(goofy looking game show with bright lights and podiums for contestants who are out there already, and big game board)
Announcer (voice): And now it’s time for that wacky game show that will always have you shouting out......
(audience screams out “TRIPPERDOODLE!!!!!!!!”)
And now, let’s hear it from our host, Jimmy Doodle!!!!!!
(host comes out black suit and with smile on his face)
Jimmy Doodle: Thank you, and welcome to Tripperdoodle. The only game show that will urge one to shout out “Tripperdoodle” should they think that the answer is false. Our contestants have been here all week, and have racked up some major money. Congratulations, guys. Now, let’s get back to the game. Gary, you start first. The answer is: Eva Longoria is one of the Desperate Housewives.
Gary: That is correct, Jimmy.
Jimmy Doodle: Alright. The man who was host of “The Twilight Zone” was Rod Serling.
Gary: TRIPPERDOODLE!!!!!
Jimmy Doodle: Nope, sorry. That was the correct answer. But, you still have $15,000 and you are still in the lead. Now, hands on buzzers. The 50th state to enter the U.S. was Alaska.
(Kathy buzzes in)
Kathy: TRIPPERDOODLE!!!!!!
Jimmy Doodle: That’s right, Kathy. That’s right. Before we continue, let’s look at the scores. Gary with $15,000 is from Topeka, Kansas.
Gary: Yes, Jimmy. I’ve lived there all my life.
Jimmy Doodle: In second, Kathy is right behind Gary with $12,000 and you are from Chicago, Illinois.
Kathy: The Windy City, Jimmy.
Jimmy Doodle: And unfortunately for Leslie, you haven’t won anything yet but there is still plenty of game to go around. Leslie, you’re from Arizona. What town?
Leslie: Just Arizona. I live in my car, drive around and live everywhere.
Jimmy Doodle: Okay. I’d also like to point out before we continue that all of this money will be given to victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Now, let’s play TRIPPERDOODLE!!!!!!!
(Gary and Kathy look confused and shout out)
Gary: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What did you say?
Kathy: Did you say....?
Jimmy Doodle: Yes, all of your winnings will be donated to families who survived the hurricane disaster in the south.
Gary: But.....
Jimmy Doodle: This has been Katrina Week on the show, and you signed a contract. I thought you knew.
Kathy: (flustered) We did.....it’s just.....
Gary: I guess we just keep playing, but....we don’t get to keep ANY of the money?
Jimmy Doodle: None, whatsoever. You’re not upset, are you?
(Gary and Kathy try to hold back anger)
Gary: No....it’s fine.
Kathy: We’re glad to help out.
Leslie: (unharmed by news) I’m perfectly fine with it, actually.
Jimmy Doodle: Alright. Kathy, it’s still your turn. The winning team of the 2005 World Series was the Chicago White Sox.
Kathy: (uncaring) Uh, I don’t know. Correct, I guess.
Jimmy Doodle: You are correct, Kathy. That puts you in the lead with $22,000.
Kathy: (frustrated) Wonderful.
Jimmy Doodle: Right now, we would like to take a look at one of those hurt from this terrible event in our nation’s time. His name is James Danforth III. He owned several luxury car dealerships in the New Orleans area, and many of them were destroyed due to the flooding. Fortunately, a tweak in his insurance let him get payment for most if not all of his cars. But, the pain and anguish of living through that ordeal will be greatly compensated when you three contestants help these poor victims of a tragedy. And there is Mr. Danforth, in the audience.

James Danforth III: I appreciate everything you’re doing for me.
(back to gameshow)
Jimmy Doodle: You are truly honorable people.
Gary: (upset) No problem.
Kathy: (upset) Glad to help.
Leslie: (unaffected) Thank God for Jambalaya.
Jimmy Doodle: Buzzers, contestants. Barbara Walters is the host of the NBC show “The Apprentice.”
(nobody buzzes in, then Leslie buzzes in later)
Leslie: Hell, I’ll give it a shot. Tripperdoodle.
Jimmy Doodle: Correct, Leslie. And you’re on the board with $500.
Leslie: I’m glad to help out in any way. As long as it’s not that kind of money. (pointing to other contestants)
Jimmy Doodle: Okay. Once again, I would like for you to meet a family that had to endure strong hardships from the most devastating hurricane in hundreds of years. Meet Harold Vallencourt, his wife Kelly, and his two sons Jonathan and Charles. The Vallencourt family had inherited a mansion from the matriarch of the clan, and lost all of
it in that awful hurricane. Although they still have several millions of dollars stored away in some of their other houses across the country and in Europe, the tragedy was horrific on their emotions. Harold Vallencourt and his family, ladies and gentlemen.
(shot of family sitting in audience)
Harold Vallencourt: God bless all of you. It has been rough living in 12-room houses. I can’t imagine what people who never had at least one mansion to live in their life have to go through. Thank you all so much.
(back to gameshow)
Jimmy Doodle: These contestants are brave people. Give them a round of applause.
(audience applauds, and Gary and Kathy are speechless and covering their faces with anger; this while Leslie soaks in exchange)
Leslie: It’s the least I could do.
Jimmy Doodle: Leslie, we’re still with you. The undefeated football team so far in the 2005 season is the Buffalo Bills.
Leslie: TRIPPERDOODLE!!!!!
Jimmy Doodle: Right. And you’re not going to believe this!!!
Leslie: What?
Jimmy Doodle: That was the super-dripper-Tripperdoodle answer, worth
$100,000!!!!!!
Leslie: (flabbergasted) WHATTTTTTT??????!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy Doodle: Leslie is the winner for today’s show. This bringing the grand total to the Hurricane Katrina victims this week to $137,500. Three cheers for our contestants. (along with audience) Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Thanks again for watching “Tripperdoodle!” I’m Jimmy Doodle. Goodnight.
(balloons and confetti come down as contestants weep, and “victims” of the hurricane come onto set and celebrate)
