Idea #75

Ron and the news team vie against Wes Mantooth and his news team on Family Feud (see Idea #74). Ron and Wes come up to "face off."

Richard Dawson
Before we begin, Ron, which charity is Channel Four News playing for?

Ron
We will be playing for UNICEF and all that they do around the world.

Richard Dawson
Very good. And you Wes?

Wes Mantooth
The San Diego YMCA.

Ron laughs. Wes looks at him. Ron coughs into his fist.

Ron
I'm sorry.

Wes Mantooth
Do you have a problem with our charity?

Ron
No. I was wondering, though, how many Nobel Peace Prizes the San Diego YMCA has won.

Richard Dawson
Gentlemen, let's save it for the game.

Ron
It's saved, Dawson.

Richard Dawson
Good. Now shake hands?

Both are involved in a death stare.

Richard Dawson
Ok, remember this is for fun and good causes.

Ron
(quietly)
Ours is better.

Wes Mantooth
You know what Burgundy?

Richard Dawson
Guys!
(composes)
Top five answers on the board. Name something that comes in pairs.

Ron and Wes both slap the buzzer. Wes got it in just before.

Richard Dawson
Wes.

Wes Mantooth
Boobs.
(laughs)
No, seriously, socks.

Richard Dawson
I'm sorry. We have to go with your first answer.

Wes Mantooth
I was clearly joking.

Ron
It's Feud Law. Deal with it.

Wes Mantooth
Stay out of this Burgundy!

Richard Dawson
I'm sorry. Show me "boobs."

It shows the board with five possible answers. After a short pause a buzzer sounds and a red "X" appears for the viewing audience. It cuts back to the front podium.

Richard Dawson
Ron, it's your turn.

Ron
Well, on behalf of San Diego newspeople, I want to apologize for my peer's unfortunate answer. I will go with "socks."

Richard Dawson
Show me "socks."

It shows the board with five possible answers. After a pause, the number one answer plate flips to show, "SOCKS           42."

Richard Dawson
The number one answer! Wes, go back to your side and be ready to steal.

Wes Mantooth
But he stole my answer!

Richard Dawson
We have to take your first answer.
(building excitement)
Let's meet the Channel Four News Team!

Ron walks back to his spot at the head of the news team feud station.

Seriously, Round One next time.
