-Okay, Travis Dunn, you're up next.

Travis Dunn?

Travis Dunn, you're up next.

Travis Dunn?

No Travis?

- All right, here we go.

-Hi.

-Welcome to "Press Your Luck," Travis.

Oh, boy.

Oh, I can't believe I'm finally hearing those words.

-Glad you're excited.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, okay?

-Okay. -Look at the camera.

- Um

Oh, oh, wait one...

What is that? -A plate.

No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies.

-Yeah, I love this.

Well, I guess that's it, Chuck.

No auditions necessary.

-No, no, he's not being serious, okay?

Just please tell us a little bit about yourself, okay?

Ready?

Three, two, one. -Whew!

Hi. I'm Travis. Travis Dunn.

And I am just so darn excited to be here.

I've never been to California.

I've actually never been past Illinois, for that matter.

I just came off a three-day trek from my hometown in Ohio,

a little place called Lebanon.

And I got to apologize for my appearance.

I swear, I clean up nice.

-I mean, you must be pooped, huh, Travis?

-Oh, no, no, not at all.

The adrenaline's keeping me going.

I want to win the big bucks!

-What is it you do for a living?

-Yeah, I work...

I work in air-conditioning repair.

And sometimes, I drive an ice cream truck

during the summer when I need to.

- Beautiful.

-So why do you want to press your luck, Travis?

-To the camera, please.

-Honestly? -Yes, please.

-Okay, so every morning, I wake up to the smell of bacon

on the griddle, eggs on the stove,

and sometimes burnt toast.

Don't tell my wife I said that.

And me, and Patricia, and our little one,

we gather around the breakfast table

and we watch your show until I have to go to work.

It's our little ritual.

-In the middle of an audition.

-Oh, can -- can I just say -- I'm sorry,

Mr. Carruthers. I just want to say

that you are -- -You're kidding me.

-You're like a hero in our home.

-Oh, stories like yours help me know that my time's not wasted.

-Not at all. I love the show.

I've probably seen every episode.

You know, if presents aren't allowed,

I can take the plate back. I didn't...

-Sylvia, can you please get the real Travis

a couple of T-shirts and let him know

that we'll be with him in a second?

Hey, Jim, can you get this guy off the lot, please?

-I'm not running. I just...

wanted to say I'm sorry if I caused any trouble.

-Let's go.

-This isn't even him.

Nice.

I swear, I saw that on "60 Minutes" once.

-Stories like those are why America loves game shows.

-Real people, winning real money, yes.

- Huh?

I like the guy.

-Yep, 'cause he drove his ice cream truck from Bumfuck, Ohio,

through the desert.

-All right, give it a rest, Chuck, okay?

I'm in mourning. -Sorry, Bill.

I get it, you know. I'm not an idiot.

I'd cast the guy, but he's a fucking creep.

-Oh.

-Shit, shit! Come on! -I'm not moving until you go.

-It's broken, damn it!

Happy? You can leave now.

Oh.

Um...

-I'll be damned. You weren't kidding.

That's for sure. Hm.

Um, you fucked up, ice cream man.

-I know, I know.

I get so nervous, and I made phone calls and sent letters,

and never heard back.

I just thought that... -Listen.

-...maybe if I came here --

-You want to know why I'm Chucky's boss?

It's because I can see the future.

Tomorrow morning, you are going to wake up,

you are going to trim that beard and comb

that mop of yours, and you get a decent jacket.

And then you're gonna show up to this lot at 10:00 a.m. sharp,

and if you're late, so help me God.

-Are you sure?

-We'll see you tomorrow. -Okay. 10:00 a.m. sharp.

-What the hell am I thinking? Um...

What the hell is your name, guy?

It's

Michael Larson, yeah. -Michael Larson.

-It's gonna be $8.

Oh, you know what?

Um...

Jacket was actually damaged, so...

-It's a thrift shop.

-Yeah, all the buttons are...

-I can give you 25% off the jacket.

-Oh.

-You made me love you.

I wish I would have never walked into that elevator!

I wish...

Damn it! Line!

-I wish I would have taken the?

-Stairs. -Stairs. That's right.

-Jesus Christ, who writes this shit?

-Okay, in we come. Come on.

Quick, quick quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.

Please. -Hold for the tour.

-Oh, wow. -That's it, in we come.

-This is pretty neat.

-So let me be the first to introduce you

to our not-so-little home we love to call Television City.

-Okay, let's get ready, everyone.

-If you'd like to follow me this way, the tour will continue.

-Okay, roll camera.

Now speed.

Action.

-Welcome to Hong Kong. Just kidding, of course.

We are still here in the CBS studios.

This is just one of the nine productions

going on here at any given time.

-It's a live set. Keep it moving, tour girl!

-Hey, boy, watch it!

-We broke ground in 1952.

-Cool! Are those extras?

-And here is our little corner of the neighborhood, Studio 33.

-Is this your wife? You can stay with her.

You can -- All right, can we send some more people down here?

I'm not going to split up families.

We're not that kind of show.

-Sylvia, one of your sheep have left the meadow.

-Yeah, come right around.

Hey, Charles, I think you need about four more.

-Hey, you are not supposed to be wandering around out here.

You have to stay in the green room.

-We've got a lot of nice people,

a lot of good people in the house.

-Hey, Sylvia.

Listen, I just wanted to say...

I-I apologize about yesterday.

-Oh. Well, um, it was fine in the end.

And you're here, so...

I'm just glad they didn't fire me.

-Me too.

-Hey, Sylvia, ready for the next one.

-Okay. -So...

-Yeah, we have to -- Yeah. -Yeah.

-Today, these three players are after big bucks!

But they'll have to avoid the Whammies

as they play the most exciting game of their lives!

From Television City in Hollywood,

it's time to press your luck!

Here's your host, the star of "Press Your Luck,"

Peter Tomarken!

-Thank you, thank you!

-Yes, thanks to you.

-Thank you, Rod, thank you, audience,

and thank you to you viewers at home.

And welcome to the most Vegas game...

-And stop!

-$500 and a spin.

-Stop!

-$1,000 and a spin!

-Okay, Michael, Janie? You're up next.

-Let's do it. -$11,516, Ed.

That makes you our winner today.

-Oh, my gosh, this is so exciting.

-It's show time.

-Okay. -Hey. No, uh, wait.

What are you doing? -Just following orders.

-But the wife likes the bow tie quite a bit.

-Yeah, I actually think this one suits you a little better.

Bow ties are for chumps, anyway, and I don't think that's you.

-Hmm.

-All right, gorgeous.

They're ready.

-Perfect. Okay, Ed, if you'd like to follow me,

and, Janie and Michael, just follow on afterwards.

We're gonna stick quite closely here to this red backdrop

and take you to the other side of the stage.

Yeah, we're on our way.

Just be careful of these wires here.

People trip all the time.

-Really neat, isn't it?

-And careful as we come around the corner.

The stage juts out kind of far,

and you don't want to hit your --

-Sylvia, I thought I told you

to stop bringing in such good-looking contestants.

I'm starting to think you're trying to make me look bad.

Hello. I'm Peter. Peter, Peter. Hello.

-Peter Tomarken. -Yes, Peter Tomarken.

That is -- You are correct, sir.

Hello. Hi, Ed Long. Long time no seeing you, buddy.

Okay, all right. Big bucks today, okay?

-You guys are going down.

-Okay. And if you'd like to follow me, we're ready for you.

-Next batch coming out of the oven.

Catch this lot airing in two weeks.

-Rod Roddy.

Oh! I'm sorry. -Ow!

-Michael!

-Ow!

-You got me with the Whammy.

-Okay, just this way.

-Bill, you guys ready for the next one?

Betatonic VHS tapes.

Keep your most precious memories safe in one place forever.

-Oh, they're just throwing us in the deep end, huh?

-Perfect. Right.

-I'm glad my wife packed me an extra jacket.

-Hey, you sure I look okay with the --

-Bill? You hear that?

♪ Da-na-na-na na-na na-na ♪

♪ Da da da-da-da da da-da da ♪

-All right.

Oh, there's my boy.

-♪ Da-da da-da da-da da da da-da-da-da da-da ♪

-Chuck, you want two scoops or one?

-Listen, I'm lactose intolerant. Thank you very much, sir.

-All right, everyone set?

All right, let's have some fun.

-Peter on his mark?

All right, we'll begin in five, four...

-Three, two.

-You ready?

-Always. -Big smiles! Come on!

-Today, these three players are after big bucks,

but they'll have to avoid the Whammy

as they play the most exciting game of their lives.

From Television City in Hollywood,

it's time to press your luck.

And now the star of "Press Your Luck,"

Peter Tomarken!

-Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Rod, thank you, audience,

and thank you to you viewers at home.

And welcome to the most Vegas game in America.

-This guy.

-He's just busting our balls. He doesn't mean anything by it.

-He's here to look pretty, not to have opinions.

Ready three. -Go three.

-Because today is the final game

of our big Home Player Spin.

- Boo, boo, boo.

-Yes, yes, it really is very sad,

but at least good old Billy of Greenville, Kentucky,

won himself a trip... -Ready three.

-Go three. -...in Hawaii!

So let's meet our three contestants vying

for the big bucks today.

11,516 buckaroos yesterday, Ed.

-Yesterday? It feels like just 15 minutes ago, Peter.

- Well, you got your church vans, Ed,

but let me ask you,

what are you going to do with the rest of the money, huh?

Are you going to buy a bunch of E-cup brassieres?

-Well, no, I definitely won't be doing that, Peter.

I'm not sure what I'll do.

I can still hardly believe it.

-Well, believe it, baby.

Let's hope you add to that today.

-Thank you.

-Our next contestant is Michael Larson.

Welcome, Michael, from Lebanon, Ohio.

-Yes, sir.

-And, uh -- And what do you do there

in Lebanon, Ohio, Michael?

-Oh, I drive an ice cream truck.

And I --

But I'm hoping to make enough money

so that I can take next summer off.

-And -- And -- And, uh -- And who do we have

watching at home in Lebanon today, Michael?

-That would be my little girl, Susie, watching.

And the most beautiful, prettiest girl in all the world,

my wife, Patricia.

-The most beautiful woman in the world?

Michael, you should have warned me.

I --

-Where do you guys find these people?

-What can I say, Arnold? Crazies come to me.

It's a blessing and a curse.

-Yeah, I get it. -Finally, Janie Litras...

-Rough around the edges. -...a dental hygienist

-from San Bernardino. -And clout.

-Clout. -Yeah, that's right.

-Let's stop talking. -I work for a crazy

Polish dentist who's been known to booze with his patients

before operations to calm down a little.

-Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

You all know how it goes.

You buzz in with the correct answer to the trivia question,

you get three spins.

If you agree with the correct answer, one spin.

Incorrect answers, well, no spins, of course.

Okay, let's get right to it, folks.

Crow's-feet are facial lines around the eyes

that we get from squinting.

According to a study, at what age --

Janie? -40?

-On average, is it 30, 40, or 50?

Ed? -40.

-Michael? -40, yeah.

-That is right. It is 40. It is 40.

Janie gets three spins. Ed and Michael each get one.

And that's nothing that I have to worry about at my age, right?

I mean, I'm not a day over 25, so...

All right, next question.

You probably have president FDR in your pocket

right now because his likeness --

-Uh, $50 bill?

-His likeness appears on the head side of what American coin?

-Slow your roll, buddy.

-Ed. -Ah, he's just nervous.

-Well, I don't have any $50 bills in my pocket

right now like Michael, Peter, so I'm gonna say dime.

-Janie? -Me too.

-It is the dime.

-Just have fun with it.

-I thought you told your boy to study his trivia, Bill.

-Those who sailed in the wooden shoe were Wynken,

Blynken, and --

Ed? -Nod.

- Nod. Michael? - Uh, Nod.

-Janie? -Nod.

-Yes, it's Nod. That is right.

What member of the wedding party

is responsible for giving the check to the clergyman?

Michael? -It's the best man.

-Ed, he says it's the best man. What say you?

-A pastor really should know this one, shouldn't he, Peter?

-He should know it.

-I'm going to say the best man.

-Janie. -Best man.

-Yes, it's the best man. -Whoo.

-Michael gets three spins.

We'll cozy up with you know who

and see if we can't turn those spins into big bucks.

-Big bucks. -Right after this.

-No Whammies.

- And we're out. Back in 60.

-60, okay. Um...

-This is fun, right? -Yeah, real good.

Um, hey, could -- could I go make a phone call real quick?

-Oh, phones are prohibited during tapings.

Standards and practices.

But if you'd like to stretch your legs or...

-This adrenaline has me itchy.

Do you think I have time to do a lap?

-Well, you have 60 seconds.

-Todd. -Oh, thank you.

-Careful.

Whitman.

-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.

Bill. -Thank you.

-You're welcome. -Did I miss the spins?

-Oh, no, ma'am, just in time.

-Here. I remember what you like. -Oh, thank you, honey.

-You're welcome.

-You're late. -Don't tell Kauffman.

Some old guy and his wife over at "Price"

snuck a newspaper into the audience.

-Did they walk away with anything good?

-They weren't even contestants.

-All right, team, we're back in

five, four... -Five, four, three, two.

-Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."

You know what time it is, folks.

I'd like to introduce you

to my much edgier costar, the big board.

Now, the big board is filled with money,

a couple of surprises here and there,

including a dreamy stay

at the iconic Fairmont Resort in Hawaii.

But be careful of the Whammies,

because they'll take you right back down to zero.

Now, remember, you can pass your spins

at any time during your turn.

The player with the lowest score

after the trivia round gets to go first.

Michael, that's you.

Oh. I think I'm ready.

- Hey!

Smile! "Big bucks! Big bucks! No Whammies!"

- Oh. Right.

Big bucks, big bucks, come on.

Stop!

- $2,000.

Michael, now, do you want to -- you wan to pass your spins,

or do you want to keep going? -I'll keep going, Peter.

-Okay. -Come on.

No Whammies. Big bucks.

Stop!

-Wow. Another $1,500, Michael.

What do you want to do, Michael?

Do you want to -- you want to go again?

-Keep going. -Okay, he's going to go.

Let's go, let's go.

Stop! Oh!

-Ah, the Whammy.

-Shit. Fuck.

-Whoops.

Can we say that? Is that PG?

Can we say that? -Fuck.

-Can we say "shit" on CBS, Bill?

-I can't fix that in post, boss.

-Okay, we gotta go again.

Let's remind our contestants to watch their mouths.

-Travis! -Charles, shut the fuck up.

-Who's Travis?

-Come on, guy, come on.

-All right, resetting again to the Whammy reaction,

and let's all remember to watch our language.

Guy? Guy in the middle? This is daytime.

-Sorry, habit.

-Wash your kids' mouths with dish soap...

-Taking it again. -...for less swear words.

-Three, two.

-Tough luck there, Michael, but you'll get them next round.

For now, you're down to zero.

Okay, Ed, it's your turn to take on the big, beautiful board.

You ready? -Well, I am ready for it, Peter.

-Let's go, big bucks.

-Come on, we want to see some big bucks!

Big bucks! Yeah!

-No Whammies, no Whammies! Stop!

-We did it last time, and we can do it again.

And stop!

-Come on, give me big bucks!

Stop! -Stop!

-Stop!

-And...stop!

Whoo-hoo!

-And now pull into the lead as we head into our next trip.

Stay tuned.

-And we're out. That's 90.

Can we get makeup, please?

Makeup for Peter.

-I don't sweat, I glow.

-Bathroom? -What?

-Yes, I got to move.

-Me too. This coffee really got me going.

-Yeah, same.

We should all go to the bathroom.

-We'll be right back... -Okay, it's right this way.

The men's are on the right, and ladies --

-Thanks, Sylvia.

-I-I thought you had to go.

-No, I know what you said about standards and practices and all,

but I'm an idiot,

and in all the rushing around today and all the hoopla,

I just -- I-I forgot to call my little girl on her birthday.

-Wow. -Yeah.

It's 3:30 where she is,

so she must have just finished cartoons, and, uh...

Please, I'm just kind of freaking out.

-Oh. I really can't.

The rules, yeah, I know. -Yeah, yeah.

-But I just --

I wouldn't even ask if it didn't mean everything.

Imagine if your daddy didn't call you on your special day.

-Bill found me where they find

all great game-show personalities --

wearing a mouse costume on Hollywood Boulevard.

Isn't that right, Rod? Isn't that right?

-That's correct, Peter. -See? That is correct.

-Come on, come on.

-Hello. No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message after the tone.

- Uh, you know, hey!

Today's the day. You need to pick up the phone.

So if you can be close by the phone, I would really --

-Hey, come on.

-Shit! Fuck me!

I'm sorry. I didn't --

-Oh, um, everyone back to set.

-Nervous tic?

-Oh, I'm quitting smoking.

-Good for you. Sorry about the Whammy.

-Huh? -Wha-wha! The Whammy.

-All part of the game, right?

At least I get to go first this next round.

Bigger prizes, bigger Whammies.

-Enjoy, and big bucks, as they say.

Well, that certainly was a sobering 90 seconds, wasn't it?

-Four, three...

-Big smile, smile, smile, smile!

Yeah.

-And we're back with round two, folks.

Bigger prizes, bigger Whammies.

Now let's get right to it.

Now, the player with the lowest amount of money

from round one gets to go first.

Michael, that -- -That's me.

-Yes, that is you, Michael.

- All right.

Okay. All right, now.

Let's see those big bucks.

Big bucks!

Stop!

-$4,000 and a spin!

-Gonna keep going. I'm going. -Okay.

All right, he's gonna go, he's gonna go.

-Stop!

-$5,000 and a spin! -Nice.

-Uh, Michael, you want to -- you want to pass,

or you want to keep going? -Oh, I'm going to keep going.

I'm going. -Okay, here we go.

-Alright.

Stop!

-$4,000 and a spin! -Wow!

-Whoo! -Michael, you're on a roll!

-Again, let's go again. -Michael, you're up to $13,000.

Now, do you want to -- you want to go again?

-I said again!

-Okay, he wants to go again.

-Stop!

-$16,000, Michael Larson!

What are you thinking, Michael? That's a lot of money.

-Are we all seeing this? -I said again.

-Quite a roll he's on.

-You should know better than to doubt me by now.

-He's really getting up there.

-Lady Luck is on his side.

- Big bucks.

Stop! Whoo!

-I just can't believe this.

Okay, what do you want to do?

-Oh, uh, keep going. -You -- You want to keep going?

Okay, we're going to -- we're going to keep --

we're going to keep going.

Michael wants to keep going.

-This is what we want, right?

-He's got nerves of steel, this guy.

-Stop!

-Wow!

-Okay. -What do you want to do?

-I want to keep going, Peter.

Stop!

-Michael Larson, that is $19,000.

$19,000, Michael.

-$21,000 is the highest we've had, right?

-That's if you don't hit a Whammy.

Michael, I want you to think about this.

-Fucking pass, man.

-I'm going to press my luck. I want to keep going.

-Okay, he's -- he's -- he's going to go.

Michael's gonna go.

-Stop. Whoo!

-Holy shit! -Record, record, record.

Uh, go to the thing.

-Record breaker!

-$24,000 makes you our biggest winner to date, Michael.

-Okay, so he's a -- he's a record breaker.

-I got to ask you. -Okay, now pass it.

-Think about this.

$24,000 is a lot of money, Michael.

Are going to go? What are you going to do?

Are you done, Michael Larson?

-Don't stop! Come on, you got this!

-No, no, you're gonna go?

-What's wrong with this guy?

-Well, biggest winner, biggest loser.

Either way, I don't write the checks.

Don't tell Kauffman.

-Stop! Whoo! -$4,000 and a spin.

Michael Larson, that was terrific.

$28,000!

-Whoo!

Yes, again! Again, again!

-He's going to go!

-Commercial in 15.

-Tell Junior to bring me Peter.

-In here?

-Where the hell else?

-We'll be right back to watch Michael Larson

take the name of this game to heart

right after these messages.

-Four, three, two, one, and we're out.

That's a two.

-Wow. Hey, hot hands, that was pretty cool.

-Hey. Bill wants to talk to you.

-Do you know what for? -No, I have no idea.

-Bill, is everything good up there?

-Can you stop smiling just so I can get in your creases?

-Oh, I'll try. -All right.

-So dinner tonight, ladies, on me.

Ed?

-You know, I, uh -- I don't know if our boyfriends

would be too happy about that.

-They're the jealous type, all of them.

-But, you know, you make it to $50,000,

I think they could look the other way.

Yeah, well, easy, then.

Just cancel your plans, then.

-$50,000.

I bet your wife won't mind you coming home with that, huh?

-Hmm.

-$28,000 begs to differ with you, Mr. Carruthers.

-Well, Peter, something is, um...

-What? -Something's off with him.

-What, you think he's shitty? -We don't think he's --

-No, no, he's just not playing the fucking game right.

-He's got a loose nut or something.

-He's not computing the risks, Pete.

-Yeah, well, it seems to be working out pretty well for him so far.

Besides, what do you want me to do about it?

I mean, I'm a little rusty, but...

-Oh, for fuck's sake. You've got to scare him.

-Well -- -With -- With the chances.

-All right, look, look. We love the guy, right?

And we want him to go home a winner, but this is enough.

-All right, can we have all our contestants back

into places, please? -Ah!

My shin! Fucking jerk!

-Oh, shit. Shit! I'm sorry.

-Three, two...

-And we're back with an unbelievably exciting,

tense game of "Press Your Luck,"

where Michael Larson's winnings continue to grow

despite the formidable odds stacked against him.

Now, Michael, I have seen a lot of lucky streaks in my day,

but no one, and I mean no one,

has ever been as dumbly brave as you.

Now, the mathematicians up in the booth

are giving me six-to-one odds, Michael.

That means you push it six more times,

one of them is bound to be a Whammy.

Now, we'd hate to see you lose it all, Michael, am I right?

- Go for it, Michael!

-Well, that's one man's opinion.

Michael, what do you want to do?

Do you want to spin and risk losing it all?

It's a lot of money, Michael.

It's a lot of money.

-What the fuck is going on?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, let -- let me think about it.

Um...

You're right. You're right, Peter.

That's a lot of money.

-It's a lot of money, Michael. -Yeah.

I think you got to spin it to win it.

I'm here to win it, and I want to play,

and I say I'm going to go again.

-I'm going to go again. -Fantastic.

I tried to warn him. Close your eyes, everybody.

Michael's going streaking. -Todd.

Give me a walkie.

- Stop!

-Chuck, uh, buddy, could you switch over to two?

-Okay, Michael, what are you going to do?

-I'm going to spin again.

-Okay, he's gonna spin. -Bill?

-I think I got played. -Stop!

-I'm sorry, can you say that again?

My volume is really low.

-Damn it, Chuck, just find out who the fuck this guy is.

-Unfortunately, that's above my pay grade, Bill.

-Stop! -Well, then, uh,

we might just have to change your title, then.

-I got to ask you to think about this.

It's a lot of money, Michael. Are you going to go to?

What are you going to do?

Huh, do you want to -- you want to keep going?

-Okay, Todd, I'm driving.

-Oh, I can do it.

-That wasn't meant to be a conversation.

-Thank you for calling the audition hotline

for "Press Your Luck."

If you would like to take our trivia quiz, please press one.

If you would like -- -Fucker.

-And sometimes, I drive an ice cream truck

during the summer, when I need to.

Huh?

-Can I help you?

-Oh, Jim. Hey, how you doing, man?

I'm just, uh...

-Can I...help you?

-Whoo! Whoo! -Unbelievable.

-Something's wrong. Don't spiral.

-You think that he's working alone?

-Is anyone listening to me?

-We don't even know that he's doing anything at all.

-I mean, m-maybe we -- we t-take a break

while we figure things out. -Oh, no. You can't do that.

You got to let him play without interference.

Innocent until proven guilty. -All right.

-The law remains, even in the studio.

-You going to go again? -Earpiece!

-We might have an earpiece.

-Jesus, he's just itchy.

-Let's take a break for tech.

-I'm going to keep going! Keep going, Peter.

-Yes, now.

And if I find out that any of you are in cahoots

with this fucking guy, I will find you.

-Big bucks, come on!

Stop!

-Unbelievable.

More of the force that is Michael Larson

right after this short break.

-Already?

-And we're out in five, four, three.

- 45 seconds.

-No Sweat A.C.

-Uh, is this Lyle Roberts?

-The one and only. What can I do for you?

-Um, this is, uh...

...Bill.

And I'm a clerk at the Justice Court of Lebanon.

-Okay.

-And, um, I'm calling

because your restraining order came across my desk

against Michael Larson because it's about to, um, time out.

And we were just calling to see

if you wanted to re-- renew the charge.

-Oh, already?

Uh, yeah, we just got back on our feet

after his last Ponzi scheme.

-Sure, sure. Yeah.

We just actually have a few questions, if that's okay?

-Okay. -Could you let us know

if he has violated the -- the order to date?

-No, not to my knowledge.

-Okay, great.

And, um, can you, um, remind us

what the initial charge was for again?

-What did you say your name was again?

-I beg your pardon? -Dude, my copy here

says we still got 16 months

that we don't have to worry about the guy.

Michael, is that you, you fucking loser?

If I see you again, man, I'm going to fucking --

-You going to keep that promise, Michael?

-Huh?

-You said dinner tonight if you hit 50K.

-Oh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah.

Um, you seem nice, but I don't know why I said that earlier.

My wife would kill me.

-Don't worry about it, sweetheart.

You take it all home to her, hmm.

-Do I need any makeup? -What's the use?

He's the only one being seen on-screen.

-He's just a bit of a sweater.

-Do I look like I'm sweating?

Am I sweating now?

- Mnh-mnh.

-All right, please keep it together, everyone.

-All right, my little bunny. Come on, smile!

-My mom says hi and have a good first day.

-Hey, you got your ice cream? Yeah!

-No, Mom, it's different this time.

-Patricia!

I'm gonna get your mommy here.

-Ice cream for breakfast?

-Okay.

-You're living the dream.

-All right, here we go.

-...one of my favorite songs by Waylon Jennings.

-What the fuck? -Amanda, light up my life.

Okay, Amanda, what do you want to do?

You're at $4,500. You have --

-Lily is a veterinarian from Sherman Oaks.

-That's right.

-Wow, that's an interesting job, isn't it?

Uh, what's the most unruly animal

you've ever had in your office?

Cecilia, you're at $750. You have three spins.

What do you want to do?

-Again. -Okay.

Oh, Cecilia, don't go breaking my heart.

Don't break my heart. No Whammies, no Whammies!

-Stop! -$3,000 and a spin!

$3,000 and a spin. $68,500.

How does it feel to own a network, Michael?

-It feels good.

Another spin would feel even better.

-Okay, all right.

-Stop!

-You going to go again? What are you going to do?

-I'm going to go again! I'm going to press my luck!

Stop!

-T-shirts, really? -Uh, yeah. First count's full.

We're heading on to the second episode.

Um, hey, do you think I could talk to you

about something for a second? -Later.

-We're out in three, two...

-How much time's left?

-Oh, there you are. What the fuck you find?

-Watch. -Do not wander off.

-What? What the fuck? -Watch, watch.

Hey, Whitman, can you rewind to the last three spins, please?

-Is this overtime? -Will you just, please?

I said please.

All right, go to Michael Larson's close-up.

Now watch his eyes.

Now watch the board.

-Stop! Whoo!

-Okay, next spin.

Slow it down.

Watch his eyes.

Now watch the board.

Watch his eyes.

Celebrating a little prematurely, don't you think?

And stop.

-Chuck, what the hell am I seeing here?

-Um...

he's memorized Bill's patterns.

-Memorized the patterns?

-Yes. -Aren't they random?

-There are five. -Five?

-Who gives a fuck about how many patterns --

-More than five, at least! Bill, what the fuck?

-Whoa, whoa. Enough. Enough.

The good news is, is that he's cheating.

Well, he's cheating. -He's cheating?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-Oh, Chuck, you are one smart cookie.

And that is why I keep you around.

-I told you he was a fucking creep.

-Yes, yes, you did.

-You guys, I'm so sorry about this.

It's just the nature and the reality of game shows.

Here we are. Have a T-shirt. For you.

-You got to be kidding me. I lost my Saturday for this.

-No, thank you. -Jack.

-Another one.

-Hazel.

-I can wear it to bed, I guess.

-Perfect. -Keep it.

Hey, blow him up with a fucking Whammy.

-Yeah, if only I had the chance.

-Sorry again about that. -Yeah.

-Say, "No Whammies!" -No Whammies.

-So lucky. -Lucky? Well...

Yeah, my take on luck is that luck

is just a good excuse to do nothing

and then hope that an opportunity comes a-knocking.

If you open your eyes and keep your mind wondering,

you'll find that the best opportunities just sprout up

in places that people aren't looking.

Oh, and here's a tip, too.

Stop giving your money to that place.

What you do is you go to a bank,

you sign up, you cash out, close down.

-Sign up, cash out, close out.

Bright kids. I'm going to grab a snack.

I'm burning a lot of calories up there.

Ed, do you want something?

-No, thanks.

-Sit tight, everyone. -Thank you.

-The big guys upstairs say the next episode will begin shortly.

Has anyone seen my Pepto?

-I have not. -Yeah. It's good.

-...to see it. -Yeah, it's my favorite.

They have these carne asada tacos that are extraordinary.

-Oh. -Yeah, yeah.

So what -- what are -- what are you doing this weekend?

-I thought you were going to pick me up on the Bronco.

-Am I going to pick you up? Yeah, yeah.

-Oh, come on.

-Hello?

-Hey, um, you picked up.

Hey, where the heck is --

-No, I didn't realize you'd invited the entire, whole class,

um, but it's her birthday, Patricia.

I should be able to call her.

-No, no. Just, uh...

Well, I've been busy out of town.

Yeah, you know what, Trish?

I'm actually closing a big deal right now.

I'm right smack-dab in the middle of it.

It's going to change everything.

It could change everything for us.

If you give me --

-No, I know.

-No.

-Susie, phone!

-Oh, baby, Susie!

Oh, my Susie baby! Sue.

What kind of cake?

Oh, no. You don't like chocolate, do you?

-I like it now! It's my favorite!

-No. Oh, well, happy birthday, my sweet girl.

Oh, you sound so big.

-Hey, I'm not done! I'm still eating that!

-I miss you. -I miss you, too, Daddy.

I'll save some cake. Are you coming over?

-Yeah, no, I, um...

Hey, you know what? Can you put Mommy back on?

-No, that's mine! Give it back! -Just for --

Hey, Trish? Hey, baby? -Moving to places!

-Ah, shit!

-Oh! Oh.

- You scared me.

My gal's a worrier. -Hmm.

-She, uh, you know, likes me to check in on her.

-Mi-Michael, where have you --

-Hey, there, Ed. Hey, Janie.

-Keep heads turning with Timex.

We'll be watching you.

-Ed, have you seen my grip master?

-No.

-Janie, have you seen it? Janie?

-What? -Have you seen my --

Your -- Your what?

-Grip master.

-I'm glad it's gone.

-No, no, no. I refuse to believe it.

-I don't know what to tell you, Bill.

He's not cheating. -He's counting cards.

-It's not blackjack, Chuck.

Anybody could have memorized five patterns.

-We're back in one. -So -- So what can we do?

-You ride it out. It's Michael's show now,

unless he gives up or slips up, whichever comes first,

then get more patterns.

Who in God's name said five was enough?

-Well, we -- we didn't have the budget.

-Might have cost you less than $65,000.

- Arnie.

-What are you doing?

-Time to call Kauffman.

-No. Are you fucking kidding?

No more calls in or out until we can get ahead of this thing.

-Can I go to the ladies' room at least, Bill?

-I don't know. Can you?

-Whitman, hold.

I'll be right back.

-All right, everyone, we're gonna hold --

-Okay, um, ideas.

-Well, he slipped up before. Maybe he'll slip up again.

-Hey, Bill, Peter wants to talk to you.

-Tell him to go sit on a duck.

-Fresh out of ducks, Billiam.

But I just want to say thank you for forgetting

the Home Spin today.

If you guys really don't need me, I can go home for the day.

-Right.

-Let's play.

-Okay, you heard it.

Let's play.

-They say there's a first time for everything.

Well, this game is no exception.

This is the first time in the history of "Press Your Luck"

we won't be finishing in our allotted time.

This is Hurricane Michael, an ordinary man from Ohio.

He has, until now, put the network out of $69,500

with no end in sight.

Now, let's pick up where we left off,

with Michael winning and the rest of us wondering

if we'll be working for him by the end of the day.

-What can I say, Peter? I'm feeling really good.

-You've still got two spins, Michael.

You couldn't give those spins away.

What -- What are you going to do?

-Again! -Of course, he's going to go.

Okay.

-Come on, big bucks!

Stop!

-Oh, my...

-Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

-He's going, he's going. He's going.

-What's -- What's wrong?

-That sound means it's time for our final Home Player Spin.

Now, our lucky home player, and, Michael,

they are indeed lucky to be paired with you,

will get whatever amount you land on.

Now, Michael, why don't you pick up that card

right there in front of you and tell us who you're playing for?

-Hmm.

-Who's the lucky guy or gal? Michael?

-Lyle Roberts from...

Cleveland, Ohio.

-From Ohio! A couple of Buckeyes!

From one Ohioan to another.

Well, you wouldn't happen to know Lyle, would you, Michael?

You guys hang out together?

-Ohio is a very big state, Peter.

-Touché.

Well, Lyle Roberts, this one is for you.

Okay, let's get it.

-Stop!

-A trip to the five-star luxury Fairmont Resort, Hawaii.

Lyle Roberts, you will receive the equivalent of that.

Okay, Michael, you still got this one spin.

What are you gonna do with it? -Oh, wait, wait.

-Holding. -Did somebody move the light?

-The light? What -- What light?

-There's a light directly in my eyes.

-No, no. -Do you see that?

In the middle there.

-Did somebody move the light?

-Nobody moved the light. The lights are fixed.

-I'm going to take a lap. -Nobody is leaving.

-This is just about ridiculous. -We'll get someone

to look at the light. Nobody move.

-Just get somebody to look at the light, all right?

-We're not wasting any more time. Janie!

-What the fuck did he say? -The light?

-What light? -Someone get eyes on that.

I just want to get today over with.

-What did I say? -Sorry, D,

but I-I've got a crew who would like to get some sleep

before coming back to the studio tomorrow.

-That's assuming you all have jobs to come back to, right?

-Ron! -It has gone to the dogs.

-I'm, uh -- I'm sorry she pulled you away

from whatever you were -- -$70,000.

That's like two salaries, isn't it?

Well, so we got a fucking dud.

Well, I guess that's the first time

in all the time we've worked together.

-I guess it only takes one dud

to find a flaw in the system.

Five patterns, Bill?

-Hey, it's not my game, it's this fucking guy.

-I don't know what to tell you.

Heads are going to roll for this.

Who let him in?

-Um...

Well, he, uh --

Uh...

-Captain going down with the ship?

-No, Chuck Turner. -Oh.

-Chuck, yeah, he -- he -- he's the one who handles casting.

-Chuck, that's right. Chuck.

Let's get Chuck up here.

-Right.

-Um, can you, uh...

-You have to go back. -No sorry. Why?

Because he has nothing to be sorry for.

-Hey, guys, I just need it quiet, okay?

We're about a half-hour past where we should be.

-Who the hell is this guy, anyway?

You guys are giving him special treatment.

No, no, we're not.

I bet Junior would love to find out you let him use the phone.

-Junior, you know what? I'm out with Janie.

-Whatever.

-What's going on?

-They're fucking with me.

Lyle Roberts.

-Well, who is it?

-Somebody who...

was a real ass to me.

-I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

-No.

No, it's not.

-Are you doing something wrong?

Just take a deep breath. -Yeah.

-Most times when I feel like someone's watching me,

turns out to be my own shadow.

-I don't have eyes on Chuck.

No, we can look for him.

-Junior! -Does anyone have eyes on Chuck?

-Well...

Oh, I'm gonna do what you said. I'm gonna take a breath.

-Thank you for your patience, folks.

Please sit tight and don't wander off.

-Michael! -I said please sit tight.

-The phone was taken in for maintenance.

You must have a real nice VCR, huh?

Man, but you forgot about the consequences, Michael.

Careful.

Is this the example that you want to set for your daughter?

It'd be a real pity if you got held up here in L.A.

Hmm.

Tell me, Michael.

Who the fuck were you calling, anyways?

Drive safe, Michael!

Ah.

-Oh, excuse me, sir.

Sir?

Hey!

My truck!

Somebody broke in.

What in the --

Oh, hi.

Sorry to bother you. Have you been here all day?

-No, I just got called in. They needed backup.

-Hey. -Well, my truck --

-You got the call, too?

-Yeah, they sounded pretty desperate.

-Must be a big scene. -Yeah.

-Kind of quiet.

-Suspect --

-Suspect -- -Suspect is approaching.

-Suspect is approaching. -Suspect is approaching.

-Suspect is approaching.

-Kind of quiet.

-Hey, hey, buddy!

Right behind you!

-Hey!

-Remember it all with Iomax, iodine supplements for memory.

Memorize the patterns for your favorite game show.

And now your host, Leon Hart.

-All right, folks, we have a great show for you tonight.

I want to --

Well, hello. -Oh, shit.

I-I think I got turned around.

-Yet you are right where you're supposed to be.

Funny how that happens, huh?

Your seat's right there.

-Hello.

-Oh, come on, people. It's okay.

He doesn't bite. I think.

Do I know you from somewhere, Michael?

Not "America's Most Wanted," right?

-Boy, I hope not.

-Where you coming in from?

-Uh, Lebanon.

It's a little city in Ohio.

-Capital O-H...

-I-O. That's right.

-That's a good long ways away to land here,

gracing our humble stage tonight,

but no one ever comes to Hollywood by mistake,

and no one ever calls from Vegas just to say hello.

What's got you running from Ohio?

-Uh, well, you know, it's, uh...

It's funny.

Uh...

All I want to do is have breakfast with my family,

but the only way that I can do that is if...

I'm on their television set,

if it's tuned to the right channel, at the right time,

on the right day.

I don't know.

Maybe this time I've pushed it too far.

I went 3,000 miles away to get closer to my little girl,

but now it's -- now I'm just 3,000 miles away.

Maybe that's for the best.

The mess I've made.

All these months of hard work, though,

they -- they were for her.

Trying.

In the only way this brain knows how to work...

I'm trying.

I think I may have needed a bit more luck

in this town than I thought.

-You must be doing something right, son,

because no one ends up in my chair for no reason.

-My, um -- My Patricia, she -- she just goes gaga over you.

-Well, your Patricia has got excellent taste.

You know, I -- -Michael!

-Well, if I didn't lose my job yesterday,

I'm sure as hell going to lose it today, so thank you for that.

-Suspect is on red leather.

-Sylvia, you found him? -Yeah. No, I have him.

Um, yeah, he turned right around.

We're -- We're on our way back now. Thanks.

Just please, please, please, for me,

just stay in your seat until the end of the episode.

-We want Michael! We want Michael!

- Wow!

Bravo, bravo!

-Chuck's a sucker for these kind of things.

-Jack is back.

-You're crazy about this guy. -Hell no.

-They love you, Michael. They love you.

-Can you turn the applause light off?

-I'm not pressing the button.

-Just fucking mute it. -Okay.

-I thought you ran a tighter ship than this, Bill.

-Well, I thought we took care of our little ice cream man problem

organically, but I guess we weren't so lucky.

Ron, welcome to the party, sir.

-Chuck, I'm surprised you're still with us.

-Bill, what's he talking about?

-Uh, Chuck, we have a problem.

Um, somebody didn't vet this guy.

Um... -It's a shame.

-Charles.

I'm -- I'm sorry.

-You guys want to hear the fucking truth, huh?

-Wait, are we being fucking idiots?

I mean, this -- this guy's about to be a national hero.

The little guy who comes and takes down the man.

I mean, that -- that's a narrative

we should embrace in a big, fat bear hug.

I mean, if Michael's making money off us,

we should do the same.

Yeah, we'll -- we'll do it better.

You know, we lean in,

promote the hell out of this show.

Michael Larson, the luckiest man in America.

-Yeah, CBS makes Michael's dreams come true.

-Exactly.

-Oh, you're thinking like an executive.

-I mean, that -- that's the American dream, right?

I mean, that's why people watch game shows.

-Better watch your back, Bill. Todd's coming for your job.

-Well, after all, I-I taught him everything he knows.

-Yeah, get me Carl Johnson at GGT.

Tell him that we are going to have

bigger ad space than the Olympics.

-You may have saved my skin with that one.

-Yeah, now.

-Whoo!

Oh, big bucks.

Stop!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Let's go! -He's going!

He's going, he's going.

-This is Lyle.

-Sorry, I have the wrong number. -One second.

Cut that down, Patricia. Cut that down, please.

Hello?

Patricia. -Patricia?

-Cut that down, please.

-Wahoo! -$97,750!

-Michael, do I even need to ask?

-Let's go, baby, let's go.

- Okay.

-Stop!

-Again!

-You just made it all the way to $100,000, Michael,

more than anyone in the history of game shows.

-Peter, I never would have believed --

-Well, believe it, believe it.

Now, Michael, we have someone special on the phone

who I would imagine is very, very proud of you.

-Hello? -Uh, h-hello!

-Hello? -Yes, am I speaking to

the most beautiful woman in the world?

-What?

-Patricia, it's -- it's Peter.

-Who?

It's -- It's Peter Tomarken.

-Who?

-Uh, from "Press Your Luck."

-What the fuck?

-Calling you from CBS... -What is this?

-...in Los Angeles. -Uh...

-I'm here with -- I'm here with your husband, Patricia.

-Michael, what's he talking about?

-Trish, I'm -- I'm on the show.

I'm finally doing it. I'm winning.

-He's winning. Not only is he winning, Patricia --

-Jesus, Michael, what is wrong with you?

You've got to stop.

You're making me absolutely crazy.

-Let me, uh, call you back later, Trish.

We can -- We can talk --

-I don't want a TV character.

I want normal.

Sign the papers and move on, Michael.

You really just don't know when to stop, do you?

-It seems that we've lost connection.

Um...

I'm -- I'm sorry.

I-I don't -- I don't -- I don't know what to say.

Um...

Come on, Michael.

Mike.

Michael.

-Fuck you, Peter!

-Yeah, fuck you!

-Excuse me. Excuse me just a second.

-Hey! Please.

Please sit down. Sir!

- Fuck you, too!

-Bill, if you're going to use me as a scapegoat,

I'd like a little warning.

-You should have run that by me.

You're jeopardizing all your jobs.

-This does not come from me.

I have no idea who would --

You? -Me? Me?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I did exactly what Junior told me to do.

-Junior, who authorized that patch?

-I got a fucking note, Bill.

I thought it was you.

-See? -Fucking circus.

-Okay, okay. It doesn't fucking matter who made the call.

Let's fix it. Pretend it never happened.

Sylvia, I need you to get Michael some water

and back on set.

Are we ordering dinner? -Uh, don't worry.

-Okay.

You copy?

-Todd, uh, we have a problem.

He's not coming out. -I want a phone now!

-I'll go get the pastor.

-Todd. -Uh, no, no, no, no.

This is my show. I'll deal with him.

-Mike, I know it's been a hard day for you.

I don't think any of us could really know the depth

of what you're going through. - Okay.

Cynthia, what's the word? -Um, it's Sylvia.

Uh, he's locked himself inside.

-But -- But knowing you, Michael,

you'll be able to get out of this one, too.

-I'm a fuck-up.

-Michael, it's Mr. Carruthers.

You are anything but a fuck-up, my friend.

-I'm here, Mike.

-I thought I could change for her,

but my worst idea yet.

Should have never come here.

The whole place is a lie.

-Hey, you're doing the best you can with what you got,

and it seems pretty darn good to me.

-Ed, you heard her. She just wanted normal.

-When she fell for you, she fell for anything but normal.

-Okay.

Michael Larson.

-Hi.

-Oh, boy, you fucked me, Michael.

No, I guess you know by now that we know what you're doing.

-Well, what am I doing, then?

- Michael.

-What?

-You memorized the fucking game, Michael.

-Is that cheating?

Oh, well, I would just rather get my money

and get on the road, you know?

-Oh, no, I-I understand that.

But, uh, Michael --

Um...

Michael, have a seat.

Um, Michael, there --

there is no money without finishing the show.

I mean, you must know that.

Listen, you had us squirming there for a minute or 20,

but, um -- but now we, me, CBS,

we want you to win, because you're a star.

Oh, yeah, I saw it yesterday, but I didn't --

I didn't know it was going to strike me

like a fucking truck today.

But you are a star, and you're about to be seen

on every television screen in America.

National hero.

I mean, they're talking T-shirts,

coffee cups, talk shows.

Michael Larson, luckiest man in America.

My friend, you are about to take off,

and -- and we want to be the wind beneath your wings.

And it all starts with you going back out there and winning.

-T-shirts?

-Yeah, T-shirts, you name it.

So, Michael, you just go out there and you push it

until we say stop.

-Mike, is everything okay in there?

-Um...yeah, I'm just -- we figured it out.

I do want to, um, talk to her first.

-Of course. Just take your time.

Get yourself ready, and we'll see you back onstage.

-Bill.

-Charles.

-Some people are using this for personal calls.

Here.

-Are you coming up?

-After you.

-Hey, what the hell is this, gentlemen, Shangri-la?

Fucking television studio. Let's go, let's go.

We almost got in a little bit of trouble there, didn't we?

We sure did.

We sure did.

Motherfucker.

-Huh.

-11:00 a.m., here we come.

Okay, uh, let's get into our places.

It's, uh, time to make some money.

-That's my cue.

-Be good to our boy out there.

Todd, you want to drive?

-Uh...

-All right.

Make me a drink?

-Guys, the ice cream man is back.

-Why ice cream man?

-It's because he's an ice cream man, Ron.

He's a fucking ice cream man.

-Fantastic.

-You got this, Michael!

-We love you, Michael!

- We love you, Michael.

-All right, cozy in, boys. -Everyone quiet!

-This could be a profitable night.

-Five, four, three.

-Michael Larson, the man who cannot be contained.

Well, Michael, here we are.

I think I know the answer, but I have to ask.

With one spin still on the board, what are you going to do?

You know what? I think I'm --

I think that I'm going to pass my turn to my --

to my good friend Ed Long.

Wow.

-No. -What?

I thought you -- I thought you took care of this, Carruthers.

-Son of a bitch!

-Ed, uh, you're up next.

If Michael can do it, you can do it.

-Well, I'm ready for it, Peter.

-Big bucks, no Whammies! Big bucks.

And...

-Oh! That's okay. Janie, you're up.

-Come on, give me big bucks, big bucks!

No Whammies! And stop.

-$750. $750 and a spin. -Whoo!

-Okay, you going to go again, Janie?

-I'm going to go again, Peter. -Let's go again.

-It's giving big bucks.

-Michael Larson back in command.

Michael? Janie just passed her last spin to you, Michael.

You have to spin it one final time.

- Don't fuck it up, jerk.

Do we have to air it?

-Just once. -Just once.

-All right, just once.

And then it's dead and buried for good.

-Okay, let's see if Michael knows

how to jump off this speeding train.

Michael, I'm going to close my eyes.

But you, please don't close yours!

-Stop!

-Well, yesterday feels like just 15 minutes ago, Peter.

-Well, you got your church vans, Ed, but let me ask you,

what are you going to do with the rest of the money?

Are you going to buy a bunch of E-cup brassieres?

-Uh, no, I definitely won't be doing that, Peter.

I'm not sure what I'll do.

I can still hardly believe it.

-Well, believe it, baby.

Let's hope you add to that today.

Now, our second contestant is Michael Larson.

Welcome, Michael, from Lebanon...

-Oh, my goodness.

Who is that?

-Daddy. -Yeah.

-Oh... -Come here.

-...I drive an ice cream truck,

but I'm hoping to make enough money here

so I can take next summer off.

-And who do we have watching at home

today in Lebanon, Ohio, Michael?

-That's right, I got my daughter, Susie, watching.

And --

-Seriously, Trish?

You ready for school?

-I want to watch Daddy.

-I know.

-No, no. We're late. -You're late for school.

-Let's go. -Come on.

-Go ahead.

-No fair.

I'm sick, Mom!

-Love you, sweetie.

Have a good day at school.

...to calm down.

Well, everyone needs a drink

before they have dental surgery.

Wouldn't you agree? Yes.

Uh, okay, folks, you know how it goes.

Buzz in with the correct answer to the trivia question,

you get three spins.

You agree with the correct answer, one spin.

Incorrect answers, well, no spins, of course.

All right, let's get right to it.

What member of the wedding party

is responsible for giving the check to the clergyman?

-The best man. -Michael?

-That's the best man.

-Uh, Ed, he says the best man. What say you?

-A pastor should know this one, shouldn't he, Peter?

-Yes, he should know this, Ed.

-I'm going to say best man.

-Janie, is it the best man? -Yes.

-Yes, it's the best man!

Michael gets three spins.

-Stop!

-$16,000, Michael! -Whoo!

-$16,000. What are you -- What are you going to --

-Again, again! Come on, now! -Gonna go.

-All right! -Listen to me,

I hate to throw you off your rhythm,

but this is your sixth spin, Michael.

Now, the people in the booth are telling me

the forecast is looking Whammy.

-Come on, Michael.

-Stop! -Oh, my...

Okay, Michael. Here we go.

Michael, I'm going to close my eyes,

but you, please don't close yours!

Stop!

-That is the game!

A washer and dryer valued at $800.

The unrefuted, luckiest man in America.

What are you going to do, Michael?

-I don't know. I don't know. We'll see.

-We all hope and wish the best of luck for you, Michael,

you and your -- and your family.

-I understand that yesterday was your daughter's birthday.

-Yes. -What happened?

-I didn't have any money really to buy her anything.

She's -- She'll get something now, very nice.

-Like perhaps the state of Tennessee.

And what did you used to do, Michael?

What kind of work? -I've been an air-condition--

whoa -- air-conditioning mechanic,

and I drove an ice cream truck for about 10, 12 years.

But I'm not this summer. No way!

-Evidently not!

But you have won at least I think three times

more than anybody's ever won on this show.

Congratulations. Spend it wisely.

And get your daughter a lovely birthday gift.

-Okay, thank you. -It's been a real treat.

Ed, you're leaving with $11,516 --
