00:00Tonight, I am playing Shopping Cart Corral.
00:07Given the Nestle, I've never seen anything like this.
00:10No!
00:13That's an athlete right there.
00:16From the Nashville Municipal Auditorium,
00:19it's the only comedy show that also happens to be a game show,
00:23The Greatest Average American.
00:26And now, your host,
00:31Neymar Dutton!
00:32Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:34Thank you very much. All right.
00:36Welcome to our new show where it's not about what you know,
00:39it's about what your fellow average American knows.
00:42Say hello to my buddy and comedian friend, Julian McCullough,
00:46warming up the audience.
00:47And fellow comedian, our announcer, Greg Warren.
00:53Greg, who do we have playing tonight?
00:54Made a construction project manager representing North Carolina.
00:58Give it up for Mallory.
01:01A retired FBI agent from the state of Illinois, it's Tom.
01:06All right, all right. That's awesome.
01:09And she's a horseshoer from the state of Oregon.
01:12Meet Dakota.
01:16All right, thanks for being here.
01:18Dakota, you see that wonderful dog with you.
01:21Yes. This is my service dog, Dinosaur.
01:25Hello, Dinosaur.
01:26I've had him for about three and a half years,
01:28and he goes with me in all my shoe-ins.
01:30Well, good luck to you and Dinosaur.
01:32Let's get to this game.
01:33We're gonna play through two elimination rounds,
01:35with one person going home after each one.
01:38Last player standing moves on to our bonus round,
01:41where you could win the average American salary of $67,920.
01:49In our first round, we asked Americans questions about how they feel,
01:53what they like, and how they live.
01:55I'll reveal the questions, and all you have to do is choose a response
01:58said by the majority of Americans.
02:00These first two questions, they're worth one point each.
02:04Here's your first question.
02:06We asked 100 average Americans,
02:08which of these would be the most fun to take for a joy ride?
02:12A, Barbie's dream car.
02:14B, DeLorean time machine.
02:17C, Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
02:20D, Batmobile.
02:21You got 10 seconds.
02:24I've seen, have you ever seen the Wienermobile out in the wild?
02:27Oh, yeah, man.
02:28I have, too.
02:29It's exciting.
02:30I have a lot of y'all.
02:30Have you ever seen it, Al?
02:32It's pretty special.
02:34Mallory, which one of these did you say?
02:37Well, I'm gonna say D, the Batmobile.
02:40Yes.
02:40Right?
02:42It's fun, it's sexy, it's fast.
02:45Now, myself included, I would like to do the Barbie dream car,
02:49but D, Batmobile.
02:50All right. Tom?
02:51I feel that Americans have the need for speed.
02:55Come on, Tom.
02:55Therefore, they're gonna go with the Batmobile,
02:57because that's gonna blow any of these out of the wall.
02:59There you go, Tom.
03:01In the FBI, how many Batmobiles do we have?
03:04Are you allowed to say that or not allowed to?
03:06Zero unless we seize one from a bad guy.
03:08Oh, okay, yeah, all right, all right.
03:10Dakota?
03:11Well, I went a little different.
03:12I like it.
03:13I went with B, the DeLorean.
03:14That is true.
03:17You know, you can go wherever you want,
03:19as long as you get to that 88.
03:21Back in time.
03:21You know, it's got great gas mileage.
03:23You could always drive back to a cheaper time of gas.
03:26Exactly.
03:26Bring a couple canisters with you, you're good to go.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Good choices.
03:29I like all of them.
03:31Let's see.
03:31What did the average American say?
03:34Yeah!
03:35The DeLorean Time Machine.
03:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:37Dakota with one point.
03:41We should've probably focused more on the Time Machine part.
03:44No one wants to ride in a DeLorean.
03:46The Time Machine is gigantic.
03:50Here we go, next question.
03:52This one's a little different.
03:54You're guessing the percentage of people from zero to 100.
03:57Whoever comes closest to the correct answer gets the point.
04:01We asked 100 average Americans under 30,
04:04what time is shown on this clock?
04:09What percent got it correct?
04:13Ten seconds.
04:16Who's the youngest in here that might know it?
04:19Right there?
04:20How old are you?
04:22Thirteen.
04:23What time is it?
04:25Seven-forty.
04:27Nailed it.
04:28Seven-forty p.m.
04:30I guess it's p.m.
04:31I don't know.
04:31It could be a.m.
04:32I don't know why I put a thing in it.
04:34I feel like the younger generation,
04:35if you tell them to get there at 7.30,
04:37that's what time they do show up.
04:39But, Mallory, what do you think?
04:43I ain't got much faith.
04:44I said 15%.
04:45Yeah.
04:45The younger generation, they might not know us.
04:48Everything is digital.
04:49Everything is right there, ready to go.
04:51So I said 15%.
04:54I'm sorry, y'all.
04:55Tom?
04:56I think I have a little more faith in the average American
04:58Yeah.
04:58For this basic life skill.
05:00So I said 85%.
05:0185%.
05:02Under 30 would get it right.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Dakota?
05:05I went a little bit in the middle.
05:07Yeah.
05:07I went 47%.
05:10Yeah.
05:11I think you give them a second, they'll get there.
05:13It's embarrassing, but they get it.
05:15What percent got it correct?
05:2055% Dakota!
05:22Yeah!
05:23Dakota!
05:24Yeah, Dakota!
05:26We got to catch up, Tom.
05:27Look, there's two questions left, but this is anybody's game.
05:31There you go.
05:32This one, too, I'm gonna raise the stakes a little bit.
05:34So this next one is worth two points.
05:36Okay.
05:36So now we get to catch back up.
05:40We asked 100 average Americans if there were a crime syndicate...
05:43Syndicate?
05:44Syndicate?
05:45Syndicate.
05:45A crime syndicate.
05:47Hold on.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Run by animals.
05:50Which of these would be the boss of the whole operation?
05:55A. Raven.
05:57B. Cobra.
05:59C. Cat.
06:01D. Orangutan.
06:03Ten seconds.
06:07That's a word you gotta just trust that you know it.
06:10Dakota, you might be getting some inside info from Dinosaur.
06:16Who did you say?
06:18I went with C. Cat.
06:19Yeah.
06:20I'm a firm believer in the cats just run everything.
06:22I understand that.
06:23Tom?
06:24I am the cat daddy of three cats.
06:26Wow.
06:27They are devious dudes.
06:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:30I said C. Cat.
06:31C. Cat as well.
06:32You know from experience.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Mallory?
06:36I said Cobra.
06:37It's not bad for you going somewhere in a different direction.
06:40Simply because they're mysterious, they're scary, so they're already gonna be intimidating.
06:46Although that cat looking at me like, girl, why did you choose the Cobra?
06:50Yeah.
06:50But I could see the Cobra with the wings down.
06:53Well, yeah, with the thing, like with the wings.
06:55Yeah.
06:56It's like a normal snake, and then it's like, ah.
06:58And then it's like, ah.
06:59And then you're like, wow.
07:00Yeah.
07:00That's how I feel.
07:01We're at two points.
07:02What did the average American say?
07:06Oh, my gosh, Mallory.
07:09Look at that.
07:12You not gonna get me, Cat?
07:15Look at this.
07:16You're back in it.
07:17Now, this last question is worth a whopping three points.
07:20Tom, you definitely need this one.
07:23Last question.
07:25We asked 100 average Americans, which of these is the worst to be stuck behind?
07:30A bus in traffic, a tall guy at a concert, a person paying with pennies, a tree on the golf
07:40course.
07:40Ten seconds.
07:52This is a fun one.
07:53Dakota, let's start with you.
07:55I said C, paying with pennies.
07:57Yeah.
07:58I feel like if you're paying in pennies, you might be doing it to be petty.
08:02Especially unrolled, if they're not rolled.
08:05Yeah.
08:05That's the worst.
08:06Tom?
08:07I went with a bus in traffic.
08:09Yeah.
08:10You can't see around it.
08:12It's a miserable experience.
08:13I've sat behind one and didn't move out of service.
08:17And I was back there.
08:19Yeah.
08:20How long was that, Nate?
08:21Well, longer than I want to admit.
08:24But it was...
08:25I was in the zone.
08:27It felt good.
08:28All right.
08:29Mallory?
08:30I'm gonna go with my buddy Tom.
08:31Yeah.
08:31I gotta say bus in traffic.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Bus is brutal.
08:35Bus is brutal.
08:36There is nothing like when you gotta go to the bathroom and that bus just keeps stopping
08:42to let them poor babies off that school bus.
08:44Yeah.
08:45You gotta get around them once the stop sign goes in.
08:47No, but you're gonna go to jail.
08:49Cause you'll get a ticket for that.
08:50Oh, that's true.
08:50Well, that's the tough part.
08:51Yeah.
08:52Yeah.
08:52That makes it harder.
08:53Yeah.
08:54I think we should get rid of school.
08:55Oh, God.
08:57This is the last question.
08:58Dakota's got two points.
08:59Mallory's got two points.
09:01Tom, you need this one.
09:02It all comes to this.
09:04What did the average American say?
09:08Whoo!
09:09Wow.
09:11Mallory, five points.
09:12Tom, three points.
09:13Congratulations.
09:14You are moving on.
09:17Dakota and Dinosaur, I am so sorry.
09:20Whoo!
09:20But you are the most below average tonight.
09:22Thank you for playing with us.
09:24We really loved having you.
09:26When The Greatest Average American returns, I'll be pushing shopping carts all over the stage.
09:32Do not go anywhere.
09:40Welcome back to The Greatest Average American.
09:42Mallory and Tom are one step closer to playing for the average American's salary of $67,920.
09:48Yeah!
09:50This next round is all about getting into the mind and body of the original, greatest, average American, uh, myself.
09:58Uh, tonight, I am playing Shopping Cart Corral.
10:07I'll be trying to wheel shopping carts into the standard-issue corral.
10:11I'll be pushing them from there, and my feet cannot cross the line.
10:15I will have six carts, no time limit.
10:18This could be all day.
10:21For each cart in the corral, I'll get one point.
10:24I get a bonus point for each cart I can nestle into another one.
10:30Here's how this works.
10:31One of you will start off by guessing exactly how many points I can score with six carts.
10:36The other will then write over if you think I will score more or under if you think I will
10:41score less.
10:41If you're right, you're headed to the bonus round.
10:44Mallory, you scored the highest in the first round, so you get to decide.
10:47Would you like to guess the number I will hit or the over-under?
10:52I am gonna let my friend choose the number.
10:55Okay.
10:56Tom, how many points do you think I will score?
10:58If I have a perfect game and nestle all the carts in the corral, that would be 11 points.
11:03So write down your guess and show Mallory and the audience.
11:06I don't want to see.
11:08I can't see.
11:08Don't show me.
11:13Mallory, do you think I'll go over that number or under it?
11:16Write it down.
11:17This is just for you.
11:20Answers are in.
11:21All right.
11:24Come on, Nate.
11:25Come on, Nate.
11:28A little help from Julian.
11:31I'm gonna catch them if, you know, if you get excited and you start, you know.
11:34I gotta protect the audience.
11:36What's in your hand?
11:37Oh.
11:39Oh.
11:40That's good.
11:42That's an athlete right there.
11:43Here we go.
11:45Here we go.
11:51Yeah!
11:52Whoo!
11:53That was good.
11:57This is your first chance at a nestle.
12:04Oh!
12:08I think I need some speed.
12:10Yeah.
12:11You've got two points.
12:12That's just short of a nestle.
12:14All right.
12:21That's a nestle.
12:22That's a nestle right there.
12:24That's a full nestle.
12:27Whoo!
12:27Give him the nestle.
12:28It's an honor to work for you, Nate.
12:30Yeah.
12:40That's a full nestle!
12:42That's a big one!
12:43Oh, a bib Amendment!
12:45Hey!
12:45Hey!
12:46Hey!
12:47Hey!
12:47Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
12:51Oh.
13:05I've never seen anything like this.
13:07This is history.
13:08You've never seen it.
13:10Nate, you have a chance to be perfect right here.
13:12It's never been done on this show.
13:15All right.
13:16Hey, hey, hey, hey.
13:17Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it.
13:20Ah.
13:23Nine points, that was a letdown.
13:25That was amazing.
13:27That was good.
13:28I got a little strong with that left arm.
13:30And I don't think you're supposed to talk
13:31about a no-hitter, bud.
13:34Yeah, my left arm got strong on that last one.
13:37All right, so it's the moment of truth.
13:40Tom, how many do you think I could do?
13:43I underestimated you and said six.
13:45Six was solid.
13:47It's a solid answer.
13:49Mallory, this is to move on.
13:51If you guessed over, you win.
13:53But it's under, then you're going home,
13:55and Tom's going for it.
13:57Please show us what you said.
14:01Congratulations.
14:02Oh, it said under.
14:03That means Tom is moving on.
14:06Congratulations.
14:08You are the greatest average American.
14:10Great job.
14:10And to go along with that title, we give you $10,000.
14:14Yes!
14:15Yes!
14:16But can he turn it into $67,920?
14:22Find out when we return to The Greatest Average American.
14:32All right.
14:34Welcome back.
14:35I'm here with our winner, Tom.
14:37He has earned the coveted title of The Greatest Average American.
14:39Very nice title to have.
14:41And with that comes $10,000.
14:42Yes.
14:43Yes.
14:44Yes.
14:44Not too shabbat.
14:45That's yours to keep no matter what.
14:48And now you have a chance to win the average American salary, $67,920.
14:57Oh, I also wanted to tell you, I'm going to put a little extra in there to help cover
15:02all your taxes.
15:03Oh, my God.
15:03So there you go.
15:06What will you do if you win it?
15:08Well, my wife, who's here in the audience, our 30th anniversary is coming up.
15:11Yeah.
15:11And we've been talking for years about going on an Alaskan cruise for our vacation.
15:16Yeah.
15:16So this would be nice to be able to do that together.
15:18Just go do it.
15:18Absolutely.
15:47That would be great.
16:09Bryan Donut.
16:10Yeah!
16:12I got you.
16:13I got you.
16:13I got you.
16:14I got you.
16:15I got you.
16:1630 seconds on the clock.
16:20Feel good?
16:21I feel good.
16:22All right, here we go.
16:23Is this audience more likely to remember
16:25a person's name or their face?
16:27Face.
16:29Do they own a working printer?
16:31Yes.
16:34Do they prefer a beanbag chair or a rocking chair?
16:36Rocking.
16:38Do they prefer their hot dog with ketchup or mustard?
16:41Mustard.
16:42Do they think it would be more fun
16:44to ride a camel or an elephant?
16:46Elephant.
16:48Do they make their bed every day?
16:50Yes.
16:52Do they always get popcorn
16:53when they go to the movie theater?
16:55Seven questions.
16:56There we go.
17:02I feel good, you know?
17:04These are good American answers.
17:07Is this audience more likely to remember
17:10a person's name or their face?
17:12You said face.
17:13I did.
17:14This is your world.
17:15It is, yeah.
17:16Audience, did you say face?
17:19Yes, yes, yes, yes!
17:22All right.
17:23The first question is always the hardest to get down.
17:26Look at us.
17:27Do they own a working printer?
17:30You said yes.
17:32Audience, did you say yes?
17:34Yes!
17:35Yes!
17:36Thank you, thank you, thank you.
18:04Three, whoo!
18:07Three.
18:08No strikes, we're doing good.
18:09Do they prefer their hot dog with ketchup or mustard?
18:13You said mustard.
18:14Chicago.
18:15Yeah.
18:15I lived in Chicago, and if you don't know,
18:18they are furious if you put ketchup here.
18:21It's an affront.
18:22It's all mustard.
18:23As you can see, he would risk losing this game
18:26to not say ketchup.
18:28Street cred.
18:29Yeah.
18:30Did this basically Nashville audience also say mustard?
18:37Yes, yes, yes!
18:38Thank you, thank you, thank you.
18:40They knew it.
18:42Look at that.
18:43Zero strikes.
18:45You need one of these, right?
18:47You can choose.
18:49Which one do you feel confident about,
18:52or which one do you think might be an X
18:54and you want to just drag it out a little bit, you know?
18:56You decide, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:59Let's pull the plug and pick number six, Making the Bed.
19:03I look around, this is a beautiful crowd.
19:05These people make their bed.
19:06They make their bed, and I hope so.
19:08I'm seeing a couple that might not, but I don't.
19:10All right.
19:15$67,920.
19:21Do they make their bed every day?
19:23You said yes, audience.
19:24Did you say yes?
19:29Oh!
19:31All right.
19:32That's OK.
19:32That's cool.
19:33We got some wiggle room.
19:33That's all right.
19:34Kind of the opposite now.
19:36We got one strike, two questions left.
19:39All you need is one.
19:40And the strike portion only needs two.
19:43Normally, you don't say it like that,
19:46but I'm also not a game show host, but here we are.
19:50So what do you want to do?
19:52Do you want to see him ride a camel elephant,
19:53or do you want to see popcorn movie theater?
19:56Let's do popcorn.
19:57Yeah.
19:57I feel they should.
20:01It's a staple.
20:01It's what you do.
20:02Quintessential American experience.
20:04All comes down to popcorn.
20:06For $67,920.
20:11Audience, do you get popcorn?
20:15Yes!
20:21Yes!
20:22Yes!
20:23Yes!
20:23Yes!
20:24Yes!
20:24Yes!
20:25Oh my god, thank you, buddy.
20:27I'm gonna go hug your wife.
20:28There we go.
20:29$67,920.
20:33And audience!
20:34Everybody gets Krispy Kreme!
20:39Elephant!
20:40We were good.
20:41When we come back, three new players will battle it out to see who's the most average.
20:46Don't go anywhere.
20:47The Greatest Average American will be right back.
20:5553.
20:57Feel free to grab one.
21:08Welcome back to The Greatest Average American.
21:11Our pursuit of average continues with three new contestants.
21:14Let's see who we've got.
21:16Greg.
21:17Nate, an insurance agency owner who grew up
21:20on a horse ranch in Wyoming.
21:22Ooh.
21:22It's Gwen.
21:23Yeah.
21:27A flight attendant turned pilot from the state of Arizona,
21:31it's Nashawn.
21:32Let's go. What's up, Nate?
21:34Let's go, y'all. Let's go!
21:38And a restaurant manager from the beautiful
21:41Show Me State of Missouri.
21:42It's Preston.
21:43What's up, Nate? What's up, people?
21:46How we doing?
21:49You know, uh, he's from Missouri and wrestled, uh,
21:52University of Missouri.
21:53Yeah, did it.
21:54Uh, yeah.
21:56Big time.
21:57He was known as Greg the Greg Warren.
22:00Yeah.
22:01It was when they did regular names.
22:03Uh, all right.
22:04Good luck to all of you.
22:06I'm excited.
22:09Let's get to the game.
22:10Woo!
22:10In our first round, these first two questions
22:13are worth one point each.
22:14Here's your first question.
22:17We asked 100 average Americans which of these fights is the most fun.
22:22A, snowball fight, B, food fight, C, pillow fight, D, hockey fight.
22:3010 seconds.
22:33You've been in a pillow fight, Greg?
22:35Yes.
22:35It was just me and the pillow.
22:38Who won?
22:39It was a draw.
22:43All right, Preston.
22:46I went with D, hockey fight.
22:48Yes.
22:49It's very fun.
22:50Listen.
22:50I think when you're watching a sport and there's fighting going on that's allowed,
22:55I think, why not?
22:57It's a real fight.
22:58It is a real fight.
22:59It's a real fight.
22:59Yeah.
23:00Yeah, I agree.
23:01Nashawn.
23:02Well, I'm gonna have to go with B, food fight.
23:06Yeah.
23:07Because, like, who hasn't thought about throwing food across the cafeteria
23:11and doing all that stuff before?
23:13Food fight.
23:13All right, Gwen.
23:14Well, is this supposed to be a, uh, a C for pillow fight?
23:19Yeah.
23:20Pillow fight's nice and sweet.
23:21I think so.
23:22We all got all the opposite answers.
23:25We asked 100 average Americans, what did they say?
23:32That's unbelievable.
23:33Wait a minute.
23:35That's unbelievable.
23:36Half of America doesn't even have snow.
23:38That is true.
23:42Snowball fight, 42%.
23:43Hockey fight, 6%, Preston.
23:46Not to, uh, not to discourage you, but I'd maybe start thinking about your answers.
23:52Uh, next question.
23:55We asked 100 average Americans, which movie villain makes you say,
23:59Okay, yeah, I see where they're coming from.
24:03A, Wicked Witch of the West.
24:06B, Chucky.
24:08C, Ursula.
24:09D, Darth Vader.
24:1210 seconds.
24:16Hmm.
24:20I don't know.
24:22I don't know.
24:23I don't know.
24:25Preston?
24:25I went with A, The Wicked Witch of the West.
24:28All right.
24:28The Wicked Witch of the West.
24:30Great answer.
24:30Nishan.
24:31I also said A, The Wicked Witch.
24:34Yeah, yeah.
24:34Because, first of all, everyone has seen Wicked at this point.
24:39Yes.
24:39I've cried in sympathy with her.
24:41Like, I feel bad for her.
24:43So it's about her.
24:44Yeah.
24:45Oh, wow.
24:45I have not seen Wicked.
24:47No.
24:48But, uh, okay.
24:49Wizard of Oz is, like, one of the best movies of all...
24:51But, they...
24:53Is Wicked new, right?
24:54Wicked is better.
24:55Wicked is better.
24:56I said what I said.
24:57A lot of people agree.
24:58All right.
24:59Gwyn, is Wicked better than Wizard of Oz?
25:04Uh, no.
25:05I'm sorry.
25:06There is only one original Wizard of Oz.
25:08Yes.
25:08I did go with A, Wicked Witch of the West, though.
25:11Yes.
25:11Yes.
25:12I will give you that.
25:13You can see it.
25:15All right.
25:16We're gonna find out what the average American said.
25:19Did they say snowball fight again?
25:23Wicked Witch of the West.
25:25You're welcome.
25:26You're welcome.
25:27You nailed it.
25:28I would've got it wrong, because I haven't seen, uh, Wicked.
25:31All right.
25:34Moving right along.
25:35I know how to take the fun out of a game show more than anybody!
25:43All right.
25:44Everybody gets one point.
25:45We're all tied up.
25:47All right.
25:47Two questions left.
25:48I'm gonna raise the stakes a little, so this next one is worth two points.
25:51All right?
25:52All right.
25:54We asked the 100 average Americans what two words come next in this famous quote from
26:00Franklin D. Roosevelt.
26:01What percent got it right?
26:04The only thing we have to fear is...
26:07Blank, blank.
26:09Ten seconds.
26:12Greg, was Franklin D. Roosevelt a good guy?
26:15You went to school with him?
26:16I did, Nate.
26:17I went to school in 1935.
26:20Oh, wow.
26:21No, I didn't know F.E.R., Nate.
26:22That's enough, Greg.
26:23Uh, do y'all know the saying?
26:28I'm like, uh...
26:28We need you flying planes.
26:30We don't need you to...
26:31Fear itself.
26:32Oh, okay, I know it.
26:33Yeah.
26:33I know it then.
26:35I said that in my head, but I just didn't want to be loud and say it.
26:37Yeah, I do that all the time.
26:39Well, it's actually the opposite, actually.
26:41There's a lot of stuff I'm like, I should have kept that inside there.
26:44Uh, all right.
26:45The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
26:48Gwen, what percent you thought got it right?
26:50I said 60%.
26:5260%.
26:53So here's the thing I'm thinking about.
26:55What percentage of the population out there are Gen X and boomers, right?
26:59Yeah.
26:59Because I feel like we're gonna know this more than maybe a millennial.
27:04Absolutely.
27:04Yes.
27:05Uh, Nishan.
27:07Well, first of all, I'm the first five days of Gen Z.
27:11Oh, okay.
27:11All right.
27:12Who's Gen Z?
27:13She's gonna age me like that.
27:15But I chose 56%.
27:17Ooh.
27:18Preston.
27:19I went a little higher.
27:20I went, what, 87%.
27:21Yeah.
27:22I saw it on there.
27:23I knew the quote.
27:24Yeah.
27:24Right off the bat.
27:25Yeah.
27:26I feel like the average American could, too.
27:27Oh, yeah.
27:28Yeah.
27:30Well, we're about to find out.
27:31This is worth two points.
27:33Y'all have one point.
27:34What percent got it right?
27:4162%.
27:41Oh, my God!
27:42Gwen!
27:44All right!
27:45Yes!
27:48Yes!
27:48Yes!
27:49Yes!
27:49Last question.
27:50Anybody's game.
27:51Because this one is worth three points.
27:53Gwen's a three.
27:54Nishan.
27:55Preston, one.
27:58We asked 100 average Americans what's the most important invention of all time.
28:03A, the wheel.
28:04B, the light bulb.
28:06C, air conditioning.
28:08D, the internet.
28:10You have 10 seconds.
28:20It's a tricky one.
28:22It's a tricky one.
28:23It's a tricky one.
28:24Uh, Preston, let's start with you.
28:26I went with D, the internet.
28:28Yeah.
28:29Uh, Nishan?
28:31I also went with D, the internet.
28:34Yeah.
28:34Yeah, yeah.
28:35The internet's bananas.
28:37So, that is a good...
28:39Yeah.
28:40It's pretty wild.
28:42It's kind of unfair to be up there with...
28:44The light bulb's like, I mean, come on, I did some stuff, man.
28:47I know!
28:48Like, it phoned me up against the internet.
28:50Gwen?
28:51Um, I also went with, I think, Al Gore's invention of the internet, right?
28:54The internet.
28:55Right, wasn't it?
28:55Yes.
28:56Uh, the other ones are all great.
28:58The wheel, that really mattered.
28:59That all sent us towards the internet, which calls all those things dumb now.
29:06What did the average American say?
29:10The light bulb.
29:11Wow.
29:12All right.
29:13I think it's like what the light is the reason you have the internet.
29:18Uh, all right.
29:20Gwen, you're going on to the next round of three points.
29:22Oh, my God!
29:22Oh, my God!
29:24Good way!
29:26As you see.
29:28Nashawn, Preston, we have a tie.
29:30To break it, I'm going to ask you one last question.
29:33It's a percentage question.
29:34Whichever player gets closest to the correct answer, we'll be moving on.
29:40We asked 100 average Americans, have you ever gotten your hand stuck in a Pringles can?
29:47What percent said yes?
29:4910 seconds.
29:53Nate, you know I sold Pringles for 10 years.
29:55Yeah.
29:56I heard about that.
29:57Yeah.
29:58Efficient use of space.
30:00It is.
30:01All right.
30:02Preston, what did you say?
30:03I said 7%.
30:04Nashawn?
30:05I went on the high side and said 80%.
30:0780%.
30:07I like it.
30:10Hey, we made a choice, and I like it.
30:15One of y'all will be here.
30:17One of you will be sadly going home.
30:20What percent of the average American said they got their hands stuck in a Pringles can?
30:30Nashawn is the winner by 3%.
30:34Congratulations, Nashawn.
30:35Oh, man.
30:35And that means he's moving on to the next round with Gwen.
30:39Unfortunately, Preston, you're the most below average tonight and have been eliminated.
30:44Thank you for playing, though.
30:46When we come back, request to crown the Greatest Average American continues.
30:50Do not go anywhere.
31:02Welcome back to the Greatest Average America.
31:06Gwen and Nashawn are one step closer to playing for the average American salary of $67,920.
31:12All right.
31:14I want it.
31:15I want it.
31:16I want it.
31:17All right.
31:18This next round is all about getting into the mind and body of the original Greatest Average
31:23American himself.
31:24Uh, that's me.
31:27And tonight, we will be testing my knowledge on...
31:32...breakfast cereals.
31:37All right.
31:38Okay.
31:39Greg has made a list of his 30 favorite breakfast cereals.
31:44I will have 60 seconds to name as many of them as I can.
31:48That's it.
31:50And to figure out who's going to the bonus round, you two are predicting how well I'm going
31:53to do.
31:54One of you will start off by guessing exactly how many of Greg's favorite cereals I can
31:58name in 60 seconds.
32:00The other will write over if you think it will be more than that, or under if you think
32:04it will be less than that.
32:05If you're right, you're headed to the bonus round.
32:07Gwen.
32:08Yes.
32:08You scored the highest in the first round, so you get to decide would you like to guess
32:13the number I will name, or the over-under?
32:16I would like to do the over-under.
32:19All right.
32:20Nashawn, how many of Greg's favorite cereals do you think I can name in 60 seconds?
32:27Write it down.
32:28Show the audience.
32:29Gwen needs to see it as well.
32:31Nashawn, Nate loves cereal.
32:34He always has two bowls.
32:37We never thought that Greg could hurt you.
32:40Uh, all right.
32:43Gwen, do you think I will go over that number, or under it?
32:46Write down your guess.
32:47Do not show anybody.
32:48Only you know.
32:51All right.
32:52Answers are in.
32:53It's my time to shine.
32:55I'm going to my little spot.
32:57All right.
33:00Oh, here we go.
33:02Greg, a little help, please.
33:04Let's put 60 seconds on the board.
33:07Good luck, Nate.
33:10On your mark.
33:12Get set.
33:14Cereal.
33:15Fruity Pebbles.
33:16Cocoa Puffs.
33:17Frosted Flakes.
33:19Lucky Charms.
33:22Golden Grahams.
33:24Cheerios.
33:25Honey Nut Cheerios.
33:26Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.
33:2825 seconds.
33:29Uh...
33:3045 seconds, Nate.
33:31Uh...
33:31You've got seven.
33:33The...
33:35Uh...
33:35Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
33:38Uh...
33:39The, uh...
33:41Oh, man.
33:42I got a Coke...
33:43I said Cocoa Pebbles.
33:44Uh, Cocoa Puffs.
33:45Cocoa Pebbles.
33:4630 seconds, Nate.
33:46I don't know if I said Cocoa Pebbles.
33:47Uh, Fruity Pebbles, I said.
33:50Uh...
33:50Lucky Charms.
33:51I keep going the same ones.
33:53I'm sorry.
33:54Uh...
33:55Oh, man.
33:5515 seconds, Nate.
33:56All right.
33:57All right.
34:01Uh...
34:01It's just...
34:02All right.
34:03Cheerios.
34:04Oh, I know you want me.
34:06Yeah, it makes so many people mad.
34:08I don't...
34:10Uh...
34:10I'm sorry.
34:12I went...
34:13I went really blank.
34:15I'm sorry.
34:17You know, I'm also on TV, so I'm just as nervous.
34:23How many did I get right?
34:24Well, you got eight, Nate.
34:26Oh, wow.
34:27Which ones did I miss?
34:29It's all of them?
34:33All right.
34:33I'm not know these.
34:35I bet...
34:36I bet Golden Graham surprised you.
34:38Yeah, it was true.
34:39I bet y'all didn't see that one coming.
34:41All right.
34:42It's the moment of the truth.
34:44Sean, how many cereals did you think I could do?
34:49You did better than I could, but I guessed eight.
34:53Eight?
34:53An exact number.
34:55You got it exactly right.
34:57Nicely done.
34:58I'm high.
34:59That means you're moving on to the voters' round automatically.
35:02Gwen, thank you for playing.
35:05You were just barely below average tonight,
35:07but thank you for being here.
35:09Sean is officially our greatest average American.
35:13Yes!
35:14And with that one, $10,000.
35:16But can he turn it into $67,920?
35:23Find out when we return to the greatest average American.
35:36Welcome back.
35:37I'm here with our winner, Nishan.
35:40He has earned the coveted title of the greatest average American.
35:44And with that comes $10,000.
35:46Yes!
35:47All right.
35:49That cheers to keep no matter what.
35:51And now you have a chance to win the average American salary of $67,920.
35:58Right in this pocket. It's coming to me.
35:59I'm gonna put a little extra in there to help cover all your taxes.
36:04So there you go.
36:05That's why I love you.
36:07You the man.
36:08What will you do if you win it?
36:10Oh, it's going to pilot debt.
36:12Y'all know it's very expensive out here to be a pilot.
36:15So it's gonna knock out some of that debt real quick.
36:19Well, that's wonderful. That's great to hear.
36:21This is for your pilot dreams.
36:24You showed you can think like the average American,
36:27but there's one more group of average Americans you need to face,
36:29and that is our audience.
36:34Before the show, we asked them seven questions.
36:37You have 30 seconds to predict how the majority of them answered.
36:41Get five right, and you go home with $67,920.
36:47But beware, because it's three strikes and you're out.
36:51All right?
36:52Audience, Nashawn wins.
36:53You're all going home with one of my favorite things.
36:55Julian, what is that thing?
36:57Tonight, everyone will win Church's Texas Chicken.
37:01All right!
37:04Come on!
37:08I'm trying to feed y'all, okay?
37:09I want to feed y'all.
37:11He's doing all he can.
37:14All right.
37:1530 seconds on the clock.
37:19Here we go.
37:22Does this audience think a hot dog should be considered a sandwich?
37:25No.
37:28Which would they rather play, mini golf, regular golf?
37:30Mini golf.
37:32Have they ever cut their own hair?
37:34No.
37:36Would they rather work out in the morning or at night?
37:38Morning.
37:40Which do they prefer, movie night, game night?
37:42Game night.
37:44Which do they think is a better magic word?
37:46Abracadabra.
37:48Do they own a ladder?
37:49Yes.
37:51There we go.
37:51Seven questions.
37:53Oh, shoot.
37:59Do you own a ladder?
38:00Y'all own a ladder, right?
38:02Yeah.
38:04All right.
38:05Does this audience think a hot dog should be considered a sandwich?
38:09You said no.
38:11See, it looks like...
38:12They should, right?
38:12They're from...
38:13You believe that, right?
38:13Nashville people, man.
38:14Yeah, yeah.
38:15We know what sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches.
38:17Exactly.
38:17That's not a hot dog.
38:18That's not a hot dog.
38:19Nobody wants that.
38:19That's not a hot dog.
38:21Does the audience agree?
38:22Did they say no?
38:25All right.
38:26Woo!
38:27We got one on the board.
38:29This one's gonna be interesting.
38:31Which would they rather play, mini golf or regular golf?
38:36You said mini golf.
38:37Audience, would you rather play mini golf?
38:42Oh!
38:42Oh!
38:45I thought that could be...
38:47That's a good one to get.
38:49All right.
38:49We got two right.
38:51Have they ever cut their own hair?
38:53You shouldn't.
38:54You shouldn't.
38:55You shouldn't.
38:57You shouldn't.
38:57I've cut mine.
38:59Hopefully these people are not like me.
39:01I'm praying.
39:02Yeah.
39:04All right.
39:06Did the audience say no?
39:09Oh.
39:14All right.
39:15We got one strike.
39:17Uh-huh.
39:17Two questions right.
39:19Would they rather work out in the morning or at night?
39:21You said morning.
39:24Audience, did you say morning?
39:27Yes.
39:28Yeah!
39:29All right.
39:30All right.
39:31Now we got some momentum.
39:33They got three right.
39:34We only have one strike.
39:36Which do they prefer?
39:38Movie night or game night?
