Transcript

OPHIRA EISENBERG, HOST:

Now we're going to crown this week's grand champion. So let's bring back Kirstin, Amy, Brian, Nick and James to play our Ask Me One More final round.

(APPLAUSE)

EISENBERG: And our puzzle guru Will Hines will lead this final round titled "Street Smarts."

WILL HINES, BYLINE: Yes that's right, Ophira. We're here in Southern California, where the car is king and traffic is queen. And in this final round, the answers are common phrases and proper names that contain a type of roadway. So for example, if I said this iconic Green Day song appears on the album "American Idiot," you would sat "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams." All right, we're playing this spelling-bee style, so one wrong answer, and you're out. You only have a few seconds to give us an answer. Last person standing is the ASK ME ANOTHER grand winner. And for your prize, you'll receive a special "Mad Men" finale poster autographed by Matthew Weiner. All right, here we go. Kirstin, this is where Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch and Elmo live.
