- [Announcer] And now, it's time to play
America's favorite game show,
The Triangle is Right.
And here's America's favorite game show host,
Guy Smiley! - Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is Guy Smiley, America's favorite game show host,
and welcome to The Triangle is Right.
It's that frantic, funny game show
where the answer to every question is a triangle.
(clapping and cheering)
Yes.
So now, let's meet our contestants.
Here first is Mr. Carl Mericana from Savannah, Montana.
Welcome, Carl.
(clapping)
- Thanks very much, Guy.
- Now Carl, do you know how to play our game?
- Sure do, Guy.
I've been watching it every morning.
- Oh right on, Carl, okay.
Now, here from Sesame Street,
let's meet and greet Miss Prairie Dawn.
- Hi, hi Guy.
Hi, everybody.
- Yes now, Prairie, do you know the rules to our game?
- Well yes, I think I do, Guy,
but let me get this straight.
You just answer a triangle to every question?
- That's right, Prairie Dawn.
The triangle is right.
(clapping and cheering)
- That is a game?
- Okay now, let's start playing our game.
(sighs)
- Not much of a game.
- Now, for the first question,
and it's for you, Carl.
Are you ready?
- Yep, yep, yep, you bet.
- [Guy] Now there is a shape with three sides.
That's three, one, two, three sides.
Can you tell me what that shape is called?
(clock ticking)
- Is it a triangle?
- Yes, that's absolutely right, it is a triangle.
How about that audience, huh?
- Oh wow, I just guessed.
(laughs) - Oh brother.
Oh boy.
(sighs)
This is the whole game?
This is a pretty silly game.
- Okay, Prairie Dawn, it's your turn.
Now, how do you feel?
Are you excited?
- Well, yeah, I'm a little excited but
I'm also a little confused.
I mean, I just answer a triangle to every single question?
- You got it, Prairie Dawn.
So now, are you ready for your question?
- Well, I guess so. - It is a picture question.
- Uh-huh.
- [Guy] Here goes, Prairie.
- Oh.
- [Guy] Now look at that shape.
Can you tell me what it is called?
- Well.
I mean, it is a triangle but--
- That's correct, it is a triangle.
That's wonderful, how about that audience?
She got it right.
Wonderful, wonderful. - This is crazy.
- Okay now, Prairie and Carl,
are you all ready for the mega question?
(audience gasping)
- The what?
- The mega question.
- Oh, I guess. - Yeah, okay.
The mega question is in three parts.
Now, part one.
Listen carefully.
This is the sound of a certain musical instrument.
(soft dinging)
Okay? - Sure.
- Now part two.
This is what that instrument is shaped like.
Would you lower the triangle,
lower the mystery shape, please?
- Oh.
- Now, your third clue.
Listen carefully.
The name of this instrument is the same as its shape.
- Oh, come on, guys.
- Now, can either one of you tell me
the name of this instrument?
- Well, but of course, it's--
(bell rings)
- Yes, Carl?
- Is it a circle?
(buzzer rings) - Oh no!
- Oh no, I'm sorry, Carl.
That is the wrong answer.
- I don't believe this.
Carl, don't you get it?
The answer is always the same.
Come on, every question is the same answer, you silly.
(groaning)
Oh brother, this is really a dumb game.
How do I get out of here?
- Now, Prairie Dawn.
(groans)
Prairie Dawn?
- Look Guy, I'm leaving.
- No no, wait one second, Prairie.
Can you tell me the name of that instrument?
- Well Guy, of course I can tell you
the shape of that instrument.
- Now, for the mega question,
what is the answer, Prairie Dawn?
- But you're just trying to get me to say a triangle.
- That's it, it's a triangle.
You win the grand prize, Prairie Dawn!
- No, I don't want the grand prize.
- Wonderful. - I just want to
get out of here.
- It's an all expenses paid trip
to the Bermuda Triangle.
- I want to get back to Sesame Street.
Oh boy. - What a beautiful audience.
- You are so silly. - Yes, indeed.
Thank you for playing The Triangle is Right.

Did she win, did she win? - Wonderful, wonderful.
