The banter today was more than any transcriber could be expected to include, but some background about Kiko is in order. Mo'nique pointed her out during her run, saying that Kiko had confronted her today, saying she still owed her $5 from years ago at the Apollo theater. Mo'nique promised that she would pay Kiko back during the next commercial break, with interest! So that was going to be a whole $5.50!
Then, after Mo'nique's run came to a sudden halt and the show came back to an audience contestant segment, Meredith appeared to make her own decision about which audience member to choose, pointing at Kiko again. "Let's have
that woman play!"
Then Meredith asked Mo'nique to come back on-stage and play the question with Kiko.
Then Mo'nique explained that the $5 thing was a promise she had made while appearing at the Apollo as an amateur talent--something to the effect that she'd pay each of the audience $5 if her performance didn't bring it (or something like that). Mo'nique still remembered that incident, clearly.
So, I guess there's a whole audience out there who are still owed their appearance on a One Question segment, too.
