Holly Day : (shouting) Welcome to WHO IS THIS!  I’m your host, Holly Day, here with a star-packed evening of fun and excitement.  We have an amazing line-up for you this evening.  Can you identify these famous people from their answers to your questions?    The rules are simple- I will take five random questions about each one from the audience, then I’ll ask you WHO IS THIS?  Will they stump you?  Only time will tell! Remember, you can’t ask their name. Bob, tell us the fabulous prizes you have in line for any celebrity that stumps the audience:

Voice Over : Well, Holly, our guests tonight  have the chance to win some great stuff.  If they stump the audience, each will receive a custom haircut from Buzz’s Mohawk Central (helper holds up pictures of Fr. Rooney with a mohawk), plus their very own Great Dane puppy (helper holds up picture) along with a year’s supply of puppy chow.

Holly : Wow!  Who wouldn’t want that? But first, they have to stump this smart bunch of kids! Now, help me welcome our special guests for WHO IS THIS?

(Santa, Vadar, & Bum file in waving, with the bum at the end of the line.)

Holly : Boy, this is going to be a tough one! I don’t know if you’ll ever figure these guys out! (to Santa) Welcome to WHO IS THIS!  Are you ready to stump the audience?

Santa : Ho ho ho! They’ll never guess who I am.

Holly : So, who has a question for guest #1?  Remember- keep your guesses secret until we let our guest answer five questions.

(Holly calls on five kids, Santa answers, trying to be funny- for instance, if they ask “where do you live?” he could respond, north of Detroit)

Holly : So audience, are you ready to guess our guest’s identity? WHO IS THIS?

(audience shouts out the answer. Santa takes off his mask. Bell rings.)

Holly : Sorry Santa, they figured you out! You’ll have to wait for that fabulous haircut, I guess. (calling on someone who yelled the right answer) How did you know this was Santa Claus?  (child answers)

Holly : (to Darth Vadar) Welcome to WHO IS THIS!  Are you ready to stump the audience?

Darth Vadar : (breathing loudly) You are powerless to defeat me.

Holly : Uh...yeah... right. So who has a question for guest #2? 

(Holly calls on five kids, Vadar answers, trying to be funny)

Holly : So audience, are you ready to guess our guest’s identity? WHO IS THIS?

(audience shouts out the answer. Vadar takes off his mask [not his helmet, though] Bell rings.)

Holly : Sorry, Darth Vadar... sir! You couldn’t fool this bunch! (Vadar threatens Holly with his light saber) Ok, Ok, I’ll still let you have the dog.... (Vadar threatens with his light saber) ... AND the haircut. (calls on someone who yelled the right answer) How did you know this was Darth Vadar?  (child answers)

Holly : (to Bum) Welcome to WHO IS THIS! 

Bum : (shaking hands) I am so glad to finally meet you face to face.  I’ve always loved you.

Holly : Are you ready to stump the audience?

Bum : I’d rather just spend time with them actually.  I love being with them.

Holly : Well, that’ll have to wait.  Who has a question for guest #2? 

(Holly calls on five kids, Bum answers, trying to be loving and sensitive)

Holly : So audience, are you ready to guess our guest’s identity? WHO IS THIS?

(audience shouts out answers. Bum takes mask off. Buzzer rings.)

Holly : Whoa, our guest stumped everyone- even me! (to bum) I guess you’ll be getting that awesome haircut. How do you feel about that?

Bum : Actually, I’m pretty sad that they didn’t recognize me. They only looked at what I look like on the outside.

Holly : So... why don’t you reveal your identity to our audience?

Bum :  I’m Jesus.

Holly : (looking confused) You look...uh, well... How could we have ever known you were Jesus? Darth Vadar and Santa look exactly like we expect them to. (take suggestions from audience.  Prompt adults ahead of time in case no one else “gets” it: “whatever you do to the least of my brethren you do to Me”, Jesus in the distressing face of the poor, etc.)

Holly : (to audience) Wow, we know our media celebrities, but I guess we don’t know Jesus nearly so well!  Well, that’s the surprise ending of another amazing edition of WHO IS THIS!!!
