00:23Then how about this $58,000 jeweled necklace?
00:28You want a home on wheels?

01:03Hi there. Thanks, Jack.
01:05Thank you, everybody, and welcome to Wheel of Fortune.
01:07We have birds on our set. Did you see that? That's very nice.
01:09If there's a gas leak in the studio, we're gonna have some warning.
01:11And now, it's time to welcome our hostess.
01:14Here's Vanna White. Oh, Vanna, come out.
01:17-♪♪
01:24And we have three players we'd like you to meet now.
01:26Hi, Rhonda Wehry, right?
01:28Mm-hmm, that's right.
01:29From Plover, Wisconsin. Now, tell me where Plover is.
01:32It's right in the heart of Wisconsin.
01:34Oh, all right. Well, that, if you're gonna do it by internal organs, I can figure it out.
01:37What do you do back in Plover?
01:39Well, I'm a housewife. I'm married to my husband, Tim.
01:41And I have two children, TJ, who's two, and Hannah, who is three months.
01:45All right, well, I know you've got the whole state pulling for you, so lots of luck on our show.
01:48Thank you.
01:49And you, too, Jatrice, right?
01:50Perfect.
01:51Jatrice Budd. Well, thank you very much.
01:53And from Washington, D.C.
01:55Now, you're going to school at Howard University, right?
01:57Sure am.
01:58Yeah? How far along are you there?
02:00Beyond my required four years.
02:03I see.
02:04So you're pretty much just hanging out now, aren't you, Jatrice?
02:07Right.
02:08All right. What are you, are you majoring in anything?
02:10Retailing.
02:11Yeah? And you're getting a little practice right now in the real world?
02:14Yep. I work in a department store.
02:16All right. And it says in your spare time you enjoy partying.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Is that it? All right.
02:21Well, it sounds like a full life, Jatrice.
02:22Thank you.
02:23Well, good luck on our show.
02:24Thank you.
02:25And here is Judy Holley, who has come from West Palm Beach, Florida, to be with us.
02:28Welcome. You're a registered nurse back there, right?
02:30Yes. I'm doing consults for a terrific plastic surgeon.
02:33Mm-hmm. And your family want to brag about a little bit?
02:36My husband is in the audience.
02:37I'd like to say hi to my son, Rick, at the University of Florida,
02:40and my son, John, and his friends in the Navy.
02:43Oh, all right. Good.

17:07Monica, congratulations to you.
17:10Well, Jacris, I'm awfully sorry about the way things went here for you.
17:13So am I.
17:14I had fun.
17:15Well, I'm glad to hear we have a nice party here.
17:16Thank you.
17:17And Judy, congratulations to you.
17:18We'll have the radio and some cash.
17:19$46.25 your total.
17:20Thank you.
17:22Okay, Rhonda, come with me.
17:23Watch your step.
17:25Look at this roadster here.
17:26Jac, it's a beauty.
17:28It sure is, Pat.
17:29This is custom built.
17:30It's the Marlena.
17:31It's over $37,000 worth of roadster.
17:34All right.
17:35And how about this?
17:36We have this vacation of a lifetime here.
17:38It's four people for two weeks on the Orient Express.
17:41Queen Elizabeth II, the Concorde, the RTD, a lot of great things.
17:45Over $45,000 there.
17:47And take a look at that motorhome.
17:49That's a beauty, too.
17:50What's the price tag on that vehicle, Jac?
17:51That's $50,000 worth.
17:53Oh, and talk about over $50,000.
17:55What are you wearing there?
17:56I'm wearing a necklace worth $58,000.
17:59And we have this lovely green neon sign dropping even as we speak,
18:03representing $25,000 in cash.
18:05So take some time, think about it.
18:07We're going to watch some fascinating commercials,
18:09and we'll be right back and see what you can play for.
18:13Hey, it's just seven minutes past the hour right now.
18:15Been talking to you a little bit about the 40th anniversary of Tic-Tac-Toe.
18:19Now, there were actually three different versions of the show,
18:22and the one that started back in 1956 was very similar to the one that airs right now,
18:26the one from the 80s that we have.
18:28But the one difference, there was no bonus game, so there was no dragon roaring,
18:32and the boxes were worth just a little bit less money.
18:35It was an NBC show.
18:36The NBC show started off on daytime, and it had many different hosts.
18:39Jack Berry, as I mentioned, plus Gene Rayburn and Bill Wendell,
18:42who's David Letterman's announcer, or was up until just a little while ago.
18:45Plus, on the nighttime version, Jay Jackson and Wynne Elliott.
18:49Clevium's brought to you in part by Plus White One-Step Gel Tea Point,
18:52and results are guaranteed with a money-back refund if you're not completely satisfied.
18:56We'll finish off Wheel of Fortune. Be back in a minute.
19:00Introducing already $11,200.
19:03That was all cash, as I recall.
19:04Well, you would know that better than me.
19:05Yeah, sure. What do you want to go for in the bonus round?
19:07The cash.
19:08You know, is that my imagination, Jack, or is that a popular item around here?
19:11Can you figure it?
19:12No, it seems to be quite popular, and I can figure it, yes.
19:15Rhonda, you solve the puzzle, and we'll add to your winnings an additional $25,000.
19:22Good luck.
19:27All you have to do is solve this puzzle we have here.
19:29It's a phrase. Let's have five consonants and a vowel, please.
19:32An L.
19:33One.
19:34An N.
19:35Two.
19:36R.
19:37Three.
19:38F.

20:51Interesting prize, huh? They're cute little...
20:53Although I'm a little traumatized by the sight of little birds.
20:56This may be a sad story, but when I was very little, I came home from school one day
21:01and we had a little parakeet at home and I went to the cage
21:04and the parakeet was lying at the bottom of the cage
21:06and I was very young and I didn't know what to do
21:08and I called, I had the presence of mind to call a vet who said
21:11if you had some gasoline in the garage, take a little eye dropper
21:16and just put a drop on the bird's beak.
21:18I tried it, he sort of struggled to his feet, he got up,
21:23he flapped around a little bit, I opened the cage,
21:25he circled around two or three times, but then he fell right to the ground.
21:29Aw, so he died?
21:30No, he ran out of gas.
