round is a video round. I'm going to start to read you a very
vague question, like a who am I? What am I? Where am

to help you find the answer. You can buzz in at any
time you want, and you can also buzz in multiple times. So if you get
it wrong, you're welcome to buzz in again. It's not a problem. But if you
get it right on the first one, we're going to give you three points. The
second clue is worth two points, and the last clue is worth one
point if you get it right. Great. We're going to add that to those very
close totals we have so far. But if you're wrong,
we're going to subtract the point from those totals. And so
everybody at home knows who's buzzing in and when they're buzzing in. I've asked each
of my guests to bring their own buzzers. Let's go through our
order tonight. Paul, let's hear your buzzer first.
