Dave has learned is how much easier this game looks that it is. Chris agrees with that.
Chris's ten-year-old son, Tyler, is a passionate game show fan; he found out how to audition from the WWTBAM web site.
Dave talks to Tyler, who is in the audience with his mother and little sister.
Dave: Now how's dad doing? I heard the one thing that you were concerned about was that dad was going to make you look silly. How's he doing?
Tyler: Fine. For now.
Dave: That's overwhelming support, there! Any advice before dad starts up again?
Tyler: Answer the questions!
