00:00You've been fresh.
00:07Here are our champions.
00:09They're three of a kind.
00:11Hi, I'm Lisa Jackson.
00:13I'm Nancy Sandson.
00:14I'm Sharon Walensky.
00:15And we're Waitresses!
00:18And they're here to play hot...
00:22potato!
00:24And here to toss the hot potato, our host, Bill Cullen!
00:30Hello there. Thank you.
00:32Thank you very much.
00:34Please, thank you.
00:36We thank you all very much, and welcome to Hot Potato.
00:39It is our pleasure that you joined us.
00:41And you see we're in a new place at this moment,
00:44as far as our usual opening is concerned,
00:46and that's because it is an unusual opening.
00:48Our waitresses have won a game.
00:50They defeated the police officers, as time was called,
00:53and they won the right to come up here and go for the big bonus money.
00:56Ladies, so far, you have gathered $4,500,
01:00and as you know, if you get up here to the jackpot,
01:03the bonus game, and you don't win,
01:04each time that happens, we add $5,000 to it.
01:08Well, you haven't won yet, Barrett,
01:09and right now, you're going to be playing for a bonus worth $20,000.
01:15So wish him...
01:16I hope you do it.
01:23I truly, I truly hope you do it.
01:26I wish you the very best.
01:27You're going for $20,000.
01:28Let me first announce, please, the subject of today's bonus is noise.
01:33Now, we're going to show you a pair of things that make noise,
01:36and each time you'll have to tell me which is louder.
01:40Each time you're correct, you earn $500.
01:42Now, you may quit whenever you want,
01:44but if you can answer five questions correctly,
01:46you'll win your jackpot, which is now at $20,000.
01:49Now, before we begin, in order to calm us all down,
01:51Sharon, welcome back.
01:52We hope you had a nice evening, did you?
01:54Yes, very nice.
01:54Things were good at the restaurant.
01:56Yes, they were.
01:56Nancy, you too.
01:58And Lisa.
01:59Is it Lisa or Liza?
02:00Lisa.
02:00Lisa.
02:01All right.
02:02Now, another bit of information.
02:03You may pass the question if you think it's too tough
02:06after you've seen the choice,
02:07but only once per bonus game.
02:09Okay, if you're ready, we are.
02:10You're going now for $20,000.
02:13Here's the question.
02:14Which is louder, an air raid siren or a refrigerator?
02:22Well, talk it over and talk loud enough.
02:24I think you look terribly confident, lady.
02:28Sharon is captain.
02:30I'll ask you now for the record.
02:31Do you want to play or pass?
02:32We will play.
02:33You're going to play.
02:33I'm surprised at that.
02:35All right.
02:35Of the two, which is louder,
02:36the air raid siren or the refrigerator?
02:39We're going to answer air raid siren.
02:40You are right, and you have $500.
02:43That's right.
02:44$500.
02:46Okay.
02:48Don't you hope as we go along that they are all that simple.
02:51You have $500.
02:53Do you want to go for $1,000?
02:54We're going to go.
02:58Okay, you're going?
02:59Yes, we're going to go.
02:59Knowing that if you miss, you'll lose it all.
03:01So right now, you're going for $1,000 or nothing.
03:05First of all, I'll pose the question,
03:06then you talk it over and decide whether you want to pass.
03:08Which is louder, a Led Zeppelin concert or a car ride?
03:14Discuss it.
03:15They seem happy.
03:17A Led Zeppelin concert.
03:19You going to play or pass?
03:20Oh, yes, we'll play this.
03:21You're going now for a...
03:22It's a guess, but we're going to say Led Zeppelin concert.
03:24Good guess is all I have to say.
03:28You're doing all right.
03:30$1,000.
03:31What a nice way to start our program and start your day.
03:36Okay, you have $1,000.
03:38You want to go on?
03:39I'm going to play or quit?
03:40You're going to go.
03:44Wait a minute.
03:45Your choice.
03:46Your choice.
03:48Going on.
03:48Okay.
03:49We're going to go.
03:50Okay, Sharon says you're going to go.
03:51Question to you this time is, which is louder?
03:53A jet engine or a rocket launch?
03:57Talk it over.
03:58Wouldn't it be a rocket launch?
03:59You may decide to play or pass.
04:02We'll play then, right?
04:03Yeah.
04:03Okay, we're going to play.
04:04You're going to play out of the two.
04:06Now you're going for $1,500 or nothing.
04:08What's your answer?
04:09Rocket launch?
04:10You're right.
04:10You got the $1,500.
04:15Okay.
04:16Oh, wow.
04:18You have $1,500 you want to play.
04:21You can take it and quit and come back one more time.
04:24You're short.
04:28All right.
04:30What have you decided?
04:31Remember, you have a pass that you can use if you need it.
04:33What do you want to do?
04:34I don't want to influence you.
04:35We'll go.
04:36You're going.
04:36All right.
04:37You're going now.
04:38You've got the $1,500.
04:39You're going for $2,000 or nothing.
04:42And I mean this when I say it.
04:43You're a fine bunch of ladies, and I hope you do it.
04:45You're going for $2,000 or nothing.
04:48Let's see.
04:49Which is louder, a clothes dryer or freeway traffic?
04:54Talk it over and decide whether you want to pass or play.
04:57If you think you have a good answer.
04:59Freeway traffic.
05:01What do you think?
05:01So you're going to play?
05:02Obviously it's not.
05:03Play or pass?
05:04I don't know.
05:04Let's play.
05:05Let's go for freeway traffic.
05:06Okay.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Okay.
05:07Sherry, you're going to play?
05:09Yeah, we're going to play.
05:10Great confidence you have, Sherry.
05:11I know they keep changing their mind.
05:14$2,000 or nothing.
05:15You say you're going to play?
05:16Yeah, we're going to play.
05:17Give me an answer.
05:18Okay, we're going to say freeway traffic.
05:19Do you mean a clothes dryer on freeway traffic?
05:21You're right.
05:23Oh, boy.
05:30One more question, right?
05:31And now, yes, here is your situation.
05:33We have one more question, and you still have a pass coming.
05:37You'll now be going for $20,000 or nothing.
05:41You can take your money.
05:43You're going?
05:45Oh.
05:46We're going.
05:48Oh, boy.
05:50It's now $20,000 or nothing.
05:53Lisa and Nancy are sharing.
05:55Remember, you have a pass.
05:57Here's your problem.
05:58Which is louder, a discotheque or a motorcycle?
06:02Talk it over.
06:03Decide whether you want to play or pass.
06:05Okay, let's go.
06:06We're going to play.
06:07You're going to play.
06:08Wait a minute.
06:08You're going to play.
06:09Okay, now.
06:10This answer, I don't want to scare you.
06:12You are.
06:13Okay.
06:14It's for $20,000 or nothing.
06:17Your team has decided you're going on.
06:19Is it a discotheque or a motorcycle?
06:21$20,000.
06:22Discotheque.
06:24Discotheque.
06:24Your answer is discotheque?
06:26Uh-huh.
06:26It is right.
06:28I was cold to hold it this time so to keep it safe.
06:44I try very hard.
07:00I never show favorites during a game.
07:02I don't.
07:02But I must say, you've been with us a few days.
07:04You three girls are delightful.
07:06Nobody could be happier than I.
07:08You've got $24,500.
07:11You're still cold.
07:11We'll be back in a moment.
07:13We've got to go out and pick up $24,000.
07:14Come back.
07:28Oh, this cold.
07:30I'll never rest.
07:32Sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever.
07:38I need my NyQuil.
07:40Now there's something new.
07:41NyQuil has all I need.
07:43How about new NyQuil?
07:44It's improved.
07:45It has more for your cough, a new decongestant, more for your aches and pains, more...
07:49More of what I'd take NyQuil for.
07:51New, improved Vicks NyQuil.
07:52More than ever, the nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head fever so you can rest medicine.
07:58You're gonna get it.
08:01You're gonna get it.
08:04You're gonna get it.
08:07Jimmy won't get it because Spray and Wash is gonna get it.
08:10Back to the original clean, like it was this morning.
08:14Look, these are tough stains.
08:16But that's no problem for Spray and Wash.
08:17It's specially made to get out tough stains.
08:20See, your shirt's back to the original clean.
08:23Thanks, Mom.
08:24The original clean.
08:25You're gonna get it.
08:26With Spray and Wash.
08:30Oh, they did it so well.
08:32They are such marvelous winners.
08:35$24,500.
08:37And you're still playing and you're still our defending champion.
08:40So there you are.
08:41Now, the time has come for another game.
08:43And when we start another game, we go and get you some opponents.
08:46And we have some lovely ones.
08:48Let's find out who they are.
08:49Hi, I'm Elaine Ravishan.
08:52I'm Wendy Dennis.
08:54I'm Claudia West.
08:55And we're...
08:56Mothers of Twins!
08:57Mothers of Twins!
09:00Hi, darling.
09:03Hello, Elaine.
09:04Wendy.
09:05Hi.
09:05Hey, Claudia.
09:06You're all mothers of twins?
09:08Yes.
09:08Well, Elaine, you're the captain.
09:09Tell us about some of the particulars.
09:11Well, it's a lot of work.
09:13Oh, I know that.
09:14But also, besides our twins, we have ten children between us.
09:19Ten children?
09:20I have three, and Wendy has four, and Claudia has six.
09:23We welcome all of you to our program.
09:25You were going to oppose our champions.
09:27Now, they're in control.
09:28In the big celebration, after our waitresses won the 24,000,
09:31Sharon Damien kissed.
09:33Does it show on my makeup?
09:34I don't know.
09:34I have to wipe it off.
09:35Does it show there?
09:36Because my wife.
09:37And here, take it, take it.
09:39Because I have to go home, you know.
09:41You got any onion?
09:44No.
09:44Okay.
09:45You know, the waitresses are in control.
09:47We're going to come up with a question.
09:49Everybody listen, because this question might very well pertain to everybody on the stage,
09:53including me, because I have to read it.
09:54Here's the first question.
09:57It applies, really.
09:58The many varieties of nuts are popular for cooking and snacking.
10:03We have here the list of the eight most purchased varieties of nuts in the U.S.
10:09compiled by the Department of Agriculture.
10:12Can you name seven of them?
10:14We begin with our waitresses in control.
10:16And, Lisa, you are first.
10:18We need seven answers on the board or eliminate your opponent.
10:20That's the way it goes.
10:21What are you going to do, Lisa?
10:22I'll try.
10:23Here comes one.
10:23I'll say pecan.
10:25Pecan is correct.
10:26We have an answer on the board.
10:29Okay, Nancy, your choice.
10:31What are you going to do?
10:32I'm going to answer.
10:32Here comes another nut.
10:35Thanks.
10:36Peanuts.
10:37Peanuts is right.
10:38We have two on the board.
10:39Karen.
10:40I'm going to answer.
10:42I'm going to answer.
10:43I'm going to say almonds.
10:44Almonds is right again.
10:45We have three on the board.
10:48Incidentally, my little magic machine tells me that the number one answer, the most popular
10:52of all, is peanuts.
10:53That's just for your information.
10:54Back to you again, Lisa.
10:56We have three right answers on the board.
10:57What do you want to do?
10:58I'll try.
10:59Okay, another try coming.
11:00I'll say walnuts.
11:01Walnuts is right, too.
11:03Of course.
11:03Be patient, mothers, dear.
11:07It might get to you sooner or later.
11:09So far, we've had pecan, peanuts, number one, almonds, and walnut.
11:13Nancy, it's your turn.
11:14Do you want to answer?
11:15I'll answer.
11:16Okay.
11:16Let me have it.
11:17Cashews.
11:17Cashews.
11:18There's another right one that we have.
11:20Bye-bye.
11:22We only need two correct answers.
11:24It's your turn, Sharon.
11:25What do you choose to do?
11:27I'm going to answer.
11:28I'm going to say Brazil nuts.
11:29Brazil nuts.
11:30I am sorry, Sharon.
11:32Incorrect.
11:32That knocked you out of the game.
11:33Poor Sharon.
11:34She has to go sit on the bench.
11:36Control passes to the...
11:37Well, mothers, I told you to be patient.
11:39It got back to you.
11:40Elaine, you now have a choice.
11:41You're in control.
11:42Do you want to give me an answer, or do you want to challenge your opponents?
11:46I have an answer.
11:47You do?
11:47Then by all means, let me have it.
11:49Pistachio.
11:50Pistachio is right.
11:51And we are now...
11:55Now, we only need one more right answer.
11:58When do you have it?
11:59For the round.
12:00For the round.
12:01Can you give us the right answer?
12:02You may challenge if you're in doubt.
12:04It's up to you.
12:06What are you going to do?
12:06I think I'm going to try.
12:08This, then, is for the round.
12:09I can now remind you we've had pecan, peanut, almond, walnut, cashew, and pistachio.
12:15This, Wendy, is for the round.
12:17Okay.
12:17I'm going to go with hazelnuts.
12:20Is right.
12:21And the money is for the round.
12:26Absolutely.
12:29Hazelnuts or filberts, either one of those were correct.
12:33And they are the nuts.
12:35Macadamias is another one that you needn't have answered.
12:38But that's way up there, too.
12:39So, you ladies have one round, number one.
12:41And we'll be back here to give you a chance to play some more.
12:43But right now, we're going to pause for a couple of words coming your way.
12:55Bye.
12:56The wedding's this afternoon.
12:58Oh, we've got to get the flowers there.
13:00I've got a headache, and I can't find my aspirin.
13:03Oh, take my buffrin.
13:04Oh?
13:04Plain aspirin is smart, but it can upset your stomach.
13:07Taking buffrin is smarter.
13:08Oh.
13:09Look, some stomachs are delicate, like this orchid.
13:12And plain aspirin can upset them.
13:14Buffrin has aspirin plus special buffers to help protect against stomach upset.
13:18How are you feeling?
13:20A lot smarter.
13:21Buffrin is smarter.
13:23Also an extra strength.
13:24You're in the lobby?
13:25No, you're not too early.
13:29When you don't have much time to dust, reach for new Stretch and Dust, a unique one-step dusting cloth.
13:35Stretch it, and look.
13:37Thousands of tiny fibers pop up to grab dust and hold on to it.
13:41The dust goes into the cloth, and Stretch and Dust leaves a light, natural luster.
13:46No fuss with sprays.
13:47What took you so long?
13:49New disposable Stretch and Dust picks up dust and leaves the shine in one step.
13:55Mm-mm!
13:58Monique, how come you go, mm-mm, after you crunch?
14:01Plainter's cheese balls taste divine.
14:03Better than those.
14:04Get your act together.
14:06Mm-mm!
14:07Plainter's do taste better.
14:09Cheesy.
14:10Crunchy!
14:11They're Plainter's!
14:12Now you are following my lead!
14:15Plainter's cheese balls and crunchy cheese curls.
14:17More mm-mm after every crunch.
14:19They're mine!
14:21Ooh, now Biscuits!
14:23Aren't you glad, aren't you glad to know you'll be your best today?
14:30Aren't you glad, aren't you glad there's dial to make you feel that way?
14:36Aren't you glad for being together?
14:39Aren't you glad when people smile?
14:41Aren't you glad you used dial?
14:45Aren't you glad you used dial?
14:48Aren't you glad, aren't you glad you used dial?
14:53Okay, welcome back again.
14:59This is rather a momentous and eventful day for us
15:02because our waitresses, our defending champions,
15:04won during their...
15:05Now they've brought their winnings up.
15:07They hit a $20,000 jackpot and have $24,500.
15:10The moms and twins are their new challengers
15:12and they've won the first round.
15:14Congratulations.
15:15We need the money.
15:16You do.
15:17Any three mothers with twins need the money.
15:19You have ten kids amongst you, huh?
15:21Yes.
15:21Okay, we're going to start with you,
15:22but first I've got to read the question.
15:24Everybody listen.
15:24It probably or might likely pertain to all of you.
15:27Animal lovers, that's the question.
15:29What type of dog would you most like to cuddle?
15:33We asked this question in a nationwide survey
15:36by way of the Davis Research Corporation
15:38and we have a list of the top seven responses.
15:42Name the seven dogs people would most like to cuddle.
15:45Okay, Elaine, we're going to begin with you.
15:47Do you want to answer a challenge?
15:49I have an answer.
15:49Give me one, please.
15:50Poodle.
15:51Poodle is right.
15:52Oh, that's odd.
15:53I've got to go along.
15:55I repeat.
15:57The poodle, my information machine tells me,
15:59is the number one response.
16:01If I act surprised,
16:02it's because I don't have the answers until you give them.
16:04Wendy, what do you say?
16:05Answer or challenge?
16:06I have an answer,
16:07but I'm not sure if I'm going to pronounce it right.
16:09Don't worry about it.
16:10Pronunciation does not count,
16:11or I wouldn't be here.
16:12All right.
16:13Good luck to you.
16:14A lot so off so.
16:16Right or wrong,
16:17it's wrong,
16:18because that's an incorrect...
16:20Please, please go over there and sit on the bench.
16:22I guess any dog that you can't pronounce is difficult to love.
16:25Anyway,
16:26Wendy has been knocked out of the game.
16:28Control passes to the waitresses,
16:29and Lisa, you're up.
16:30You're going to come up with a dog, or...
16:32I'll try.
16:35All right.
16:35Here comes Lisa's answer.
16:38I'm going to say...
16:38I have to say this because my dog is a collie.
16:41A collie is right.
16:42Okay.
16:46All right, Nancy.
16:47Your choice.
16:48I'm going to answer.
16:49Here comes another answer.
16:50It's Nancy.
16:51Our waitresses are in control.
16:52She says...
16:53Cock or spaniel.
16:53Cock...
16:54Yeah, that's right.
16:56Well, now,
16:57Sharon, it's all...
16:59Cock or spaniel,
17:01it's all to you now, Sharon.
17:02We need four more right answers.
17:03You have two opponents over there.
17:05What do you want to do?
17:06I'm going to answer.
17:07Here comes Sharon.
17:09I'm going to say German Shepherd.
17:10German Shepherd is correct.
17:13Good for you.
17:16Lisa?
17:17Lisa, you have it.
17:19What do you want to do?
17:20We've had poodle, collie,
17:21Cock or spaniel,
17:22and shepherd so far.
17:24I'll answer.
17:25Here comes another answer.
17:27I'll say...
17:28A golden retriever.
17:32Golden retriever.
17:33Wrong.
17:34Okay, Lisa,
17:35go sit in the doghouse,
17:36please, Lisa.
17:37We'll call for you
17:38at suppertime.
17:39Back to the mothers of twins.
17:41Control's passed to you.
17:42We have...
17:43We need three more right answers.
17:44You have two opponents.
17:45What do you want to do?
17:47Claudia, you're in control.
17:49I think I'm going to pass it.
17:51You are going to pass it.
17:52To Nancy.
17:52Nancy, it's up to you.
17:53In order to stay in the game,
17:55to stay alive as it were,
17:56you have to give me
17:56one of those dogs.
17:57A Pekingese.
17:58Pekingese.
17:59Wrong.
18:00No.
18:01Wrong, Nancy.
18:02It surprises me, too.
18:03So Nancy joins Lisa.
18:05That was a very good challenge
18:06you made there, Claudia.
18:07Now, you have it, Elaine.
18:08There's one opponent left.
18:10We need either
18:11three more right answers,
18:12or you can try
18:13eliminating Sharon.
18:14What do you want to do?
18:15I'm going to challenge Sharon.
18:17Okay, the challenge
18:18is over to you, Sharon.
18:19In order to stay in the round,
18:21you have to come up
18:22with a right answer.
18:23And this would be,
18:23if you missed,
18:24it's for the round
18:25and a game that would go
18:27to our mothers-to-be
18:29if you missed.
18:30Good luck.
18:31I'm going to say
18:32St. Bernard.
18:33St. Bernard.
18:34It's wrong,
18:35and our mothers of twins
18:36are our new champions.
18:41That was tough.
18:41That was a hard one.
18:43Congratulations, girls.
18:46The answers,
18:48well, that was,
18:48that was, you know,
18:49after a big win
18:50like you had,
18:51and you did indeed
18:51have a big win,
18:52there was a natural letdown,
18:53and sometimes
18:54that does happen.
18:55But, oh,
18:55I must mention
18:56the other dogs
18:57that we could have accepted.
18:58The Labrador,
18:59the Mutt,
18:59or the Mongrel,
19:00I mean,
19:01they are considered
19:01one of those,
19:02and the Schnauzer.
19:03There you go.
19:04Those were the dogs
19:05we could have had.
19:07Please do not,
19:08try not to show
19:09a preference for dogs.
19:11All I can say,
19:12first of all,
19:12to our moms of twins,
19:13congratulations.

21:51Hot Potatoes.

21:54but Elaine and Wendy
21:55and Claudia,
21:56all mothers of twins,

22:01now to go for our bonus.
22:03You have $1,000,
22:04and you're going
22:04for $5,000.
22:05Now,
22:05the subject
22:06of today's bonus
22:07is honesty.
22:09Honesty.
22:09That's a sort of fun
22:11sort of subject.
22:12I'm going to show you
22:12a pair of occupations,
22:13and each time
22:14you have to tell me
22:14which occupation
22:15do people trust more,
22:17according to a Gallup survey.
22:19Each time you're correct,
22:20you earn $500.
22:21You may quit
22:22whenever you want,
22:23but if you can answer
22:23five questions correctly,
22:25you'll win your jackpot,
22:26which is now at $5,000.
22:27Remember,
22:28you have a pass
22:29you can use once
22:30during the game.
22:31All right.
22:32Honesty is the subject.
22:33Here's your question.
22:34Which occupation
22:35do people trust the most,
22:37according to a Gallup survey?
22:39Clergyman or congressman?
22:42Everybody has their own
22:43thoughts about these.
22:45Trust more,
22:46I guess that should be.
22:47Elaine,
22:48do you want to answer
22:49or pass?
22:49Yes,
22:49we'll answer the question.
22:50Okay,
22:50what do you say?
22:51Clergyman.
22:51Clergyman is correct.
22:53Absolutely.
22:53You have $500.
22:55You want to go
22:56for $1,000.
22:58If you miss,
22:59you'll lose
22:59what you've already won.
23:00We want to go.
23:01You want to go?
23:02Yes, yes.
23:03All right,
23:04they've decided
23:04they're going to go on.
23:05You're playing now
23:06for $1,000
23:08or nothing.
23:09Which occupation
23:10do people trust the more,
23:12according to a Gallup survey?
23:13Reporters
23:14or doctors?
23:16Talk it over
23:17and use your pass
23:18if you would like to.
23:19What do you want to do?
23:19We'll play.
23:20You're going on.
23:21All right,
23:21what do you say?
23:22Doctors.
23:22Is correct,
23:23and you now have
23:24$1,000.
23:24Good luck.
23:28Okay,
23:29you can at this point
23:30take your money
23:30and leave,
23:31and you're still
23:32in the game,
23:33of course.
23:33Which do you want to do?
23:35You're going on.
23:37They're going on.
23:38Question,
23:38which do people
23:39trust the more,
23:40according to a Gallup survey?
23:42Dentists
23:42or senators?
23:45Remember,
23:45you have
23:46talk it over
23:46and you have
23:47a pass
23:47if you should
23:48want to use it.
23:50Okay.
23:50Are you going to go on
23:51or pass?
23:52Your choice.
23:53We're going to go on.
23:54You're going to go on.
23:54All right,
23:55is it dentists
23:55or senators?
23:56It's senators,
23:58I hope.
23:58It is dentists.
24:01It is dentists,
24:02so you lose
24:03what you already
24:04had built up there.
24:05But here's the important thing.
24:06You will do
24:07what our waitresses did.
24:08Each time you get back here,
24:09assuming you win,
24:10we add $5,000
24:12to that jackpot.
24:13So who knows,
24:14you might be going
24:15for $20,000.
24:15And if you defeat
24:17another team,
24:17we'll bring you
24:17back up here.
24:18And right now,
24:19we thought maybe
24:20the folks would like
24:21to meet the other team.
24:22Let's see who they are.
24:25Hi,
24:25I'm Allison Pine.
24:27I'm Ron Bianco.
24:28I'm Arlene Lurie.
24:30And we're
24:31Telegram Singers!
24:35There you go.
24:36Very well done.
24:39And you are,
24:40you are what again?
24:42Telegram Singers.
24:43Oh,
24:43you're the people
24:43who sing
24:44Happy Birthday
24:44and Happy Anniversary
24:45and things like that.
24:46Allison,
24:46tell us a little bit
24:47about your team,
24:47please.
24:48Well,
24:48I do an act
24:50that is coming up
24:51real soon,
24:51an important day,
24:52Valentine's Day.
24:53I wear red satin hearts
24:54and sing Happy Valentine's Day songs.
24:57Ron is what is known
24:57as a classic bellhop.
24:59And Arlene is
25:00Rita the Meter Maid.
25:02Rita the Meter Maid?
25:04Yes,
25:04you better not ask me.
25:06I do not intend to ask.
25:07I know when I'm well off.
25:09In just a moment,
25:10we'll give you
25:10a chance to meet
25:11our champions.
25:11But right now,
25:12we're going to pause
25:13because at this point,
25:14the Meter Maid says,
25:15we've got to do it
25:15to merge.
25:16But we will.
25:28You know what you get
25:29when you combine
25:30Bill Blass'
25:31washable designs
25:32with Woolite?
25:33Fashions that are
25:34easy to wear,
25:35easy to care for.
25:36I'm Bill Blass.
25:37And for me,
25:39Woolite's the way
25:39to help keep
25:40my washable designs
25:41looking beautiful.
25:42Woolite's so safe
25:43and gentle.
25:44Helps keep that
25:44spatial fit.
25:46And doesn't fade
25:46lovely colors like these.
25:48So whether it's
25:48my washable designs
25:50or even someone else's,
25:51I trust Woolite.
25:52So can you.
25:54When my daughter
25:55drew this picture of me
25:56with my teeth
25:56colored yellow
25:57from smoking,
25:58I got the message
25:59and I got the Topal
26:00Smoker's Tooth Polish.
26:01When smoke
26:01from just one cigarette
26:03leaves an ugly
26:03yellow stain like this,
26:05think what smoking
26:06a pack a day
26:06every day could do
26:07to your teeth.
26:08Topal Smoker's Tooth Polish
26:10helps remove ugly
26:11yellow tobacco stains.
26:12It brightens
26:13Smoker's teeth.
26:14Look, Mom,
26:15a new picture
26:16without yellow teeth.
26:17With results like that,
26:18I don't mind
26:19spending more for Topal.
26:20Topal Smoker's Tooth Polish
26:22and new Topal Gel.
26:25It's been a rather
26:26exciting day.
26:27We've met our
26:28singing telegram singers
26:29and, of course,
26:30our mothers of twins
26:31have gotten up
26:31and tried for the jackpot.
26:33They didn't win it,
26:33but you did win
26:34$1,000 for the game.
26:35And as I say,
26:36the nice thing,
26:36every time you get up there,
26:37if you should win again,
26:38we had $5,000.
26:39So if you get up there next,
26:40you'll be going for $10,000.
26:42Of course,
26:43singers,
26:43you'll be going for $5,000
26:44because it's your first crack.
26:46So it's been a good day
26:48for another reason.
26:49Our very nice waitresses,
26:50and we all enjoyed so much,
26:51left us with $24,500.
26:54What a nice way to win it.
