Loose Change

OPHIRA EISENBERG, HOST:

Finally, what we've been waiting for. Let's bring back our winners to play the Ask Me One More final round. From Name that Candy Bar, Sarah Sheppard.

(APPLAUSE)

EISENBERG: It's All Squeak to Me, Stephen Kendall. Time to Turn off the TV, Dan Moren. Street Music, Steve Spinoglio. Celebrity Secret Words, Margaret Maloney. All right, Noah, how are we going to wrap this show up?

NOAH TARNOW: This is how. Today's final game is called Loose Change. For this final round, we'll give you the clues to answers that contain a U.S. coin or monetary amounts.

For example, if we said "former astronaut Steve Austin," you'd answer "The Six Million Dollar Man." By the way, just in case you're wondering, with inflation he would now be the 29 million 109 thousand 849 dollar and 46 cent man. But they haven't decided that has enough of a ring to make a remake feasible.

All right, this round is playing spelling bee style, so one wrong answer and you're out, unless everyone gets a wrong answer and then you've all survived and we move on. The last person standing is today's grand prizewinner. Are we ready players? Here we go. The network home of "Spongebob SquarePants?"
