"He graduated magna cum laude from columbia and has a perfect S.A.T. score." "It's Dan McCarthy." "(Cheers and applause)" "So, Dan..." " Yes?" " You're an attorney." "Right." "You're used to defending people on appeal, correct?" "That's right." "I do criminal defense appeals." "So, my clients are mostly in prison, which I guess is nice, 'cause they... they..." "they can't bother me as much." "(Laughter) Over here, there is somebody who is determined to make you fail." "Your challenger, where's he from?" "Boston, Massachusetts." "(Cheers and applause) What does he do?" "He's a neuroscientist." "And what makes him a genius?" "He's a published author, and he's a visiting scholar at Harvard." "It is Dr. Ogi Ogas." "(Cheers and applause)" "Thank you." "You, sir, are very welcome." "We have an attorney versus a neuroscientist." "If this isn't genius, I don't know what is."

"Medicine, Random, Asian History, The Bible, Rock Music, '80s Films, Writers, The Presidency," "U.S. Landmarks, Cocktails and Spirits." "Now, to make any money, you have to get through all 50 questions." "You'll have 10 seconds to answer each one." "You can answer as many times as you like, of course, but you'll only earn money if your first answer is correct." "And remember, don't get three wrong in a row." " If you do, you're gone." " Gone." "The challenger will take your place." "Do you both understand the rules?" "Yes." "Yes, I do." "Then let's play 500 Questions." "(Cheers and applause)" "Choose your first category." "$1,000 if it's the first right answer." "All right, well, I think I'm gonna need some help to get through this, so it seems fitting, let's start with The Bible." " First question." " The Bible." "(Laughter)" "Calling a higher power into some assistance." "The Bible..." "First answer gives you $1,000." "You've got 10 seconds." "Here's the question." " 10 seconds." " Seth." "(Ding) Okay." "Absolutely." "All right." "$1,000 on your first question." "It was the correct answer." "And you answered it in just one second." "So, let's see" " if you can try and beat that." " Right." "Your next category, please." "Let's try..." "let's do Cocktails and Spirits." "Cocktails and Spirits." " 10 seconds." " Blood and sand." "Um..." "The Bloody Mary." "(Ding)" "Correct answer..." "it wasn't your first," " so there's no money earned." " No, it wasn't the first." " But you do continue to play." " I went a little too deep on that one." "All right." "Next category, please."

"And the question is..." " 10 seconds." " Uh, cher." "Uh, Dolly Parton." "Um, uh, uh..." "Uh, Grace Slick." "Um..." "Uh, uh, uh, Nancy Sinatra." "No." "You'll get a wrong on the board for that." " Doctor." " It's Linda Ronstadt, man." "(Sighs)" "Absolutely right." "Linda Ronstadt." "Now, it's very important." " You've got a wrong on the board." " Okay." "And your goal here is to get rid of the wrong." "Right." "Quite early on to do that." "And you can obviously go for a new category, or you can go to somewhere where your... you feel it's a safe harbor." " Right." " But you need to get rid of the wrong." "You know, I'm tempted to go with the bible again, but I might be asking... pressing my luck a little too hard there." "Let's do The Presidency." " A new category." " New category." " Battle." " Whoa!" "That is a battle question." "Doctor, step into play and prepare for battle." "(Cheers and applause)" "Here, we have multiple answers." "You will take turns going backwards and forwards." "You have 5 seconds each to answer." "But on this question," "I can only accept your first answer." "You will always be in control." "Do you want to lead or follow?" "I think this is a strong category for me, so I'm gonna lead." "Why does leading make that better for you?" "Well, I guess you... you get the..." "the first, easier answers." "You can sort of knock those out, and then the... the opponent has to struggle a little bit, hopefully, to come up with his." "We'll find out." "A battle question... you both understand how to play it." "Here is the question." "5 seconds." "George W. Bush." "(Ding)" "Carter." "(Ding)" "Bill Clinton." "(Ding)" "Reagan." "(Ding)" "Nixon." "No." "Ohh." "Vice president, but not a state governor." "He ran for... he ran for governor, but he lost." "That's right." " This is disaster for you." " It is." "You now have two wrongs on the board." "Let's look at the answers that you could have gone for." "Franklin Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge," "Woodrow Wilson, and Theodore Roosevelt." "Those were the answers." "All right, Dan." "All right." "You have got two wrongs on the board, Dan." "And this is a very dangerous situation for you to be in." "If you get the next answer wrong, it will be three wrong in a row, and you are..." "Gone." "To make matters worse..." "Oh, look at him." "He's the smiling doctor." "(Laughter)" "The doctor over here is now going to pick your next category." "But, as I can see, Ogi, there's not much for you to go on." "Where are you gonna send him?" "Well, he seems like a very sober young man, and I don't think he spends a lot of time in bars, so I'm gonna pick cocktails and spirits." "(Audience groaning)" "Whoa!" "That is risky, because he did get cocktails and spirits right on his first one." "Yeah, but he didn't seem very comfortable with it, so..." "Are you comfortable with it?" "Well, I'll be needing a cocktail or a spirit if I don't get it..." "(Laughter) so I better get comfortable." "Believe me... if you get it, you may be buying the drinks" " all around." "Okay." " Okay." "The question is..." " 10 seconds." " Manhattan." "(Ding)" "Back in the game." "Ogi." "It backfired." "This is about strategy, and your strategy failed." "It did." "The wrongs have gone, and you've got $3,000." "How are you feeling?" "I'm hanging in there." "Back to zero strikes, though, so let's go make some more money." "Who am I to argue against an attorney who wants to make money?" "(Laughter) Another category." "You know, let's..." "let's try to do another rock music there again." "Rock music... you have a 50/50 on rock music so far." "The question is..." " 10 seconds." " Dave Grohl." "(Ding)" "$1,000." "Next category." "Yeah, that's more in my era, you know?" "Not so much the linda ronstadt." "But, you know..." "let's do... ohh!" "(Audience ohhs)" "No, he's probably younger than me." "I'm just..." "I'm just kidding." "I'm just kidding." "Ogi, I wouldn't take that." "All right, next category." "Bring up a battle." "Come on." "(Laughter) Next question." "All right, let's do rock music again." "Rock Music." " Oh!" " Oh, no!" "Quest:" "As if!" "(Laughs)" "From your lips." "Yes." "Step into play and prepare for battle." "As always, do you want to lead or follow?" "You led last time." "It was a disaster." "It didn't work." "It didn't work." "Well, the problem here is he seems pretty strong in this category, so I don't know if it makes much of a difference whether I lead or follow." "I think I got to lead and hope for the best here." "You're gonna lead." "If and when it comes your turn, we'll be interested to hear your computational-neurologist thinking on that strategy." " Okay." " Here we go." "The battle question on rock music." "And it is..." "(Chuckling) Ohh." "Five seconds." "Uh, cl..." "Creedence Clearwater Revival." "(Ding)" "Janis Joplin."

" And for those wanting to know, let's have a look at some of the others you could have had." "The Who, Santana," "Sly  the Family Stone, Joe Cocker." "On it goes." "All right, you have one wrong on the board." "You've got $4,000 in play." " Okay." " You do need to get rid of this red." "I do." "And I'd like to know..." "well, can you do it?" "I hope so." "Wow." "Don't choose your category." "We're gonna find out after the break." "(Cheers and applause)" "(Cheers and applause)" "We're back with 500 Questions." "And I'm with our reigning genius, Dan." "So, you've got to get rid of the wrong." "That's your priority." "Where would you like to go?" "I suggest you skate to the thickest ice you can find." "(Laughs)" "Uh, that's tough to judge."

"Would you have known the answer?" ""The New Colossus."" "Correct." ""The New Colossus."" "Dan, you now have two wrongs on the board." "And you, Dr. Ogi, get to choose the next category." "Talk me through where you are going to send dan." "Well, he didn't do as well on the woodstock question as I would have guessed, so let's go back to rock music again." "If..." "if we're going on pure logic, that is the place to go, since he's had two wrongs." "Right." "Let's be clear." "You are now playing to stay in 500 Questions." "You have two wrongs in a row." "The question on rock music to stay in 500 Questions." " 10 seconds." " Aldous Huxley." "(Ding) Yes!" "(Cheers and applause)" "Get rid of the wrongs." "Add in the money." "Dr. Ogi, let me remind you... if he makes it to 50 questions, then you're gone." "Dan, you're only 2% of the way through." "You have $5,000 in play." "And we'll take your next category." "Uh, let's see." "Uh, let's try '80s films." "'80s films." "$1,000 if you get it right." "And the question is..." " 10 seconds." " Uh, "Sixteen Candles."" "Uh, uh, uh, "Pretty in Pink.""

"Uh, yeah, that was pretty much a guess." "I've seen that movie before." "Maybe it clicked somewhere, but, no." "No money, but no wrongs, and we continue." "There are a couple of categories here that you've avoided." "Scared of them?" "A little bit afraid." "A tiny bit." "All right, next category." "Let's stick with '80s films." "'80s films." " Oh!" "(Laughs)" " Top ten challenge." "Quest:" "A top ten challenge." "Now, here, there are 10 potential answers." "You have to give 5 of them in 15 seconds." "But you get the choice..." "do you want to play or pass?" "If you pass it to him and he wins it, that's a wrong for you." "This is a tricky, tricky decision, 'cause I don't know too much about how he feels about '80s films." "He's been pretty strong so far." "Pretty strong overall, though." "You're right." "You're right." "I think I would regret it more if I pass it, so I think I've got to go for it and try to play it myself." "(Cheers and applause)" "You've chosen to play." "And you have no wrongs on the board, so relatively strong position in which to be taking that risk." "Your top ten challenge, it's on '80s films." "And the question is..." " 15 seconds." " "Chariots of Fire."" "(Ding) "Gandhi."" "(Ding) Um, "Terms of Endearment."" "(Ding) "Amadeus."" "(Ding) "Platoon."" "(Ding)" "Quest:" "You've got it!" "Congratulations." "Another $1,000."

"All right, we're kind of on a roll here, so let's do '80s films again." "Now, you can have any category you like, and it's too late, 'cause you've already selected it, but..." "(Laughter) remember to bank those safe categories in case you need them." "Yeah." "Ther..." "I don't see a lot of safe categories out there." "You can see, so we'll, uh... well, you've got a 100% record so far." " All right." " '80s films." "Here's the question." "10 seconds." " Um, Michelle Pfeiffer..." " (Ding)" "Uh, Kim Ba..." "Oh!"

"And your strategy worked." "(Laughs)" "Let's see the answers you could have had." ""The Breakfast Club," "Weird Science,"" ""Planes, Trains  Automobiles," and "She's Having a Baby."" "All right, let's have your next category, please." "All right, so, I've been doing well in it, but I feel like I'm pretty shaky, so let's try to finish off '80s films and be done with that." "Well, you've actually got your hit rate up." "You're now getting roughly" " 70% of your questions correct." " All right." "(Cheers and applause)" "You've got $8,000 in play." "But, remember, you don't get a penny of it until you've completed all 50 questions." " All right." " Here we go." "Question's on '80s films." "$1,000 for the first answer." "The question is... 10 seconds." "Um..." "Uh, Smith, Johnson..." "Jones, uh..." "Elephant, uh... (Laughter)" "James, uh..." "No." "A wrong on the board." "Doctor?" "Merrick." "Correct."

"Let's do cocktails and spirits again." "Cocktails and spirits." "There is a logic." "You have 100% success rate on that so far." "Question is... 10 seconds." "Uh, The Mai Tai, The Mojito, the... the... the Margarita, the Daiquiri, um, the, um..." "Uh..." "Ugh!" "Talk it out." "Uh, doctor, do you know the answer?" "Piña Colada." " Correct." " Piña Colada!" "Quest:" "All right." "It's Piña Colada." "And... (Sighs)" "You're exhausting me, but we are... (laughter) We are here again." "Imagine how I feel, you know?" "That's a good... a good point." "As you can see, we have two wrongs on the board." "That means your opponent chooses your next category." "Where are you going to send... which category?" "'Cause you get to choose." "I'm giving up on strategy." "I'm just gonna go to random and hope for the best." "It's your third chance to remove him from the game." "Yes." "All right." "Random." " 10 seconds." " Apatosaurus." "(Ding) Rocky... oh, good." "Yes!" "Good, good, good." "Get rid of the wrongs." "Give him $1,000." "We're back." "I'm getting them right when I need to." "You're really bad at choosing other people's categories." "(Laughter) I can't knock him out." "You're getting" " all these opportunities." " I know." "What's wrong with your strategy?" "What's wrong with... well, I-I gave up on strategy that time, so... (Laughter)" "Let's..." "let's just take a second to recap where we are." "$9,000 in play." "17 questions." "You've still got three categories" " that you've not even tickled." " Right." "And we'll take your next category, please." "All right, I think we got to do one of these new categories."

"It's gonna work out one of these times, you know?" "Hang on." "Your history of leading versus following is against you." "That's true." "That's true." "I-I guess I'm like Christian Grey in the classic book "Fifty Shades of Grey."" "I always need to be in control, so, you know, it's a problem." "(Laughter)" "And I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole." "It's okay." "(Laughter)" "Quest:" "All right, the question is... 5 seconds." "Genesis." "(Ding)" "Numbers." "(Ding)" "Exodus."

"It was Joshua, Judges, and Ruth." "Okay, you're in a strong position." "You have no wrongs on the board," "$13,000 in play." "And we go to your next category, please." "All right, so, after The Bible," "I think we got to go back to cocktails and spirits, right?" "(Laughter)" "Cocktails and spirits." "You've got a 50/50 on cocktails and spirits." "And we'll take the last in the category." "The question, please." "10 seconds." "Uh, Limoncello, Frangelico." "Um, uh..." "Uh, uh..." "Um..." "Absinthe, um, uh..." "A wrong." "You're not making life easy for yourself." "No." "That's true." "But you have a wrong on the board." "And the correct answer was..." "Galliano." "Cocktails and spirits proved to be somewhat a little strong for you..." " (Laughs) - ..." "That particular drink." "Three wrong out of five." "You have a wrong on the board." "You do need to get rid of it." " Mm-hmm." " Let's take your next category, please." "All right, well, this didn't work very well last time, but I'm gonna try U.S. Landmarks again." "Hang on." "(Laughter)" "What am I missing here?" "You have a wrong on the board," " and you've gone to a category..." " Yes." "that you got wrong the last time." "I strongly suspect that was a fluke, and we'll a... we'll get an easier question this time." " Brave man." " All right." "(Cheers and applause)" "Well, you're not scared." "All right." "The question, please." "10 seconds." "Um, Chimney Rock." "Uh, Mount Rushmore." "Um, uh, Yosemite." "Uh, Yellowstone." "Um..." "Uh, Arches." "Uh, Mount Zion." "Uh..." "Oh, second wrong." "Would..."

"Quest:" "For the fourth time, you've got those two wrongs, and, as always, three wrongs in a row and you're..." "Gone." "It is also question 25." "And that is a milestone that's worth $5,000." "(Cheers and applause)" "Now..." "You've got two wrongs on the board, dan." "Can you get rid of them?" "We'll find out after the break." "(Cheers and applause)" "(Cheers and applause)" "Quest:" "Welcome back." "Dan is playing to stay in 500 Questions." "You have two wrongs on the board."

"If you get it right the first time, dan, you will get $5,000 to take home no matter what happens." "And, as always, three wrongs in a row and you're..." "Gone." "And the man who hopes to send you on your way," "Dr. Ogi, you get to choose the category." "Talk me through what category you want to send him to." "Ogi:" "So, I know he's got two wrong on landmarks, but he seems very confident about that category, so that scares me a little bit." "He hasn't touched writers yet, but I suspect that's his best category, and that's why he's saving it for last." "So, I'm just gonna go for random again, because I still think that's the best chance I have for just hitting him with something..." " All right." " Completely unexpected." " You want to go to random." " Yes." "Quest:" "Okay." "The question is..." " 10 seconds." " Dutch." "(Ding) Quest:" "Yes!" "All right!" "$5,000." "Get rid of the wrongs!" " Yay!" " Add on the money!"

" How are you holding up?" " Uh, just barely." "Well, you can't have any cocktails and spirits to help you." " All right." "We're all gone." " All right." "I can't see any strategy here, so just go where you will." "I can't, either." "I can't, either." "Let's do..." "let's do, uh, asian history." "Asian history." "$1,000 if it's the first."

"$1,000 if it's the first." "And the question..." " 10 seconds." " Lincoln." "Jefferson." "Martin Luther King." "(Ding)" "Okay." "It wasn't your first, so there's no money earned." "Something tells me you have just taken us on a tour" " of the Washington Monuments." " (Laughs)" "Pretty... all the ones that I know about, anyway." " Yeah." " All right." "You have not touched writers." "Why?" "I-I-I think it could be a good category." "Who knows?" "It seems very broad, so I think we're kind of saving that maybe towards the end, see how it plays out" " if I get that far." " Right." "But you do need some safe harbors in the case" " it doesn't turn out to be." " Yeah, I don't think there are any safe harbors in this game, though, unfortunately." "28 questions." "Next category." "All right, let's do random." "Random." "The random question is... 10 seconds." "Uh, Mary, Sue..." "Uh, Anne, um..." "Uh, Chloe, Jen..." "Natalie, Sarah, uh..." "Ben, uh, uh, Ron..." "I don't think that was anywhere close to it." "A wrong on the board." "The answer... do you know?" "She's Pakistani, but I don't know her name." "Of course, it was Malala." "Oh." "And you'll remember, of course, she was the young woman who was shot by the taliban..." "Yeah." "and who, of course, made a superb recovery and has gone on to become a beacon of hope." "All right." "And you have a wrong on the board." "That, of course, has to be removed." "Where would you like to go?" "The Bible has treated me well." "Let's go back there." "It's question 30 on the the bible." "And first answer gives you $1,000, if it's correct." "The question is... 10 seconds." "Uh, Jacob, um, uh, Eli..." "Um, uh, uh, uh..." "Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Ezra, Isaiah, um, Elijah." "No." "Two wrongs." " The correct answer..." " Goliath." " Goliath." "Oh!" " David and Goliath." "All right, you have two wrongs on the board." "And that, of course, means," "Ogi, you get to choose the next category." "You've had all these attempts..." " I know." " To get rid of him, and you've failed." "It's very distressing." "(Chuckles)" "Not for him it's not." "(Laughter) Where are you gonna send him?" "I'm gonna choose random once again." "You are now playing to stay in 500 Questions."
