BILLY BUSH: "Let's see what's in the envelope$50000".
No pause for suspense purposes, no excitement in the voice, just a quick cut from let's see what this is to what it is.
Great market research, NBC. Three shows and out because of your genius. LMAD otherwise might likely have had a better run with Al Roker, who really wanted to do the show in the first place. Too many punks are wearing the suits in the front offices these days. That's your big problem. You notice the effects of this on way too many programs--most of the principles have to have some kind of a 'tude.

I happened to find the first show with Billy not long after I finished moving across town. All of you are right about the crummy edits, lack of suspense and such.
On the good side, the running gag with the Dealco stock in the first ep was pretty creative.
