Trio of comedians left to right hoping to make us laugh w/ some funny money
–Nikki Glaser, host of “FBOY Island” on HBO; she is playing for Ocean Conservancy
–Tig Notaro, podcast host who’s joining the cast of “The Morning Show” in its third season; she’s playing for World Resources Institute
–Thomas Lennon, star of “RENO 911!” as Lt. Dangle and screenwriter who wrote films such as “Night at The Museum”; he’s playing for Dogs Without Borders
Game 1
Final G1 Scores: Nikki: $49,100 MDW/Tig: $15,700Thomas: $12,300
GT: $77,100
NO G1 PENALTY SPINS!!!
Scary moment
-In R2, Tig SPINGLES for a $700 W when she could’ve gone for all those D’s. But then again, it would have been difficult for her to guess they were there w/out the W, and she was taking precaution against a potential penalty spin.

Scary moments
-In R1, Thomas PAINFULLY BANKRUPTs near $2,500 to watch $18,200 get FLUSHED AWAY — YIKES!! Nikki then gets the pronoun wrong on her attempt to solve the puzzle (and she tried to correct it but it was too late).
–Tig attempts to solve during S-U…

GAME SHOW QUICKIES — Your Game Show Hub For The TL;DR! 
This was an A-1 Perfect Show as we begin our week of America’s Game with TWO 2ND GRAND PRIZE WINNERS OF $100K+. Way to go! Nikki didn’t lose that number, and neither did Tom!
Bobby’s Rating – 10 (Act I) + 10 (Act II) = PERFECT 20! (Winning Show)
FINAL COUNT – 5 DDs, 1 F!, and $200K for charity.
BLOOD COUNT – Only 1 DD.
Both Griffin shows were our major winning ones tonight.
Nikki and Tom (who statistically are now in the running for Friday’s CONTESTANT OF THE WEEK honors) better hold on to their hats as tomorrow we start Dream Car Week on TPIR. We will be watching that game (as far as Luxury Games, this week’s possible edition of $ (TGIF) Game, and any featured Dream Car goes), as well as any further $100K and/or $1M wins or losses in our syndicated games to determine who we choose this Friday in our “…Of The Week” honors. For better or worse, this week has only begun!
See you in the morning for LMAD!

GAME 1
This half the game was GOOD, and we were this close 🤏🏻 to having a penalty-free game (i.e. having absolutely no penalties at all, not even duds). And hey, we actually get to see SHOW BIZ in the BR after it was absent the previous season. And even though Nikki isn’t the second million dollar winner on this version of the show, having our first $100K win of the season is nothing to sneeze at!
GAME 2
Not too good of a game, IMO, largely due to Thomas’s PAINFUL BANKRUPT (also a new-season worst) and that “scary” missolve by Tig in the Speed-Up. On the other hand, it was quite interesting to see the Triple Toss-Ups be based on the names of the contestants competing this episode. Good for Nikki to sweep ’em even though there’s no bonus for that unlike the civilian version of the show. And Thomas’s BR solve gives us the second $100K win of the season (also the first time where that prize was won both games in one episode)!
My Ratings
Game 1: 9
Game 2: 7
And speaking of the $100K being won in both games in an episode, I wonder how the win record for said prize would be colored in the stats if it was won in one game but lost in the other? 🤔

My grades for each game are A and C+, respectively.

I would imagine yellow/gold, but if it was won once but lost more than once then orange.
Such scenarios are common on Let’s Make a Deal where the Big Deal is revealed second.

So if was won more than it was lost, I presume it would be colored yellow-green or something.
