There's a new Nancy Drew series on the CW
that's premiering this Wednesday, October 9.
And to celebrate, they wanted to give someone in my audience
a chance to win $25,000.
I know.
So we're going to play a game.
But I need a contestant.
So raise your hand if--
just raise your hand.
Raise your hand if you are someone who
is encouraging kids to read.
Oh, me, me, me.
All right.
Keep your hand raised if you have a bookmobile that
provides free books to kids.
Keep your hand raised if your bookmobile is in Georgia.
Keep your hand raised if your name is Stan Tucker.
Come on!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi Stan Tucker!
How are you doing, Ellen?
I'm good.
How are you?
It appeared-- have a seat-- everybody
was going to raise their hand for anything.
And then someone else apparently has a bookmobile somewhere
that we should check out.
She kept her hand raised.
All right, so this is really wonderful that you're here
on this day, because you're providing out
of your own pocket books for these kids to read, right?
Mostly, yes.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
So you have a story about one homeless kid that you wanted--
what's the story about that?
Yes.
So every time I think of this story, I get the chills.
About two years ago, I went to a school
and gave books to all the kids.
And about two months later, the teacher called me back and was
like, this boy who'd been traveling from house
to house because he was homeless took that book
wherever he went.
And he was reading it so much that the cover was coming off
of the book.
And when I think about all the sacrifices
that I made to get this program up and running,
hearing stories like that makes it worth it.
And we think that it's just a book for a kid.
But sometimes that's everything for those kids.
It-- yeah.
Wow.
What a sweet guy you are.
All right.
So obviously, you don't need the money.
You're independently wealthy.
That's right.
I'll cut you a check now.
Yeah, but just in case you could use a little extra,
we're going to play Holey Roller.
And you have a chance to win $25,000, all right?
Wow.
Now, listen.
I'm going to show you how easy it is.
I mean, I'm not going to take time aiming.
I'm just going to do that, and I'm going to miss.
But look.
You're going to have two tries, OK?
All right.
So good luck.
[DRUM ROLL]
Ready?
Ready.
Do it.
No.
All right.
No.
That was too bad.
No.
I didn't do my bowling.
No, no.
What you did is you tried to copy me.
That's right.
You modeled it.
I am so sorry.
I should have shown you how to put it through the hole.
I was just showing you how to roll the ball.
I didn't realize you were going to--
OK.
All right.
[DRUM ROLL]
Oh, boy.
I tried to put it over because there was a stick in the floor.
You overcompensated is what I would say.
Yeah.
You didn't make it.
But you know what?
You deserve the money.
So here's a check for $25,000.
You're a good guy.
Don't forget to watch the new series, Nancy Drew, starting
Wednesday, October 9, on the CW.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
