00:36$1,500, and it's Michael!
00:39Hold it out by $400 over Kathy.
00:43Congratulations, Michael.
00:45Today, these three players are after high stakes,
00:48but they'll have to avoid the whammy
00:50as they play the most exciting game of their lives.
00:53From Television City in Hollywood,
00:56it's time to Press Your Luck!
01:03And now, here's your host,
01:05the star of Press Your Luck, Peter Tamarkin!
01:16I thank you, Rod, and welcome, everyone.
01:18We are here to do some serious pressing on Press Your Luck.
01:21Let's meet the three players who are going to be
01:23vying for the big bucks today,
01:24starting with Mac McHugh.
01:27How are you, Mac?
01:28Hi, Peter. How are you?
01:29Good to see you.
01:30Mac, where are you from?
01:31West Covina, which is San Gabriel Valley here.
01:33There is.
01:34Got some fellows out here.
01:36Now, Mac, you have an unusual occupation once a year.
01:39Once a year, Thanksgiving to Christmas.
01:41I'm a professional Santa Claus.
01:43All right. Santa Claus is with us.
01:46Well, it's only fair that Santa Claus
01:47should get something from us, right?
01:49Absolutely.
01:50All right. Well, hopefully, you'll work out
01:51and make a little bit of money today, Mac.
01:53I will. Give it a go.
01:54Good luck to you.
01:56All right. Let's talk to our returning champion,
01:57Gilbert Hurtado.
01:59Hey, Gilbert.
02:00$16,595.
02:03Yes.
02:04Now, what are you going to do with it?
02:05Spend it.
02:06Tell me, you were telling me about your mother.
02:08She watches the show.
02:09No, that's my wife.
02:10Your wife.
02:11Yes, she watches the show every day.
02:12She doesn't speak English,
02:14and that's the way she tries to learn English.
02:16She understands money, though.
02:17So she knows what I got.
02:19Universal language, isn't it?
02:20Right.
02:21All right, Gilbert. Good luck today.
02:22And let's talk to our third player,
02:24Rochelle Tattersall.
02:26That's Rochelle Tattersall.
02:28Right, Tattersall.
02:29That's the first name you'll have, Rochelle.
02:30Rochelle Tattersall, right?
02:31Right, right.
02:32I smile like I steal a trap.
02:34Rochelle, what do you do?
02:36I am a housewife right now,
02:38retired cosmetologist,
02:40and love animals,
02:42have a cat I took to college,
02:44and she knows all kinds of tricks and...
02:46A cat you took to college?
02:47Yes.
02:48She can roll over,
02:49she can go to the bathroom,
02:50in the bathroom,
02:52on the couch.
02:54A cat.
02:55She's remarkable, yeah.
02:56I know some people that can't do that.
02:57Yeah.
02:58That's...
03:01Hey, Rochelle.
03:02Different strokes for different folks.
03:04Welcome to the show.
03:06Good luck. All right.
03:07Players, I'm gonna ask you four questions.
03:10Your correct answers will earn you spins
03:12on the Big Press Your Luck game board.
03:13A correct buzzer answer gives you three spins.
03:16A correct multiple choice answer gives you one spin.
03:19The more spins you have,
03:20the more money you can win,
03:21because our board is loaded
03:22with thousands of dollars in cash
03:23and fabulous prizes.
03:25And every time you stop the board like this...
03:27Stop!
03:28Oh!
03:29I got nailed, didn't I?
03:31Remember how much money? 300?
03:33I lost $800. Gone.
03:35Hopefully, I got it out of everyone's system
03:37so you don't have to deal with the Whammy,
03:38but he can do the same thing to you
03:39that he did to me.
03:40But for you, it's serious, okay?
03:42Are you ready to press your luck?
03:43Yes, sir. Right here.
03:45Cat goes to the bathroom in the...
03:48We're trying to work on our director.
03:50All right, here we go with the first question.
03:53When a worker calls in sick,
03:55and he really is sick,
03:57what sickness is he or she most likely...
03:59Rochelle.
04:00The flu.
04:01Suffering from. All right.
04:03Rochelle says it's the flu.
04:05Is it the flu, a backache,
04:07or upset stomach, Mac?
04:12Flu.
04:13Flu, says Mac.
04:14What do you think, Gilbert?
04:15I'll say flu.
04:16You'll say flu.
04:17Well, the number one cause
04:18for missing work through illness
04:19is the common cold or flu.
04:21Absolutely right.
04:22That means Mac picks up a spin,
04:24Gilbert gets one,
04:25and Rochelle picks up three.
04:27Here's the second question.
04:29Despite all the dire warnings,
04:31out of every nine Americans,
04:33how many still smoke cigarettes?
04:35Rochelle.
04:36Four.
04:37Four. All right, it's the correct answer.
04:38Four, two, or three.
04:40Mac?
04:43Three.
04:44Three, says Mac.
04:45What do you think, Gilbert?
04:46I'll say three.
04:47Three. In spite of everything,
04:48one third, or three out of nine,
04:50still puffed away.
04:52Mac goes to two,
04:54Gilbert goes to two,
04:55and Rochelle stays at three.
04:57Here's the next question.
04:59If a recipe calls for four cups of grated cheese,
05:03how many pounds of cheese should you buy?
05:05Mac?
05:06Two.
05:07Two pounds.
05:08This is the correct answer.
05:09Two, one, or four.
05:11Gilbert?
05:12I'll say two.
05:13Gilbert says it's two pounds.
05:14Rochelle?
05:15Two.
05:16Two. Well, for four cups of grated cheese,
05:18buy one pound.
05:20It's only one.
05:21No one picks up any spins.
05:23We're gonna go to the fourth question.
05:25Here we go.
05:26Not a cook.
05:27Not a cook.
05:28No, none of you are cooks, evidently.
05:29Okay.
05:30American households have changed radically
05:32in the past few years,
05:34but statistics show that we are still a country
05:36that likes to get married.
05:38Of every 10 Americans,
05:39how many marry at least once?
05:41Mac?
05:42Seven.
05:43Seven is the correct answer.
05:44Seven, eight, or nine.
05:46Gilbert?
05:47I'll say eight.
05:48Gilbert says it's eight.
05:49I'll say eight.
05:50And Rochelle says it's eight.
05:51Of 10 Americans, nine will marry.
05:54Yes, how true it is.
05:56Oh, Hosanna.
05:57Mac has two spins.
05:58Gilbert has two spins.
05:59And Rochelle has three.
06:01And you're all gonna have a chance
06:02to hurt those pins in the Big Bucks.
06:04We come back after this word.
06:05Stay with us.
06:06We're coming back.
06:07All right, players, it's time to turn
06:33those spins into dollars.
06:34We have $13,000 of those dollars up there
06:36in the board.
06:37And we have some surprises
06:38and a few whammies to keep you honest.
06:40So beware of the whammy.
06:41The player who ends this round with the most money
06:42gets to play last in the final round.
06:44That's what you want to be,
06:45last for that final round.
06:46And remember, you can pass your remaining spins
06:48any time during your turn.
06:49If you ever fear the whammy,
06:50four whammies, of course,
06:51put you out of the game, okay?
06:53The player with the fewest spins
06:54goes first.
06:55Tie between Mac and Gilbert.
06:56Player to my left goes first.
06:57Mac.
06:58Two spins, zero dollars.
06:59Let's make some money.
07:03Stop.
07:04Stop at $550.
07:04Mac.
07:05One spin left, $550.
07:07Rusty Luck will pass.
07:08Here we go.
07:09No.
07:10Stop.
07:13Stop at $350.
07:14You're right, brother.
07:15Nothing.
07:16$900, Mac.
07:17Let's see how it holds up.
07:18We'll go to Gilbert with two spins and no dollars.
07:20Are you ready, champ?
07:21Ready.
07:22Here we go.
07:23Come on, big bucks.
07:24Stop.
07:25Stop at $470.
07:26All right.
07:27Second place, one more spin.
07:28Gilbert, you going to go for it?
07:29Go on.
07:30Yep.
07:31Come on, big bucks, big bucks.
07:32Stop.
07:33Stop at $1,000.
07:34Yeah.
07:35$1,470 puts you in first place, Gilbert.
07:37And now we go to Rochelle with zero dollars but three spins.
07:40Let's go.
07:41Come on, let's go.
07:42Stop.
07:43Stop at $200.
07:44$200.
07:45Third place, two spins.
07:46Rusty Luck will pass.
07:47Here we go.
07:48Let's go.
07:49Stop.
07:50Stop at $500.
07:51You're up to $700.
07:52$770 left.
07:53And, Gilbert, one more spin.
07:54Rochelle, you can take it.
07:55You're in third place.
07:56Rest my life, sir.
07:57You're going to go.
07:58Stop.
07:59Stop at $600.
08:00You're up to $1,300.
08:01Rochelle.
08:02Matt, you have $900.
08:03Gilbert, you're a leading champ with $1,470.
08:06You have the big advantage.
08:07Keep with us because we're coming right back
08:10with more questions, more spins, and more prizes
08:13right after this break.
08:14Oh, my God.
08:15Oh, my God.
08:31Thank you so much.
08:36Does this ever ...
08:46All right, players, would you like to earn some more spins?
08:49You'd better believe it.
08:50I figured as much.
08:51Well, I have four questions.
08:52If you turn those into answers,
08:53they become spins.
08:54You know as well as I that in this round,
08:56a spin can be worth as much as $5,000.
08:58Also, whoever wins this round,
08:59gets to take all the money home
09:01Okay? Here we go with the first question.
09:0420 years ago, tradition was broken
09:06and the first rock music act
09:08performed at New York City's famous Carnegie Hall.
09:11What famous group headlined that bill?
09:13Mac?
09:14Beatles.
09:15All right. That's the correct answer.
09:16The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, or the who?
09:18Gilbert?
09:20I'll say the Beatles.
09:21Beatles, says Gilbert. Let's go to Rochelle.
09:23I'll say the Rolling Stones.
09:24Rolling Stones.
09:25Well, that Carnegie Rock group was the Beatles.
09:29That's Mac.
09:30Goes to three, Gilbert to one, and Rochelle, not yet.
09:34Here we go.
09:37Among families with children,
09:39how many children per family is the most popular?
09:42Rochelle?
09:43Two.
09:44All right. Is the correct answer two, one, or three?
09:47Mac?
09:51Two.
09:52Two, says Mac. What do you think, Gilbert?
09:53I'll say three.
09:54Three.
09:55Well, two children per family is most popular.
09:59Mac goes to four, Gilbert stays at one,
10:02and Rochelle goes to three.
10:03Here is our number three.
10:06You don't find them in Spain, but in what foreign nation
10:09will you find that famous tourist attraction,
10:12the Spanish Steps?
10:14Gilbert?
10:15I'll say Mexico.
10:16Mexico. All right.
10:17Is the correct answer Mexico, Portugal, or Italy?
10:21Mac?
10:26I will say Portugal.
10:27Portugal, says Mac. Let's go to Rochelle.
10:29Portugal.
10:30Portugal.
10:31Well, the Spanish Steps gang are in Rome, Italy.
10:34Unless they moved them, then I don't know about it.
10:36Stays where we are, four, one, and three spins.
10:40Fourth question.
10:42All the world's clocks are set by the timekeepers
10:45in a town called Greenwich.
10:47Mac?
10:48Greenwich Meridian.
10:49In what country is Greenwich?
10:52Mac says it's Meridian.
10:53Is the answer Meridian, England, or Greenland?
10:56Greenland.
10:57Gilbert says it's Greenland. Rochelle?
10:59I'll say Greenland.
11:00Greenland.
11:01Well, gang, Greenwich is in England.
11:03No spins, but Mac stays at four.
11:06Gilbert stays at one, and Rochelle at three.
11:09And all our players, we give you those things, the big board,
11:12to decide who's going to walk away with the big bucks
11:14when we come back.
11:16Stay with us.

11:44All right, players, the moment has arrived,
11:47the moment you've been waiting for all of your lives.
11:50$50,000 up there in that big board, a whole big bundle.
11:53In fact, we have one prize on the board
11:55worth more than $5,000.
11:57Not too shabby, huh?
11:58I figured as much.
11:59Also, there are some whammies up there.
12:01The whammy likes the prizes, the whammy likes the money,
12:03and he likes especially taking it away from you.
12:05So be very careful about that whammy.
12:07Let's take a look at your dollar totals.
12:09Mac, Santa Claus has $900.
12:12We have Rochelle with $1,300.
12:14And our champ, 1470, Gilbert.
12:17That puts you in first place.
12:19That means you are going to play last in the final round,
12:22so you get to relax for a while while Mac and Rochelle
12:25duke it out to see who's going to battle you.
12:28All right, Gilbert?
12:29We're going to go to the player
12:30with the least amount of money first.
12:32That player is Mac, $900.
12:34You will press your luck first, Mac, with four spins.
12:36Here we go.
12:37Big bucks now, big bucks now.
12:39Stop!
12:40Stop at $1,000 and a spin.
12:42Hey!
12:43Still four spins, $1,900.
12:45First place, Mac, by $430.

12:51Stop!
12:52Stop at $1,000 and a spin again.
12:55$2,900, still four spins.

13:13Go, he says.
13:15Stop!
13:16Stop at the snowmobile, Mac.
13:18That snowmobile is valued at $2,549.
13:22You're at $6,949, which is about $5,500 more.
13:25Go again, he says.

13:38Do you want to take it or pass it?
13:42$8,000 more than Gilbert.
13:45Gilbert has one spin.
13:46Rochelle, three spins.
13:51Pass.
13:52Pass it.
13:53All right.
13:54Mac passes it to Gilbert, our champ.
13:56You can hold on to it for a while, Gilbert,
13:58because we have to go over and talk to Rochelle,
14:00who has $1,300 and three spins.
14:01Are you ready, Rochelle?
14:02I'm ready.
14:03Let's go.

14:47With one spin that's been passed to you,
14:49you have to take it, Gilbert.
14:50Here we go with $1,470.
14:51All right, let's go.
14:52Big bucks, big bucks.
14:53Let's see what Mac passed you.

14:55Stop at $1,400.
14:56You're now at $2,870.
14:59You have one spin left.
15:00You're in third place.
15:01I gotta go?
15:02If you don't get it, if you don't get a spin,
15:04if you don't get something that gives you an additional spin,
15:06that means Mac is the champion for today.
15:08You need to get something that gives you an additional spin
15:10to keep going, okay, Gilbert?
15:11Come on, I need a spin.
15:12Mac, are you ready?
15:13You may get to be the champ yet.
