of the era with clips being provided. To start, McGuire asks a jump in question with the first person to buzz in getting a chance to answer. If he/she is right, they get 1 ''Clips'' star and a chance to earn up to 4 more by answering questions at each of the 4 colored stations (Purple, Red, Green or Blue). After a clip is played, the co-host at their station asked the question pertaining to that clip. If they answer wrong at any time, they must return to their podium and a new Jump in would be read. The contestant with the most ''Clips'' stars at the end of 3 minutes of gameplay wins a prize for themselves and a home player. In the event of a tie, one more toss up was read and the one who answered correctly would win. Three such rounds are played during the show with 4 different contestants playing and a different prize offered in each round. The one of the three winning contestants who has won the most ''Clips'' stars would go on to the Big Wheel Round for a shot at the grand prize.

Big Wheel Round

The winner of the first three rounds got a chance to spin an 8 colored space with 2 colors each. A clip will play on the colored station of where the wheel stops. If the contestant answers correctly on the final question, they win the grand prize.
