I doubt the staffers will go through the trouble of an audition for a quick little 5-minute game.[/quote]Was there mention of a prize? Or a finish line score? Anything to indicate that this was an actual contest as opposed to a skit for funsies? Because as a skit, it was terrific.

No, which surprised me, as Fallon usually at least gives away a T-shirt.

Wrong version. But they could get some French-fry holders from McDonald's to use as wallets.

And yeah, they should have given away a tsotchke or (gasp!) $100.

They may well have done, off-camera.

Now why would they do it off camera and make no mention of it on the air?

The point was "let's play a game of Password with Betty White, isn't that cool?", not "let's play an audience game where the sole object is to win a prize, isn't that cool?"

For time? 'Cause it was a door prize? I dunno. Just a thought.

I think you've just solved the Clock Game problem.
