Alex: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to a special edition of Jeopardy. We call it ‘Jersey Jeopardy.’ I’d like to introduce you to our three contestants for tonight’s game. First, we have from Bayonne, New Jersey, Angelo Esposito. Good evening, Angelo.”

Angelo: “Yo.”

Alex: “Next we have Angela Soriello, from Newark. Nice to meet you Angela.”

Angela: “Heyyy, Alex.”

Alex: “And finally, from Colts Neck, New Jersey, we have Lars Johansson. Welcome, Lars. I must say, we don’t run across too many people in New Jersey named Lars. Are you a New Jersey native?”

Lars: “Actually, Alex, I’ve lived in New Jersey for almost two years now. I’m originally from North Dakota, but I love the Garden State.”

Alex: “Very interesting. Let’s get underway, shall we? Good luck to all of you. Lars, you pick first.

Lars: “I’d like Jerseytalk for $100, Alex.”

Alex: “For one-hundred dollars, the answer is, ‘It is a tree in Jersey’”

BUZZ

Lars: “The question is, ‘What is a pine?’”

Alex: “I’m sorry, Lars. That is not correct. Angela, you buzzed in second. The answer is, ‘It is a tree in Jersey.’”

Angela: “What is da numba dat comes afta two?”

Alex: “That’s correct. Angela, you get to pick.”

Angela: “I’ll take Jerseytalk for $200, Alex.”

Alex: “For three-hundred dollars, the answer is, ‘Italian tubular pastry shells filled with sweetened cheese, sprinkled with nuts or chocolate and covered with confectionary sugar.”

BUZZ

Lars: “The question is, ‘What are cannoli?’”

Alex: “I’m sorry, Lars. That’s Italian. Remember the category is Jerseytalk.”

BUZZ

Alex: “Angela, to you.”

Angela: “What are gah-NOOLS?”

Alex: “That is correct. Lars, you gave the proper Italian word and pronunciation, and the category is Jerseytalk. Sorry, Lars. Angela, it’s back to you.”

Angela: “I’ll take ‘What You Call Dat Guy’ for $100, Alex.”

Alex: “You’re having a bit of rough time, Lars. Sorry, that is not the correct response.

BUZZ

Alex: “Angelo, it’s up to you.”

Angelo: “What’s an asshole?”

Lars: “Wait a minute! This is baloney. I’ve never seen the ‘correct response’ be the same thing three times in a row!”

Alex: “Eddie, stop the tape! Lars, we will edit that last bit out for broadcast. Please try to refrain from making such remarks. OK, Eddie. Roll tape.”

Alex: “Angelo, you get to pick.”

Angelo: “I’ll take ‘What You Call Dat Guy’ for $400, Alex.”

Alex: “OK for four-hundred dollars, the answer is ‘The most dangerous person on New Jersey’s highways.’”

BUZZ

Lars: “I know I have it right this time. The question is, ‘What’s an asshole?’”

Alex: “Sorry Lars. That’s not correct.”

BUZZ

Angelo: “What’s a … friggin’ old guy?”

Alex: “No, Angelo. That’s not what we’re looking for.”

BUZZ

Alex: “Angela?”

Angela: “What’s an asshole from Ohio?”

Alex: “That’s right, Angela. It looks like we’re out of time. Angela is the big winner tonight, with Angelo coming in second. Lars, you finished with zero on the board. Sorry about that.”

Lars: “This is ridiculous, and Angelo, and Angela, you people are morons.”

Angelo: “Yo, asshole. You lookin’ for a problem?”

Alex: “Eddie, cut the tape.”
