00:00This is the eighth day of a very special tournament,
00:03and these are the two remaining players.
00:05One of them will win $100,000 in cash.
00:09Both of them are over 80 years of age,
00:12and it's all happening on Tic Tac Dough!
00:15And here's the host of Tic Tac Dough,
00:19Sweet Spice Daryl!
00:20Thank you, thank you very much.
00:23There you go.
00:24Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
00:27Thank you so much for your time.
00:31We started out with eight players,
00:34each of whom was over 80 years of age,
00:36and now we're down to two.
00:38We're in the middle of the finals,
00:39and whoever wins the next game wins the $100,000 cash prize.
00:44Jay, will you please introduce our two contenders, please?
00:47I certainly will.
00:48Wink, she was a professor of history at Florida University.
00:51Her interests are flowers, plants, and landscaping.
00:52Her age is 96.
00:53Meet Dr. Reba Kelly.
00:54And this finalist has worked as an actress, singer, and dancer.
00:55Her interests are oil painting, writing poetry,
00:56composing music, and swimming.
00:57Her age is 83.
00:58Meet Miss Bonnie Tremaine.
00:59You know, I've gotten in such a habit of doing this,
01:00I wouldn't know how to start the game any other way.
01:01So, thank you very much.
04:51Let me just take a moment to review the rules.
04:53There will be no need to keep track of the money score on each game.
04:56After each game, the two players trade positions.
04:59Now, the score at this point is 1-1.
05:02Two out of three wins the championship.
05:04So, let's take a look at the categories and begin.
05:07Reba Kelly, Bobby Tremaine.
05:09The categories are celebrities, world geography,
05:12U.S. literature, politics, people, grab bag, opera, cooking,
05:17and ancient history.
05:19Dr. Reba Kelly, as our ex-player, you go first.
05:22People.
05:23People in the center box.
05:24All righty.
05:25I'll ask you the question,
05:26and then I'll give you a few seconds to think about your answer.
05:29Reba, take a look at this picture, please.
05:31May I come over and take a closer look?
05:34You certainly may.
05:35Come over here.
05:36I wanted to be closer to you anyway.
05:38You come right over here.
05:39You can stand right here anywhere you can see.
05:41Take a good look at that,
05:42and I'm going to ask you this question.
05:44Now, you'll have a few seconds to think about your answer
05:46before you give it to me.
05:47In a popular television series,
05:49this actor played a highly resourceful soldier
05:52named Ernie Bilko.
05:54First, I want you to name the actor,
05:56and then name his military rank in the show.
06:00Think about that for a few seconds.
06:02Next, Reba.
06:11Reba, again, in a popular television series,
06:14this actor played a highly resourceful soldier
06:16named Ernie Bilko.
06:18First, name the actor.
06:21I cannot name this actor.
06:24You don't want to take a guess?
06:26I know it was Sergeant Bilko,
06:28but I can't think of his name.
06:30Yeah, you're right.
06:31It was Sergeant Bilko, and it was Phil Silvers.
06:34Phil Silvers.
06:36Okay, you go back right over there,
06:38and we'll just flip the things around on the board.
06:40Sorry you couldn't come up with that one.
06:42But she spoke right up and came over here
06:45and took a look at that picture,
06:46and she's got a real good look at it.
06:48All right, let's move the categories around on the board
06:50and go back to Bobby Tremaine.
06:52We shuffle them around.
06:53Bobby, here's your first chance for an O.
06:56Grab bag.
06:57Grab bag in the center, all right.
07:00The following two statements, Mr. Tremaine,
07:02refer to the nicknames of American cities.
07:05You tell me if the statements are true or false,
07:07and, of course, before you give me your answer,
07:09you'll have some time to think about it.
07:11One, Los Angeles is known as the Big Apple.
07:14Two, Miami is known as the Windy City.
07:17Think about that.
07:19♪♪
07:27Bobby, two statements
07:28referring to the nicknames of American cities.
07:30You tell me if the statements are true or false.
07:32One, Los Angeles is known as the Big Apple.
07:35That is false.
07:36You're right.
07:37That's New York, the Big Apple.
07:38Miami is known as the Windy City.
07:41True or false?
07:42That is false.
07:43Right.
07:44Chicago is known as the Windy City.
07:45So we put an O in the center box
07:47and shuffle the categories around.
07:49Let's move them all around
07:50and let us move back to Reva Kelly.
07:52Reva, what do you like next?
07:53World Geography, please.
07:55Which one?
07:56World Geography.
07:57World Geography.
07:58All righty.
07:59Top right-hand corner, World Geography.
08:01True or false?
08:02Reva?
08:03The country that was known as Persia in ancient times
08:06is today known as Ethiopia.
08:09True or false?
08:10False.
08:11Right.
08:12Persia is known today as Iran.
08:13Good for your first X.
08:14Put an X there
08:15and let's shuffle it all around again.
08:17Okay, Bobby, here's your chance
08:19for a second O on the board.
08:21People.
08:23Okay, people, bottom center.
08:25Here's your question.
08:26Let's take a look at this picture.
08:29Bobby, he's a well-known and respected band leader
08:32with his own television show.
08:34Name him.
08:35Lawrence Welk.
08:36Right.
08:37Lawrence Welk is the answer.
08:39Another O goes up on the board.
08:41We shuffle the categories all around once again.
08:44Back to you, Reva.
08:45What would you like?
08:46U.S. Literature.
08:47All right, she's going for a block
08:48vertically on U.S. Literature.
08:50Reva, here's your question.
08:52One of the eight American winners
08:54of the Nobel Prize for Literature
08:56wrote the classic novels
08:57The Old Man and the Sea
08:59and A Farewell to Arms.
09:01Was it Ernest Hemingway or William Faulkner?
09:04It was William.
09:05It was Ernest Hemingway.
09:07Right.
09:08You stopped just in time.
09:09Ernest Hemingway.
09:11So that's good for a block.
09:13Let's move the categories around once again
09:15as we put an X there.
09:16Back to you, Bobby.
09:17It has to be, to block, celebs.
09:20Celebrities for a block.
09:21Here's your question.
09:23One of Hollywood's most beautiful
09:25and most mysterious stars
09:26was a European-born actress
09:28named Greta Garbo.
09:30Now, for a block of Dr. Kelly,
09:32was Garbo born in Sweden or in France?
09:35Sweden.
09:36Yes, that's right.
09:37Good for a block.
09:38Put an O there.
09:39On the board, we have four boxes remaining.
09:42Let's shuffle them around now
09:43and see what subjects come up for Reva to select from.
09:46Reva, what's it going to be, dear?
09:48It's going to be cooking.
09:50Going to be cooking.
09:51All right, here's your question.
09:52A thin pancake which is rolled around sweets
09:55or meat stuffing is known by a French name.
09:59Is this name crepe or moutard?
10:02It is named crepe.
10:04Right.
10:05Another X goes on the board.
10:07Three boxes remain.
10:09Let's shuffle for Bobby
10:10and see what subjects come up.
10:12Celebrities, politics, and U.S. literature, Bobby.
10:15To block, it has to be U.S. literature.
10:19U.S. literature.
10:20U.S. literature.
10:21Again, going for a block of Dr. Reba Kelly.
10:24True or false, Bobby?
10:26Nobel Prize winner Pearl Buck set her classic novel,
10:30The Good Earth, in the farmlands of Georgia.
10:33True or false?
10:34False.
10:35Right, it was China.
10:36Good for a block.
10:37So we put an O there.
10:39Two boxes remaining on the board.
10:41Let's shuffle again for Reba Kelly.
10:43The subjects are people and ancient history.
10:46Reba?
10:47I would take people, please.
10:49Again, you are going for a block.
10:51If you answer this correctly, we will have a tie game.
10:55For a tie, here's your question, Dr. Reba Kelly.
10:58First, take a look at this picture, please.
11:01I have to come over?
11:02And you can come back over here.
11:04Take all the time you need.
11:05She's gonna come over here
11:06so she can get a good look at this.
11:08Stand right there.
11:10All righty.
11:11Here's your question.
11:12Again, going for a tie if you answer it.
11:15In the 50s, the American television audience
11:18made room for this daddy.
11:20For a tie game, name him.
11:24I cannot.
11:26You can't name him?
11:27No.
11:28Danny Thomas.
11:29I can't.
11:30I know who it is.
11:31Remember that show, Make Room for Daddy?
11:32Yes, I do.
11:33Danny Thomas.
11:34But I could not remember his name.
11:35Okay, you go take your position once again,
11:37and we will continue.
11:38But another good try.
11:40Danny Thomas and Make Room for Daddy.
11:44All right, on the board, we still have two boxes remaining,
11:47so let us shuffle once again.
11:49The subjects for you to select from,
11:51Bobby Tremaine, grab bag, and people.
11:53What's it gonna be?
11:54Grab bag.
11:55Grab bag.
11:56If you answer the question on grab bag,
11:59you will have tic-tac-do,
12:01and you will have become our winner, our finalist.
12:07Here is your question.
12:10J. Edgar Hoover served as head of this federal agency
12:13for over 48 years under eight presidents.
12:17For $100,000, was he director of the FBI or the IRS?
12:24FBI.
12:25Right, for $100,000 in cash.
13:14You've probably had a standing ovation before in your career,
13:17but I would venture to say that neither of you
13:20have ever had a standing ovation that meant as much to you
13:23and was as nice and well-meaning as from these people in our audience.
13:26Bless your dear heart, and it's very true.
13:28I want to cry.
13:31You know what?
13:32I think I know how you must feel.
13:36Bobby Tremaine, it's been a good long match with this lady here.
13:40She's wonderful.
13:41And, of course, you won two games to one,
13:43so you win the $50,000 cash for yourself
13:46and $50,000 in cash to give to your favorite charity.
13:49Once again, could you remind us of perhaps
13:52where some of that $50,000 for charity is gonna go?
13:54Yes, indeed.
13:56I want to give the Ziegfeld Girls, a club formed in honor of Ziegfeld,
14:00who still help elderly people with money,
14:04which they get various ways.
14:07And also, I want to give some of the money to Will Ahern
14:12for his wonderful work with animals,
14:15and also to dear Reba.
14:21Isn't that terrific?
14:24What did you say?
14:25It is not necessary.
14:28Oh, I know that she wants to do that.
14:35I love you.
14:36I love you.
14:37Well, bless your heart.
14:38Congratulations to you.
14:39And thank you, Wink.
14:40One of the reasons it's been so wonderful to try to do this
14:42is because you are a great, great performer.
14:45Well, thank you very much.
14:46You're very kind to say that.
14:48Let me go over here and stand between you both, Reba.
14:50You come right up here.
14:52Have a seat up there.
14:54You have kind of felt at home in this position after so long a time, huh?
14:59Yes, sir.
15:00And you have just been delightful, and I thank both of you,
15:03all of the people who have participated,
15:05but particularly you two as our finalists have endeared your hearts
15:08to the hearts of all of our viewers and the people here in the audience
15:11and those who have been watching on television.
15:13I got to tell you a little story.
15:14It won't take but a moment.
15:15And I want you to look at these people while I tell this story.
15:18The first time Dr. Reba Kelly came into the tic-tac-toe offices
15:22at Barry and Wright Productions
15:24to attempt to become a contestant on our over 80 tournament shows,
15:29she, well, how do I put this?
15:33She tried to tell us that she was a younger person than she actually is.
15:40And as you know, as you know,
15:44as you know, she is a very young, lively, and brilliant 96 years of age.
15:50And would you believe that she tried to impress us with the fact,
15:55mislead us to think that she was 94?
16:01Now, think about that.
16:02Now, Reba, really, would you confess to that?
16:06It makes a difference, honey, in medicine,
16:09whether you're on that side of 94 or on the other.
16:12And looky, folks, I'm blessed with Social Security
16:17and I have an SSI check.
16:20And these dear people are giving me enough money,
16:24and you know I need it, to have these two cataracts removed.
16:28So if you want to know where I'm going to spend most of my money,
16:32it's, guess where I can see a little better.
16:51Remember those shoes,
16:52Remember those shoes, Yes, sir.
16:53that you said you were going to buy with some of your money?
16:56Yes, sir.
16:57I wear Ferragamo shoes.
16:59I know I'm not supposed to give commercials,
17:03My cancer doctor says I have to walk before I eat.
17:08I have to walk, that is number one medicine.
17:11Food is number two medicine.
17:13And the best shoes I can walk in are Ferragamo shoes.
17:17They're like the American manufacturer
17:20used to be shoemakers and make good shoes.
17:23The name again, please.
17:24It's Ferragamo.
17:26Did you get that, ladies and gentlemen?
17:27Ferragamo shoes.
17:29Do not accept less than a Ferragamo.
17:33You know what we're going to do?
17:34You know what we're going to do?
17:37We're going to buy those shoes for you.
17:38You're not going to have to put out any of your cash
17:40for those shoes.
17:41Oh, I'm so grateful.
17:44We're going to buy you at least a couple of good Ferragos.
17:48You just don't know, and the rains are coming
17:50and I have to walk rain or shine.
17:53You don't know how to dress in that.
17:55We might even give you a nice raincoat
17:56and a rain hat on top of it.
17:59I guess I better shut up.
18:00There you go.
18:02Oh.
18:04God bless you have the Ferragamo shoes.
18:06Now you have possibly a raincoat and a rain hat
18:08and $5,000 in cash and you have our blessings
18:11to live a good, long, wonderful life.
18:13And I just can't thank all of you,
18:16the participants and the staff and the owners and everybody.
18:22I'm so grateful.
18:25I think I'd like to be shoes.
18:28Would you wait just a second?
18:29Okay, because I just wanted to say something
18:33to this young lady right over here.
18:34Once again, congratulations to you.
18:37You participated in the first ever
18:40over 80 tournament on Tic Tac Dough
18:42and you have emerged as the champion.
18:45Now, congratulations to you.
18:47$100,000 will be forthcoming,
18:49$50,000 for your favorite charity
18:51and a $50,000 check in cash for you.
18:54God bless.
18:55If you'll stay, we'll be right back.
18:56Don't go away, ladies and gentlemen.
18:58We'll meet our players, our regular players,
19:00as we continue shortly.
19:02♪♪
19:13You were saying something just a few minutes ago,
19:15just before we broke and I wondered what it was
19:18because we didn't get to let you finish.
19:21I wanted to say that I hope,
19:24because of the fabulous cooperation
19:26from everyone who's connected with the Tic Tac Dough Show,
19:30that on this senior contest tournament...
19:33The over 80 tournament.
19:34Right, that it will be repeated again each year at least.
19:40I hope, I hope, because it instigates
19:43and begins a new attitude towards senior citizens.
19:47Terrific.
19:49We certainly hope we will be able to do that
19:51and I'm sure we will.
19:52Thank you very much, Bobbie Tremaine.
19:55How you holding up?
19:56I'm holding up pretty well, I think.
19:58Yeah.
19:59I think she almost had me in tears a while ago
20:01and I think she almost did.
20:02Well, I did at some point.
20:04Oh, that's what that thing was,
20:06that daubing that you did on those eyes there.
20:08Different kind of daubing.
20:11Not a dirt dauber, no, that's not what we mean.
20:13Ordinarily, ladies and gentlemen,
20:15I sort of want to apologize.
20:16We would not put commercials this close together,
20:18but a while ago, I think you'll agree,
20:20during the closing and during the explanation,
20:23during the presentation, if you will,
20:25of the money to these two real champions,
20:28we didn't want to interrupt that.
20:31And so for that reason,
20:32we have to put another couple of commercials here
20:34and we ask your indulgence.
20:37♪♪
20:47I must say that the past few minutes on this show
20:50have truly been some of the most inspiring moments
20:53that I have ever experienced in television.
20:56On our next show, we'll resume with our regular games
20:59and our regular players.
21:00Goodbye, everybody.
21:01♪♪
