Not only was he winning. He was laughing at them.

His "cheerful" line was my favorite moment. Haven't stopped chortling. ";^)

The entire “cheerful” comment was a lark. “How dumb of a question can you come up with, Alright I'll play along but don't expect me to be serious. The question is a joke and I'll answer it with a joke....Let's see what can I say that will get people talking, that is so ridiculous that everyone will see it's absurd....Hmmmm.”

The wheels were turning and the twinkle in the eye were there....”CHEERFUL”

The audience got it.... but they didn't. They laughed. Today I've seen his “cheerful” played again and again. HE WON. Got people attention in a positive upbeat way.

GO NEWT!
