"It's time for another exciting episode of, "Name That Winner! And here is your host, Steeeeve Harrrrvey!"



SH: "Thank you, thank you, thank you. And let's welcome back our contestant for the final round of "Name That Winner". Here, trying for the one million dollar grand prize-plus a brand new car is James Clapper."

(No applause)

SH: "So, James. Are you ready for the million-dollar question?"

JC: "As ready as I ever will be Steve."

SH: "OK: Remember-you still have all three of your lifelines. Here is the big question: Name the winner of the 2015 Major League Baseball World Series. The choices are":

a Kansas City Royals
b LA Lakers
c Manchester United
d The Rolling Stones

JC: "Let's go 50-50, Steve."

a Kansas City Royals
b LA Lakers

JC: "I think I'd better call a friend."

SH: "Who are you calling?"

JC: "President Obama. He's on vacation in Hawaii."

BO: "Yo!"

JC: "Mr President. This is Clapper. I'm on, "Name That Winner", and I need to know the answer to the million dollar question."

BO: "Make it quick. I'm on the 9th tee."

JC: "Who won the 2015 World Series?  It's either the KC Royals or the LA Lakers. Any idea?"

BO: "That's easy. It can't be the Royals because they're the JV team, and the Lakers have Kobe. Go with the Lakers."

Click.

JC: "The answer is Lakers, Steve."

SH: "You still have one lifeline, James. You can ask the people in the audience."

JC: "Who cares what the people think? What do they know? It's the Lakers. Final answer."

SH: (long pause) "And you are absolutely correct! Congratulations! You have won one million dollars and a brand new car!"



5 minutes later......

SH: "I must apologize........The answer is Kansas City Royals. Where is Mr Clapper?"

"Calling all cars. Be on the lookout. Suspect driving a brand new car with a million dollars in the trunk. May be heading to the Philippians or Columbia."
