00:01From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.
00:07It's Kic-Tac-Toe!
00:09And now, here's our host, Greek Punch Man!
00:21Oh, thank you very much. Thank you, Jay Stewart.
00:24Here's our champion. Is he doing well or is he doing well for himself?
00:27You're going to find out right now as we talk to him. Come on out here.
00:31Our current champion whose winnings total in cash and prizes $38,800
00:36is a college professor who enjoys competitive running.
00:39Meet Dr. Alan Lichtman.
00:47Alan, welcome back to our show.
00:48Thank you. Alan so far has won $38,800 in cash and prizes.
00:53Alan, when you knew that you were going to eventually be a contestant on Tic-Tac-Toe,
00:58is there anything that a person like you or any contestant, but especially you since you are our current champion,
01:03does to prepare for your appearance?
01:05Well, being an academic and having taken and given a lot of tests, I approached it like a test and I studied.
01:10Like using source books?
01:12Reference books.
01:13Reference books.
01:14What kind? I'm just curious because I was wondering myself once if I would do that if I were a contestant.
01:19Well, general books like the World Almanac and the Book of Who,
01:22and then I took books out on things such as classical music, country music, rock music,
01:27things I needed to brush up on for names of people and groups and organizations.
01:31Have you found thus far that any of those brush up jobs you talk about, have they helped you any at all?
01:35I'll tell you, I would never have known Poland without that brush up on Chopin.
01:38Well, good luck, Alan. I wish you good luck.
01:40Last time you just won a match and we didn't have time to go try to beat the Dragon.
01:43You ready for that now?
01:44I'm ready.
01:45Hello, Dragon. Goodbye, Dragon. Come on over, Alan.
01:48Let's do it the easy way this time, all right?
01:51Okay.
01:52By the way, if you defeat one more opponent while you're going to win your second card,
01:56we'll talk about that shortly.
01:57Behind the numbers here on the big board are various amounts of money,
02:00a tick, a tack, and the dragon.
02:02Get to $1,000 or more or get the tick and the tack and you'll win a nice prize package,
02:05which brings me around to saying this.
02:07Alan, if you think you've heard everything, lend an ear to the two musical gifts in this next package
02:11described by Sir J. Stewart.
02:13First, Alan, if you have that disco beat pulsing through your veins,
02:17keep it pulsing through your home with this fabulous disco jukebox.
02:21The disco jukebox from Morse Electrophonic,
02:23a stereo music center with multicolor disco lights that flash to the meat of the music,
02:28complete with AM, FM stereo, automatic record changer,
02:30and eight-track tape player from Morse Electrophonic.
02:33And then, Alan, if you want to make your own music to keep in harmony with your medley of musical moods,
02:38we have a gift worth over $2,500, this beautiful new electric organ.
02:45Werletzer's digital music system organ that combines the beauty of rich heritage fruit wood
02:50with clean traditional styling and advanced state-of-the-art digital electronic technology.
02:55An elegant musical addition to your special lifestyle, furnished by Werletzer.
03:00And, Alan, this musical package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $3,950.
03:06$3,900 big ones. Aboard the braggling, you lose everything, Alan.
03:09You know that. If you take an attack, you automatically get to keep the money.
03:12Let's cover them up, move them around now, and we'll begin.
03:14I see you have your wife, your daughter, and your brother from Brooklyn, who has done very well.
03:19The Bronx. The Bronx! Oh, my God. I just committed a cardinal crime, didn't I?
03:22Geez, really. You sure did. Are you going to go back to him or what?
03:24You know it. All right. What's it going to be, big Bronx bomber?
03:26Number eight. Number eight. Is that one you want to go with?
03:30All right. Number eight. What do you have for him? $150.
03:33That's exactly the way you started last time with $150, and you won.
03:36Number five. Number five in the center box to go with $150.
03:40Good lucky five. Yeah. Five for five big ones. You got $650.
03:45$350. Number two, little deuce, as he rings them up vertically,
03:50let's see if this means a win for him. Yes, you got it.
03:55What a great job of manipulating the dragon on this board.
04:02Let's look at the rest of the board. Where was the dragon?
04:04One, three, four, six, seven, eight. Behind this time, number three.
04:07The first five times you were here, as you may recall, you lost.
04:11And what is this, four times in a row? Four in a row.
04:13Four in a row you've won. That takes your total winnings now.
04:16This is sounding better and better, Alan. Take a look at that total.
04:20In fact, why don't you give the total? See it right over there?
04:22How much have you won so far?
04:24$42,800, and I don't believe it.
04:27Well, it's true. It's all yours, and that's not all.
04:30If Alan defeats his next opponent, he'll win his second brand new car.
04:35We'll be back in a moment to see if he can do it.
04:38And you've won one already to defeat your next opponent and win number two.
04:45Tell him about it, Jay.
04:46You know, but this time you'll win another brand new car.
04:49Good luck, Alan, and you rest with your second automobile
04:53as we meet the person who stands between you and that car.
04:57Jay, if you will, please.
04:58She is a telephone operator whose interests include the theater and movies.
05:03Meet Kathy Holt.
05:09Kathy, welcome to our show.
05:10Where do you work as a phone operator?
05:12Right now I work at the Los Angeles Times, but I was an overseas operator previously.
05:16Does that mean you call all over the world?
05:18Yes.
05:19That must be a lot of fun.
05:20Oh, it was. I talked to several celebrities when I was doing that.
05:22For example, give me an idea.
05:23Oh, Barbra Streisand, Muhammad Ali.
05:26In fact, one time I talked to Mastriani.
05:28Oh.
05:29Oh.
05:30And when I talked to him, I almost died, but my supervisor plugged in on me,
05:33so I couldn't do anything.
05:34So that ended that conversation in a hurry, right?
05:36Yeah, sure did.
05:37Well, I hope you're cool, calm, and collected right now, because it's time to play Tic-Tac-Doe.
05:41And if you win, perhaps I'll give you the opportunity to talk to me on the telephone.
05:45Oh, boy, wouldn't that?
05:46It's a critical game, Alan.
05:47A car is at stake for you.
05:48Alan, Kathy, take a look at the board.
05:50Our subjects for this game are women in songs, royalty, where are you, television stars,
05:57astronomy, comic strips, Dan's and Don, second jobs, and ships.
06:02There they are, Alan, all laid out on the board.
06:03Where do you start?
06:04I'll try the center on astronomy.
06:06All right, we're $300 to the pot, Alan.
06:08Ancient astronomers named constellations for pictures they appeared to form in the sky.
06:13I'll name two constellations, and you tell me the animal they appear to represent.
06:18One, Canis Major.
06:21Two, Ursa Major.
06:23Here's your extra time.
06:24Talking about the astronomers of ancient times who named constellations for pictures they appeared to form in the sky.
06:39Again, I'll name two constellations.
06:41You tell me the animal they appear to represent.
06:43Alan, first, Canis Major.
06:45Dog.
06:46Right.
06:47Ursa Major.
06:48Bear.
06:49Right.
06:50You got the center box.
06:51Canis Major, the great dog.
06:52Ursa Major, the great bear.
06:54In the center box, an X, and $300 in the pot.
06:57Let's shuffle the categories, and it'll be Kathy Holmes' first chance at the board.
07:01Oh, I'll take the middle, excuse me, the bottom center for TV stars.
07:06TV stars.
07:07All right.
07:08Her first question and her quest to become the champion.
07:10Take a look at this picture.
07:11Kathy, he's a controversial sports commentator and television personality.
07:15For your first O, what's his name?
07:17Howard Cosell.
07:18How could you miss it?
07:19You're right.
07:20Howard Cosell.
07:21Everybody knows him.
07:22Not everybody likes him, but a lot of people do.
07:24And I do.
07:25We put an O there.
07:26Let's move the categories.
07:27$500 in the pot.
07:29Howard's just a little controversial, that's all.
07:31Alan, where do you move?
07:32Well, it was good to me once.
07:35No.
07:36I'll try astronomy.
07:37Astronomy again.
07:38Boy.
07:39In 1973, a heavenly body named Kohutek made a close approach to our sun.
07:46What type of object was Kohutek?
07:49It was a comet.
07:50Yes!
07:51That is correct.
07:52Kohutek, a comet.
07:53We put an X on the board in the box on astronomy and shuffle again.
07:57$700 in a mounting pot.
07:59Kathy, let's see if you can add to that by about another couple of hundred.
08:03Oh, well, I'm not too sure about it, but I'll block with women in songs.
08:06Women in songs.
08:07You need this for a diagonal block, Kathy.
08:09This novelty song tells of the vamp of Savannah, the meanest gal in town.
08:15The song says she'd even pour water on a drowning man.
08:19For a block, name this hard-hearted lady.
08:24No coaching pleas from the audience.
08:27I did hear that.
08:28You heard that?
08:29All right.
08:30I'm going to throw that out, and I'm going to give her another opportunity at a question in the category,
08:34women in song, because I heard it, and she said honestly that she heard it.
08:38The answer, Hannah, hard-hearted Hannah.
08:40So we throw that away, and Alan, I'm sure you'll agree that she does deserve a second shot.
08:44I heard it, too.
08:45All right, Kathy.
08:46Here's your next question on women in song, and please, ladies and gentlemen, no help from the audience.
08:50In 1966, a song called Eleanor Rigby told the sad story of a woman who cleans up a church.
08:57The song was a big hit for a popular British group.
09:00Name the group, and you'll have a diagonal block.
09:02My favorite group, the Beatles.
09:04The Beatles.
09:05He got that one, and that's right, for a block.
09:07Put an O there.
09:08That's a lot of people's favorite group.
09:10Let's move the categories around.
09:11$900 in the pot.
09:13Alan, your turn again.
09:14Well, it was good to me twice.
09:16I will block with astronomy.
09:17You're going to do it again, all right?
09:18Astronomy.
09:19He's done it every time.
09:20He's got it right every time.
09:21Alan, for a block, the second planet from the sun is nearly the same size as our planet,
09:27and is sometimes called Earth's twin.
09:29Once thought to be full of steaming jungles, it is now known to be hot and lifeless.
09:34For a block, name it.
09:35Venus.
09:36Yes, that's correct.
09:37Venus, the planet.
09:38Good for a block of Kathy.
09:40Put an X there.
09:41Four boxes remain, and we have a hot match underway with $1,100 in the pot.
09:46Let's shuffle them.
09:48Kathy, second jobs, Dan's and Don's royalty and television stars.
09:52What's your pleasure?
09:53Well, the only option I have is second jobs.
09:56Second jobs, all right, for a diagonal block.
09:59Answer this, and you'll block him diagonally anyway, Kathy.
10:02This man sailed with both the Navy and the Merchant Marines before becoming a Broadway actor.
10:07Later, he starred in the television series Stoney Burke and Hawaii Five-0.
10:12To block Alan, name him.
10:14Jack Lord.
10:15Right.
10:16Fine after he lives in Hawaii, Jack Lord.
10:18We put an O there, good for a diagonal block, $1,300 pot, and three boxes left.
10:23Let's see what's going to happen as we shuffle.
10:26Ships, where are you and astronomy, Alan?
10:28Once again, I will go for the win with astronomy.
10:31This match has seen you select astronomy every time, hasn't it?
10:36You've been working on that one category.
10:38However, Alan, little different situation this time, because if you answer this question on astronomy, you will indeed have tic-tac-toe.
10:45That would be your tenth win.
10:47You would win $1,500 in cash.
10:50You would win your second automobile, and that would bring your grand total in winnings, cash, and prizes to $49,700.
11:01Alan, here's the question on astronomy for tic-tac-toe.
11:05In our solar system, the closest planet to the sun takes just 88 days to complete its orbit.
11:15For your second car and a total of $49,700, name this planet.
11:22Mercury!
11:23You win!
11:38So, Alan, congratulations, and please do us the honor of introducing the lady who just joined you from the audience.
11:44This is my wife, Sheila.
11:45Hello, Sheila.
11:46Hi.
11:47I know that, and Alan knows that, but I wanted the people at home who have already seen you in the audience to see what it looks like to have Sheila standing there behind that podium,
11:54which always means, on this show, championship status.
11:57Alan, how you feel?
11:58Four astronomy questions.
12:00I can't believe it.
12:01Yeah, four in a row, and you got them all right, and you have now won your second car, your tenth game of tic-tac-toe, a total of $49,000.
12:07Well, let me put it this way.
12:08You are only $300 short of hitting the $50,000 mark, and you know what that means.
12:13Here are the details on your new car.
12:15Jay?
12:16I'll tell you it's for your driving pleasure, and you know it's from Schoenlaw Chevrolet.
12:21It's this brand-new Chevy Chevette two-door coach, compliments of tic-tac-toe.
12:27Back to you, Rick.
12:29Thank you, Jay Stewart.
12:30Again, Alan, congratulations.
12:32Sheila, congratulations to you, and to Kathy over there.
12:35Kathy, they're over there, smiling, and they're happy about all this.
12:38You didn't win, but I want to tell you that it was a delight having you with us on the show.
12:42It was nice meeting you, too.
12:43And if you ever, would you give me a call if you ever talked to anybody like, oh, maybe the gal who played 10.
12:48What's her name?
12:49Yeah, Bo Derrick.
12:50Give me a buzz if you ever talked to her.
12:52Tell me what it was like.
12:53Kathy, thank you for being with us.
12:55We have a couple parting gifts for you.
12:56Probably won't be exciting to her.
12:57It would have been me.
12:58We'll be back for our bonus game with Alan and his wife, Sheila, in just a moment.
13:01I have this microphone in my hand.
13:06That means one thing and one thing only.
13:08Sheila and Alan are going to join me to try to beat the dragon as a team.
13:11Come on over.
13:12Hello there, lovely lady.
13:19Nice to see you.
13:20Poor man's Richard Dawson here doing all this kissing.
13:22Hey, stand right up there, and let me tell you why we're here.
13:25You have any idea?
13:26You know why we're here.
13:27Hey, listen, Sheila, Alan, you know that birds fly south for the winter, right?
13:31I mean, we learn that when we're this tall.
13:33Well, this next prize package that Jay Stewart's going to tell you about will give you two good reasons, not one, but two, to go south any time of the year.
13:40Jay?
13:41First, Alan, going south means warm weather and cool beaches, which is exactly what you'll find when we send you off for the southern sun of beautiful Florida.
13:49Yes, we'll fly you to Miami Beach, Florida, one of the leading tourist spots in the nation.
13:54The land of swaying palm trees and warm ocean breezes attracts visitors the year round.
13:58You'll have a glorious week at The Diplomat in Hollywood, Florida, minutes from Miami.
14:02Enjoy every sport facility, fabulous gourmet cuisine, and evenings with star-studded entertainment.
14:07It's the world-famous Diplomat Resort.
14:09And you'll have a round-trip flying holiday via Western Airlines spaceship to Miami, Florida.
14:14Dig way to the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
14:17Enjoy warm hospitality and delicious cuisine the Western way.
14:20Western Airlines, the only way to fly.
14:23But, Alan, the southern sun hasn't set yet because we're going to give you the opportunity to deepen that new suntan
14:29when we send you further south to the beautiful city of San Juan in exciting Puerto Rico.
14:36It's a heavy tropical island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
14:41Its magnificent beaches, brilliant sunshine year-round, and exotic island charm attract tourists from around the world.
14:47You'll have a six-night vacation at El San Juan Resort Center, Puerto Rico.
14:51Three hotels, tennis, beach pools, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, entertainment, disco.
14:57More of everything than anywhere in the Caribbean, Alan.
15:00And this southern package is worth in cash and prizes over $3,950.
15:06All right, win the bonus game and break the $50,000 mark, you two.
15:13Let's try real hard.
15:14You've won four in a row.
15:15He beat you five straight, now four.
15:17Let's make it five and even it up at 500, all right?
15:20Okay, the dragon's jumping around.
15:21Nine numbers are going to appear on the board.
15:23Are you going to go with Sheila's selection?
15:25Are you going to go with your own selection?
15:26Are you going to go to Steve, your brother?
15:28The Bronx Bomber.
15:29All right, Bronx Bomber.
15:30Hold it up.
15:31Let's get it going.
15:32Number six.
15:33All right, number six.
15:34What do you have in store for Alan and Sheila?
15:36$300.
15:37Sheila, you want to go back there?
15:40All right.
15:41What do you think it is, Steve?
15:42Number three it is.
15:43All right, above 300.
15:44Maybe it'll be number three.
15:45Maybe five.
15:46Anything but the dragon.
15:47250.
15:48You need 450 more.
15:50Steve, you have never gone wrong yet.
15:52Number one.
15:53All right, number one.
15:54You need $450 and maybe it is here.
15:57Is it?
15:58100.
15:59All right, you got 650.
16:00You need 350 more.
16:01Number four.
16:02Number four.
16:03Number four it is.
16:04All right.
16:05Let's see if you can find it.
16:06$350 behind four.
16:07Is it yes or no?
16:08Tack.
16:09All right.
16:10Do you now need tick or 350?
16:11What's he saying, Steve?
16:12Number five.
16:13He says five.
16:14Number five.
16:15All righty.
16:16Number five in the center.
16:17350 or tick?
16:18Do we have it behind five?
16:19150.
16:20Getting closer.
16:21All right, you got eight.
16:22You need $200 or tick.
16:23I'm going to stop.
16:24Are you going to stop?
16:25Yeah.
16:26You don't want to go any further.
16:27All right.
16:28Did Steve tell you to stop?
16:29Yeah.
16:30They're going to take the $800, but just for fun, just for fun.
16:33Steve, if you had called out another number, which one would you have said?
16:37Let's see if they would have gone on that trip.
16:40Did you say seven?
16:41All right.
16:42What was behind number seven?
16:43500.
16:44It would have given you the win, but you stopped.
16:45You played it safe.
16:46Nothing's in jeopardy because you got the $800, but you didn't get that trip.
16:49That would have been nice.
16:50Let's look behind two, eight, and nine.
16:51The dragon would have been behind number two.
16:53Right, Steve?
16:54Steve knew that.
16:55Of course they did.
16:56All right.
16:57Now, you've broken the...
16:58Well, have you?
16:59Yeah.
17:00You've broken the $50,000.
17:01That's all you wanted to do.
17:02All right.
17:03But you have broken the $50,000 mark.
17:05You are fast becoming one of our big winners.
17:07$50,500 in cash and prizes with the $800 you just picked up.
17:13Congratulations again.
17:15Okay.
17:16Sheila, you go back out to your seat now, and we'll perhaps see you a little later if this guy keeps winning.
17:20Let's meet a new person and get a new match underway, all right?
17:23I'm ready.
17:24All right.
17:25Get back over there.
17:26I'll ask Jay Stewart, if you will, to take a moment to introduce a new player for a new match.
17:29Who do we have, Jay?
17:30Wink from Boulder, Colorado.
17:32He's a restaurant supervisor whose interests include mountain climbing and glider flying.
17:37Meet Jim Walton.
17:42Hello, Jim.
17:43Welcome to Tic-Tac-Toe.
17:45And I got to tell you that I have always thought about going up in a glider.
17:48Glider flying, to me, I think would be an exciting experience, quite an experience.
17:52Well, Colorado is quite the place for it, I'll tell you.
17:55Let me ask you a question, something I've wondered.
17:57This is a layman talking.
17:58I don't know anything about glider flying, but without an engine, how do you get that
18:01Hummer up there in the first place?
18:02Well, there's a tow plane, and it takes you up in the air, and then it lets you go.
18:06Then what do you do?
18:07Well, it's similar to a surfboard rider riding the waves.
18:10You just ride the air.
18:11How do you control where you're going, though?
18:13Air control is inside the plane, but sometimes the air just takes you where it wants to take
18:18you.
18:19And what if you get lost?
18:20You just sort of hope you find the right place sooner or later, huh?
18:22Peaks and valleys.
18:23All right.
18:24Before we get a long way from where we're supposed to be, let's get to the board.
18:27Take a look at nine subjects that hopefully both of you will know a lot about.
18:31Numero uno, one word names, maps of states, musicals, zoology, baseball, cooking, mythology,
18:38and foreign stars.
18:39Alan, select.
18:40Stick with the center with zoology.
18:42It always starts with that center box.
18:43Alan, I'll describe two of the largest animals of their kind, and you name the animals.
18:48One, the largest member of the cat family is found in Siberia and other parts of Asia
18:54and averages over ten feet in length.
18:57Secondly, the largest bird in the world is found in Africa, stands over nine feet tall,
19:04and cannot fly.
19:05Here's your extra time to think about those.
19:07Alan, you're going for the all-important center box to begin with.
19:20The largest member of the cat family is found in Siberia and other parts of Asia
19:24and averages over ten feet in length.
19:26What is it?
19:27That'd be the tiger?
19:28That's right, the Siberian tiger.
19:30Secondly, to put an X in the center box, the largest bird in the world is found in Africa,
19:35stands over nine feet tall, and cannot fly.
19:37That'd be the ostrich.
19:38You are correct.
19:39So, another X goes up on the board in this new game, 300 to pot.
19:44Let's shuffle and move it to Jim Walton.
19:46Okay, Jim, you are in control.
19:48Where do you move?
19:49I think I'll go on the bottom left-hand corner for maps of states.
19:52All righty, maps of states.
19:53Take a look at this map of the western United States, Jim.
19:56This state leads the nation in the production of apples.
19:59Name it and we'll throw an O in that box.
20:01My parents used to live in Washington.
20:03You are correct.
20:04Washington state.
20:05So, we put an O there and $500 in the pot.
20:08We'll be back in a moment.
20:13We'll be on the next show and we'll continue this game.
20:15Is that a promise?
20:16Definitely.
20:17Hey, good luck, Jim.
20:18You're doing all right for yourself.
20:19I can tell you're going to be a good player.
20:20Alan, I don't know what to say to you except, will you loan me some money?
20:23We'll see you next time.
20:24Bye-bye.
20:25Some of our body contestants will receive enhanced instant hair conditioner.
20:28Overworked hair is dreamed of its natural moisturizers.
20:30Enhanced moisturizers overworked hair.
20:32And when you've got anything that sticks or squeaks, reach for WD-40.
20:35Make sure things work smoother, last longer.
20:37You can do it yourself with WD-40.
20:39Also, Cordate Hydrocortisone from Upjohn
20:41for safe, effective relief of bitching rashes and skin irritations.
20:44Remember, Cordate Hydrocortisone from Upjohn.
20:46Plus, Trident Sugarless Gum.
20:48The great tasting sugarless gum with five flavors including bubble gum.
20:50Trident for families who care about their teeth.
20:52And Shout Liquid, Shout Aerosol.
20:54Two ways to tackle your tough stains.
20:56Want a tough stain out?
