00:30And $50,000 in cash.
00:34In total, over $100,000 on Sale of the Century.
00:44And now, here is the star of our show, Jim Carrey.
00:51Hello there. Thank you.
00:54Nice to have you with us.
00:55Delighted to have you join us for Sale of the Century and our great champion, over $30,000 in cash and prizes, Crystal Miller.
01:02Hi, Crystal.
01:02Hi, Jim. How are you?
01:03I'm fine.
01:04Great.
01:05Now, you have knocked some great prizes off that winner's board.
01:08There's some more.
01:08And I'll tell you, there are four left, and they're all of interest to you.
01:11Beautiful fur coat. I know you said you liked.
01:13I love it.
01:14There is gold and diamond earrings, and the other two, $10,000 in cash and that luxury automobile.
01:21Right.
01:22That's all that's left up there for you.
01:23Are you ready?
01:24I'm ready. I'm ready.
01:25Good luck.
01:25Here to introduce the challenger is Summer Bartholomew.
01:28Hello, Summer.
01:29How are you?
01:30Got some good players for us today, I trust?
01:32I sure do.
01:34He believes that all the world is a stage.
01:36Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, meet Will Van de Kerkhoff.
01:40Hello there, Will.
01:41And she put on a happy face from Los Angeles, California.
01:45Say hi to Martha Hanley.
01:46Hello there, Martha.
01:47Hi.
01:47Summer, we'll see you later with some bargains.
01:50Martha, well, that's always nice, but why would they say you put on a happy face?
01:54Well, because when I decided I really wanted to get married, I decided I was going to smile
01:58first at the next man that I liked.
02:00And that same day, I went to a car wash.
02:02I smiled first, and I met my husband.
02:04Oh.
02:05There's a lesson there someplace.
02:07Nice to have you here with us, Martha.
02:09Will, you believe all the world's a stage?
02:11What does Summer mean by that?
02:12Yes, Jim, I have those acting aspirations.
02:16And recently, I've also got to do a lot of directing, some of my own material stuff,
02:20my own original material.
02:21Writing, directing, acting, the whole thing.
02:23Acting is your main ambition, it sounds like, though, huh?
02:25Yes, sir.
02:25Well, good luck with that, and good luck here.
02:27Nice to have all three of you here.
02:28$20 starts you off.
02:29We'll get into the match with this.
02:30Name either of the two comic actresses who played the title roles in Laverne and Shirley.
02:35Crystal.
02:35Cindy Williams.
02:38Well, I've got to check with our judge on that.
02:40No, I'm sorry.
02:41You take your first answer, and you mixed them up.
02:43You said Cindy Marshall.
02:44It is Penny Marshall or Cindy Williams.
02:47I'm sorry.
02:47We had to take the first answer.
02:48Judge ruled against you.
02:49You lose five for the incorrect answer.
02:50Down to 15.
02:52A vegetable, a card game, or a liquor.
02:55What is euchre?
02:56Will.
02:56It's a card game.
02:57I thought it was a sportscaster.
02:58Yeah, you're right.
02:59Card game it is, and $5 for Will.
03:01He goes to $25.
03:02Who would you expect to see driving a prowl car?
03:05Crystal.
03:06A policeman.
03:06Policeman is right, and Crystal gets a five-ranked back to the $20 mark.
03:10According to Ben Franklin, what makes a man healthy, wealthy, Crystal?
03:13Early to bed, early to rise.
03:14That's what makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
03:16You are right, and Crystal ties Will for first place.
03:18You can coddle me, beat me, whip me, Crystal.
03:22Eggs.
03:22Yes, or scramble me, and I'm also a good sunny side up.
03:25Eggs is right.
03:26Crystal goes into the lead.
03:29Great time to go into the lead.
03:30Time for an instant bargain.
03:31Player in the lead can buy bargain merchandise.
03:34Crystal, a slender $5 lead, but the lead nonetheless, and the opportunity to buy...
03:38Oh, Crystal, you'll love this.
03:41Crystal, enjoy this sweet life with a little help from Dessert of the Month.
03:46A scrumptiously different dessert will arrive monthly at your home, made to serve $12 and
03:52delivered in a reusable designer tin, furnished by Dessert of the Month, and it's normally
03:57priced at $236, but today on Sale of the Century, it's yours for only $5.
04:04Now, Crystal.
04:06I do love sweets, Jim.
04:07I've got to tell you, now, that's a great bargain, and it's too...
04:10I've got a couple of friend cameramen sitting over here.
04:13First, they're saying, tough sale, then they said, give him some money for food.
04:17Would you guys stop on...
04:18$236 for five.
04:21Sounds delicious.
04:21You would be in a tie.
04:23I have got to keep peace with my cameramen.
04:26I'll give you some money to go food with the desserts.
04:28I will give you $200 in cash.
04:31I think I've got it here someplace.
04:32Yes, I do.
04:33So, Dessert of the Month, $200 in cash.
04:36For just $5, you'd be in a tie with Will going once, going twice, and no sale.
04:43If the cameramen had said, throw in some money for wine, too, well, never mind.
04:47She didn't want to...
04:48Hang it on in the lead.
04:50What's the occupation of TV personalities, Jimmy Swagger, or...
04:53Will?
04:55Evangelist.
04:55Evangelist or ministers, yes, indeed.
04:57And Will ties Crystal at 30.
04:59In England, you tune in your radio to the BBC.
05:02Crystal?
05:02The British Broadcasting Company.
05:04No, I'm sorry.
05:05We can't...
05:06No, it's British Broadcasting Corporation.
05:08It's a title.
05:08You had to have it right.
05:09Sorry about that, Crystal.
05:10You lose five...
05:10Oh, you've been so close on a couple.
05:12And you're down trailing Will now by one question.
05:15According to the title of the literary classic, there are how many Arabian Nights?
05:18Will?
05:19101?
05:20No.
05:21You were close that time.
05:22A thousand and one Arabian Nights.
05:25See, if you had written that, Will, I wouldn't have it.
05:27You lose five, you tie Crystal.
05:29Well, $5 separate the players and the fame game.
05:32$10 money card on the board.
05:33We're looking for a famous person.
05:34A lot of information about it.
05:35I was born in California in 1883 with the first name Leroy.
05:40When I was age 20, I added my more familiar first name.
05:44I grew up to become a cartoonist and author whose work now appears in more than 300 newspapers
05:49and also a television show.
05:51I began with sports oddities, but my cartoon...
05:54Crystal?
05:56Ripley's Believe It or Not.
05:57Ripley is exactly right in the Believe It or Not.
05:59That's it.
05:59Robert L. Ripley to do that.
06:02Crystal gets control of the board.
06:04$10 money card is where?
06:05Behind the one.
06:06And if you can stop those flashy lights on the $10, we'll add that to your score.
06:09Crystal, you're in a tie right now.
06:10Good luck.
06:11He's at $10.
06:12Oh, you missed the $10.
06:13What did she get behind number seven?
06:15A dishwasher.
06:17KitchenAid's Imperial Portableness Washer converts to a built-in when remodeling or building.
06:22Special soak cycle, energy saver, hardwood cutting board top.
06:26Bernice by KitchenAid.
06:28That's terrific.
06:28You're setting up housekeeping.
06:30Yeah.
06:30You got a washer dryer before.
06:32Now you've got a dishwasher worth well over $600.
06:34So that's a nice thing to pick up.
06:36Good close game.
06:37Back to it right after this commercial time-up.
06:43Very close game with Will and the champion Crystal at 25.
06:46And Martha, just a question behind at 20.
06:48What word is used for garden flowers that normally live for only one year?
06:52Crystal.
06:52Annual.
06:53Annual is right.
06:54Champion goes into the lead.
06:55According to the classic song, be it ever so humble, Will.
06:58There's no place like home.
07:00You got...
07:00Sounds like you wrote that.
07:01You're right, Will.
07:01And you tie Crystal at 30.
07:03In New York, what are you calling it to hail a...
07:05Will?
07:07A taxi?
07:08I was going to say hack, but you got it from hail.
07:10You're right.
07:11Taxi it is.
07:12And you got another five.
07:14According to the old expression, what is nine points of the law?
07:17Crystal.
07:17Possession.
07:18Possession is right.
07:18And again, a tie with Will.
07:20Instant bargain now with a tie.
07:23Will and Crystal, only one of you can have this when you hear the low sale of the century price.
07:27Hit your buzzer for one of you.
07:29This is yours.
07:31Will or Crystal, we're betting you'll set your heart on this lovely piece of art.
07:37A charming silk screen entitled Valentine's Day by Jean Curry Clark.
07:42It recalls the heartfelt holiday at the turn of the century from Steve Stein Gallery.
07:47And it's normally priced at $500.
07:50But today on Sale of the Century, it's yours for only $10.
07:54Oh, that's beautiful.
07:55Beautiful.
07:56Lovely signed artwork for $10.
07:59And I don't...
08:00Neither one of you hitting the buzzer.
08:02$500 for nine.
08:04Eight.
08:05Oh, Will's getting a little closer to his button now.
08:07Okay.
08:08Seven.
08:10One question.
08:11Five bucks.
08:11Going.
08:12Going.
08:13No sale for five.
08:17They want to stay in that...
08:18She's tough.
08:19But you had a chance to buy something.
08:21Well, your decision.
08:22No wonder this bird can't fly.
08:23It can weigh more than 300 pounds.
08:25Crystal.
08:26An ostrich.
08:26Making it the world's largest bird.
08:28Ostrich it is.
08:28Crystal goes into the lead.
08:30You can find this editor and publisher frolicking with his bunnies.
08:33That is...
08:34Will.
08:34Hugh Hefner.
08:35That's right.
08:35Hugh Hefner it is.
08:37And Will again is Crystal in a tie.
08:39In what American city would a student prepare for a career in foreign service?
08:42By attending Martha.
08:44Georgetown University.
08:45More please.
08:45In Washington, D.C.
08:46That's right.
08:47Georgetown.
08:47I was going to give you the city of Washington.
08:49You gave me more than I needed.
08:50You're right.
08:51And five going to 25.
08:52What kind of electricity makes your hair stand up?
08:55Crystal?
08:55Static.
08:56Static electricity.
08:57And Crystal beats Will with a buzzer.
08:58Goes to 45.
09:00John Davidson, Bill Cosby, and Joan Rivers have all guest hosted.
09:03Will.
09:03The Tonight Show.
09:04The Tonight Show.
09:05Starring Johnny Carson.
09:06You are right.
09:06And Will.
09:07You got another five.
09:08You tied Crystal.
09:09I mentioned Carson with The Tonight Show because Carson enjoys telling how once on The Tonight
09:14Show, the president of the American Heart Association came on and nervously began his speech with
09:19his back to the camera.
09:21Doctor, it's National Heart Month, Carson said gently as he turned him around.
09:25We have the wrong part of the anatomy.
09:28Paul, could you bring...
09:32Thank you, Paul.
09:39We'll be right back after this commercial timeout.
09:47Will and Crystal bouncing around all day.
09:49They are in a tie.
09:50And Martha just four questions behind.
09:52Back to the fame game and another money card.
09:54$15 worth going up there.
09:56Looking for a famous thing.
09:58I was invented in 1979.
10:01My creators sold stock in me that will make millionaires of people who invested as little
10:05as $2,000.
10:06I was first offered to the two biggest American game companies, Milton Bradley and Parker
10:11Brooks.
10:12Crystal.
10:12Trivial Pursuit.
10:13Trivial Pursuit is right.
10:14Yes, indeed.
10:15Very, very successful game.
10:17Crystal, where is that $15 money card, Summer?
10:19Behind the nine.
10:20And that's up there for Crystal.
10:22Two of them.
10:22One in opposite corners.
10:23Good luck, Crystal.
10:24I need that $15.
10:25Oh, she hits it.
10:27And a close track for champion hits a $15 money card.
10:30And we add back to her score, she vaults into a three-question lead over Will.
10:35Back with this.
10:37In 1968, this Alabama governor was the presidential, Will.
10:40George Wallace.
10:41Nominee of the American Independent Party.
10:43It is indeed George Wallace and Will goes to 50.
10:45From the French, it means a fall of snow or rock down a mountainside.
10:49Crystal.
10:50Avalanche.
10:50Avalanche is right.
10:51Crystal to 65.
10:53In what exciting film did Burt Reynolds take a nightmarish canoe trip?
10:57Will?
10:57Deliverance.
10:58Deliverance is right.
10:58Will to 55.
11:00But Crystal, you've got a $10 lead.
11:03Crystal, you were not interested in the dessert of the month.
11:06How about something a little more down home and exotic?
11:09Look at this.
11:10Uh-oh.
11:11Crystal, you owe it to yourself to have a night to remember.
11:15You and a guest will be chauffeured in a gleaming rolls to dinner at the Bel Air Hotel.
11:20A violinist will serenade you as you enjoy the luxury of a sparkling evening.
11:26Furnished by exciting events.
11:28This night to remember is normally priced at $1,000.
11:32But today on Sale of the Century, it's yours for only $15.
11:37Now.
11:38You're tempting me again, Jim.
11:40I mean, that is really a night on the town.
11:43That is sensational.
11:44They'll pick you up in the rolls, the strolling musician, beautiful dinner at the Bel Air Hotel.
11:51We promise it won't be one of these TV dinners they put on the good plate.
11:56Oh, it looks so good.
11:58I love that.
11:59I mean, if you're going to really do it, you're moving to Austin, Texas.
12:02You can just leave.
12:03Have a night before you leave.
12:05Have a big night out.
12:06$1,000 night out.
12:07How often do you get a chance to do something like that?
12:09Not often.
12:09I tell you.
12:10And you've got a $10 lead, so I will lop a third off that price.
12:14You want that sensational night of a lifetime.
12:16It'll cost you just $10.
12:18You'd be in a tie with Will.
12:19Going once.
12:20Going twice.
12:22And no sale.
12:25No.
12:26This does not want to buy.
12:27Not with $10,000 in cash and a car being two of the prizes left up on the board.
12:31We'll be back.
12:32Though we might check today, Jason.
12:45On our check, in closing in on a couple of big things, did not want to do any buying along the way.
12:49She wanted that $10 lead that she's got over Will, and we're back with this.
12:53The United States is divided into 50 states.
12:56Canada is divided into 10 what?
12:57Crystal.
12:58Provinces.
12:58Provinces is right.
12:59Nicely solved.
13:00Crystal goes to 70.
13:01Considered by historians as one of our most successful presidents, this Democrat led the U.S. through World War I.
13:08Martha.
13:08Woodrow Wilson.
13:09Woodrow Wilson is exactly right.
13:10Martha, the 30.
13:11The hit musical West Side Story tells of the trouble between two rival, Crystal.
13:16The Sharks and the Jets.
13:16You've got them both, and you've got another five, and Crystal goes to 75.
13:19Yeah.
13:21But it's a $20 lead over Will right now and a $25 money card going up on that board.
13:25A famous person.
13:27I am the title character of a book of the Old Testament.
13:31I am a young man of royal descent who was captured by a king and refused to eat food considered impure by Jewish law.
13:37When I interpreted a dream for King Nebuchadnezzar, Will?
13:42Daniel?
13:42Yes, indeed.
13:43That's who it is.
13:44Very nicely solved.
13:46Didn't even need a lion's den.
13:47Good job on that.
13:49The man knew his old testament and he's got control.
13:51Where's that $25?
13:52Behind the six.
13:53Well, if you can hit that 25, Will, you would go into the lead.
13:56We're locked into your buzzer now.
13:58Good luck.
13:58We're talking big bucks here.
14:00Oh, he lands on number three.
14:04What are we talking?
14:06Vacuums.
14:06Royal vacuums.
14:08Including the Handy Prince handheld portable.
14:10Features metal construction and revolving brush just like the big ones for quick, easy cleaning most anywhere.
14:16Furnished by Royal Appliances.
14:19Yes, indeed.
14:20We weren't talking big bucks, we were talking big sucks.
14:25That is a great vacuum.
14:26Almost $400.
14:29I'm really cleaning up here today, Danny.
14:33Now we finish up the game with a speed round.
14:36May I have 60 seconds on the clock, please?
14:38Crystal at 75.
14:39Will at 55.
14:40Martha at 30.
14:41Good luck.
14:42We start the speed round now.

14:49Annapolis.

14:50What chemical has added to water to help prevent tooth to get...
14:52Crystal.
14:53Fluoride.
14:53Right.
14:54According to the adage, a word to the wise will...
14:57Sorry.
14:57Wrong.
14:58Name the sitcom in which Judd Hirsch drove a...
15:00Crystal.
15:01Taxi.
15:01Right.
15:02The woman's division of what sport is dominated by Martina...
15:05Will.
15:05Tennis.
15:06Right.
15:06In the 70s, what infamous terrorist group kidnapped Patty Hearst?
15:09Crystal.
15:09The SLA.
15:10Right.
15:11What kind of musical instrument is a Stradivarius?
15:13Will.
15:13It's a violin.
15:14Right.
15:14In legend, who were the twin boys who founded Rome?
15:16Crystal.

15:38Who?
15:38Jesus.
15:39Right.
15:39Whose book is considered the authority of rules of card games?
15:42Who?
15:43Hoyle.
15:44Right.
15:45Right before the bell was out.
15:46And time is up.
15:47And Crystal, you have won it by 15.
15:51Congratulations.
15:51Congratulations.
15:52And it turns out that that $15 money card you hit up on the board, Crystal, was
15:59the difference, otherwise we would have had a tie.
16:01She was pushed all day by Will.
16:03We congratulate both of you.
16:04Fine, fine match.
16:05And Martha, as well.
16:06I know you had the knowledge, Martha.
16:07They were just jumping in there.
16:08Let's wrap it up.
16:09Cape Wrangell, the westernmost point in the U.S., if you thought about it for a moment,
16:12it's located in the state of Alaska.
16:15And the TV show, you jumped in quick.
16:16Raymond Byrd delivered most of his lines from a wheelchair.
16:19And you know it's Ironside.
16:21A word to the wise is sufficient.
16:24Gotta say goodbye to Martha and Will.
16:26And Martha, we thank you for a very well-played game.
16:28I hope you had a good time.
16:29Yes, I did.
16:30Thank you for joining us.
