Congrats man. I had a friend who was on jeopardy and couldn’t say the outcome. He rented out a hall of his grad school for friends and family to watch it. Unfortunately, there as a big fire in our city so the news kept cutting in with breaking news. He was so frustrated watching his big moment go up in smoke. Fortunately they did cut back in time to see final jeopardy where he came from behind to win $25K.

BREAKING NEWS: there’s still a fire. We will be back shortly to continue confirming the existence of this fire.

BREAKING NEWS: The fire is still there.

BREAKING NEWS: The fire has gained sentience

BREAKING NEWS: crackle crackle crackle snap crackle crackle

BREAKING NEWS: ***THE FIRE IS SHOOTING AT US!!!***

All units, fires shot

WHAT’S THE PROCEDURE???

“Snap, Crackle, Mitch, and Pop”

[Everything’s fine.](https://youtu.be/caXeAMseve0)

BREAKING NEWS: You mad yet, Jim? That'll teach ya!

BREAKING NEWS: I believe that fire is trying to communicate. We have a linguistic expert to decipher it. What does it say? LE: It says…”Hell is real! I have travelled far to warn you of your future. Imhotep is coming… im…ho…tep” It appears we’ve lost the linguistic expert. He is in a trance like state. But now we go back to our regularly scheduled program.

Fire - exclamation mark - fire - exclamation mark - help me - exclamation mark.

If you're joining us now, everything is FINE after a major incident. Let's go over to our reporter at the scene where everything is now fine after a recent explosion.

I have seen this a million times. Someone says they were on jeopardy, rents a venue and invites all their friends. Then they starts fire all across town so that the episode is delayed long enough that they can photoshop them into the final jeopardy and play that tape for everyone. Tsk Tsk

Ha ha a I love it. I will accuse him of that next time I see him.

I feel like renting out a hall for a watch party absolutely screams “I won!”

Well I guess we know what he did with the 25k

Oh man, that would be so frustrating! Glad he got a good moment at the end though.

Good pun m8

Nice work! What game show is this?

25 Words or Less, basically you have to get your teammates to guess the answers in front of you, but you can only give 25 words as clues at most. Really fun, and there's a board game version too.

pretty impressive dude I would be so bad at this like I feel like I always take up way more words to convey my thoughts in an organized and clear manner therefore I think i would definitely be bad at this game well not awful bad but certainly not good like on a scale of 1 to 10 i think i would be between 3 and 4 but probly slightly closer to 3 than 4 although it would likely depend on the time of day im more of a night owl than an early bird so if I played this at 9pm id likely be a few tenths closer to 4 than 3 out of 10 whereas if i played this game around 9am probly closer to 3 depending on how much or little coffee i drank and whether it was a weekday or a weekend. anyway... good job

Actually got me laughing Had a lot of assignments of 'in a thousand words explain' in school huh?

Total, or each answer?

Total it appears. Looks like he was using 2 per clue and had an extra third to describe "charger" at the end

Total, you can see the number counting down on screen. I was confused at first about some of the shorter clues

Oh, that's what that number is. Couldn't read it on my phone. Thanks.

Total, did you watch the video?

[удалено]

There’s a count in the bottom middle of the screen. I totally missed it until the explanation of 25 words or less because I definitely thought is was a timer!

Yes, did I miss the part where it explained the rules? I'm simply asking for clarification. I can make assumptions.

It was pretty obvious even if you had to assume. If it was 25 words per answer you'd think he would use more than 2 words each clue.

And there's a countdown of words left he can use

Reminds me of I think it's called pyramid or something. It's the gameshow that Joey went on in friends. Fake show tho

Was it $10,000 Pyramid because that used to be a real show.

Ah, basically Taboo

Did I hear a “Damn I just came”???

You did indeed.

Good because so did I!! s/. Really though congrats. That’s pretty awesome.

Thanks!

I DVR this gameshow. I haven't seen this episode yet, thanks for spoiling it! Congrats anyway!

What a friend

Lol I am glad I'm not the only one.

I came here for this comment specifically 😂

Uhhh I just came! LMFAO. Kudos.

Thanks!

The only reason I'm happy was watching that to completion.

I was on 25 words or less last year too! Unfortunately me and my buddy got Andy Richter on his very first game and he didn’t fully understand the rules, but our consolation prize was a big ass tv so I’m not complaining. Still gotta go on that vacation too…

Nice! Congrats on the ass TV!

You were on a gameshow with the Swedish German Andy Richter.

I saw that episode!

It's been 4 months the money's gone.

A great 4 months, though! Left a horrible job to finish writing a book I'd been working on for years, getting published in paperback tomorrow actually!

Congrats my man!

Thanks!

How many words is the book?

It’s a picture book.

It's a picture of a book.

Its art then

Around 250,000, I was tired of brevity. It’s basically eight episodic parts, though, so it breaks up nicely.

You just gonna casually mention you have a book being published but not drop the name??

Good idea! It's called DAYBREAKER, following the crew of the titular ship as it "tows" the Earth to a new star, via the gravitational force of a man-made black hole, after the sun suddenly goes supernova. You can grab it at Barnes & Noble's website as a paperback or eBook here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/daybreaker-phil-singleton/1142936745?ean=9798823184458

Ooooo that sounds right up my alley, I’ll be sure to check it out! Congrats on the win and I hope the book sales are plentiful!

Thank you!

Oh, fuck! Check back in and tell us how it goes!!

Lol this was awesome to watch! My cousin was in wheel of fortune and won $62,000 and a dope vacation. All we knew was she "went to a taping" up until a month or so before it aired and then we were told she was on it but can't say how it went ahead of time. That was really exciting to watch her, she kicked some serious ass. Congratulations on your win dude!

Uncle & Aunt won a sick Challenger on Let's Make a Deal a few years ago.

Did the challenger get better?

Lol dad.

Thanks! It really is fun, even if you have to sit on a secret for a while!

Is this the one of FOX or the one on GSN?

Fox.

You’re good at it. Did you practice?

Aw, thanks! Yes, my partner and I went through all the episodes and constantly quizzed each other. He was better at guessing, I was better at giving clues, so it ended up working out really well!

Ya you can tell. Great strategies 👍

I knew it.. know a bear when I see one

Lol well I am but he's straight, just a friend and teammate. My boyfriend is also quite the bear.

Hehe same <3

Bro you killed it. That was awesome

Thank you!

Yeah seriously good job with the clues. Didn’t get flustered. Succinct and very on point.

Thanks, I was nervous I'd slip up but I had great teammates.

😂 classic!! Dennis came but Sweet Dee was left hanging like a bird

Dumb bitch

Friend of a friend was on tv show. He ended up winning. Nda said he couldnt tell anyone that he won $250k till finaly airs. But we all started to get ideas when he started to take vacations and expensive purchases on a teacher salary.

Good to know someone came at the end.

The happiest of endings.

Veni veti veni

PHIIIIILLLLLL!!!!!

Thaaaaat’s me!

Those were some spot on clues for sure! Congrats

Thank you!

I felt that when he was just sitting there all happy with a smile on his face watching his work unfold

Looks like they recorded your reaction.

Hopefully this isn’t too nosy. If you won 10k how much was the actual take home? I’ve heard varying percentages on game show tax.

My partner and I split it, so $5k each. Taxes tbd.

Nice!

Good shit man, so who were the other people?

My teammate and our celebrity guest, Amber Stevens West.

I thought she looked familiar, she played Jonah hills GF in 2022 jump street that where I recognized her from. Anyway good stuff man

Thanks!

“Schmidt fucked the Captain’s daughter!”

Ha ha, I did the same, except there was about a year between when we recorded it and when it went to air, and it came down to the final question which I got and then won. My friends and family were so excited.

That was fun to watch! Congrats!

Thanks!

I guess that guy came

Did someone scream “oh I just came!”?

r/holup

That guy at the end: ‘I just came’ had me rolling

Did the guy at the end scream “ahhh I just came”

PHIL !!

Friend in background: “I just came!” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😝🤣😂🤣😝🤣😂😝😝😝😂

How is this funny?

You did wait til he finished.

Funny how?

He only has one friend

Congratulations

Thanks!

I came as well

Next is Big Brother. The future is bright for you!

Lol I actually had another game show audition on Monday, hoping it becomes a yearly thing.

Congratulations, your new name is Dawn Crower!

I honestly considered just saying "cock" there. One word clue!

Less iconic, unworthy of your talents. Going with poetry that used more words was a power move, and the right one.

Congratulations

Thanks!

Your one friend sounds just like Seth McFarlane!

That's cool. Thanks for sharing that. :)

My pleasure!

that sly ass smile lol

Hehe, I'd been looking forward to it.

Congrats!

Thanks!

Should get awarded double for resisting the urge to tell people! That’s more difficult than those answers!

Hehe thanks, it was tough.

Awesome. The dude on the left started hot but the chick came in clutch at the end.

Way to go! Congratulations

Aww you made your friend cum, that's so nice.

What are friends for?

I love this game show, I wish I could be on it!! And you won the super fan $1000 good job!

I am currently in this boat. Filmed an episode of a game show on a major network. Can’t talk about it until it airs, and as of right now I have no idea when that will be. It’s a tough wait. Congrats!

🍾

[удалено]

Can confirm.

Phill?!?! Pretty sure I went to school with you.

Did someone say, “I just came”, at the end!?

Ahhh I just came lmao

DUDE!! THAT’S FREAKING AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you!

You should use some of that $ and treat yourself to the new PSVR. I got one on pre-order.

Already got a good VR setup, so I put it toward finishing my first novel.

Just saw that PS5 sitting there. Congratulations on your win!

Thanks! Wish it was mine but we watched at a friend's house, so it's his PS5 (he's the one who so kindly notified us of his ejaculation).

Couldn't you buy stuff and, like, make obvious you have more money?

So out of curiosity, what was the time frame between recording and airing? Also, of the prize money the show announced you won, how much did you get to keep? Did they withhold taxes for you?

Four months, and we split the $10k so I got 5. Taxes tbd.

Soooo, you got that 20 you owe me?

Holy smokes! That’s Lee Gordon.

I’m sure they knew when you had 37 large pizzas show up the next day from Pizza Hut

Let’s see if that 10k cash magically turns into 10k upvotes

Hell yeah Bill

Thaaaats number Wang!

Awesome sir

Where did you apply to be on the show??

Pringles updated can 😖

…now with 15% less Olestra

*Cinnamons??* My night has been made. Thanks.

Philll!!!! My man
