Gollum (to himself) -- Master Sauron will hurts us my precious… we must leave this place…
Regis -- Sauron did you say? Ok… let's dial him up.

*the sound of a ringing phone comes over the speakers in the studio, followed by a receiver being picked up… Gollum cowers, not understanding what's going on*

Female Voice -- Thank you for calling the office of the Evil One, if you don't think we're evil enough, just wait… this is Blanche how may I direct your call?
Regis -- Hello Blanche, this is Regis Filbin of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", can we speak to Mr. Sauron please?
Blanche -- Hold please…
Gollum -- NOOOOO! NOT BLANCHE! We hates her my precious! HATES HER! She stings us with nasty papercuts and bad coffee!

*The phone clicks and a dreadful voice comes over the line, filling everyone in the studio with a horrible fear*

Evil Voice -- Who bothers me?
Regis -- Hello Mr. Sauron, this is Regis Filbin with "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", we've got your friend Gollum here, and he needs your help with his $2,000 question. The next voice you hear will be that of Gollum…
Gollum -- Master Sauron! Don't hurts us! Please!
Sauron -- Silence!

*the room falls deathly silent*

Sauron - Gollum you FOOL! How dare you reveal my plan to the almighty Regis? Traitorous wretch! I will condemn you to the fires of anguish! Forever you shall burn for your inclusion of Regis in these matters. Long have I feared his wrath… but now is not the time for our confrontation. COME TO ME! I command you! Let none stand in your path, good or evil… you must escape from Regis's grip! Run! Crawl! Return to ME! NOW!

*there is a click as Sauron hangs up*

Regis -- Well… I must say that was definitely one of the more unique phone calls we've had on our show, and it seems your friend didn't really know the answer to the question. Do you have an answer? Gollum?
Gollum -- HSSSSSSSS!!!! NO! The Regis must stay away! It trickssss us into revealing the masterssss planss! DAMN THE REGIS!!! CURSE HIM! KILL HIM!!!! HURT HIM!!!! We hates the Regis FOREVER!!!!

*Gollum leaps deftly from his chair and scampers past Regis's chair*

Regis -- I'm afraid your time is up, the correct answer was of course B, my good friend Kathy Lee Gifford got her start on Name That Tune! In fact, she's come to the studio to say hi! Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my lovely co-host from another job, Kathy Lee!

*Kathy Lee steps in from the shadows and waves to the crowd happily. Gollum continues his rampage, knocking over cameras and lights, looking for a way out. He sees that Kathy Lee has just entered, and runs towards her, trying to use the exit she just came in through… but she is in the way*

Gollum -- NOOO!!! Evil Kathy Lee! EVIL! We KILLS IT! Kathy Lee -- What? What's goin on? Reeg? Who let this talking dog in here?

*Gollum jumps up, grabs onto the crane camera, and swings over towards Kathy Lee. He lets go, timing his fall perfectly so that he is able to land on her back. He rears his head back, and then bites her head off at the neck. The audience gasps in horror*

Regis (to himself) -- Yes! Finally! The spell is broken! Now I can conquer the world unhindered!

*Gollum hops off Kathy Lee's dead body and scampers for the exit. Regis turns to the camera and continues as if nothing has happened*

Regis -- And now it's time to find our next contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"!
