00:00This is our current champion. If she wins one more game, she breaks the Joker's jackpot
00:17and wins a brand new automobile and $2,500. Now from Television City in Hollywood, CBS
00:27presents The Joker's Wild. And here's the host of our show, Jack Berry.
00:32Hey, thank you very much. Nice to have you with us all across the country here on The
00:42Joker's Wild. And all of us and all of you perhaps are anticipating perhaps another jackpot
00:48winner. Let's get right to it right now as we find out who our two players are. Johnny?
00:53Jack, our current champion, already has a score of $50. In this, her third game, she's
00:58a graduate student, Martha Schaefer. Her opponent has no score in the game so far. He's a research
01:06consultant, Steve Thompson.
01:07Well, it's nice to have you back with us here on The Joker's Wild. On the last show, Martha,
01:13as everyone watching knows, you won two games. You have $1,000 in cash. You have $600 in
01:18prizes. You decided to, with the aid and help of your husband out in the audience, you decided
01:22you would risk that $1,000 and play another game. Are you sorry you took that gamble?
01:26I don't know yet. I hope I won't be sorry.
01:29Well, you shouldn't be sorry at the moment because you are $50 ahead. And Stephen, how
01:33about you? You feel up to this task?
01:35I sure hope so.
01:37As you know, if she breaks the jackpot, she would win herself $6,715 in cash and prizes,
01:42including this lovely gift.
01:47It's the 73 Nova, the basic car. Rides comfortably and corners flat. Nova for $73 from Chevrolet.
01:54That'll be yours, along with money and other prizes, if you can win this third game. And
02:00we'll find out if you can win it right after these words.
02:06And now The Joker's Wild match between the champion, Martha Schaefer, the challenger,
02:09Stephen Thompson. In the third and final game for you, trying to break this jackpot, Martha,
02:13you had $50, and the categories we were using were British Stars, Composers, Famous Residences,
02:19Great Events, and Slang. And we're going to pick it up at that point right now. He had
02:23missed a question, so it is your turn to spin again. Martha, spin and good luck.
02:29Famous Residences, British Stars, Great Events.
02:33I think I'll try Famous Residences.
02:36Okay. Coming from the Arabic word for sacred, anything forbidden or a sanctuary, this type
02:43of famous residence is where the women of a sultan reside. What is it called?
02:50A harem.
02:51What'd you say?
02:52A harem.
02:53That's right. That's what it is. You can go to $100.
02:54Oh, it is.
02:55All right, Stephen. Your spin. Good luck. Joker, Great Events, Composers.
03:06Oh, gosh. I think I'd like to try Great Events again for $100.
03:12On March 30th, 1867, you say again because on the last show you missed one like this.
03:16Okay. On March 30th, 1867, the Secretary of State completed the purchase of an important
03:21piece of real estate. For $100, what land was bought in this Great Event?
03:27Alaska.
03:28Right. For $100. All tied up. Okay, Martha Schaefer. British Stars, Joker, and a triple.
03:42I'll take British Stars for $200.
03:45This is a big one for you. Her husband was Charles Lawton, with whom she often appeared.
03:51For $200 more, what is her stage name?
03:55Edith Evans.
03:57No, that's not right. Here's a marvelous opportunity for you, Steve. You're making lots of faces,
04:02but you can pick up $200 if you can give me her stage name.
04:05Charles Lawton. Redgrave.
04:10No, I'm sorry. Elsa Lanchester. Elsa Lanchester. I'm sorry, but you do get a turn now, Steve.
04:20British Stars, Composers, and a pair.
04:24I'll try British Stars for $100, please.
04:26Okay. After appearing in such films as Get Carter and The Ipcris File, he recently earned
04:32himself an Oscar nomination for his role in Sleuth. Name him.
04:37Michael Caine.
04:38Right. You go to $200.
04:45Composers. Pair. Famous residencies.
04:49I guess I'll take Composers.
04:51$100 question. Name the composer of such works as The Washington Post March and Stars and Stripes Forever.
04:59Sousa.
05:00Right. You go to $200.
05:02Yes, thank you.
05:05Joker. British Stars. Up triple on British Stars.
05:12I'll have to take British Stars for $200.
05:15It's $200. It's a big one. If you answer it right, you'd go to $400.
05:18He's well known as a child actor from My Friend Flicka and as an adult actor in Planet of the Apes.
05:24For $200 more, what is the last name of this British-born star?
05:30Heston?
05:31Heston? Nope. Not right. Here's a chance for you to pick up $200, Martha. Give me his name.
05:37I don't know.
05:38Roddy McDowell. Roddy McDowell. Sorry, the score stands. All tied up. $200 apiece and it's your spin, Martha.
05:48Joker. Joker. Joker!
05:51There you have it. An opportunity for this young lady by answering just one question of her choice of any of the five categories to break the jackpot and win over $7,200.
06:08What category do you pick, Martha?
06:11Do I have to take one of those five?
06:13It's the only five we have.
06:15Oh, okay. I think I'll try Famous Residences.
06:19Okay. Here is your question. Listen carefully, because if you do answer it, you will have won your third game, you will have broken the jackpot, and over $7,250 will be yours. Here we go.
06:31The estate of this performer is known as Graceland and is one of the landmarks of Memphis, Tennessee.
06:40For $7,200 and some odd dollars, name the owner of Graceland.
06:49Oh, don't laugh if this is wrong. Elvis Presley.
06:51Right! And you're breaking...
06:53Oh, I don't know if all of you heard what she said. She said, who else lives in Memphis?
07:18Boy, the people of Memphis, they got a lot of very distinguished citizens, but he's the one that stuck it out in your mind.
07:23You've just won yourself exactly $7,215, and in just a moment, we're going to have some more conversation with you.
07:29Hey, you played a fine game here, Steve, and I'm sorry you can't take the big money home, but there'll be some consolation prizes waiting for you.
07:34Let's say goodbye to Steve Thompson. Goodbye, Steve. Thanks for being with us.
07:41Martha, is your husband not out there in the audience somewhere?
07:44He's out there.
07:45Does he want to come up, though, and share your glory with you?
07:47He'll be sharing enough.
07:49He will? Why, is he going to take the car? You know you've won a car.
07:52Oh, God, that's just incredible. That's really exciting.
07:56You still want to keep your single name? You don't want to use his name now?
07:59Oh, no, no. No, I won this with my name, remember?
08:02You don't want to say, I'm Mrs. McKinley, who won over $7,000 in the...
08:04No, he just might want to be Mr. Schaefer, though.
08:08Well, it was he, I want you to remember, that it was he who encouraged you to go on and take a risk.
08:12Yeah, it was. It was.
08:13You were going to quit, were you not?
08:14No, I was.
08:15I saw that look on your face. You were going to quit, and you decided with your husband's encouragement from the audience that you'd go ahead.
08:20As you know, you've won jackpot number one, and now you're entitled to go on with no risk whatsoever to play jackpot number two.
08:26That is, the $7,215 is safe, and you go on and play in just a moment.
08:30And we will be playing against more players with our champion right after these words.
08:36Most of you know, I'm sure by now, that under the new rules of our game, if a person breaks the jackpot once, they can do it again, and again, and again.
08:45And each time they break a jackpot, that money and prize becomes theirs.
08:49And they can keep on playing until they win up to $25,000 in cash and prizes.
08:53Can Martha Schaefer do that? We'll find out now as we bring on the next challenger.
08:58Jack, our next player wants to write for the movies.
09:02Let's welcome Chris Fryer.
09:08Chris, welcome to the show as well.
09:10I understand that at one time you did write an essay about why certain films are popular and why others are not.
09:15What does make a film popular?
09:17Well, I think nowadays, if you depress the audience and throw in enough gore and blood, you make a successful film.
09:26That's the secret of success?
09:27I think so.
09:28Is that the kind of movie you're going to write?
09:29I'd like not to.
09:30I mean, I wish it could be different, but I think that's the way it is right now.
09:34Well, maybe you can write a nice happy one that everybody will go to see, like Sound of Music or something like that.
09:38Delighted to have you with us here on the program.
09:40Let's see what the categories are with which you'll be faced.
09:42They are Famous Fathers, TV talk shows, the Middle East, classical cars, and law enforcement.
09:49Starting on her second jackpot, no one has yet won two jackpots.
09:52Let's see if you can do it, Martha.
09:53Spinning, good luck.
09:57Joker.
09:58Joker.
09:59Classical cars, a very good spin this time.
10:03I'll go for classical cars.
10:05You want to go all the way?
10:06$200 at stake.
10:07The Hup, H-U-P-P.
10:08The Hup Auto Company produced a stylish and expensive car during the early 30s.
10:13What was it called?
10:15Kord.
10:16No, that's not right.
10:17You can pick up $200 here, Chris Fryer.
10:19What was it called?
10:20The Hupmobile.
10:21Correct, you have $200.
10:23And now, champion, you're in trouble starting right out because it's now his spin.
10:28Okay, Chris.
10:31Joker.
10:32Famous Fathers, TV talk shows.
10:35I'll take TV talk shows for $100.
10:37Who was Merv Griffin's British announcer?
10:40Arthur Treacher.
10:41That's right, you have another $100.
10:42You go to $300.
10:46Wow, you got a lot of catching up to do, Martha.
10:49Let's see what you get on this spin.
10:52Joker.
10:53Law enforcement, TV talk shows.
10:55I'll take TV talk shows.
10:57Beginning in 1953, this program featured Edward R. Murrow visiting celebrities' homes electronically.
11:04What was the name of the show?
11:08This Is Your Life.
11:09No, that's not correct.
11:10That's not correct.
11:11Ralph Edwards wouldn't like that one bit.
11:13For $100, what was the name of that show?
11:19You Bet Your Life?
11:21Groucho Marx wouldn't like that.
11:23Person to person.
11:24Person to person.
11:25However it is your spin, Chris.
11:29Joker.
11:30Joker.
11:31Famous Mother, Potter.
11:33Excuse me.
11:36How do you play it?
11:38I'll go Famous Fathers for $200.
11:40If you answer correctly, that'll give you $200.
11:42Add it to the $300, you will have $500.
11:44And this will be the shortest stay for the second jackpot we've ever had.
11:48Let's see how you handle it.
11:49The father was known as the man of a thousand faces,
11:52and his son continued his father's tradition of working quite often in horror films.
11:57For $500 in the championship, name the famous father.
12:01Lon Chaney.
12:02Right, and we have a new champion at $500.
12:11Congratulations, Chris.
12:12You've now won yourself $500, and in just a moment you get a chance to spin for some prizes.
12:16Hey, Martha, you didn't win this jackpot or get even close into it,
12:20but taking home, you will be taking home a considerable amount.
12:23You'll be taking home $7,215 in prizes and in cash, including the lovely automobile.
12:28I hope you and your husband will have a lovely time sharing all those prizes.
12:32$215, not $50.
12:34They give you credit for $35 more than you've won.
12:37It is $7,215.
12:39Let's all say goodbye to Martha Schaefer.
12:41Goodbye, Martha.
12:42Thank you very much.
12:47Your turn now, Chris Fryer.
12:49You've got $500 in cash.
12:50Let's see how many prizes you can accumulate.
12:52Johnny, what's the first prize you'll be spinning for?
12:54Jack is from Magnus Organ Corporation in electronic organs.
12:57With 12 chords, 37 keys, 3 voice registrations,
13:00string, horn, and flute, and featuring built-in tempo master,
13:03the Magnus Electronic Organ Pension Music Book.
13:06That's yours if three jokers comes up.
13:08Spin, and good luck.
13:11Joker.
13:12Joker.
13:13You've got that.
13:17Now you have to take a risk.
13:18Johnny, tell them what the prize is next.
13:20I will, Jack.
13:21We're sure this beautiful assortment of Western wear,
13:23including everything from rugged denim pants to leather boots,
13:26will come in handy as we fly you to Marriott's Campbellback Inn
13:30for relaxation, entertainment, and recreation.
13:32One of the world's finest resorts in the sun-drenched desert of Scottsdale, Arizona.
13:37What do you want to do?
13:38Quit with your first prize or take a chance?
13:44I'm going to go, Jack.
13:45He wants to go.
13:46Go on.
13:47Spin him, and let's see what you get.
13:48You've gotten yourself a joker.
13:50A joker all the way.
13:54There's one more prize up for grabs.
13:56You might win that, too, but you're taking a risk.
13:58What is the prize, Johnny?
13:59It's a Broyhill Spanish Upholstery Grouping Necorita Collection
14:03featuring a three-seat sofa, matching chair and love seat,
14:06plus a second chair and contrasting fabric.
14:08From Broyhill Industries, Lenore, North Carolina, worth over $1,035.
14:13You want to go or quit?
14:14What do you do, huh?
14:19I'm going to keep what I've got.
14:20He says he wants to keep what he's got.
14:22He doesn't happen to need any living room furniture right now.
14:24I think you're a single man, aren't you?
14:26I live in a single apartment.
14:27Single apartment.
14:28So you'd rather take those trips and everything on the Gorgon
14:30and make sure that you have those safe.
14:31Okay, those are yours, and we're delighted that you could win them.
14:34Now, of course, you are faced with a certain decision.
14:36The decision is whether you want to go on or whether you want to stop right here.
14:40You have about $1,000 in prizes,
14:42and no one will ever take that away from you.
14:44But if you lose the next game, we take your $500 and put it into our jackpot,
14:47and then, of course, somebody else might win it.
14:49But if you should break the jackpot, you take home an additional $2,500
14:52and, in addition, the Chevy Vega, which is worth almost $2,400.
14:57Up to you.
14:58Do you want to quit now or take a risk and go on?
15:05I'm going to go on.
15:06He says he wants to play.
15:08He wants to play another game.
15:10All right.
15:12And who knows?
15:13We may have a fellow who's going to go and shoot right at the top,
15:16break jackpot one and jackpot two.
15:17That's something we won't know until we play,
15:19and play we will as Johnny introduces our next challenger.
15:22Okay, Jack, our next player is a part-time worker with Weight Watchers.
15:26Here is Gail Dennis.
