I have four clues for the Regis and Kelly Live KB Home Contest
(Plunger, Hammer, Paint, Carpet) but missed the fifth. What is the
last clue?

The fifth clue, given on April 30, is "lightbulb."

Here are two newsgroup posts on the subject:

">Oh no! Can anyone Please help me?  I have all four of the clues, set
>my VCR today and it didn't tape!  Did anyone get the clue for today
>4/30/02?  Thank you so much!
>
>

The clue for today April 30 is lightbulb."
