00:00These four people need to compete for the prizes of a lifetime on The Price is Right.
00:10Presented by Imperial.
00:12Yes, Imperial, and only Imperial is unconditionally guaranteed to taste like the 70 cent spread,
00:18yet cost so much less.
00:20And now your host on The Price is Right, and here he is, Bill Cullen.
00:25Bill Cullen.
00:39Thank you very much.
00:44Good evening, this is John Charles Daly.
00:48Welcome to Bride and Groom.
00:50You probably wonder why I'm dressed like that.
00:53I can only explain by saying I have decided to become snappy.
00:56That's all.
00:57I'm going to be the snappiest dresser.
00:58Picture?
01:01All right.
01:02We'll have a new showcase we're going to be showing you all a little bit later on.
01:05Meantime, welcome to The Price is Right, and let's go over here and meet our four casually dressed contestants.
01:10Shall we just?
01:11First of all is our champion.
01:12He wasn't here last week, because last week we had a special panel of honeymooners,
01:16and I think he'd been married too long to fit into that category.
01:19Mr. Kenneth Jones, a truck driver from Los Angeles.
01:22This is his third week on the show.
01:23Total thus far, $23,767 worth of merchandise.
01:28Welcome back, Ken.
01:33Ken, did you watch the show last week when we had our special panel?
01:37I sure did, Bill, and I'm glad it was a special, because I didn't get a damn thing right.
01:41I didn't get nothing right.
01:49Well, there you are.
01:52And you didn't start out so well tonight, either.
01:56Well, let's say hello.
01:58And when I'm wearing my good suit, let's say hello to Mrs. Betty McCann, a housewife from Charlotte, North Carolina.
02:04Betty, do you have a family watching and careful there?
02:08Yes, I do, Bill.
02:09My husband's up here with me, and I have four children at home, two boys and two girls.
02:14Okay.
02:15Here's Mr. Dwight Dillon, a salesman from Martinsville, Virginia.
02:17What do you sell, Dwight?
02:18Insurance, Bill.
02:19Now I know why you got that tail on.
02:21Yeah.
02:22You came to see me.
02:23When I walked out here, one of the boys in the crew said all he needs are the white gloves and the casket.
02:30Here's Miss Allie Beth McMurdy, a student from Graham, Texas.
02:33What brings you to New York, Allie Beth?
02:35Well, Bill, I've been to a national tri-delta convention at Lake Placid.
02:39Are you a tri-delta?
02:40Yes.
02:41So is my wife.
02:42Is she?
02:43Yes.
02:44Oh, that's so exciting.
02:46Well, Bill, after you've been married to her for five years, it sort of dulls a little bit.
02:49No, I'm only...
02:50No, she is a...
02:51Where are you from?
02:52What school?
02:53Texas Christian University.
02:54She's from the University of Southern California.
02:55That's good.
02:56I'll tell you what.
02:57After the show, you two get together and give the secret hand clap, okay?
02:59Oh, I'll do that.
03:00Now, before we start our game...
03:02How'd I do there?
03:04Before we start our game, I'd like to give each of you a wonderful gift from Weaver Brothers,
03:07a full year's supply of Dove.
03:09There it is right there.
03:10Let's play the Price is Right.
03:11I think you all know how it works.
03:12You bid for the merchandise we present.
03:13Go as high as you like and stop wherever you like.
03:15Go to the person who bids the highest without going over.
03:18Big winner at the end of the show comes back again next week, takes on three new challenges.
