second.
So I kind of feel like I'm going to go with alanis morissette.
Niecy nash: Ok. (audience cheering)
So for this song, I am going to need
Three missing words. Jareb dauplaise: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song from the top.
Jareb dauplaise: Alright, thank you.
Niecy nash: Ready?
Jareb dauplaise: (exhales) let's go.
Niecy nash: Let's go, ricci.
("hand in my pocket by alanis morissette)
♪ I'm broke, but I'm happy ♪
♪ I'm poor, but I'm kind ♪
♪ I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah ♪
(audience cheering) ♪ I'm high, but I'm grounded ♪
♪ I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed ♪
♪ I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby ♪
♪ and what it all comes down to ♪
♪ is that everything's going to be ♪
(dramatic beat) ♪ fine, fine ♪
♪ fine ♪ (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Alright, let's take a look.
Alanis morissette said,
"is that everything's going to be".
You said, "fine, fine, fine".
Almost sounded like you were describing me.
(audience laughing) (audience cheering)
Jareb dauplaise: I was, three times, niecy.
Niecy nash: Yep, how are you feeling
About this answer, jareb?
Jareb dauplaise: I'm going to be dead honest with you,
I'm a little nervous.
Niecy nash: Are you really?
Jareb dauplaise: Because in this song she
Changes to that a couple times.
"everything is going to be quite
All right" is another option somewhere in the song.
And "fine, fine, fine" is as well.
Niecy nash: Well, you started the song from the top.
Do you remember where it changes in the song?
Jareb dauplaise: Right now I seem
To be drawing a little blank on that.
Niecy nash: Well, would you like to talk
About your options or do you want to lock in those lyrics?
Jareb dauplaise: Could you run me
Through the options one time?
Niecy nash: So you have two backup options.
First is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you today?
Jareb dauplaise: I brought my dear friend,
Crystal milligan, and we were friends
Since junior high school, (audience cheering)
And through high school we did chorus.
We're from the same hometown
Of melbourne, florida, representin'.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: Alright, well, crystal can help you out
With an answer, but only on one song.
Or you have five 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.
You can use all five words at once
Or you can spread them out across the game.
Jareb dauplaise: Well, the good news here is
If I think it's the one word "fine"
And if I use one word
And it's "fine", then I'll be fine.
So as much as I hate to do it on the very first one,
I'd like to use one of the five words please.
Niecy nash: Which line would you like
To see correct?
Because they all say the same...
Jareb dauplaise: Yeah, same thing.
Niecy nash: Yeah, they do.
Ah! Yes!
Niecy, it's got to be three fines.
I would like to lock in those lyrics please.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Ok!
You locked in those lyrics.
If you are correct, all of the words will turn green.
If you are incorrect,
And a word turns red, the game
Is over. Jareb dauplaise: Whew!
Niecy, I need those words to match crystal's jacket.
Niecy nash: Alright, so for $2,500,
Is it "fine, fine, fine"?
(audience applauding) (dramatic drum roll)
(triumphant music) jareb dauplaise: Woo-hoo!
Niecy nash: You just banked $2,500.
We're trying to double it right now.
This next song is worth $5,000.
Jareb dauplaise: Whew. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Alright, which category
Would you like to play for next?
Jareb dauplaise: I know I said I liked movie soundtracks.
I watch a lot of films.
R&b's a lot of fun, man.
I really like that category as well.
Pop, wow, um...
You know, I'd like to take a look at r&b.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Alright.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"reunited" by peaches & herb,
Or "u got it bad" by usher.
Jareb dauplaise: Ooh, ooh.
Niecy nash: Are you familiar with either of these songs?
Jareb dauplaise: Oh, absolutely, "reunited",
Peaches & herb's a strong song, but I'm going with usher.
Niecy nash: Alright. (audience cheering)
For "u got it bad", I'm going
To need four missing words.
Jareb dauplaise: Alright. Niecy nash: Ok?
And we'll start the song right at the top, are you ready?
Jareb dauplaise: (exhales) yes, ma'am.
Ricci, he's ready.

Niecy nash: Alright,
Usher said, "when you're on
The phone, hang up",
And you said, "I'll call right back".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Jareb dauplaise: It's the first word, niecy,
It's the first word.
"when you're on the phone,
"hang up and I'll call right back",
'cause I got it bad, right?
Alright, I mean, I feel like,
I feel like this could be it.
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics!".
Jareb just sang "u got it bad" by usher.
Jareb dauplaise: Yep.
Niecy nash: Ok, so usher said,
"when you're on the phone...
Jareb dauplaise: (exhales) my god.
Niecy nash: "hang up",
And you said, "I'll call right back".
Jareb dauplaise: "when you're on the phone,
"hang up and you call", no.
"when you're on the phone,
"hang up and I'll call right back".
Niecy nash: Ok, you've been going back and forth
On a word up there...
Jareb dauplaise: Right, the first word.
Niecy nash: You can always use a backup.
Jareb dauplaise: Yep, going through one backup a song
Is not the game plan.
But I would just feel so much better
If I knew that first word for sure.
Niecy, if I could use one
Of the four words for line one.
(graphics whoosh)
Ahh!
Just saved, my god. Niecy nash: Are you feeling
More confident now?
Jareb dauplaise: I feel confident enough
To say lock in those lyrics.
Niecy nash: Alright, you locked in those lyrics.
If you are right, you will bank $5,000
And then you're on your way to the million-dollar song.
If you are wrong, you leave with nothing,
Jareb dauplaise: You say it so dramatic.
Niecy nash: For $5,000, is it
"u call right back"?
Jareb dauplaise: Come on, let it be.
(dramatic drum roll)
Give me a green.
Green. (triumphant music)
Yes, let's go! Niecy nash: Hey!
Jareb dauplaise: Let's go!
Niecy nash: That is $5,000.
Jareb dauplaise: Yes!
Niecy nash: Only eight songs left
To the million-dollar song.
But first let's try to double that money again.
This time we're playing for $10,000.
(audience cheering)
Alright, let's take a look.
Jareb, you still have divas, movie soundtracks,
Today's hits, disco, alternative,
Pop, and the rolling stones.
Jareb dauplaise: Ok.
Niecy nash: Which one is going to get you that money?
Jareb dauplaise: Well, you know, I think it'd just be fun
To sing a rolling stones song on national television.
(audience cheering)
So for 10k,
Let's roll them stones.
Niecy nash: Alright.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"sympathy for the devil" or "jumpin' jack flash".
Jareb dauplaise: Oh wow.
Audience member: "sympathy for the devil"!
(audience exclaiming)
Jareb dauplaise: Niecy, let's hope
"jumpin' jack flash" gets me there.
Niecy nash: Alright.
(audience cheering)
So for this song, jareb, I'm going to need
Five missing words and we'll
Take the song from the top.
Jareb dauplaise: Alright.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricci.

(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: Alright.
The rolling stones said,
"but it's all right now".
You said, "in fact, it's a gas".
How confident are you in this answer?
Jareb dauplaise: I like it.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Do you want to lock in those lyrics?
Jareb dauplaise: I feel good about it.
Let's lock in those lyrics.
Niecy nash: Ok.
(audience cheering)
You locked in those lyrics, jareb, for $10,000.

Yay! (triumphant music)

Crystal milligan: Yes! Jareb dauplaise: Yeah!
Niecy nash: You banked $10,000.
Jareb dauplaise: Yes!
Niecy nash: Only seven songs left to the million, ok!
Jareb dauplaise: Thank you, momma!
Niecy nash: Are you ready to turn it
Into 25,000 guaranteed?
Jareb dauplaise: Why you think we came here?
Niecy nash: Alright!
So, talk to me, what would $25,000 mean to you?
Jareb dauplaise: My mother just retired
After 40 years of teaching
And I would really love to throw her
The party that she'll never forget.
Niecy nash: I love that. (audience cheering)
Which category is going to get momma that retirement party?
Jareb dauplaise: Boy, it is
Absolutely getting tougher here.
Today's hits, wow, divas. (mimics cat meow)
(audience laughing) (niecy laughing)
You know, I think I want to take a look at alternative.
(audience exclaiming)
Niecy nash: Well you didn't say it
With a lot of confidence, but we are in the weeds now.
Jareb dauplaise: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Alright? Jareb dauplaise: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Jareb dauplaise: Oh!
Niecy nash: "buddy holly" by weezer

Jareb dauplaise: Ooh.

(audience cheering and applauding)
What category is going to get us there?
Jareb dauplaise: Alright, $50,000.
We're doubling a lot of money here.
I'm scared to death, but I'm going to go pop.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Wow, ok, let's take a look
At your two song choices.
"what a girl wants" by christina aguilera
Or "love will keep us together" by captain & tennille.
(audience cheering)
Jareb dauplaise: I'm terrified to butcher
♪ "what a girl wants" ♪
But I think I'm going to have to try it.
"what a girl wants" by christina aguilera.
Niecy nash: Alright, for $50,000, jareb,
I need seven missing words.
And we will start the song at the first chorus.

About "thanking you".
"and I'm thanking you for...
Niecy nash: Mm-hm.
Jareb dauplaise: Alright, I'm stuck.
I'm kind of curious
To what my backup would say.
Crystal and I are very close.
Sometimes we finish each other's sentences,
So I'm hoping she can finish these lyrics.
(niecy laughing) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Crystal, grab the mic and come on up.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Hi crystal. Crystal milligan: Hi.
Niecy nash: Alright, so,
What do you think about his answer so far?
Crystal milligan: I like the first five words.
I'm not too sure about the last two.
Jareb dauplaise: The exact same.
Crystal milligan: Yeah,
And I was thinking "everything" after "me" but then,
I couldn't think of the other word after that, so:
♪ thank you for giving me everything ♪
♪ I'm thanking you for giving me everything ♪
(dramatic beat) ooh!
Crystal milligan: I keep thinking "everything".
Jareb dauplaise: I like that.
Crystal milligan: But I'm not sure
About the last word either.
Jareb dauplaise: How do you feel about the first four?
"thanking you for giving"?
Crystal milligan: "thanking you for giving...
I even think "me" is correct. ♪ thanking you for giving ♪
Right.
Crystal milligan: It's the last two I'm really not sure.

Niecy nash: What would you like to do now?
Jareb dauplaise: I have one option.
I'm going to have to fill in some blanks.
Niecy nash: Which line would you like us to reveal?
Jareb dauplaise: Well, clearly,
Crystal and I are struggling hard on six and seven,
But I would like to go with six
And make sure that's correct and just see
If it changes that word and jogs
My memory for something else.

Niecy nash: Let's review your categories.
You have divas, movie soundtracks, today's hits, and disco.
Jareb dauplaise: Alright.

Or "eye of the tiger", survivor, from "rocky iii".
Jareb dauplaise: Yes! (audience cheering)
I'm a huge fan of post malone, I love his music, but...
(audience laughing)
"eye of the tiger".
(audience cheering)
Can I be a fighter?
(audience cheering)
It's "eye of the tiger", "rocky iii"!
Niecy nash: Alright. (audience cheering)
Here we go, jareb, for $75,000,
I am looking for eight missing words.
Jareb dauplaise: I feel like every time we do this,
You keep adding lyrics.
Niecy nash: Oh, now you know how this game works.
Jareb dauplaise: Aye. (audience laughing)
Niecy nash: Eight missing words
And we'll take it from the top.
Jareb dauplaise: Hit it, ricci.
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: He's doing my job, I love it.

Niecy nash: Alright, survivor said,
"it's the thrill of the fight".
You said, "rising up
"to the challenge of our rival".
Are you certain about this answer?
Jareb dauplaise: Rocky.
Audience member: Rocky, rocky!
Jareb dauplaise: Rocky said,
"it's not how many times you get knocked down...
(audience cheering)
"but it's how many times you get back up".
Niecy nash: Here's the thing,
Here's the thing about that. (audience cheering)
We don't need you to remember the lines from the script.
Jareb dauplaise: Oh! Oh! (audience laughing)
Niecy nash: We need you to remember
The lyrics of the song. Jareb dauplaise: Aw!
(niecy laughs)
Jareb dauplaise: I figured if I channelled my rocky...
Niecy nash: Alright, if you are right,
You will bank $75,000
And will still be on your way to the million-dollar song.
Jareb dauplaise: Wow.
Niecy nash: But if you are wrong,
You drop back down to 25,000.
Jareb dauplaise: I don't think I can throw in the towel
On "eye of the tiger", I refuse to bow out
And I will absolutely put this on the line.
Let's lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Ok.
(dramatic music)
You locked in those lyrics.
For $75,000, is it
"rising up to the challenge of our rival"?
(dramatic drum roll)
(triumphant music) (all cheering)
Niecy nash: Oh, my god!
Jareb! $75,000! (audience cheering)
Ok!
Jareb has tears in his eyes,
I'm about to cry my fake eyelashes off,
We'll be right back!
(audience cheering and applauding)
(upbeat music)
Jareb just sang survivor and, boo, he is one
By banking $75,000 with no backup.
Now he's about to play for $100,000.
There are three categories left
Until the million-dollar song.
$100,000 is life-changing money.
How would it change your life?
Jareb dauplaise: My mother has lived
In the same house since 1978.
100 grand, no one's takin' that house from us.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Ok, which category
Is going to seal the deal?
Divas, today's hits, or disco?
(jareb laughs) (audience exclaiming)
Jareb dauplaise: Divas, man, those girls really bring it.
Niecy, let's take a look at divas.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Ok, let's see
What your two song choices are.
"think" by aretha franklin,
Or "if I could turn back time" by cher.
Jareb dauplaise: No one does it
Like aretha franklin, let's be honest.
(audience cheering)
However, my momma is a rocker
And cher was her jam.
Let's go with cher right now.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Alright.
Get this right... Jareb dauplaise: Oh, my god.
Niecy nash: And $100,000 is yours.
Jareb dauplaise: Please, please.
Niecy nash: I am looking for eight missing words.
And we will start the song before the first chorus.
Jareb dauplaise: Ok, let's start it.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricci.

"I'd give them all to you, then you'd love...
You said, "me, love me,
"like you used to do".
Jareb dauplaise: Wow, that looks good.
Niecy nash: How confident are you in this answer?
Jareb dauplaise: I distinctly remember cher
Rocking this verse, this exact part.

♪ then you'd love me, love me ♪

Niecy nash: Alright, so what are we thinking?
I mean, you seem very
Passionate about it.
Jareb dauplaise: I do, which scares me.
Niecy nash: Are you passionate enough
To lock in those lyrics?
Jareb dauplaise: Oh, this is the worst part because
I could totally play it safe,
Bow out with $75,000
And I'm going to watch all those lyrics turn green.
But mathematically, I'd only be losing out on 25 grand.
If I run these lyrics and I'm wrong, I'm losing 50 grand.
That's where my mind's at.
Niecy nash: But if you're right,
You're on your way to a million.
Jareb dauplaise: You're right,
Let's lock in those lyrics!
Niecy nash: Oh, my god!
(audience cheering)
Oh, my goodness!
Look at me.
Are you ready to see if this is right?
Jareb dauplaise: No turning back time now.
Niecy nash: No, no, no, not at all.
Alright, for $100,000, is it
"me, love me like you used to do"?
(dramatic drum roll)
Oh, my god! Jareb dauplaise: Yes!
Oh, my god, oh, my god!
Oh, my god! Niecy nash: Oh, my god!
(jareb screaming) jareb just banked $100,000.
(audience cheering) let that sink in.
Audience: Jareb, jareb!
Jareb, jareb, jareb, jareb!
Niecy nash: The pressure is on
And jareb will sing for $150,000 next
On "don't forget the lyrics!".
Jareb dauplaise: Let's go!
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics!".
Jareb, when we left off, you just banked $100,000.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Audience: Jareb! Jareb!
Niecy nash: The entire... Audience: Jareb! Jareb!
Crowd is chanting your name. Audience: Jareb! Jareb!
Jareb dauplaise: Feels good.
Audience: Jareb! Jareb!
Jareb dauplaise: That's the best part.
Niecy nash: Talk to me right now.
What are these tears about?
Jareb dauplaise: I mean, you all changed my life today.
Audience: Aww!
Jareb dauplaise: This is so much money
In one day, I'm sorry.
I didn't sleep one wink last night.
I laid in bed and had my eyes closed
And I just thought of all the things that would go wrong
And how I'd embarrass myself on tv
And everybody would clown me when I got home.
And now I'm sitting at 100 grand
And everyone in here is cheering my name.
And I didn't play that scenario out.
This is truly a dream.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: I am very, very happy for you
Because what has happened right now is
You got dinner with mr. Hickey,
You got momma a retirement party.
Jareb dauplaise: At least. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: We done worked on paying off the house.
(audience cheering) right?
You got a lot going on and a lot to be grateful for.
Now, normally, I would say stand in this moment
And feel what you feel.
But what I'm going to say is fix your face,
We got more money to win!
Jareb dauplaise: Word.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Alright.
This next song is worth $150,000.
(audience cheering)
But the game is about to get harder.
Alright, your categories are today's hits or disco.
Jareb dauplaise: There's a band out there
Called panic! At the disco and I am panicking
Looking at disco right now.
Let's go with today's hits.
Niecy nash: Alright, let's take a look
At your two song choices.
"someone you loved" by lewis capaldi
Or "new rules" by dua lipa.
Jareb dauplaise: Wow, niecy.
Niecy nash: Do you know either of these songs?
Let's start there. Jareb dauplaise: Alright,
If we're going to be real right now coming off the top,
I'm not very familiar with these songs.
But I do love dua lipa.
And I'm wondering if the dua lipa songs I know
Happens to be "new rules".
Let's go with "new rules", dua lipa.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Ok.
For $150,000,
I am looking for 11 missing words.
Jareb dauplaise: What, we were just in single digits.
Niecy nash: I know, see how quick things change?
Keep up. (audience laughing)
We're going to start the song from the tippy top.
Jareb dauplaise: Thank you.
Niecy nash: Ricci, from the top.

Niecy nash: Jareb just sang "new rules" by dua lipa.
For $150,000,
What would you like to do now?
Jareb dauplaise: I was really hoping
You all were going to blank out one.
'cause I know "he's only calling when he's drunk and alone".
Two, try an online dating app and see if that pans out?
(audience laughing) (niecy laughing)
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Alright, let's take a look, jareb.
(jareb laughs)
Dua lipa said, "'cause he's drunk and alone, two...
You said, "try an online dating app
"and see if that pans out"? (audience laughing)
Jareb dauplaise: Was that 11 words?
(niecy laughing) (audience applauding)
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Let me just walk you through your options...
Jareb dauplaise: Oh, yes. Niecy nash: One more time.
Jareb dauplaise: Yeah.
Niecy nash: You can lock in these lyrics,
(audience laughing)
And if you're right,
You will bank $150,000.
Jareb dauplaise: If this is right,
You all should give me a trillion dollars.
(audience laughing)
Niecy nash: But if you are wrong,
You drop all the way down to $25,000,
Or you can bow out with the $100,000
You've already banked.
(audience shouting indistinctly)
What would you like to do?
Jareb dauplaise: I'm going to save this,
You don't have to go to a commercial break on this one.
(audience laughing)
Ladies and gentlemen, clearly, I did not expect
To come out here and make $100,000 in one day.
(audience cheering)
Niecy, you have been the greatest host.
Thank you for treating me.
Ricci and the band, thank you all
So much for putting up with me.
Audience, you guys have been fantastic!
(audience cheering)
I'm bowing out, you all.
(triumphant music) (audience cheering)
Thank you, bye!
Niecy nash: You are leaving with $100,000.
Jareb dauplaise: Unbelievable!
(audience cheering and applauding)
Unbelievable.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look and see
What the correct answer is.
Jareb dauplaise: It's probably this.
(graphics whoosh)
Niecy nash: "don't let him in,
"you'll have to kick him out again".
Jareb dauplaise: Oh!
Niecy nash: You made the right decision
To bow out. (audience cheering)
Jareb dauplaise: Thank you.
