00:00Here is Debra Lowinson, our current champion.
00:14If she wins one game today, she'll break the Joker's jackpot.
00:20From Television City, CBS presents The Joker's Wild.
00:25Now, here's the host of our show, Jack Barry.
00:34Thank you. Thank you very much, and a very cordial welcome once again to The Joker's Wild,
00:38the game where knowledge is king, but lady luck is queen.
00:41As you know, we have a champion who has won two games.
00:44If she wins the very next game, one in which we've already started, she will break the Joker's jackpot.
00:49Johnny, would you reintroduce the champ and the challenger, please?
00:53That I will, Jack. With a score of 200, our charming law student, Debra Lowinson.
00:59And her opponent, whose score is $150, an astronomer, his name is Steve Kilston.
01:08Welcome back to the program, champ and challenger.
01:11Debra, we're not going to waste a great deal of time here because you were engaged in the game,
01:14you were leading 200 to 150, and you know that a great many things, exciting things can happen if you win this next game.
01:19Of course, Steve's going to try to stop you. Are you not, Steve?
01:22That's right.
01:23And we shall find out whether you can do it or whether she can break the jackpot right after these messages.
01:31And now for a very critical game on The Joker's Wild.
01:33Debra Lowinson, you're leading 200 to 150.
01:36As you know, you had won $1,100 in previous games.
01:39If you lose this game, you're going to lose the $1,100.
01:42But if you should win this game, and if you should break the Joker's jackpot,
01:46you will take home in cash what's in the jackpot, $4,850, plus the amounts that you win in the game,
01:53and in addition to all that, as a special bonus, this handsome prize.
01:58Johnny?
01:59It's a Vega Cam-Back Wagon.
02:01With bucket seats and front disc brakes, it handles like a little sports car.
02:05Vega from Chevrolet, building a better way to see the USA.
02:09All told, all in all, with cash and prizes, about $9,000.
02:14Now, as you recall, when our time ran out, you had 200, Steve had 150.
02:17And here are the categories with which we were playing.
02:19The categories are as follows.
02:21Radio Serials, Holidays, JFK, Colleges, Famous Cats and Dogs.
02:26On this program, as you know, you make pairs or triples.
02:29If you get a single category, it's 50. A pair is 100.
02:31A triple is $200. $500 or more wins the game.
02:35It is your spin, your turn, Debra.
02:37Good luck. Let's see what happens in this, your third game.
02:41JFK, Colleges, Colleges.
02:45I'll take Colleges.
02:47That's a question worth $100 because it's a pair.
02:49It would bring you to $300.
02:51Located in Virginia, this university is named after English monarchs.
02:56It is the second oldest university in the United States.
02:59For another $100, name it.
03:01William and Mary.
03:02Right, for $300.
03:03All right, Steve, Kirsten, your spin, good luck.
03:08Joker, Radio Serials, Serials.
03:14I'll try Radio Serials.
03:15Okay, if you answer correctly, it's a $200 question.
03:18You will go to $350 to take the lead.
03:22What famous radio couple lived at 79 Wistful Vista?
03:28What famous radio couple lived at 79 Wistful Vista?
03:36Is that Philip McGee and Molly?
03:37Right!
03:38For $350.
03:42There you have it, the score is 300 to 350.
03:44Either player could go out with the right combination.
03:48All right, Debra.
03:50Go ahead, spin.
03:53Colleges, Holidays, Holidays.
03:57If you answer correctly, it's a $100 question.
03:59You will be at $400.
04:02In its strictly religious observance, it is the vigil of All Saints Day.
04:06However, this holiday, celebrated primarily by the young,
04:09is considered as basically pagan in origin.
04:12For $100, what is it called?
04:15Halloween.
04:16Right, for $400.
04:21This is a critical spin.
04:22Steve could go out with the right combination.
04:25Let's see what happens.
04:28Radio Cereals, Joker!
04:31Uh-oh!
04:32Uh-oh!
04:36How does he play it?
04:38I'll try Radio Cereals.
04:39Okay, that is a $200 question.
04:42If you answer this question correctly, you will have $550,
04:46and you will be the new champion.
04:48I point out, if you miss this question,
04:51and if she can't answer it, she will pick up $200 more,
04:55she'll have $600, which will make her a three-time winner.
04:58Added to the $1,100 is $1,700,
05:01which will be a grand total in cash of $6,550,
05:06plus the automobile, almost $10,000 in prizes.
05:10Here is your question.
05:12Steve, who was the girl from a little mining town in Colorado
05:16who found happiness as the wife of England's richest and most handsome lord,
05:22Lord Henry Brinthrop, B-R-I-N-T-H-R-O-P-E?
05:27A famous Radio Cereal for $200 in the championship.
05:30Give me the name of the cereal.
05:32I can only guess.
05:33Of the girl.
05:34I can only guess Stella Dallas. Is that right?
05:36No, not right.
05:38And now, for close to $10,000 in cash and in prizes,
05:44I need the name of the girl who was from a little mining town in Colorado.
05:48Who was she?
05:49Argyle Sundae.
05:50That's right!
06:23Winning close to $10,000 in cash and prizes.
06:27Beautiful car.
06:28$6,550, the exact amount that you've won.
06:32Now, let's say goodbye to this fellow,
06:33because it's not so nice to sit out here when somebody's won all this money.
06:36You played very hard,
06:37and I'm sorry you couldn't win all the money like this,
06:39but there will be a nice consolation prize waiting for you.
06:41Let's say goodbye to Steve Stackman.
06:43Goodbye, Steve.
06:44Goodbye, Steve.
06:45Good.
06:46Thank you, Steve.
06:47Bravo.
06:48Thank you, Steve.
06:49As for this young lady,
06:51you are fairly excited, would you say?
06:54A little bit.
06:55Just a little.
06:56You have $6,550 in cash,
06:59and in addition, of course, you get the automobile,
07:01which is valued at $2,500,
07:03so you're over the $9,000 mark, thereabouts.
07:05What are you going to do with the money?
07:07Do you have any idea?
07:08All I can say is right now I'm in a state of shock.
07:11I'm going to pay my tuition,
07:12and then I don't know what I'm going to do after that.
07:15I really don't know now.
07:16Would you like to split it with me?
07:18I mean, since you don't know what to do with it anyway.
07:21I'm kidding, of course.
07:22That money is yours rightfully so.
07:24You have me worried.
07:25No, not at all.
07:26You have one more year to go in law school?
07:28A year and a half.
07:29And you're going to have your own automobile now
07:31to drive back and forth?
07:32That'll be nice.
07:33Uh-huh.
07:34And we hope you have lots and lots of happiness and success
07:36with the car, with the money.
07:38I know our audience joins me in applauding you
07:40and saying very, very well done, Deborah Lewinson.
07:44Congratulations.
07:45Thank you very much.
07:47Thank you very much.
07:49And we shall be back with some new plans
07:51right after these words.
07:53You tired?
07:55The champion has departed,
07:57and with her, our good wishes for success and happiness
08:00with the money and the car.
08:02Our jackpot, as you know now,
08:03goes back to its original amount,
08:05which is $2,500,
08:07and the steady climb will go from here on in.
08:09$2,500 now on the jackpot.
08:11For anybody who can break that jackpot,
08:13and along with the money, of course,
08:15they would win a beautiful automobile.
08:17In order to get that jackpot going up again,
08:19we've got to get our games going,
08:20and we need some players for that.
08:21So, Johnny, would you introduce the next two players, please?
08:24Yes, Jack.
08:25Our next player is a housewife from San Bernardino
08:27with eight children,
08:28ranging in ages from 17 years old
08:30all the way down to an 11-month baby.
08:34Let's welcome Pat Diaz.
08:38Our next player is a former Marine Corps corporal
08:42who was stationed in Okinawa and South Vietnam.

08:52and I wish you the same kind of success
08:54that occurred to Deborah Lewinson.

08:59and you look so very, very young.
09:00Are they all your own children?
09:02No, it's a yours, mine, and ours kind of affair.
09:05It's what?
09:06Yours, mine, and ours.

16:39Let's say goodbye to a very lovely guest.
16:41Thank you. I loved it.
16:42Goodbye, Pat.
16:44And we shall be playing the game
16:47of spinning the prizes right after this word.
16:52The new champion, Joel Palmer,
16:54former Marine Corps corporal
16:56who returned in 68 from Vietnam.
16:58Joel's won $500, and Joel,
17:00it is your privilege now, as it is all winning players,
17:03to spin for some prizes.
17:04On the wheels instead of categories,
17:06we have lots of jokers and a few devils.
17:08If you spin three jokers, you get the prize,
17:10but if a devil comes up, you lose them.
17:12Johnny, would you be good enough to tell him
17:14what is the first prize for which he'll be trying?
17:16I'll do it, Jack.
17:17It's an Atex Sport 5.3 minibike.
17:20You'll feel the quiet power
17:22when you start the Sox 5.3 horsepower engine.
17:25Take charge and head for the high road.
17:27You're in command. It's by Atex.
17:30That's yours if you spin three jokers,
17:32but if you got a devil, you lose it.
17:33Spin, and good luck, Joel.
17:37Joker, joker, joker!
17:41Well, the minibike is yours.
17:43Now, let's see what you might try for in prize number two.
17:47Number two is a Deluxe Speed Queen washer
17:50with stainless steel tub,
17:51two automatic war cycles and bleach dispenser,
17:53plus a matching dryer, also a stainless steel drum,
17:57both from Speed Queen, a McGraw-Edison division.
18:00You're faced with a decision now.
18:01Do you want to quit with the minibike or go ahead and spin?
18:03If a devil comes up, you lose them both.
18:04What do you do?
18:05I've got to go for it.
18:06He's going for it. All right.
18:07Spin, and good luck.
18:11Joker, joker, joker!
18:16You now have a minibike and a washer and dryer.
18:19And here is the third and final prize
18:21that you could try for if you wish.
18:23Johnny?
18:24Joel might win a glamorous two-week vacation
18:27in Mexico City.
18:29This historic city offers the visitor
18:31the charm of its art and architecture
18:33and the romance of its Latin appeal.
18:35Good luck on your trip for two to Mexico City.
18:39Remember, remember you have a minibike
18:42and a washer and dryer.
18:43You'd lose everything if a devil comes up,
18:45but if the Jokers come up, you get all three prizes.
18:47What do you think you want to do?
18:48Go!
18:50I come from a long line of gamblers.
18:52I'll go for it.
18:53He's going. All right.
18:54Lots of good luck, Joel.
18:55Spin them around.
18:58Joker, joker, joker!
19:01Joker, joker, joker!
19:09All three prizes, including the trip to Mexico, are yours.
19:12You waved to somebody out in the audience, Joel.
19:14Who was that?
19:15I have some friends here this evening.
19:16Somebody who might go to Mexico City with you, maybe?
19:18Possibly. We've been to Las Vegas together.
19:23Well, you certainly deserve the wins you've made,
19:26and as you know, you're faced now with a decision.
19:28You can quit now with your $500
19:30or if you go ahead.
