ANNOUNCER: Let's get the game started.
Here's the man with all the answers.
Of course, he's holding all the cue cards.
The host of the Pennsylvania Game, Scott Bruce.
Yes!
My people.
My people.
My people.
Thank you so much.
My lovely studio audience.
Thank you, folks at home, for tuning in.
It's another exciting game.
The Pennsylvania Game we're about to get off and running.
And I can't wait, because I love this panel.
We've got great guests.
Let's meet them right now.
I can't wait!
He, like Jack Nicholson in The Shining, he's back.
Steve Wagner, that is.
He's still at WHP Radio, trying to make people's lives a little bit brighter each day by not showing up for his air shift.
Please say hello to Saint Steve.
[applause] Oh, do we have an interesting one now.
Our next panelist, Pat Rhees, who is, by the way, staff assistant for the Office of Client Development at Penn State, was plucked from the audience at the last minute.
We had an accident.
She's filling in.
She's scared, and we're going to have a great time with her.
Welcome, Pat Rhees.
[applause] And finally, with his towel at hand, his trademark towel at hand, from Langhorne, Pennsylvania, it's the well-rounded comedian.
He has more than a dozen film and television appearances to his credit.
He plays colleges and comedy clubs all around the country and has been the opening act for a number of big names, including Ray Charles and Scott Bruce.
Scott Bruce.
SCOTT BRUCE: Welcome, Jeff Pirrami.
How are you?
How are you?
[applause] I can tell you right now, you people at home, you're going to be missing a lot of fun here in the studio.
We can't wait to get started.
Wendy Williams, give me my first question.
ANNOUNCER: Publishing magnate Walter Hubert Annenberg of Wynnewood founded the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania and has established numerous philanthropic trusts.
Which of the following statements is not true about Walter Annenberg?
A, in 1993, he made the largest single donation to private education in US history.
B, he never plays golf without wearing a pair of his lucky knickers.
C, he founded the magazine Seventeen.
Or D, he served as Ambassador of Great Britain under President Nixon.
SCOTT BRUCE: Walter Annenberg.
Remember, panelists, this question is which one is not true.
Did he make the largest single donation to private education in US history?
Does he never play golf without his lucky knickers?
Did he found Seventeen Magazine?
Or did he serve as Ambassador of Great Britain under President Nixon?
Steve, we'll go to you first.
I don't know.
I mean, I picked B, because I don't think-- I wasn't even aware that he played golf, let alone worn lucky knickers, you know?
The other-- like yes, I knew D, I knew A.
C, I don't know.
So I just, you know, guess.
SCOTT BRUCE: Question between Seventeen and knickers.
Yeah, yeah.
OK. And you went knickers.
You know, any time I get a chance, I go for short pants.
Pat, how about you?
I didn't pick yet.
Was I supposed to pick?
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah, pick now.
JEFF PIRRAMI: OK, don't move.
SCOTT BRUCE: Pat, we'll go to you.
[laughter] I picked C. I thought it said Snickers.
I didn't know what it was.
SCOTT BRUCE: Pat.
C. Seventeen Magazine now.
SCOTT BRUCE: He founded Seventeen Magazine.
Well, I don't know.
The way they were dressed in that picture, and that's kind of a teenage fashion magazine.
I don't think so.
SCOTT BRUCE: He doesn't look like he was ever 17, does he?
No, no.
OK, how about you, Jeffrey?
He founded 117, that guy.
He was old, wasn't he?
I'm going with the Snickers.
I think I picked-- what was Snickers, C?
SCOTT BRUCE: Knickers.
Knickers would be B.
No, I pressed C. SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, C. Seventeen Magazine.
OK. [applause] All right.
We have knickers, and we have Seventeen.
Wendy, what's the right answer?
JEFF PIRRAMI: Come on, Wendy.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is B. Mr. Annenberg doesn't rely on lucky knickers for a good golf game.
It was sharp instincts, not luck, that made Annenberg one of the most successful publishers of all time.
In 1936, Moses Annenberg, Walter's father, purchased and revived the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Walter sold the paper in 1969 after being named Ambassador to Great Britain by President Nixon.
He founded the magazine Seventeen in 1944 and TV Guide in 1953.
Annenberg made headlines in 1993 when he donated a total of $365 million to the University of Southern California, the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University, and the Peddie School, the private prep school he attended in New Jersey.
The donation was the largest single gift ever made to private education in US history.
I'd just like to point out that while Wendy Williams was reading the proceeding, he was wearing, in fact, his own lucky knickers.
[laughter] Wendy, bring me a new question.
JEFF PIRRAMI: So who won that, Scott?
ANNOUNCER: The American printer, journalist, and inventor, Christopher Latham Sholes was born in Mooresburg, Pennsylvania, in 1819.
In 1868, he patented his most noteworthy invention.
Was it the first A, ice box on wheels, B, caricature of Uncle Sam, C, successful typewriter, or D, orthopedic shoes?
SCOTT BRUCE: Christopher Latham Sholes.
The ice box on wheels, the caricature of Uncle Sam, the successful typewriter, or orthopedic shoes?
[dings] Pat?
Definitely A. SCOTT BRUCE: Definitely A. Oh, she's confident.
She knows.
Ice box.
You made it up, didn't you?
I love that, Pat.
That's the way to play the game.
Jeff?
How about you?
She knew that, and I thought she pressed C. SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, you're cheating again.
I was cheating again, and I have a successful typewriter.
SCOTT BRUCE: You went with typewriter.
The IBM Shole typewriter.
SCOTT BRUCE: There you go, OK. Back in '63, when he was wearing knickers.
Go ahead.
See if that works out.
Steve?
Well, I picked D, because obviously if you're going to wear that, you're going to have, you know, an extra special sholes on your on your shoes.
SCOTT BRUCE: Shole shoes.
Shoe sholes.
Shole.
Get it, sholes?
I believe it was a bad pun.
We have three different answers.
Let's see if one of them got it right.
JEFF PIRRAMI: So he don't get work.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, the first successful and practical typewriter.
In 1868, Christopher Latham Sholes, along with Samuel Sole and Carlos Glidden, received a patent for the typewriter.
Sholes later bought out Sole and Glidden and continued over the next 10 years to perfect his invention.
For five straight years, he struggled to market the machine.
But poor health due to tuberculosis led him to eventually sell the rights to Remington Arms Company for $12,000.
The company improved on Sholes' work, and by 1873, put the machine on the market as the Remington Typewriter.
OK. Time to get to know this panel a little bit better, as though we don't know some of them too well already.
I want to know, first of all, Steve Wagner, what is this story?
You've been flirting with sainthood?
I've been following or trying to emulate the good works of Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, Mike Tyson, and just-- [laughter] Doing what I can, in any way, shape, or form.
SCOTT BRUCE: You know, a guy's got to eat.
[laughter] [boos] I think we'll move over to Pat.
Oh, Pat?
Pat?
Oh, what a scary feeling, huh?
Last minute plaque from the audience.
And here he are, you look like you're as comfortable as can be or as cool as a cucumber.
Uh-huh.
[laughter] Is that how I look?
SCOTT BRUCE: You look absolutely fabulous.
And I can't believe you're so well dressed up for the show and everything.
That's last year's Christmas sweater, isn't it?
PAT RHEES: Several years ago.
There you go.
Very good.
Well, you look fabulous.
Thanks so much for helping us out.
Thanks.
Jeff, now in addition to being a comedian-- and by the way, a golfing partner of mine.
A golfing partner.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yes.
But you've also done a number of films.
Tell us a little bit about some of them.
I made that up on my resume.
[laughter] I was trying to get work.
I had to get work.
It's not "was."
The word was I'm dyslexic.
I saw a lot of films.
[laughter] I do know that you're going to Teaneck right after the show, though.
I'm an independent film-- matter of fact, tonight as we speak in Teaneck, New Jersey, I play a Black voodoo witch doctor.
I turned myself white so I can sneak on Wall Street.
It's a great show.
SCOTT BRUCE: We'll definitely-- It's going right to video.
It's going right to video.
Catch that at your video store soon.
[laughter] We're bypassing the movies.
We don't need the money.
Let's continue on with the show.
How about a new question for these people?
ANNOUNCER: The first American steel plant was built in Pennsylvania in 1866 and is one of the few steel plants in operation today.
Where is this plant located?
A, Pittsburgh.
B, Steelton.
C, Johnstown.
Or D, Bethlehem.
SCOTT BRUCE: Man.
Ooh, the first American steel plant in the entire country.
Was it in Pittsburgh, home of the Steelers?
Was it Steelton?
[cheers] Was it Steelton?
Was it Johnstown, my very own hometown?
Or was it Bethlehem?
All great steel towns.
We're going to go to Jeff first on this one.
Jeff, what do you have?
What do I have?
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah, what did you pick?
I pressed D, Bethlehem.
SCOTT BRUCE: Bethlehem.
Because it's somewhere near where you live.
No, because actually, I'm originally from Buffalo, New York.
And we have Bethlehem steel in Buffalo.
So I figure Bethlehem steel.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK. ANNOUNCER: I don't see any Pittsburgh steel in Buffalo.
SCOTT BRUCE: We'll find out.
How about you, Steve?
What do you think?
I just picked Pittsburgh, because I'm from Pittsburgh.
SCOTT BRUCE: And you couldn't pick Buffalo.
JEFF PIRRAMI: Brilliant!
And an excellent answer.
Pat, how about you?
This time, I really think I'm right.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK. And I picked Bethlehem.
SCOTT BRUCE: And you picked Bethlehem.
Uh-huh.
OK. Well, our panelists either think they're right or they guessed.
And in fact, they're all wrong.
JEFF PIRRAMI: Steelton, right?
ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, Steelton.
In May 1866, the Steelton Plant, Steelton, Pennsylvania, became the first plant in America built specifically to produce steel.
During the mid 1800s, steel rails developed in Europe were far superior to the wrought iron rails manufactured in the United States.
Two months after the end of the Civil War, the Pennsylvania Steel Company formed to produce this high quality steel in America.
The Steelton site was chosen as the home for their first factory because of its proximity to railroad lines, the Pennsylvania Canal, and the Susquehanna River.
Today, the Steelton Complex stretches over four miles of the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg and remains the major provider of railroad rails in the United States.
All right, folks.
And by the way, that question was submitted by Donald C. Martin of Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Donald will be receiving a year subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine of Camp Hill.
Thank you very much, Donald.
You folks at home send in your questions, too.
We'd love to have them.
Now, it's time to check our big scoreboard.
And I see by the scoreboard, Steve has one, Pat has zero, Jeff has one.
We have a barn burner here.
[applause] And that means it's time for our first clue of the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Get ready with your pens, here it is.
Lucky Number 13 was born and raised in Pittsburgh in 1961.
Lucky Number 13 was born and raised in Pittsburgh in 1961.
Remember to write that down on the first line.
If you get the answer correct all three lines, you will, in fact, win three points.
And believe me, that comes in very handy at the end of the show.
Everybody seems to have written their notes.
And that means we can move on with the show.
Wendy Williams, bring me a brand new question.
ANNOUNCER: The Museum of Modern Art in New York City is probably the world's most comprehensive repository of modern art.
In 1996, MoMA, as it's often called, opened an $11.2 million center in Hamlin, Pennsylvania.
For what purpose?
A, to establish a film preservation center.
B, to create a training center for artists and sculptors.
C, to establish an artist's hall of fame.
Or D, to preserve and exhibit modern quilt art of rural Pennsylvania.
SCOTT BRUCE: Why, in fact, did MoMA open an $11.2 million center in Hamlin, Pennsylvania?
To establish a film preservation center, to create a training center for artists and sculptors, to establish an artist's hall of fame, or to preserve and exhibit modern quilt art.
Steve, we're back to you.
I've never heard of Hamlin.
But I put down D, because it'd do something stupid like that with quilts.
[laughs] I happen to live right near Hamlin.
It's a lovely town.
Let me change that, then.
SCOTT BRUCE: It's a beautiful place.
We'll go down to you, Pat.
I'm glad he's sitting over there, all right.
I chose B.
[dings] SCOTT BRUCE: B?
That's-- yeah, that's it.
SCOTT BRUCE: Creative training center.
You chose B.
And you feel so confident.
I like that, Pat.
PAT RHEES: I'm losing my confidence.
We'll jump down to Jeff.
Jeff, what do you think?
Is that MoMA or mama?
My mama?
SCOTT BRUCE: That's your mama.
And I'll tell you what, I deer hunt in Hamlin.
Hamlin is up in Hazelton, up in Jessup, up that way.
The pied piper of Hamlin was from-- is it?
SCOTT BRUCE: Meanwhile, what was your answer, Jeff?
Well, I'm taking MoMA mama motion picture artist.
So I take number A. I picked A.
A, you picked.
Film preservation center.
By golly, I don't know.
I think you might be on to something.
Wendy, what's the answer?
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A.
In 1996, the Museum of Modern Art established the $11.2 million Celeste Bartos Film Preservation Center in Hamlin, Pennsylvania.
Because the air there is pure and clean and considered ideal for film preservation.
The center, which contains over 14,000 films, 1,000 videotapes, and various movie related posters, books, and photographs, is located on a wooded 38-acre estate in Hamlin.
Some 50 million feet of film is stored in the refrigerated vaults of this two-building film archive.
Works from every decade of cinema, beginning with Thomas Edison's kinetoscope in 1884, to films by Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese, can be found there.
Among the museum's more famous holdings is the original copy of The Great Train Robbery.
Yes.
You played the train, didn't you?
JEFF PIRRAMI: Yes, I was.
[crowd exclaims] And with that aside, Wendy Williams, take us to a new commercial.
A new question, a new anything.
ANNOUNCER: John Wilkes Booth launched his acting career in 1857 at the Arch Street Theater in Philadelphia.
By 1863, he was earning $20,000 a year as one of the country's best known actors.
When several of his acting friends suggested they go to Western Pennsylvania to begin a joint investment venture, did they, A, form the Dramatic Oil Company, B, established the first funeral parlor franchise, C, start the cosmetic firm that later became Revlon, or D, organize a theatrical talent agency in Pittsburgh?
SCOTT BRUCE: OK. Did John Wilkes Booth's group form the Dramatic Oil Company, establish the first funeral parlor franchise, start the cosmetic firm that later became Revlon, or organize a theatrical talent agency in Pittsburgh?
Pat, we're going to first.
I chose D, the theatrical talent agency.
SCOTT BRUCE: It would make sense.
It would be logical.
I really want to get one right one of these times.
And, you know, I feel in my bones that you're going to soon.
I really do.
Now I feel bad because I choose D. I know how she's such a loser.
[laughs] PAT RHEES: Wait.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
OK, Steve.
How about you?
I didn't pick B because when they shot Booth, no funeral parlor people went to claim the body.
SCOTT BRUCE: Good thinking.
He needs a life-- SCOTT BRUCE: What did you choose?
D. SCOTT BRUCE: D. Because she-- SCOTT BRUCE: Wait, do we have three D's?
What can that mean?
Three D's!
Everybody gets a lottery ticket.
Pass them down, pass them down.
Matching answers.
They all picked three D's.
I'm leaving the show.
I understand.
I can tell you right now, it's a good thing they got the lottery tickets, because-- ANNOUNCER: The answer is A.
When news broke that Edwin Drake hit oil at Titusville, fortune hunters flocked to Western Pennsylvania.
Among them were John Wilkes Booth and several acting friends who arrived in Franklin in early 1864.
They purchased land along the Allegheny River and formed the Dramatic Oil Company.
Although Booth was not an oil man at heart, he made periodic trips to inspect his wells.
He once lodged at McHenry Hotel in Meadville, where the maid who cleaned his room reported finding a note scratched on his window pane.
Quote, "Abe Lincoln departed this life August 13th, 1864, by the effects of poison."
The inscription was dismissed as a drunk's practical joke.
Meanwhile, Booth grew impatient with prospecting, and in the fall of 1864, gave up his oil interests and left Franklin for good.
Eight months later, on April 14th, 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln at Ford's Theater.
The nerve.
A little bit unnerving, the fact that he put that note down and then on the same date or just by the same date, so.
Anyway, let's go back and check our scoreboard.
Steve still has his point.
Pat, still a slow starter, but we know she's coming on.
Jeff is in the lead with two points.
[cheers] That means it's time-- JEFF PIRRAMI: It's time!
For another episode in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Here's clue two.
The golden boy made his big splash in the sunshine state.
Lucky Number 13 was born and raised in Pittsburgh in 1961.
The golden boy made his big splash in the sunshine state.
That, by the way, would be Florida, in case you have trouble with your state nicknames.
JEFF PIRRAMI: Can I change my-- That's called-- that's called a hint.
No changing.
OK, pens are down.
Time to move along.
Wendy Williams, bring me a new question.
ANNOUNCER: Harry T. Burleigh, the eminent African American baritone composer and arranger was born in Erie in 1866.
Best known for his spirituals, Burleigh is recognized for his many contributions to the world of music.
Which of the following statements is not true about Harry Burleigh's career?
A, he set to music poems by Walt Whitman.
B, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is one of his best known compositions.
C, he was the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for music.
Or D, he was a student and associate of Czech composer Anton Dvorak.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK, remember, panelists, which one is not true of Harry Burleigh's career?
Did he set music to the poems of Walt Whitman?
Did he compose Swing Low, Sweet Chariot?
Was he the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for music?
Or he was a student and associate of Czech composer Anton Dvorak?
We are going down to Jeff first.
Dvorak.
What did I press?
B and a number?
SCOTT BRUCE: Yes, you pressed a B. I pressed a B, and that is correct.
SCOTT BRUCE: You're going with Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.
(SINGING) Swing low, sweet chariot I think that was a lot older than him, my friend.
Yeah.
You're going to have trouble from a Black guy.
Because I was in that movie.
I was-- [laughter] Steve, over to you.
Ditto.
SCOTT BRUCE: Ditto.
We have to Swing Lows.
Swing Lows.
They want lottery tickets.
Did she go B?
JEFF PIRRAMI: B, B, B. Uh-oh.
I pressed D, but at least I can remember which one I pressed.
SCOTT BRUCE: There you go.
[laughs] [cheers] JEFF PIRRAMI: Very good, very good.
And for that answer, she gets a lottery ticket.
That's very good.
Wendy, what's the right answer?
If it's D-- ANNOUNCER: The answer is C. Although Harry T. Burleigh never received a Pulitzer Prize for music, he is well deserving of the many posthumous honors and tributes paid him, both in Erie and elsewhere in the United States.
His most famous arrangements include Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, and Deep River.
Burleigh was a favorite associate and student of Czech composer Anton Dvorak and is said to have influenced some of Dvorak's music.
Best known for his spirituals, he is also well known for setting to music the poetry of Walt Whitman.
A state historical marker and the Pfeiffer Burleigh Elementary School in Erie were dedicated in his honor.
As a testament to his great works, Burleigh spirituals are still in print and remain in concert repertoire.
Wendy Williams, we've got to move right along.
So how about singing low a new question?
ANNOUNCER: Pennsylvania boasts a long list of official state symbols, including a state animal, a state insect, and a state flower.
On July 17th, 1982, the state's beautification and conservation plant was officially designated.
What is it?
A, columbine, B, rhododendron, C, crownvetch, or D, creeping phlox?
SCOTT BRUCE: The Pennsylvania state beautification and conservation plant.
Columbine, rhododendron, crownvetch, creeping phlox.
Steve, we start with you.
You know, I put down B, rhododendron.
But it's probably crownvetch, because I, you know, was in such a hurry to put down-- rhododendron figures in there somehow.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yes.
It does.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yes.
But maybe not for that particular-- SCOTT BRUCE: You could be right about being wrong.
Yeah.
Pat.
I think that I have heard this one and I did A, columbine.
SCOTT BRUCE: Columbine.
And if I get this right, I really want to hear some real noise, some real support.
Right.
Well let me just tell the crowd ahead of time, take it easy.
Jeff?
I want to ask you, did you call me a creeping phlox?
SCOTT BRUCE: Yes, I did.
A creeping phlox.
I have.
I think it's a rhododendron, my friend.
SCOTT BRUCE: Rhododendron.
Because why would you pick a name that no one's ever heard of?
So we have two rhododendrons and a columbine, and nobody's correct.
Tell me, Wendy.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, crownvetch.
There are three varieties of crownvetch-- emerald, chemung, and penngift crownvetch, which is the official state beautification and conservation plant.
First discovered in Pennsylvania by Dr. Fred Grau in 1935, it has since been extensively researched by Penn State.
The name penngift was derived from Penn for Pennsylvania, and gift for the farmer on whose land the plant was discovered.
Penngift crownvetch is well adapted for road bank stabilization and erosion control.
And since 1985, has been used extensively by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for this purpose.
More recently, it has been recognized for its agricultural value as a source of forage for livestock, and for soil insulation in no till corn production.
Very good.
That means it's time for our third Mystery Pennsylvanian clue.
Everybody, get ready.
Here it is.
A most prolific passer.
He became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass over 50,000 yards.
At one point, catching one of his own passes.
[laughter] A most prolific passer, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass over 50,000 yards.
At one point, catching one of his own passes.
He's Lucky Number 13, born and raised in Pittsburgh in 1961.
The golden boy made his big splash in the sunshine state.
Everybody's ready.
I see no point to waste any time.
Let's go straight to Pat and see what her answers were.
Pat.
[laughter] She has Charlie Goodman, who happens to be our director.
[laughs] And then as my studio audience knows, Jerry Sawyer and Jerry Sawyer, who is-- [applause] --just the man about town here at WPSX.
Thank you so much.
I think you're very close.
Jeff, we'll get down to you.
What do you have?
You know what?
First, I picked Terry Bradshaw, but I-- he was too old for that.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah.
So then I went with Dan Marino, Dan Marino.
SCOTT BRUCE: Dan Marino.
[applause] The studio audience seems to know something that Pat doesn't know.
Steve, we'll run back to you.
Same as him.
SCOTT BRUCE: Question mark, Dan Marino, Dan Marino.
[applause] I don't think we're fooling anybody on this one, folks.
Wendy Williams, is it, in fact, Dan Marino or Jerry Sawyer?
ANNOUNCER: Dan Marino, the Miami Dolphins quarterback, was born and raised in Pittsburgh.
He was a two-sport athlete at Central Catholic High School, lettering in both baseball and football.
While he was a quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh, the Panthers enjoyed four top 10 seasons and attended four major bowl games.
In 1983, he was selected by the Miami Dolphins as their first round draft pick.
In 13 years as field general for the Miami Dolphins, he set 25 NFL passing records, including most TDs and most yards.
Marino now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with his family and is active in causes that benefit children.
Dan Marino, a famous Pennsylvanian.
Dan Marino.
JEFF PIRRAMI: Hey!
Dan Marino.
Our panelists can-- Pat, oh, you know, I really thought you were coming in at the end there.
I thought you were kind of coming on strong.
PAT RHEES: You know what has just occurred to me?
I'm quite certain Jerry Sawyer was not born in 1960.
Good point.
Well, let's check our big tote board and see where the game ended up.
We have Pat with zero, unfortunately.
Steve, a respectable three points.
But Jeff Pirrami with four points!
[cheers] Is our champion.
Thank you so much, Jeff.
And now, here's Wendy Williams to tell you what you won.
JEFF PIRRAMI: I hope it's food, please.
ANNOUNCER: Well Scott, it's one night's free lodging at Victorian Loft Bed and Breakfast in Clearfield.
And 50 chances to win $1,000 a week for life from the Pennsylvania lottery.
JEFF PIRRAMI: Hey!
That's right.
Lottery tickets and keys.
Remember, if you have a question for the Pennsylvania Game, send it to us.
We'd love to make you a winner and part of our show.
Thanks so much to our panel.
Thanks to you people playing at home.
You were the best.
And my studio audience.
Actually, they're the best.
Thanks so much!
JEFF PIRRAMI: Thank you.
