From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We're just starting Travel USA!

A Toss-Up travels our way with some extra cash for you!

EVENT

Greg somehow guesses AN ACE OF KIDNEYS...whatever that is. Pat and the audience laugh.

Barbara immediately rings in and solves AN ACT OF KINDNESS. Pat has played a lot of cards and never seen that kind of ace.

Barbara	Sarah	Greg
$1,000

We almost forgot the contestants!
Barbara Acey: Elementary school cafeteria manager, from Prescott, AZ
Sarah Heitman: Mother of two, from Scotts Valley, CA (or is it "Scottsvalley"? Someone in the staff messed up.)

Greg Churchak: Previously worked at a pub in Ireland, from Los Angeles, CA (originally from Dallas, TX)

Greg won't embarrass himself with this Toss-Up, we hope...

Perfection! Barbara solves LAURA AND BARBARA BUSH.

After Barbara drew an ace, we draw this prize: A Magellan 750M vehicle navigation system (labeled TRAVEL) worth $2,500.

It just became more important to cash in with the Jackpot space.

CLUE

JACKPOT! Sarah reads what's on the board for a $9,800 pot! Now she can pull an extra $3,000 if she answers the clue.

She just says password, and she's drawing a blank. It's a personal identification number. Embarrassing since worked at a bank, and Pat noted that she used past tense.

Barbara	Sarah	Greg
$12,650	$9,800

Again, it's getting weird, so let's get back to normal with a prize. It's a trip to New York and stay at Marriott Marquis (labeled NEW YORK) worth $4,700.

Speaking of normal, you probably wish the one-third $10,000 space was a normal size. We do, too...

Pat mentions that "Armadillo" is in a special category called "Roadkill". Sarah thought she said ARMARILLO, which would still be wrong.

$12,650	$9,800	$800

Can't we just have a normal game? We hope you can respect this Toss-Up.

BONUS ROUND:

Close scores, but Barbara is taking the trip to Bonus Land! She could take one of...

"The cash" ($25,000)

Chrysler 300M (over $32,000)

2002 Audi TT coupe (over $34,000)

Land Rover (over $37,000)

"The cash 2.0" ($100,000!)

Barbara wants to win more, and she's gonna spin! It stops at the B in BONUS, and she faces this puzzle:

That surprise scored Barbara the $25,000, and she leaves with an all-cash total of $37,650!

During the post-game, Pat mentions that Lesly had a birthday last Sunday.

Well, captainfortune , he finally got to the ACE OF KIDNEYS episode. Both missolves that episode were pretty funny ones.

This episode was part of a 6th-taping compilation week. This one takes place on the set of I

NY (the 2nd featured prize does give it away a bit).

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

That closing chat contradicts the fact that Lesly’s birthday is actually April 21, which something Pat brings up yearly in a closing chat on or around the same date. It also coincides with Judy Friedman’s birthday, Harry Friedman’s wife, which Pat also mentions.

It’s possible this week was originally scheduled for the following week but was swapped with NASCAR week.
