00:00And now, here's the host of the show, Bill Cullen.
00:10I like that opening picture where we take all your pictures.
00:26You all look very handsome, and thank you very much for being here.
00:29Oh, we're happy that you're here with us, too.
00:31This is the second show of our brand-new series.
00:33And when time was called, if you were with us last time, and I sort of hope you were,
00:37we interrupted a game between two very nice people.
00:40So, if you'd like to meet them, so would I.
00:42Charlie, bring our players back out.
00:44A Bill Versauer challenger, she does voices for cartoon characters
00:47and enjoys reading and craft work, Denise Pickering.
00:52And her opponent, our current champion, is a singing waiter from New York City
00:56whose winnings in cash total $500, Steve Aaron.
01:01There he goes.
01:06Welcome back. First of all, hi, Steve.
01:08Hi, Bill.
01:09Steve's our champion. He has thus far won a game and $500 to the good.
01:13Congratulations, Steve.
01:15And welcome back.
01:18This is your second day, third day, actually, with us.
01:21We've got a lot of information here, the skating, television, and film buff,
01:24and majored in music and theater.
01:26Yeah, I went to USC.
01:28Are you a USC?
01:29I'm a Trojan all the way.
01:30Oh, all right. We've got some others there.
01:34My wife, Ann, also went to USC.
01:36Great.
01:37But you don't call girls Trojans, do you?
01:38No, no, no.
01:39No, what do you call them, Trojanettes?
01:40Well, whatever. I call mine Ann.
01:42I just call them.
01:43Let us say hello to your brand-new opponent.
01:44Hello, Denise.
01:45Hi.
01:46This is Denise Pickering.
01:47Denise, as you might or might not believe, does voices for cartoon characters.
01:52How is work these days, Denise?
01:54Well, I just moved here from Chicago, so work in Chicago is real good,
01:59but I have to see about L.A. I just got here.
02:02Well, I have a feeling you do have a unique voice,
02:04and I have a feeling you did well in Chicago, you tell me.
02:07That doesn't surprise me.
02:08And I have a feeling you're going to do very well out here.
02:11I hope someone sees you tonight and does.
02:13Are you okay?
02:14Well, you never know, I guess.
02:16I don't know about you, but I know I never know.
02:18Yeah.
02:19Okay, we'll pick up the game with the categories.
02:21Let me step aside here and show you the categories with which you'll be playing.
02:25They are Scrambled Cities, that's a visual,
02:27Singing Groups, that isn't,
02:29Crossword Definitions,
02:31What's My Name?,
02:32and Stumpers.
02:33Now, you can win double the money,
02:35double the value of the spin with the Stumper questions,
02:37which were missed previously.
02:39More about that if and when they come up and you decide to do it.
02:42Okay, ready to go?
02:43Now, let's see.
02:44A natural triple jackpot.
02:46That means any time either of you get three categories exactly the same across the board,
02:50we add to it each time.
02:51If either of you do that, you win immediately.
02:54Natural triple jackpot worth now $3,100.
02:58So, it's worth getting.
03:04Am I correct?
03:05Is it Denise's spin?
03:06Yes.
03:07Denise is going to spin.
03:08All right, it's zero for Denise, 100 for Steve.
03:10Spin away and good luck, Denise.
03:11Okey-doke.
03:12Okey-doke, I'm on Joker.
03:13Here she goes.
03:14She has What's My Name?, Singing Groups, and Stumpers.
03:17Okay.
03:18Well, I'll take What's My Name?
03:20What's Your Name?
03:21Or What's My Name?
03:22for 50 bucks.
03:23All right, here it is.
03:24Being a successful TV actor can be a dog's life.
03:27Even though I'm a male.
03:29Now, I'm reading this in the first person.
03:31So, even though I'm a male,
03:33the character I portrayed for 20 years was a female.
03:37Now, Timmy and Ranger Cory said I was difficult to work with,
03:42but actually my bark was worse than my bite.
03:46For $50, Denise Deer, what's my name?
03:48Lassie.
03:49It is indeed.
03:50You have 50 bucks.
03:52There she goes.
03:53Okay, Steve.
03:54Come on, Jokers.
03:56Jokers.
03:57Jokers, Singing Groups, and What's My Name?
04:00I'm gonna take What's My Name? for 100, please.
04:02Okay.
04:03Here I am again playing another part.
04:05Listen carefully, Steve.
04:06I'm one of the greatest figures in the history of jazz music.
04:10You might say I'm musical royalty.
04:12Today, I'm kind of in a sentimental mood,
04:16so I think I'll take the A train
04:18and go see my sophisticated lady.
04:22For $100, Steve, what's my last name?
04:25Ellington.
04:26Ellington, right.
04:27Edward Kennedy Duke Ellington.
04:30So, it's 250.
04:31Yes, Denise.
04:32Okay, come on, Jokers.
04:34Here goes Denise, Singing Group Joker.
04:37Scrambled Cities.
04:38What do you wanna do with it?
04:39I'll take Scrambled Cities.
04:41All right, Scrambled Cities.
04:42Let me move out of the way,
04:44give you a chance to look at this picture.
04:47Can you see it?
04:48Okay, it's not really a picture.
04:49It's a scrambled city.
04:51The majority of people living in this communist capital
04:54are members of the Roman Catholic Church.
04:58For $100, Denise, unscramble this city's name.
05:03Warsaw.
05:04Warsaw is the right answer.
05:05The capital of Poland.
05:07You have 150.
05:08Steve.
05:09Come on, Jokers.
05:10Joker.
05:11Joker.
05:12Joker.
05:13Another one.
05:14Joker.
05:15Another one.
05:16Oh, boy.
05:17Uh-oh.
05:18Uh-oh.
05:27Congratulations, Steve.
05:28Well, I'll see you later.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Steve, that is a boring one little fact.
05:32That is an automatic win.
05:33Denise, I know you want to cross your fingers in hope.
05:36All you need to do, Steve, is pick any category.
05:39I take the first question up in that category.
05:42Answer it correctly, and you've won another game.
05:45Your total winnings will be $1,000.
05:48What do you want to take?
05:49I'd like to take What's My Name?
05:53Okay.
05:54This is for the game, champion going for two in a row,
05:58and a total of $1,000.
06:01Again, I'm reading in the first person.
06:04Being a famous comedian is not easy.
06:07All that monkey business is hard work.
06:10I just spent a night at the opera,
06:13and now I've got to spend the day at the races.
06:16Am I tired?
06:18You bet your life.
06:20For the game and total of $1,000,
06:24What's My Last Name?
06:25Marx.
06:26Congratulations.
06:27You got it.
06:37Congratulations, Steve.
06:38Just in case anyone in our audience does not know which Marx it was,
06:42of course, Groucho or Julius Henry Marx.
06:45Well, Denise, I am awfully sorry to see you go.
06:48It's been fun having you here.
06:51You're cute, and I hope you do very well in your cartoon voice work.
06:55We have some nice consolation prizes.
06:57Oh, great.
06:58Thank you, Denise.
06:59Okay, bye-bye.
07:00Bye-bye.
07:01We'll be back in just a moment.
07:09Well, Steve, two in a row.
07:11You know, the luck of the spin has so much to do in life,
07:14and especially on our show.
07:16But I've noticed you've gotten more jokers in your time here.
07:19They keep coming up for you, and they came up beautifully.
07:21So you're riding a hot streak.
07:23$1,000, your own.
07:24No one can take that away from you.
07:26My mother?
07:27Yeah, well, that's an exception.
07:29Ready to go for the big stuff?
07:30Yes.
07:31Come on over.
07:32We're going to go against the devil.
07:34Congratulations.
07:39I keep talking about the luck of the spin,
07:41and naturally our show is pretty much predicated on two things,
07:44information, questions, and fun, and the spin.
07:47And last time you did very well.
07:49This time you got three jokers for a big win.
07:51Last time, though, that joker came up pretty fast, didn't he?
07:53Yeah.
07:54Did you come up on a second spin or something like that?
07:56Yeah.
07:57Third spin.
07:58You know, of course, that any time while you're spinning,
08:01you know, you spin and then we count the money up,
08:03and then you spin and we count the money.
08:05Any time you can say, that's it, I'll take the money, you know that.
08:07Uh-huh.
08:08Now, in case you don't stop,
08:09if you go all the way through and you don't see a joker,
08:12here's what we have for you in addition to the $1,000.
08:15Steve, these gifts will introduce you to three different modes of communication.
08:19First, Steve, for state-of-the-art communication,
08:21you'll use a video display terminal

08:37or type your own letters on this versatile electronic typewriter.

08:45features full-line correction memory,
08:47triple-pitch typing and can interface with a computer
08:49to serve as a letter quality printer.
08:51And finally, Steve, you'll discover a third mode of communication
08:54when we fly you to a land where all the signs are written
08:57with Chinese characters in exotic Hong Kong.
09:01Known as the Jewel of the Orient,
09:03Hong Kong is famous for its exotic cuisine,
09:05silks, jade and legendary harbor.

09:16While there, you'll stay at the Harborview Holiday Inn, Hong Kong.
09:19New deluxe waterfront hotel with panoramic views of Hong Kong Harbor
09:23in the middle of all the shopping, nightlife and entertainment
09:25that the exotic Orient can offer.
09:27This modes of communication package is worth in cash and prizes
09:30over $4,000.
09:33Yeah. That's nice.
09:36Not bad.
09:37Not bad indeed.
09:38Not bad at all.
09:39Hong Kong is, let me see your watch.
09:41You can buy a watch in Hong Kong,
09:43you can get them like for one-third price or something like that.
09:45Did you know that?
09:46Really?
09:47Yeah.
09:49Anyway, you know you can stop anytime you can.
09:51You're going now for a jackpot worth over a total of $4,000.
09:55Good luck.
09:56Take your first spin.
09:57Here's the money.
09:58Okay. Come on, money.
10:04Isn't that awful?
10:06I hope I didn't jinx you by talking about
10:08how very lucky you were with your spin.
10:10But I'm not superstitious.
10:11Are you?
10:12You are, huh?
10:13No, I guess not.
10:14It's all in fun.
10:16You're very kind to me, Steve.
10:18Anyway, I hope I didn't do it for you.
10:19Steve still has $1,000.
10:21That's his.
10:22He'll be meeting a new opponent.
10:23But right now, would you watch this, please?

11:00Bill, back to you.
11:01I thank you very kindly, Charlie.
11:03And back to me and back to Steve.
11:04Steve, you did all right,
11:05except until you got to that devil.
11:07I truly hope I didn't jinx you.
11:08But if you're ready to meet a new opponent,
11:10we're ready to introduce one.
11:11I sure am, Bill.
11:12Okay, Charlie, whom do we have coming out here?
11:14Bill, he's a writer and editor
11:16who has worked on a cruise ship and an oil rig.
11:18Say hello to Terry Maloney.
11:20Hello.
11:21Hello.
11:22How are you?
11:23Good to see you.
11:26Terry Maloney.
11:27How are you, Bill?
11:28Fine, thank you, Terry.
11:29Would I be remiss with a name like Terry Maloney
11:31if I asked if you were Irish?
11:33Just a wee bit.
11:34I think perhaps.
11:35You had a lot of interesting jobs on a cruise ship.
11:37You worked on an oil rig.
11:38You're a writer and you're an editor.
11:41How old are you?
11:4225.
11:43That's a lot of things for a fellow that young.
11:45I like to try and do as much as I can in the time I've got.
11:48Okay.
11:49I hope you have a lot of time.
11:50No, I do.
11:52At least until the end of the show,
11:53you wouldn't leave it.
11:54Absolutely.
11:55No, Steve wouldn't do it.
11:56I mean, Terry wouldn't do that.
11:57Well, anyway, here's something new for you to try, Terry.
11:59You too, Steve.
12:00Let me get out of the way and give you folks
12:02a chance to see the categories you're going to be playing with.
12:04They are The Body.
12:06That can be fun.
12:07Theme songs.
12:08Plays and playwrights.
12:10Spelling bee.
12:12How low will you go?
12:13You bid on how little information you need to answer.
12:16If and when that comes up and you choose it,
12:18I'll explain it further at that time.
12:20Terry, we begin with you.
12:21Good luck.
12:22Spin away and I'll call them out.
12:23All righty.
12:24Let's go.
12:25Terry Maloney spins.
12:26Joker.
12:27Spelling bee.
12:28Joker.
12:29Well.
12:30Let's, uh, spelling bee for $200.
12:34He's going spelling bee for $200,
12:36which is his right.
12:37And here's your question.
12:39Well, once you start to spell the word,
12:41do not go back over.
12:42Continue straight ahead.
12:43In other words, don't go back and start again.
12:45Good luck to you for $200, Terry.
12:47Misspelling this word could leave you in the cold.
12:52We ask you for $200, Terry,
12:54to spell the word icicle.
13:00I-C-E-C-Y-C-L-E.
13:03No, that is incorrect.
13:05Steve, you can win the $200
13:07if you can correctly spell the word icicle.
13:10Icicle.
13:11I-C-Y-C-L-E.
13:16No.
13:17Both of you missed it.
13:18Steve came closer,
13:19but we don't give points.
13:21Icicle is spelled I-C-I-C-L-E.
13:26I should have known that.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Why should you have known that, Terry?
13:29Because I'm a writer.
13:31That's true,
13:32but good writers do not necessarily spell all that well.
13:35Steve, you ready to spin?
13:36I sure am, Bill.
13:37Okay, let's see what's in here.
13:38Come on, Jokers.
13:39Jokers, Jokers, Jokers.
13:40Spelling bee, body,
13:41and click in somewhere.
13:43Kick it.
13:44There it is, theme songs.
13:45It fell in.
13:46Where do you want to go?
13:47I'd like theme songs for 50, please.
13:48Theme songs for 50 bucks.
13:50All right.
13:51This Austrian physician
13:53greatly advanced the field of psychiatry
13:56and is the founder of psychoanalysis.
13:59While treating a particularly difficult patient,
14:02he might have sung the theme song
14:05The Impossible Dream.
14:08For $50, what's his last name?
14:11Freud.
14:12Correct, Sigmund Freud.
14:15Terry, spin away.
14:16All righty.
14:17Come on, Jokers.
14:18Where are you?
14:19Got plays and playwrights.
14:20Jokers, air and the body.
14:21What do you want to do?
14:22Let's go with the body for $100.
14:25Okay, body for $100.
14:27A cardiologist deals with problems of the heart, Terry.
14:30A neurologist deals with the nervous system.
14:32For $100, what part of the body
14:35is the specialty of a doctor called an ophthalmologist?
14:38Eye doctor.
14:39Eye doctor, right answer.
14:40You have the money.
14:42Okay, Steve, spin to catch up.
14:44Come on, Joker.
14:45Joker, Joker, Joker.
14:47Joker again.
14:48That's pretty good.
14:50Okay, thanks.
14:51I'd like theme songs for $200, please.
14:53I'm not surprised you picked it.
14:55In 1982, this man portrayed a female soap opera actress
15:01in a popular movie.
15:03During that time, the song Toot, Toot, Tootsie
15:06might have made an appropriate theme song.
15:09For $200, Steve, what's this actor's last name?
15:12Hoffman.
15:13Hoffman, Dustin Hoffman.
15:14You were right.
15:16We'll be back here to pick it up.
15:17Right now, we got a word for you.
15:19♪♪
15:28Terry, you're trailing, but you have a spin.
15:30Good luck.
15:31All righty.
15:32Come on, let's get three Jokeys up.
15:33Come on.
15:34Joker, theme song, theme song.
15:36Not bad.
15:37Not bad.
15:40Theme songs for $200.
15:42All right, $200 question.
15:44Here you go, Terry.
15:45The hit 1958 song, Splish Splash,
15:49might have been the perfect theme song
15:51for the famed French oceanographer
15:54who helped develop the underwater aqualung.
15:57For $200, Terry, what's his last name?
16:02Cousteau.
16:03Correct.
16:04Jacques Cousteau.
16:07You guys are doing all right.
16:08All right, Steve.
16:09Come on, Joker.
16:10This is Steve.
16:11How low will you go,
16:12how low will you go in spelling B?
16:16How low will you go for $100?
16:19How low will you go for $100?
16:21Now, let me explain
16:22because this is a new category this season.
16:24I have here a list of eight characters
16:26who appeared in a popular television series.
16:29One of them was named Frank Burns.
16:32Remember that name.
16:33One of them was named Frank Burns.
16:36How few of the other seven characters
16:38will you need in order to name that TV show?
16:42I tell you now, you bid first, Steve,
16:44but Terry gets a chance to bid beneath you,
16:46and it will finally go to the one
16:48who has bid the fewest.
16:49How low do you want to start with?
16:51In other words, if I say two,
16:52that means one more after Frank Burns?
16:55He either has to let you have it or go to one.
16:58Okay, I'll say two.
17:00You'll do what you think.
17:01You know Frank Burns.
17:02You can do it in two more quizzes.
17:03I didn't say I know Frank Burns.
17:05No, but you heard it, I mean.
17:07Well, Terry, in order to take it away from him,
17:09you have to bid under two.
17:12I'm gonna let him run with it, Bill.
17:13Okay.
17:14Okay, if he misses, we get back to you, Terry.
17:16It might have worked very well.
17:18So, Steve, you're gonna bid first.
17:20I mean, you're gonna answer first.
17:22I have already given you Frank Burns.
17:24Now, we're looking for the name of a television series.
