Article Adjective Noun

OPHIRA EISENBERG, HOST:

And now to end this for once and all, and I mean for this week anyways. Let's bring back our winners from our previous game. We have Olivia Bumgardner from Who's That Girl.

(APPLAUSE)

EISENBERG: Andy Cohen from War, Oy, What's It Good For. Liz Kash Stroppel from Character Voices, Mark Kujawski from Crisp Game Arenas and Kiki Turner from Pop Goes the Answer.

(APPLAUSE)

EISENBERG: I'm going to turn to our puzzle guru John Chaneski to take us out.

JOHN CHANESKI: Our final game is called Article Adjective Noun. It's a classic template for a book, movie and play title. Start with an article like "the" or "an," throw in an adjective and end with a noun.

In this round, we'll give you the name of an author, playwright or director then a noun. You give the adjective that completes a famous title by that person. For example, if we said F. Scott Fitzgerald's Gatsby, you would say great.

EISENBERG: Great.

CHANESKI: Great.

(LAUGHTER)

CHANESKI: That was pretty good, as in "The Great Gatsby." Now, we're playing this spelling bee style, so one wrong answer and you're out. You'll only have a few seconds to give us an answer. The last person standing is our grand winner. Here we go. Olivia, Nathaniel Hawthorn's letter.
