"Press Your Luck" is the best game on television!
- Tonight, these three players are after big bucks.
But they'll have to avoid the Whammy
as they play the most exciting game of their lives.
From the studios at Trilith LIVE,
it's time to "Press Your Luck"!
And now, here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"
Elizabeth Banks.
- Hi!
[upbeat music]
♪ ♪
Well, welcome to "Press Your Luck,"
the game where we turn big dreams into big bucks.
Let's meet our three players.
♪ ♪
A puppeteer from Los Angeles, give it up for Leonard.
- Hey, everybody!
- A computer scientist for the Navy from Waldorf, Maryland,
say hello to Jacob.
- Hi, America!
- And a mental health therapist from Sacramento,
please welcome Elisabeth.
- Hi, Elizabeth. Name twins.
- Welcome and good luck to all three of you.
Tonight, you take on our Big Board.
It is loaded with cash and prizes
and every time you stop the board like this, stop,
you add a little money to the bank.
Simple as that.
The player with the most cash and prizes
in their bank at the end of round 2 gets to keep it
and goes on to the bonus game for a shot at $1 million.
First things first, let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Here's the first one.
If Harrison Ford bought a Chevy
and Chevy Chase bought a Dodge Dakota
and Dakota Fanning bought a Ford Bronco,
how many vehicles were purchased?
[buzzer rings] Jacob.
- Three.
- Leonard, is it three, four, six?
- Three. - What do you think, Elisabeth?
- Three, Elizabeth.
- It is in fact just three vehicles.
That's a spin for Leonard, three for Jacob,
and a spin for Elisabeth.
- Yes. - On the board!
- There we go. - Question 2.
Last season, we learned America demands their grilled cheese
sliced diagonally.
But according to a 2025 survey by Tillamook,
what type of cheese is the most
popular-- Elisabeth?
- Cheddar.
- Popular in that grilled cheese sandwich.
Leonard, is it cheddar, American, Gruyere?
- Cheddar.
- What do you think, Jacob?
- I'm going to say American.
- Well, it turns out most of America also likes cheddar.
So Leonard picked up a spin.
Sorry, Jacob, no spins for you.
And Elisabeth picked up three spins.
Last question for this round.
If you were to pick up the phone
and call your abuela, your nonna, or your bubbe,
you'd be making her very happy.
And according to "Parents" magazine,
you'd be calling what member of your family?
Elisabeth? - Grandma.
- What do you think, Leonard?
Is it grandma, your mother,
your first cousin twice removed?
- Grandmother. - What do you think, Jacob?
- Grandmother.
- It is indeed your grandmother.
Which means Leonard picked up a spin for a total of three.
Jacob picked up a spin for four.
And Elisabeth got three spins for seven.
Now let's see if we can turn these spins
into cash and prizes.
It's time to go to the Big Board.

This wild ride is just getting started.
We're giving out gallons of Frosty treats here
at "Press Your Luck," so come on back
and see what else we give away.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Now before we jump into round 2,
let's learn a little bit more about our contestants.
Leonard, from Los Angeles, tell me about yourself.
- Well, I'm a ventriloquist puppeteer.
- OK.
- It started, like all great stories do, with my mother.
So when I was around ten, she got this, like,
really creepy little figure and I was like,
that's the creepiest thing I've ever seen
and I played with him for a little bit.
And she was like, well, if he's so creepy, give him back.
And I was like, no. [laughs]
- Did you happen to bring one of your puppets today?
- Actually--
- I'm about to meet a puppet. I'm very excited about this.
- Hi!
- Oh! - Hi.
Whoo!
- Yeah, well, this is--
- I'm Jimmy.
Hi!
- Hi, Jimmy.
- Hi. Hi, Elizabeth. Oh, wow.
- Nice to meet you. Welcome to "Press Your Luck."
- Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
- So this is your full-time job, puppeteering?
- Yes.
Well, me and my wife, we have a company called--
- Puppet Day! I get to perform for the kids!
- Yep. He actually performs for the kids.
We work with kids on the spectrum.
We work with shy kids
and we help them come out of their shell.
But the main thing is you can do it, too, you know?
- Yeah!
Welcome to "Press Your Luck." Good luck.
- Bye!
- Jacob from Waldorf, Maryland, tell me about yourself.
- Hi, Elizabeth.
I am a computer programmer for the Department of Defense.
- OK.
- And that is all I can tell you about what I do.
- OK, fancy work for the government, I can see.
All right.
What do you do when you're not working?
- I've been a lifelong game show junkie.
Since I've gotten older,
I've started collecting game show memorabilia
and one of my prized possessions,
my good luck charm for today, is this.
- What is it?
- This is one of the original slides
from the '80s version of "Press Your Luck."
- Yes, look at that. You can see the amount of money in it.
- Yes, $1,500.
- Yeah, from back when Peter Tomarken was the host.
- Yes, yes. - So cool.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck."
We're so happy you're here, Jacob.
Good luck tonight. - Thank you.
- Elisabeth is here from Sacramento.
- Yes, yes! - Tell me about yourself.
- Well, Elizabeth, I am here today celebrating life.
Yes.
I am a cancer survivor, three times diagnosed.
- Oh, Elisabeth, I'm so glad that you're safe
and here with us tonight. - Yeah.
- And now, you are a therapist.
- Yes, I'm a mental health therapist.
I actually went back to school
to become a doctor in sociology,
but I just graduated in May, last May.
- You got your doctorate? - Yes.
- Congratulations, Dr. Elisabeth.
- Whoo!
- Good luck to all of you.
All right, it's time for round 2.
Here we go.
Dr. Dre officially became a billionaire this year
according to Forbes
thanks in part to his new collab with Snoop Dogg.
The hip-hop legends are getting into
the adult beverage business
with a line of canned cocktails called gin and what?
[buzzer rings] Jacob?
- Juice?
- Leonard, is it juice, soda, tonic?
- Juice. - What do you think, Elisabeth?
- Juice.
- It's that gin and juice!
- Yes! - You know it! Good job.
Leonard picked up a spin, Jacob picked up three spins,
and Elisabeth picked up a spin.
Question 2.
I love a baseball game.
I love the guy in the cape.
I love the pitcher on stilts.
I love when the whole team comes out
to do a fully choreographed dance.
I mean, I'm not talking about a regular MLB game.
I'm talking about a team from Savannah, Georgia
named after what yellow fruit?
Leonard? - Banana.
- Jacob, is it banana, lemon, papaya?
- Banana. - What do you think, Elisabeth?
- Banana. - It's the Savannah Bananas.
That's right.
Leonard picks up three spins,
Jacob picks up a spin, and Elisabeth picks up a spin.
- That's my entire Instagram feed.
- I know. Mine, too. They are so fun.
I am part of Banana Nation.
OK, this is our last question,
our last chance to pick up spins
to bring to the Big Board.
When you have one card left, you shout uno.
When you get five numbers across or down,
you shout bingo.
But if you're swimming in the pool with your eyes closed--
Elisabeth?
- Marco Polo.
- What do you shout to make your friends respond, Polo?
Is it Marco, taco, HoJo?
Leonard? - Marco.
- Jacob? - Marco.
- It's Marco Polo.
That means Leonard picks up a spin for five.
Jacob picks up a spin for five.
And Elisabeth picked up three spins for five.
Let's take these five spins to the Big Board.
Here we go.
Marco!
- Polo!

A lot of game left to play.
Anything could happen.
- I pass it right now and pray he Whammies the last one
and then we have a three-way tie.
- If there's a three-way tie, there is a spin-off.

And I'm gonna press my luck!

I would not be here,
I would not be who I am without my amazing wife.

He is the kind of person who thinks of others

- Wow.
Pretty nice.
And then, I see a finely dressed man right here, too.
- This is my amazing dad, Dr. Lenny Moore.
- Welcome, Dr. Moore.
Thank you for being here. Good luck to all of you.
All right, Leonard, let's do this.
You are gonna face off against the Whammy over five rounds.
At the end of each round,
you can take whatever money you've made
and walk away or press your luck and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
If you make it to our final round,
our Big Bucks Bonanza, one spin could be worth $100,000.
But there are still Whammies out there.
Four Whammies, you're out of the game.
If your bank in the bonus round ever reaches $500,000,
the game's over because we automatically
bump those total winnings to $1 million.
You gotta get halfway.
We take you the rest of the way.
In this first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
But I know you know that
there's always personalized prizes on the board
that we pick out just for you. - Let's go.
- You want to see your first one?
- I'm really excited.
- Here it is.
It's a voiceover booth.
- Yeah!
- Tell me about this voiceover booth.
- So I'm an aspiring voice actor,
and this would take my auditions,
recordings to another level.
- Yes.
We need to put that professional voiceover booth
up on the board for Leonard!
Ooh, let's put a second prize up.
Why not? Here it is.
- We got two?
- Barbecue for life. - Oh, what?
Yo!
- This is barbecue, pork ribs, and chicken
delivered to your door once a month for life.
And we're also including a lifetime supply
of Masterpiece barbecue sauce. - [laughs]
- I'm from the South.
- Yes.
- Masterpiece was my grandfather's
favorite barbecue sauce, so barbecue for life, please.
- Oh, it's up there. Put it up!
It's on the board. OK, let's get to the game.
You're starting off this first round with five spins.
Press your luck. - OK!

It's OK.

I love it because I get to add another prize
to the board just for Leonard.
Show him what it is.
It's Jim Henson's Creature Shop puppet.
Look. That's you, Leonard. That's you.
- That's me.
- And Paula going to New York City, where you'll go
on a Jim Henson's Creature Shop experience
and create custom puppets.
You'll get the chance to meet some of Jim Henson's
most famous characters.
- Oh, my god. - Wow.
- Professional puppeteers, this is where you go.
- I grew up watching Jim Henson.
So to have Jim Henson Creature Shop
create our characters... - Yeah.
- Would be phenomenal.
- Whoo! All right!
Jim Henson's Creature Shop puppet experience.
- Whoo!
- Leonard, you're gonna play for that
and the Big Bucks when "Press Your Luck" comes back

It would mean the world for me to be able to repay him
for how much he's invested in my life.
all: Aww.
- Escalade for Dad is going up on the board.
There it goes. - Put it up!
- Leonard, in round 3, the Big Bucks are $50,000.

[peaceful music]

- Leonard, you're in the danger zone now.
Four Whammies put you out of this game.
You have one spin left.
And you're going to take that spin
when "Press Your Luck" comes back right after this.
We're gonna see what happens.
I'm putting the Whammy in the cooler.
See how I do that?
I go, that's what were doing.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Leonard. - Yup.
- We are in the midst of round 3.
- Yes, we are.
- As a reminder, you are in the danger zone
because four Whammies puts you out of the game
and you already have three. - Yup.
- We're gonna get out of this round right now, Leonard.
- Yes, we are. - Do it.

I see Big Bucks. I see Lose a Whammy.
I see Jim Henson's Creature Shop puppet.
I need luck!
And stop!

This is the best one. - Boom!
- Lose that Whammy!
- Listen. - We know.
- This is a very special square.
We are gonna light up
all the squares that you get to pick from.
You can have that 50, but you get a spin.
- So... - The puppet's up there.
- The only two options here,
we take the Jim Henson shop,
this was the last spin,
and we go home.
We take Lose a Whammy and we keep pushing.
I feel like those are
the only two options right now.
What do y'all think?
- I don't think you would get over losing that puppet.
- No. - Yes.
- But Lose a Whammy keeps you in the game.
What does your gut say?
[suspenseful music]
- We're gonna lose that Whammy!
- Lose a Whammy!
- He's gonna lose the Whammy. - Yeah.
- Do it with me. Say bye-bye.
Bye-bye, Whammy. - Bye-bye.
- [wails] - Bye-bye, Whammy.
OK, this is a brand-new game now,
round 4, where the Big Bucks are jumping up to
