Transcript
00:00of strategy, knowledge, and fun, it's Tic-Tac-Toe.
00:04And now, here's our host, Jim Bellwell.
00:09Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:11Hello, everybody.
00:12Thank you very much.
00:15Terrific. A nice, enthusiastic audience.
00:17We're going to have some fun today on Tic-Tac-Toe.
00:19We have two great players.
00:20They're right in the middle of a game.
00:22And, Charlie, bring them out for us.
00:24Jim, our co-host, Jim Bellwell,
00:26is here with us today.
00:27And, Charlie, bring him out for us.
00:29Jim, our current champion, is a singer
00:31whose interests include chess and scuba diving.
00:33His winnings total in cash and prizes, $9,100.
00:38Meet Dan Tullis.
00:40And his opponent is an aspiring actress and translator
00:43whose interests include travel and tennis.
00:45Meet Toti Lewis.
00:47Hi, Toti. Welcome back.
00:52Thank you.
00:54Your dress now matches your beautiful green eyes.
00:55I did that on purpose for you.
00:57You did. Nice job.
00:58You're in the business of legal translation of something, right?
01:01What kind of work does that mean you do specifically?
01:03Well, I work for a couple of attorneys
01:05who do international law.
01:08And when they have contracts that come in from West Africa,
01:11France, various legal contracts that are all in French,
01:14it's real critical to have the right translation
01:18for the contracts. That's what I do.
01:20It's an important job.
01:21Sounds like a key job, I would say.
01:23Well, one of the things, of course, in Tic-Tac-Toe,
01:26it's a very critical moment
01:27every time you try to answer a question.
01:29I wish you lots of luck there.
01:30Thank you. Anybody here, by the way,
01:31to root you on in the audience?
01:33Yes, I have a real good friend.
01:35And also in green, matching colors.
01:38Who is it? Raise your hand out there.
01:39Maria Surgeon. Maria.
01:41Terrific. I wish you luck.
01:44Thank you.
01:46Let's maybe walk over here and say hi to my champion, Dan.
01:48How are you feeling today? Pretty good. Pretty good.
01:50Who do you have in the audience? You know, you probably have
01:51somebody rooting you on out here as well, huh?
01:53Yes, I have my brother, Daryl, and his wife, Denise.
01:56Super. All right.
01:58They helped you in the bonus game last time, didn't they?
02:00They did.
02:01You know, as a coincidence, it's been interesting
02:04because in the game you're both right in the middle of,
02:06one of the categories is religions.
02:08And you've answered several of those questions very, very well.
02:12Your father's also a minister, isn't he?
02:14Yes, he is. And I have to answer those questions real well
02:17or he'd kill me.
02:18Kind of a life and death situation?
02:19Yeah, I think so.
02:21I just wanted to point out, it's such a coincidence
02:23because we choose these categories way in advance.
02:26And when you get an opportunity to pick them,
02:27you've been doing well so far.
02:29And you've been doing so well, you're up to $9,100.
02:32Yeah, great.
02:33Let's get back to it and see where we stand.
02:35Here we go. Here we go.
02:38All right, Dan, Tullis and Toti Lewis are the players.
02:41And let's check out where the board was,
02:44how it was looking when last time we left off.
02:46It looked just like this. In fact, here are the categories.
02:48First, they were numero uno, three to win, astronomy,
02:52famous lovers, religions, top this, maps of nations,
02:56opponents' choice and second jobs.
02:58Remember, those red categories are special ones
03:00and I'll be sure to describe them as we get to them.
03:02Now, let's find out what the board looked like.
03:04One X, two Os on the board and the pot was worth $700.
03:08So, let's kind of get back to it here
03:10and shuffle the categories.
03:13Dan, your turn.
03:16I think I'll take second jobs up in the top there.
03:19All right, Dan, going for a block.
03:21This singer who has been nicknamed the Godfather of Soul
03:24tried prize fighting before songs
03:27like Papa's Got a Brand New Bag and I Feel Good
03:30made him a star.
03:32For a block, name him.
03:33Brown. Right.
03:37James Brown. Nice job.
03:40One of the kings of soul. Okay, we'll put an X
03:41on the board for a block.
03:43$700 pot now. Let's shuffle them up.
03:47Toti.
03:48Yeah, I got to go with numero uno to block.
03:50See if you can block Dan this time.
03:52Listen carefully, Toti.
03:53In 1974, the year that he broke Babe Ruth's
03:57Lifetime Home Run record,
03:59this baseball player named Hank received 900,000 letters,
04:04the most any private citizen had ever received
04:07in a single year.
04:09For a block, name him.
04:11Aaron. Right, you have a block.
04:16Hank Aaron's the man. Toti, good for you.
04:18We'll put an O on the board for a block
04:20and now with a $1,100 pot, it's time for us to take a break.
04:23We'll come right back.
04:29All right, it's time to get back to it.
04:30We just have four boxes remaining
04:31and Dan and Toti are right in the middle of a battle here.
04:35It's time to shuffle with a $1,100 pot.
04:39And Dan, it's your turn.
04:41I think I'll stay away from one and go from famous lovers.
04:46Famous lovers is the category, Dan.
04:47Dan, listen carefully, in 1982,
04:50this Olympic ice skating champion named Dorothy
04:53married handsome young actor, Dean Paul Martin,
04:56who was the son of a comedian and singer, Dean Martin.
04:59Name that ice skating star.
05:01Hamill. Right.
05:04Dorothy Hamill, terrific ice skater,
05:07earns you an X in the bottom left-hand corner, Dan.
05:10$1,300 pot.
05:11Three boxes remain, let's shuffle them.
05:14Toti.
05:17Three to win.
05:18Three to win, special category.
05:20Either one of you can earn the box.
05:22Both of you get to play.
05:25You're going for a box.
05:29That's just, you're going for a box.
05:31And I'm going to read questions to both of you.
05:33When you think you know the answer, hit your buzzer.
05:35Whoever correctly answers three questions first wins the box.
05:40Now, the subject this time,
05:42George Washington. Hands on the buzzers.
05:46Name the man who was Washington's vice president.
05:49Toti. Adams.
05:50Right, you have one.
05:52In which state was Washington born?
05:54Toti. Virginia.
05:55That's right. One more correct answer from you,
05:58Toti, and you'll have the box.
05:59Name the small valley near Philadelphia
06:02where Washington and his army spent ...
06:04Dan. Forge.
06:06Judges? We need a more complete answer, please.
06:07Valley Forge. That's right.
06:09It's now one to two.
06:11What was the first name of George Washington's wife?
06:14Toti, for the game. Martha.
06:15Right, for the box. You got it.
06:22Nicely played, Toti. You had three special categories
06:24on the board. You had to pick one.
06:25That was it, but you earned it.
06:26Nice job. Put an O on the board with a $1,500 pot now.
06:30Two boxes remain. Let's shuffle them.
06:34Dan.
06:35Well, I guess I'll take three to win, to block.
06:37All right. So, for a block. You need it for a block.
06:40Toti, if you earn this box this time around,
06:43you'll become our new champion.
06:45The subject this time, MASH. Hands on the buzzers.
06:51What does the letter M stand for? Dan.
06:54Military. No.
06:55Toti, what does the letter M stand for in MASH?
06:58Medical? No. Mobile. Next question.
07:02Name the Asian country in which the TV ...
07:04Dan. Korea.
07:06Right. You have one.
07:07What was Major Houlihan's nickname?
07:09Toti. Hot Lips.
07:11That's correct. It's one to one. Next question.
07:14Name the inept bumbling doctor played by actor ...
07:17Dan.
07:19Burns. Right. Okay. Two to one.
07:22One more correct answer from you, Dan,
07:24and you'll have the block.
07:26What was the number of TV's MASH unit?
07:29Dan. 4077.
07:31You have a block.
07:33Nice job, Dan.
07:35Special category of three to win gets an X.
07:38You have a block.
07:39We now have $1,700 in the pot and just one box remains.
07:43It's time to shuffle it.
07:47Toti?
07:48Got to be religions.
07:50This is the category you face.
07:51If you can successfully answer this question, Toti,
07:54we will have a tie game.
07:57Now, in the gospel according to John,
07:59this man was raised from the dead by Jesus Christ.
08:02The miracle gained Jesus many followers,
08:04but it angered village leaders
08:06who began to plot Jesus' trial and death.
08:10For a tie game, name the man Jesus raised from the dead.
08:14Lazarus. We have a tie.
08:16Nice job.
08:20Nicely played, both of you. We have a tie game.
08:22The board is completely full. Nowhere else to go.
08:26We have a $1,900 pot,
08:28and what we're going to do right now is we're going to clear the board,
08:30and we're going to take a look at nine brand-new categories,
08:33and here they are.
08:35Scary Things, Seesaw, Zoology, Games, Asia,
08:40Trick or Treat, and the next category is...
08:43What was the number of TV's MASH unit?
08:45Dan.
08:47Seesaw, Zoology, Games, Asia,
08:50Trivia Dare, Mixed Words, Take Two, and Animal Songs.
08:54All right, this is game number two.
08:56Toady and Dan, you both played that first game really very well.
08:58You filled up the board. We got a $1,900 pot.
09:01And Dan, you're the champ. You get to start off this game.
09:04Well, I'll start with Asia.
09:05All right, going for the center box.
09:07You'll have some extra time, Dan.
09:09After the Chinese communists conquered the mainland in 1949,
09:13this general moved his nationalist forces
09:15to a large island about 100 miles away.
09:18Name the general and name the island.
09:21Here's your extra time.
09:32Dan, after the Chinese communists
09:33conquered the mainland in 1949,
09:35this general moved his nationalist forces
09:38to a large island about 100 miles away.
09:40Name the general.
09:41Shanghai Shek.
09:42Right. Part two, name the island.
09:45Taiwan.
09:47Correct. You've got the center box.
09:53Taiwan or Formosa would have sufficed.
09:55Dan, nice job. You got the center box.
09:56And let's go ahead and shuffle the categories
09:58with $2,200 in the pot.
10:02Toady, your turn.
10:03I'm going to take Scary Things in the lower right.
10:06All right, let's see what this is about this time.
10:08Many people suffer from phobias,
10:10which are irrational or uncontrollable fears.
10:13One of the most common is a fear of confined or narrow spaces.
10:18What is that fear called?
10:20Claustrophobia.
10:21Right you are.
10:24Okay, Toady, good for you.
10:25Put an O on the board in the bottom right-hand corner.
10:27We have a $2,400 pot.
10:30It's time for us to take a break.
10:31We're going to come right back after this.
10:38Back to you, Jim.
10:40We're right in the middle of game number two
10:41between our players Dan and Toady.
10:43They really have been playing very well.
10:44The pot is worth $2,400.
10:47It's time for us to shuffle.
10:49And Dan, we're over to you.
10:55Let's see.
10:56I think I'll take Zoology, upper left.
11:00All right, Dan. If one of these insects is nearby,
11:03it's possible to find out the temperature
11:05without a thermometer.
11:07Listen for the insect's familiar chirping sound,
11:10count the chirps in 15 seconds and add 39.
11:13The total is the approximate temperature
11:15in Fahrenheit degrees.
11:17Name the insect.
11:18A cricket.
11:20Right.
11:23I tell you.
11:25You learn something new every day, don't you, Dan?
11:27Yeah.
11:28I tell you, put an X on the board
11:29in the top left-hand corner.
11:30$2,600 pot now.
11:32Let's shuffle them again.
11:35Okay, Toady.
11:38Take two.
11:40Upper right.
11:41Take two, special category.
11:42Either one of you can get the box.
11:44You're going to, you're getting it for a strategic location.
11:47All right, listen carefully to this first opening clue.
11:51This circus performer whose real name
11:53was Charles Sherwood Stratton
11:55was given his famous nickname by England's Queen Victoria.
11:59I'm looking for the name of that circus performer.
12:02Now, Toady, you can answer now,
12:04but if you think you need a second clue,
12:06you'll have to risk the box
12:07by allowing Dan an opportunity to answer
12:09with this clue.
12:11What are you going to do?
12:13I don't need any more clues.
12:15You're going for the answer.
12:16All right, Toady, for the box,
12:19name that circus performer.
12:25Mervin.
12:26Tom Thumb.
12:28Good old Tom Thumb.
12:29Hey, can't give you the box.
12:30It goes unclaimed.
12:31With a $2,600 pot,
12:33let's shuffle them.
12:36All right, Dan, you got a smile on your face.
12:37What are you going to do?
12:40I don't know what I'm smiling about right now.
12:42Games, I think, upper center.
12:44Games it is, Dan.
12:46This game has long been popular at American picnics.
12:49Players stand at either end of a 50-foot-long pitching court
12:52and, using an underhanded toss,
12:55attempt to score points with ringers and leaners.
12:58Name that popular outdoor game.
13:00Horseshoes.
13:01Judges?
13:03That's an acceptable answer, Jim.
13:04All right, horseshoes is right, Dan.
13:09Horseshoes or horseshoe pitching is what it is, Dan.
13:12Good for you. All right, put an X on the board for Games.
13:15$2,800 pot now.
13:17Let's shuffle the categories.
13:20Toti?
13:21Well, it's going to have...
13:22For one block, I'll try animal songs.
13:25Animal songs going for a block.
13:29One of the big hits of 1976, Toti,
13:32was a song called Muskrat Love.
13:34The song was recorded by a man named Daryl Dragon
13:37and his wife, Toni.
13:39For a block, what was that couple's famous stage name?
13:42Toni and Tennille.
13:44Judges?
13:45That is not acceptable, Jim.
13:47Sorry, Toti. Captain and Tennille.
13:50All right, so that box remains unclaimed.
13:53With $2,800 in the pot, we're going to take a break
13:56right at this critical juncture and come right back.
13:58♪♪
14:03Welcome back. Dan and Toti are really playing a hot game here.
14:06We have a $2,800 pot and just four boxes remain.
14:10Time to shuffle.
14:11♪♪
14:13Okay, Dan.
14:15Uh, Jim, I think I'll go for Games at the bottom to win.
14:18All right.
14:20If you answer this question successfully, Dan,
14:22you're going to win your fourth game of Tic-Tac-Dough.
14:28For the game and $12,100,
14:32name the popular board game
14:34that might feature the murder of Mr. Body
14:37in the conservatory with a candlestick by Professor Plum.

15:24and I think all of us wish you the best of luck

15:31one time around, $250, some nice parting gifts.
15:34Thanks for playing Tic-Tac-Dough.

15:40-♪♪
15:41Play against the Dragon. Come on over.
15:42Let's do it.
15:43-♪♪
15:47Wow.
15:49Well, it took you one game, and you had to go
15:51to a second game to finally beat her.
15:52She was a tough one.
15:53-♪♪
15:54But congrats, you just picked up a lot of cash.
15:57I think it was an even $3,000.
15:58Ooh, let's see how well you do in the bonus game this time.

16:03behind those numbers, and, of course,
