– Jimmy Kimmel In this way, Stein was never in any danger of losing money from his own pocket. Now it's/we're down to just you and me. I was once,many many many many moons ago,a "Jeopardy!" If Ben won, then the contestant took home just the money he/she won from the game; if both players were tied, the winning contestant won a $1,000 bonus in addition to the main game cash; and finally, if the winning contestant managed to beat Ben Stein and win, he/she won all $5,000 of Ben Stein's money (his/her main game score was augmented to the grand prize amount). "This is the part of the show where we tell/remind everyone/everybody that Ben does not get the answers to the questions ahead of time. (champion), congratulations.
(insert leading contestant) has (insert score) of Ben's Money, (insert second place contestant) has (insert score) of Ben's Money. Contestants, selected by calling a phone number, are chosen based on their ability to arrange 4 answers to a question in the correct order the fastest. "It's time to find out who has the most brains in their head/(insert various quotes), as we play more of Win Ben Stein's Money!" Two families compete by trying to outguess the opponents about survey results.
"Thank you, Jimmy/Nancy/Cousin Sal. 1998–2001: "Hello. And as I tell/remind you, since Ben/(insert contestant) can't hear me, (insert funny quote)." Also, if at any point a player answered in the form of a question (as on In Round 1, the three contestants faced-off against each other, and Ben read all the questions. So, if you're smart enough, fast enough, and if you've got the guts, you can WIN BEN STEIN'S MONEY!!!" The teams compete in such events as Power Ball, Assault, The Wall and Hang Tough. Alas,no success.
Stay tuned, it could get ugly/you might learn something./Stay in your seats. If you answer it incorrectly, you're out." In short,to me,that show had traded in the integrity of being a sharp,intelligent quiz show in favor of ratings. Any time you manage to answer the question correctly, you win money, and I lose it. – Jimmy Kimmel/Nancy Pimental/Sal Iacono All you have to do is beat me in what we call the Best of 10 Test of Knowledge.
You're gonna need it. – Ben Stein (explaining the bonus round disclaimer) "I challenge everyone/you all to write, call, or e-mail to futility.com; in the hope, as infinitesimal as it might be, that on some distant planet, on some distant day, you might "We're out of time.
And today, I'm going to make history. Stein now replaced the eliminated contestant and turned over question-asking duties to the co-host, who always stated that Stein had no advance knowledge of any questions that would be used from that point forward.
So, what that means is that I'm gonna ask you a tiebreaker question. At the end of the fourth season, three of the best contestants of the season (who had already won $5,000) returned for a special "Ben Stein's Cup" episode, for a chance to win five times the amount ($25,000). – Jimmy Kimmel/Nancy Pimental/Sal Iacono (disclaimer, continued) After a contestant chose a category, its value was revealed ($50, $100, or $150) and Stein asked a toss-up question open to all three contestants. To accommodate this, the scoring display on his podium showed a dollar sign. If the round ended in a tie, the contestant won an additional $1,000; however, in the earliest episodes of the first season, the contestant won the full $5,000 jackpot in the event of a tie. And if a contestant got eliminated from the first podium, both contestants would move one spot over or (later in the run) the contestant from the third podium would move to the first podium to make way for Ben entering the third podium. - Ben Stein (when he picks the category after Jimmy/Nancy/Sal reveals the new category) - Duration: 22:07. And (last place contestant), unfortunately, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye." – Jimmy Kimmel/Nancy Pimental/Sal Iacono I'm Ben Stein.
If a contestant rang in and answered correctly, the question value was added to their score and deducted from Stein's bank.
– Jimmy Kimmel/Nancy Pimental/Sal Iacono (whenever there's less than one minute left during Round 2)
"(insert category). – Jimmy Kimmel/Nancy Pimental/Sal Iacono (if Ben won after the 10th question) If they could not answer, either of the other two could ring in and attempt to score. "I'll take/try that one."
Missed or passed questions could not be returned to, but the co-host went over any and all of them after the first player finished. "We have less than two minutes left in this round." That was a very well played game! – Ben Stein (talking to the losing contestant after Round 2)
The higher-scoring contestant kept all money won and advanced to the bonus round for a chance to win the entire $5,000. Once both questions had been asked, the category was removed from play and a new one substituted in its place, and the contestant who gave the last correct answer to that point chose the next category. "Contestants, good luck.
