On the Money with Cousin Sal

BUT FIRST, IT'S SPRING BREAK
TIME.
MILLIONS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE
OUT ON VACATION FOR THE WEEK.
TONIGHT WE'LL GIVE SOME OF THEM
A CHANCE TO WIN CASH.
TIME TO PLAY A SPECIAL COLLEGE
EDITION OF "ON THE MONEY."
LET'S GO OUT TO THE STREETS OF
HOLLYWOOD, WHERE MY COUSIN SAL
IS STANDING BY WITH OUR FIRST
CONTESTANT.
I WAS GOING TO ASK YOUR NAME.

TIME?

DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME?

I WORK AT THE FRONT DESK OF A
HOTEL.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU EVER EXPERIENCE
HOOKERS THERE AT THE FRONT DESK?
>> I HAVE, BEFORE.
>> Jimmy: E ON, YOU HAVE?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND HOW DOES THAT
WORK?
>> USUALLY THEY KNOW WHERE
THEY'RE GOING.
>> Jimmy: THEY KNOW WHERE
THEY'RE GOING.
DO THEY HAVE TO GET A KEY TO GET
INTO THE ROOM?
>> I'M NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE A KEY
TO --
>> LISTEN TO JIMMY PLAYING DUMB
OVER THERE.
>> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT, HERE'S HOW
THE GAME WORKS.
WE'LL START WITH THE LOWEST
POSSIBLE DENOMINATION OF CASH.
IF YOU GET THAT RIGHT, YOU CAN
CONTINUE ON AND RISK WHAT YOU'VE
WON TO GO TO THE NEXT HIGHEST
LEVEL.
WE'LL BEGIN WITH THE PENNY.
COUSIN SAL, YOU HAVE A PENNY?

>> Jimmy: DON'T LOOK AT THE
PENNY, JUSTINE.
WHO'S FACE IS ON THE PENNY?
>> ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS CORRECT.
YOU WIN A PENNY.
NOW YOU HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE.
DO YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT PENNY?
OR DO YOU WANT TO GO FOR SIX
CENTS?
>> I WANT TO GO FOR A NICKEL.
>> Jimmy: SHE'S GOING TO GO FOR
THE NICKEL!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
ALL RIGHT, JUSTINE, WHO IS ON
THE NICKEL?

TOUGH.

HE'S A PRESIDENT.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A GUESS,
JUSTINE.

I'M SO SORRY.
YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE PENNY BACK
TO COUSIN SAL.
THANK YOU FOR PLAYING.
THAT'S HOW IT GOES, EVERYBODY.

I WANT TO BE.
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
DO YOU KNOW YOUR U.S. CURRENCY?

YOUR PARENTS FOR THE TUITION.
JUST BE RESPONSIBLE.

DO WHAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD DO
IN THIS SITUATION.
YOU'RE GOING TO GO FOR IT?
>> YEAH, I'M GOING TO GO FOR IT.
>> Jimmy: HE'S GOING TO GO FOR
IT!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I WANT TO SEE HOW MUCH FAKE
ENTHUSIASM I CAN WRING OUT OF
YOU BEFORE THE NIGHT IS DONE.
OSIE, WHO IS ON THE DIME?
>> I'M GOING TO SAY ADAMS.
>> Jimmy: OH, WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO TAKE THAT SIX CENTS AWAY
FROM YOU.

MORE?
BY THE WAY, WERE YOU BORN AROUND
THE TIME THE OC, THE SHOW CAME
