The premise

Here’s the bit.

On Dan Vega's Mega Money Quiz, host Dan Vega warns contestants Paul and Colleen to watch out for the squares hiding Chunky, a fuzzy red mascot. Whenever Paul uncovers one, Chunky storms the stage with no real purpose: it tugs at Paul's shirt, fetches his backpack from the green room, smashes his laptop and forces a hat onto his head. Dan scolds Paul for swearing on a family game show and berates the performer inside the suit for speaking and for never working out the character's job, while Colleen's correct answers are forgotten and the broadcast unravels.

    Hi, I'm Dan Vega. Let's get started. Our contestants Paul and Colleen will flip a square from our Mega Money Board and it will show a dollar amount. But remember, watch out for the Chunky. Chunky eats your points and he gets very mad. Colleen, you're up first. Pick a square on the board.
