00:00Today these three players are after big bucks, but they'll have to avoid the whammy, as they
00:26play the most exciting game of their lives.
00:27From Television City in Hollywood, it's time to Press Your Luck.
00:34And now, here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, Peter Kamerkin.
00:43Thank you very much.
00:49Thanks, Rod Roddy.
00:50Hi, everybody.
00:51Welcome to Press Your Luck, where we're going to have a wonderful time today.
00:54A little bit of craziness.
00:55Hopefully, no whammies, and it's just big bucks.
00:58So, we'll kind of keep our voices down, so the whammies don't hang around.
01:00Let's meet the three players who are looking for all the bucks.
01:03Starting with our very first player, Phil Shaw.
01:06How are you, Phil?
01:11Phil, are you some kind of star I don't know about?
01:13I mean, look at that applause and the screams.
01:15I think in my apartment building I may be, but the rest of the world's not yet to know me.
01:19Yeah, I see.
01:20Phil, you were born on a rather unusual day.
01:22What is this?
01:23April Fool's Day, actually.
01:24You think they did that on purpose, Phil?
01:26I don't know.
01:27It's got its pros and its cons.
01:28I never got spanked as a kid.
01:29They never believed it was my birthday.
01:32But it's all right.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Well, you looking for big bucks?
01:35Looking for big, big bucks.
01:36Well, you're in the right place, Phil.
01:37Good luck to you.
01:39Our second player is our champ, Judy Guthier.
01:42How are you, Judy?
01:43I'm great.
01:45You have $8,850 more than you had yesterday.
01:46Oh, it's wonderful.
01:47I love it.
01:48What are you going to do with it?
01:49Well, we just moved into a brand-new house.
01:50About three months ago, we were sitting in a sea of mud.
01:53So, I think we're going to get some grass seed to start with.
01:56It's a grass seed living room.
01:57It'll be kind of intriguing.
01:58That's a lovely dress, Judy.
01:59Those colors are great.
02:00Don't you think those colors are nice?
02:03Pretty.
02:04Very nice.
02:05Good luck to you today, Judy.
02:06Thank you, Phil.
02:07All right.
02:08Our third player, Danny Humphrey.
02:09How are you, Danny?
02:10Fine, thank you.
02:11Good.
02:12Don't we get any applause for Danny?
02:13Come on.
02:14Absolutely.
02:15Danny, where are you from?
02:16Dixon, Illinois.
02:18Who else is from that small town?
02:20Ronald Reagan.
02:21Ronald Reagan.
02:22Our president.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Wow.
02:25He's probably watching you at this very moment.
02:26I hope so.
02:27Big buzz.
02:28All right.
02:29Good luck, Danny.
02:30All right, gang.
02:31You give me a buzz and answer, you're going to get three spins.
02:32And for a multiple-choice answer, you get one spin.
02:35Here is the first question.
02:37What fraction of American adults say they learned the facts of life from someone other than their parents?
02:43Phil.
02:44Half.
02:45Is it one-half, one-quarter, or three-quarters?
02:47Judy?
02:48I have to say three-fourths.
02:49What would you say, Danny?
02:50Half.
02:51The fraction of us who say we learned about the facts of life from non-parents is three-quarters.
02:55Judy gets the spin.
02:59I won't ask how you know, Judy.
03:01You probably heard it from someone other than your parents.
03:02Could be.
03:03Right.
03:04Here we go.
03:05According to Health and Living magazine, if you want to get the best night's sleep, what is the best color to paint your bedroom?
03:11Danny?
03:12Pink.
03:13Is it pink, green, or blue?
03:15Phil?
03:16I'd say blue.
03:17What would you say, Judy?
03:18I'd say blue.
03:19The answer is bedroom blue.
03:21Phil gets a spin.
03:22Judy goes to two.
03:25I painted mine black.
03:26Is that...
03:29Figures.
03:30Yeah, thanks.
03:31There we go.
03:32In what sport can you score points by using a sky hook, a slam jam...
03:36Phil?
03:37Basketball.
03:38And a dunk.
03:39Is it basketball, hockey, or football, Judy?
03:41Basketball.
03:42What do you think, Danny?
03:43Basketball.
03:44Yeah, those are all ways of scoring basketball.
03:46Phil to four.
03:47Judy to three.
03:48And Danny gets a spin.
03:49Last question, gang.
03:52According to the old expression, what do you take the bull by?
03:56Danny?
03:57Tail.
03:58Is it the tail, the horns, or the ears, Phil?
04:00It's the horns.
04:01What do you think, Judy?
04:02It's the horns.
04:03You take the bull by the horns, gang.
04:05Phil goes to five.
04:06Judy to four.
04:07And Danny stays at one.
04:08And you guys will make some money when we come back.
04:10Hurry back.
04:11We're gonna have some fun.
04:19All right.
04:20It's time for you players to make some money.
04:21Are you up for it?
04:22Yeah.
04:23All right.
04:24It's up there.
04:25$50,000-plus in spin, in prizes, and in cash.
04:26Some whammies here and there.
04:27You don't want any whammies.
04:28No?
04:29No.
04:30Ready to go on a trip?

08:09All right.
08:10All right.
08:11This is
08:12a long half hour.
08:15All right.
08:16Gang.
08:17This is the tough part.
08:20This is where you have to earn the spins, and you earn them by answering these questions.
08:25Are you ready for them?
08:27Are you primed?
08:28Here we go.
08:29Out of every five mothers today, how many are choosing to nurse their babies rather
08:33than bottle feed them, Phil?
08:352.
08:36Is it 2, 1, or 3, Judy?
08:373.
08:38What do you think, Danny?
08:39Out of every five modern mothers, three choose to nurse their babies.
08:42And Judy gets the spin and goes into the lead again.
08:45Second question.
08:47Here's a question for you, geography buffs.
08:50What European country is shaped like a boot?
08:53Judy.
08:54Italy.
08:55Is it Italy, Holland or Greece, Phil?
08:57It's Italy.
08:58What is it, Danny?
08:59Italy.
09:00That boot-shaped country is Italy.
09:01Phil gets a spin, Judy a four, Danny a spin.
09:05Number three.
09:07According to the children's nursery rhyme, sing a song of sixpence,
09:11how many blackbirds were baked in that pie, Judy?
09:14Four and twenty.
09:15That's the correct answer, four and twenty.
09:17In other words, twenty-four.
09:18Twelve or thirty-six, Phil?
09:20It's twenty-four.
09:21What do you think, Danny?
09:22Twenty-four.
09:23There were four and twenty blackbirds baked in that pie.
09:24That's indeed twenty-four.
09:26Phil to two, Judy to seven and Danny to two.
09:30Last question.
09:32The answer to this question comes to us from an old saying.
09:36What is it that makes the world go round?
09:38Phil.
09:39Love.
09:40Is it love, greed or sex, Judy?
09:43Love.
09:44Love.
09:45What do you think, Danny?
09:46Love.
09:47Sex makes the world go round?
09:48No.
09:49It's love that makes the world go round.
09:51Phil to five, Judy to eight and Danny to three.
09:54And big bucks coming next, folks, so hurry back.
09:59All right, gang, we're talking a serious stuff up on that board.
10:24We're talking big bucks, a motorbike, a windjammer cruise,
10:27trip to Hong Kong, Tahiti, Estapa.
10:29Isn't that great?
10:30Over $100,000 in wonderful things.
10:32Also, you probably don't know this,
10:33but this particular show is being directed by Mr. Rick Stern.
10:36You see, he's normally the assistant director.
10:38So when he's a new director, sometimes they make mistakes and screw up.
10:42That happens on occasion.
10:46That wasn't my fault.
10:47That was just his fault.
10:48But he's a new guy on the job.
10:49You know what I mean?
10:50You've got to keep him awake.
10:51In any event, Phil with $1,000, you will play last.
10:55And Danny with $550, you will play first three spins.
10:58Are you ready?
10:59Magic!
11:00Here we go.
11:01Yeah!
11:02Big bucks.
11:03Got to do it this time.
11:04Last chance.
11:05Okay.
11:06Ready?
11:07Big bucks.
11:08Stop!
11:09Stop at $500.
11:10$1,050, first place by $50.

11:29Got to finish this job right, too.
11:32Got to get these big bucks.
11:34Big bucks and stop!
11:36Stop at $750 and a spin.
11:38$3,300, you still have the one spin, Danny, you're in first place by $2,300.
11:44Gosh.
11:47I got to press.
11:48Here we go.
11:49I came here to do it.
11:50I feel lucky.
11:51Okay, the luck's with me now.
11:52Got to go, got to go, have a trip, big bucks, stop!
11:56Stop at Hong Kong!
11:58All right, Danny, that trip to Hong Kong's worth $2,306.5606.
12:02Well done. Solid first place for now.
12:04Let's see what Judy can do with $9.50 and eight spins.
12:06Okay, I'm ready, Peter. Let's go.
12:08We're going for big bucks, big bucks, and stop!
12:11Stop!
12:13He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!
12:16He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!
12:20Ha-ha!
12:22Well, it's probably the best time to get it, Judy.
12:24That's right.
12:25It didn't cost you money, it just cost you a spin.
12:26Seven spins left.
12:27Let's go. Positive thoughts now.
12:28We're going to go for big, big bucks and stop!
12:30Stop at $7.50 and a spin.
12:31You got your money back.
12:32Great.
12:33You are in third place, seven spins.
12:35Okay, we're going to go, Peter.
12:36We're going to go for major, major bucks here, and stop!
12:38Stop!
12:39Another win.
12:41Give me a W-H-A-E, give me an M-M-Y.
12:46You weren't a cheerleader, were you, Judy?
12:48No.
12:49Okay. Well, just checking.
12:50Six spins left, two whammies. What are you going to do?
12:52Okay. Well, we've got to go.
12:53Okay. Here we go.

12:55Okay, we're going to go.
12:56We're going to press our luck and big bucks. Stop!
12:59Stop at big bucks.
13:00Yay!
13:01Five thousand a spin. That's better, Judy.
13:03That's much better.
13:04Second place, five thousand, six spins.
13:06That's better.
13:07Press your pass.
13:08All right. Oh, we're going to go for it.
13:10Okay.
13:11No doubt about that.
13:12Okay, we're going to go for major bucks again.
13:13That was really beautiful.
13:14We're going to do it one more time.
13:15And stop!
13:16Stop at twelve hundred and fifty.
13:17All right.
13:18Sixty-two fifty.
13:19You're now in first place by about six hundred dollars.
13:20Five spins, Judy.
13:21We're going to go.
13:22Okay.
13:23We're going to go.
13:24We're looking for big bucks here.
13:25Big bucks.
13:26And stop!
13:27Stop at five hundred more.
13:28All right.

13:48Eighty-one hundred, rather.
13:49Eighty-one thousand wouldn't be bad.
13:50I love eighty-one thousand.
13:51Eighty-one hundred and fifty dollars, I bet.
13:52You said it first.
13:53Three spins.
13:54Broke your hand, huh, Judy?
13:55It's okay.
13:56Three spins left.
13:57First place.
13:58What do you want to do?
13:59Eighty-one fifteen.
14:00You have about two thousand five hundred more than Danny.
14:02Right.
14:03And three spins would go to Danny.
14:05That's a lot.
14:06I'm going to press.
14:07Here we go.
14:08I'm going to press.
14:09I'm going to go.
14:10I'm going to go.

14:12It'll be great.
14:13And stop!
14:14Stop at fourteen hundred dollars.
14:15Ninety-five fifty.
14:16Two spins left.
14:17You're passing two spins to Danny.
14:18Danny wants them.
14:19You got them.
14:20Fifty-six oh six.
14:21Here we go.
14:22She's giving me another chance.
14:23Oh, let's get those big bucks.
14:24Don't let her down.
14:25Big bucks.

14:32Randy.
14:43Oh, I think Judy felt that coming on.
14:45Hmm.
14:46Left you with a spin, however.
14:47You're not out of it.
14:48What do you want to do, Danny?
14:49Got to get some money.
14:50All right.
14:51Looking for spins.
14:52And bucks.
14:53Big bucks and a spin.
14:54And I can still pay.
14:55Big bucks.
14:56And stop!
14:57Stop.
14:58Oh, they're ready.
14:59I love big bucks.
15:00And it's a spree.
15:01I guess they figure they can meet the president if they get closer to you.
15:02I think so.
15:03I don't know, Danny.
15:04Not out of the game, however.
15:05We're going to go to Phil with a thousand dollars and five spins.
15:06All right.
15:07Here we go, Phil.
15:08It can be done.
15:09Big bucks.
15:10Come my way.
15:11Big bucks.
15:12And stop!
15:13Stop at fourteen hundred dollars.
15:14Twenty-four.
15:15All right.
15:16That's the way to do it.
15:17Full spins.
15:18About seventy-one hundred and fifty.
15:19Shy of Judy.
15:20Big bucks.
15:21Big bucks.
15:22Let me take a break.
15:23And stop!
15:24Stop at two thousand more.
15:25Forty-six.
15:26And stop!
15:27Four thousand more.
15:28Forty-four hundred.
15:29About fifty-one fifty.
15:30Shy of Judy.
15:31Three spins, Phil.
15:32We're doing it.
15:33Okay.
15:34Big bucks.
15:35Big bucks.
15:36Give me a break.
15:37Some more big bucks.
15:38Stop!
15:39Stop at a whammy.
15:40Okay, Phil.
15:41Two whammies.
15:42No doubt it was two spins.
15:43You've got ninety-five fifty ahead of you.
15:44What are you going to do with the two spins?
15:45I'm going to do it.
15:46I'm going to do it.
15:47I'm going to do it.
15:48I'm going to do it.
15:49I'm going to do it.
15:50I'm going to do it.
15:51I'm going to do it.
15:52I'm going to do it.
15:53I'm going to do it.
15:54I'm going to do it.
15:58I've got to spin.
15:59I've got to go.
16:00Okay, here we go, Phil.
16:01Come on.
16:02Bucks and a spin.
16:03Bucks and a spin.
16:04Come on.
16:05Give it to me.
16:06Stop!
16:07Stop at another whammy.
16:20It feels a little bit like April Fool's Day, huh, Phil?
16:22It is.
16:23Here's the situation.
16:24You have one spin, three whammies, no dollars.
16:25One more whammy, not only out of the game, Judy would win it.
16:28You can elect to go.
16:29If you do, you'll need something
16:30with an additional spin to stay in the game.
16:32You can pass it to Judy.
16:33If she whammies, all three of you come back.
16:39Um...
16:40I'm gonna go.
16:41Phil's going for it.
16:42Needs something with an additional spin.
16:44Judy, big spin. Here we go.
16:45Come on. Big bucks and a spin.
16:47Do it for me. April Fool's come true.
16:49Stop!
16:50Stop at a whammy.
16:51And Judy, you're the champ today
16:53for $39,550 in a game brought to you by Whammy.
16:58We'll come back and talk to you after these words.

18:23I will take away your winnings one whammy at a time.

18:45Hold it, there's more.
18:47Some win some of the time,
18:49and they go almost crazy.
18:50I am sad because they are glad.
18:53Makes me feel like I was lazy.
18:55So get some rest.
18:56I will do my best to beat you at the game
18:58because I'm that little old whammy
19:00of TV's Press Your Luck fame.
