Notes

add »
One of the mobsters in this episode, Brad Rutter, beat Ken Jennings by a rather large margin in the final round of the Jeopardy Ultimate Tournament of Champions shortly after Ken's winning streak. (edit)
A third mob help was added. In addition to "polling the mob" (asking how many mobsters picked a particular answer and asking any of them why they picked that answer) and "asking the mob" (asking two random mobsters, one with the correct answer, one with a wrong answer, why they picked their answers), players can also "trust the mob", where the contestant automatically chooses the mob's most popular answer. (edit)
Jay Stakelon walked away with $156,000 after eliminating all but eleven mob member, which is the lowest number of remaining mob members. (edit)
In this special episode, the first contestant, Jay Staketon, competed against a celebrity filled mob for a top prize of three million dollars. After his game, the top prize reverted back to the usual one million dollars for the second contestant, Paula Russell. (edit)

Bob: (after the question about what helps puts out fires) Who said C: Gasoline?
(#63 raises his hand)
Bob: Number 63, what arson squad do you work for?
Mobster #63: I don't go to the kitchen a lot, so...
Bob: Can I make a suggestion? Eat out the rest of your life. (edit)
Paula: I know I can walk with the money, but I'd like to skip with more. So I'm going for the mob. (edit)
Bob: I'm devastated. Six Laker girls were incorrect and that's --- that's disturbing. (edit)
Nikki: We're actors. That's why we don't have real jobs. We're not too bright. (edit)
Nikki: I'm actually playing for James LeSure. I was told all my money went to him. (edit)

Trivia

add »
As part of an NBC programming stunt, this episode featured four cast members of the program Las Vegas. The original broadcast of this episode in the United States was immediately followed by a special two-hour episode of Las Vegas. (edit)
Once again, this episode featured a revised format for the gameplay. The dollar chain stretched from $1,000 to $10,000 for each mob member that got the answer wrong. The contestant had to get three questions wrong at $1,000 each before being given the option to "take the money or the mob." If the contestant went on, they would then have to answer two questions at the $2,000 level before being given the chance to get out. After that, they could get out at any time.

A revised format was also used for the "Help" system. A new Help was added --- Trust the Mob. If the contestant used this, they would be locked into the answer most favored by the mob. Additionally, the contestant now had all three Help options available at any time and could freely select between them. (edit)
