The Anything for Money/Make Me Laugh Hour

[TLEberle]

Time for more questions for the all knowing members of the group.

On "Anything for Money," if the game ended in a tie, did they do anything to break it, or just give the money to both players?  (Also, each player was on for one show, right?)

And for "Make Me Laugh," I remember the second season of the Comedy Central run, where you first endured three minutes of funny, then playing one betting round before a winner was declared, but I didn't ever get to see the first season with Ken Ober.  Were there any substantive changes to the game?  (I know the final round was one minute for $500, rather than a straight $5 a second, but that's all).

Thanks again,
Travis

Both players kept the money won on AFM whether they won the game or not. High cash scorer won a bonus prize. A tie at the end of the game meant both players won a different prize. THere were indeed no returning champions.

The first season of Comedy Central MML had two betting rounds after the first three minute endurance round.

 Bonus round for season 1 had all three comics doing a "tag team" routine, and if the contestant endured whatever the time limit was (I think it was :90), they won $500. In season 2, they had a "Mystery Comic" come out and do a routine for :60.

 The Mystery comic round was for 100 seconds, not 60.  Also in season 2, round 2 was tag team, just as the season 1 bonus was.  In both cases, it was 30 seconds a comic, 90 seconds total.
