"Your name again is... Toons?"

It's The Show! Homestar ad-libs to his usual sayings.

Characters (in order of appearance): Homestar Runner, Pom Pom

Date: December 12, 2003

Place: The Show stage

Icon: Microphone

Page title: "The Show!!"

Toons — The Ab-Abber 2000 from the Strong Bad Email suntan appears behind Homestar. "Contestant number 1, your name again is—" {he looks at the cue card and squints oddly} "Toons?"
Games — A poster saying "A Trip to Hawaii!" appears. "Now, time for our lightning round. We call it Games." A sign composed of flashing lights reading "GAMES" appears in the background and music is heard.
Characters — A chair with a sign that says "$??" appears. "So Characters, you were in a movie recently." {leans toward the 'camera'} "Tell us about that."
Downloads — A golden statue of The Cheat appears. "My next guest is an extremely talented webpage. Please welcome Downloads!" Pom Pom bounces past wearing a name tag that says "downloads" while music plays.
Store — "But if you guess correctly, you'll win... a new store!" The background lifts, revealing the Gremlin.
Email — The Blender appears, and a buzzer is heard. "No, I'm sorry. The correct answer was 'email'." A "wrong" sound effect is heard in the background and "E-mail" is displayed in a white font.

The buzzer noise is the DELETED noise.
This is the only Main Page in which Homestar does not blink when you're not mousing over anything. However, he does blink a little when you mouse-over Downloads.
This is the only Main Page in which the sounds produced by dragging your mouse over the buttons can't overlap each other.
Not counting Twin Homestar in Main Page 23, this is the only Main Page in which Homestar speaks in his current, deeper voice.
When Homestar is saying "Please welcome Downloads!", he shifts back to his older, higher voice to say "Downloads!"

Homestar's first line resembles a line in Pumpkin Carve-nival. Homestar (or rather, Strong Bad in disguise), about to judge Strong Sad's pumpkin, says, "Okay, contestant number one. Your name is... Strong Sad?"
The Gremlin originally appeared in Homestarloween Party as a supercharged version of the real car, thought up by Bubs.
The whole menu is the set of The Show, which originated in the email the show.

Many elements from the game show The Price is Right appear in this Main Page. Among them are Homestar's thin microphone, the "Trip to Hawaii" board, the unknown price tag on the chair, and the background lifting to reveal a car, including his way of announcing a new car.
The "lightning round" is a reference to Win, Lose or Draw.

In the email garage sale the chair seen on this main page has a "??" dollar amount.
