00:00From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.
00:20It's Tic-Tac-Dole!
00:26And now, here's our host, Wheat Barton Day!
00:30Thank you, Charlie Legano. Hello, everybody.
00:34Welcome.
00:37Thank you very much.
00:39Welcome. Let's say hello, first of all, as we always do, but this is a special hello to a lady who's won a lot of money, over $40,000.
00:46Charlie, bring us up to date and introduce her, please.
00:48Our current champion, whose winnings total in cash and prizes, $41,150, is a nurse who is also attending college.
00:56Her hobby is collecting recipes. Meet Mimi Nugent!
01:00Yeah, bring her out here like Rocky. Boy, she's going strong.
01:08Mimi, you have had a lot of time now, a lot of hours, to think about your winnings, to think about perhaps what you're going to do with some of those winnings.
01:16What comes to your mind now as to what you're going to do with the cash or the prizes? Are you going to be able to take the trips, you think?
01:22Well, I'm really looking forward to taking the trips, since travel is something that I'm ready to do at any given moment of any day.
01:29How about the money? Have you given any more thought to...
01:30I'll probably spend that on the trips.
01:32That's right. Well, some of it, hopefully not all of it.
01:34You've got a lot of money coming from us here.
01:36Well, we had just finished on the last show. I believe you had won a match, and we didn't finish the business with a dragon.
01:42Do you want to do that or forget it?
01:43Well, maybe we'll just give it one more try.
01:45Why don't you come over here, then? Here we go.
01:49Mimi's our nurse. Yeah. Welcome back.
01:53Okay, Mimi. You know how our game is played.
01:56Behind the numbers are various amounts of money, denominations of money, a tick attack, and a dragon.
02:00If you reach $1,000 or more or combine tick with tack, Charlie O'Donnell's going to tell you what you're going to win.
02:05Mimi Tic-Tac-Dough has a few old expressions that will take on some new meaning for you.
02:09First, Mimi, you're as young as you feel, and you'll feel young for a long time to come
02:13working out on this invigorating home exercise equipment.
02:16Get in shape with the Brutus Bench Squat Rack and leg developer from Excel.
02:19Professional quality-made exerciser for the home will make exercising a pleasure from Excel, the exercise company.
02:25Next, they tell us that time waits for no man, but fear not, you'll keep right up with it with these stunning new watches.
02:31Elegantly styled by Jules Jergensen, ladies' solid 14-carat white gold one-piece bracelet case,
02:35and a Jets Quartz analog Day-Date in two-tone case with matching bracelets from Jules Jergensen.
02:40And finally, Mimi, if nice and easy does it, then we want you to have this nice and easy gift worth over $2,200,
02:47this fabulous new hot tub.
02:50Enjoy the magic of your own hot tub experience.
02:52Soothe away aches and pains or relax on a star-filled night with close friends and intimate conversation.
02:57Hot tubbing fun furnished by California Cooperage.
02:59This expressions package is worth in cash and prizes over $4,250.
03:04You should have seen your husband's face light up when he said hot tub.
03:07Avoid the drag until you lose everything. Get the tick and the tack, you automatically get the dough.
03:11We're going to cover them up, move them all around now, and we go back to your husband and your mom,
03:15who are back again.
03:15That's right.
03:16They're going to keep coming back until you get it right.
03:18I think so. Well, they're telling me five, I'll do that when I'm wrong.
03:21All right, number five is one that you've picked every time.
03:24One time, it didn't mean luck for you, but most times it has, and this time it does.
03:27That's $500.
03:29Oh, I see a six out there now.
03:32All right, Hubby says six. Let's go next door to the six and see if we can come up with another five.
03:36100. You need 400 more, Meanie.
03:39What do I see? There are a lot of fours out there.
03:42All right, we're going to move over there and get the four on the other side of the five.
03:46Let's see if you have it. Tack.
03:47So you need $400 or you know what.
03:50That's right. How about seven?
03:52Seven.
03:53Number seven. $400, perhaps behind seven.
03:56Or we'll take tick. Do we get it?
03:57Yeah.
03:59Get the hot tub, Mama.
04:04You're going to enjoy that.
04:06I'll be sorry.
04:06You are going to enjoy that hot tub. That's great.
04:08Let's look behind the rest of the numbers.
04:10The dragon would have been found behind number three.
04:13If you called out number three, that prize package Charlie described so very nicely would have gone awry.
04:19Would have gone away, yes, is what would have happened.
04:21All right, now let's see.
04:22Let's wrap it all up here.
04:23Let's add it all up.
04:25And you have a grand total now in cash and prizes amounting to $45,400.
04:32You're getting close to that $50,000 mark.
04:35And you know you are only two opponents away from your second automobile.
04:39Two opponents away.
04:40We'll be back next match in just a moment.
04:43As we begin this new match, Mimi, I just want to remind you again, you've defeated eight opponents, and if you defeat two more, you'll get one of these.
04:57Mr. O'Donnell?
04:57For your driving pleasure, you'll win a brand new car.
05:06Sound like I was giving Charlie O'Donnell away.
05:08You'll win one of these, Mr. O'Donnell.
05:09But that's not the way it works.
05:11Charlie, who do we have to take her on in a new match?
05:13Winked from New York City, she's a technical writer who is presently living in Los Angeles.
05:17She enjoys theater and films.
05:18Meet Julie Bailey.
05:20Hello, Julie.
05:26Hello.
05:27What brings you from the Big Apple out here to the Big Orange?
05:30Well, I came out here for a vacation, and my office found out I was out here, and I got put to work at the branch office.
05:36But I miss New York.
05:39I miss New York.
05:40What do you miss about New York?
05:42Gosh, I miss everything about New York.
05:44I miss Central Park.
05:45I miss the great pizza you can get there.
05:48Everything, I especially miss that New York magic.
05:51What do you mean when you say New York magic?
05:53New York magic.
05:54New York is electric.
05:56It's always life in the fast lane, always something to do.
06:00Things are always happening.
06:01I expect you at any minute to break into that song, New York, New York.
06:05You could probably do it, too, right, Julie?
06:07But we won't hold you to that.
06:08Maybe later, if you're around here long enough.
06:11Mimi's going to try to see to it, you realize this, that you aren't around here long enough to sing New York, New York.
06:15Let's look at the subjects.
06:16Mimi, Julie, take a look.
06:18Our game will be built around questions involving things like Big and Little, the United Nations, potluck pictures, famous lovers, opera, country music, sports stars, cooking, and men of ideas.
06:28And, Mimi, as our champion, of course, you have the right to select first.
06:32Well, I think I'll try cooking in the bottom center.
06:35All right, question on cooking is, a special flavor called mocha results when the taste of coffee is mixed with something else.
06:43Name it.
06:43Chocolate.
06:44Correct.
06:44Cocoa or chocolate.
06:46Put it next there.
06:47Cooking, $200.
06:49Let's shuffle.
06:50Okay, New York.
06:52Okay, New York's going to go for potluck pics in the center.
06:55In the center.
06:55All right.
06:56Take a look at this picture, Julie.
06:57Julie, one of these symbols is used to represent an American automobile manufacturer, and the other represents a German automobile manufacturer.
07:05Take a few seconds and then name the companies.
07:17Julie, again, one of the symbols represents an American automobile manufacturer.
07:21The other represents a German automobile manufacturer.
07:25Name them.
07:25Let's take this one first.
07:26Chrysler.
07:27Correct.
07:28Bavarian Motor Works.
07:29You got it.
07:30BMW.
07:31Chrysler and Bavarian Motor Works.
07:34All right.
07:35And all goes the center box and another $300 to pot.
07:37Let's shuffle.
07:38And, Mimi, it's back to you again.
07:42Well, I think I'll try famous lovers on the bottom.
07:45Okay, famous lovers it is.
07:47Mimi, these married physicists jointly won the Nobel Prize in 1903 for their discovery of radium.
07:55The wife was Marie, and his name was Pierre.
07:58What was their famous last name?
08:00Curie.
08:00Correct.
08:02Certainly a nurse got to get that one, too, because we all know that one.
08:06Okay, we put an X there and turn back to Julie with a $700 pot.
08:09I've got a block with potluck pics, bottom left hand.
08:12Well, good luck on this one.
08:13That's the one you picked for your first choice.
08:15Take a look at this picture.
08:16You're going for a block.
08:17This country and pop singer has hosted his own television shows and starred in films.
08:21To block Mimi, Julie, name him.
08:23Mac Davis.
08:24Yeah, that handsome Mac Davis.
08:26Good writer, good singer.
08:28And a good actor, I might add.
08:29So we put an O there for a horizontal block.
08:31We shuffle and turn back to Miss Nugent.
08:35Well, Wink, I think I'll try cooking in the upper right for the block.
08:38Do you do a lot of cooking at home, by the way?
08:39No, I just collect the recipes.
08:41That's right.
08:41You set that out at the beginning, didn't you?
08:44All right, you're going for a diagonal block of Julie, Mimi.
08:46This egg dish is served on an English muffin with ham and covered with hollandaise sauce.
08:53For a block, name it.
08:54Eggs Benedict.
08:55You got the block.
08:56That's right.
08:57Put an X there.
08:59Julie, nobody said it was going to be easy, did they, huh?
09:02Let's move them around.
09:03We have an $1,100 pot to play with.
09:05Try to add to that.
09:07Okay, got to go with Famous Lovers.
09:09Famous Lovers.
09:10Again, you're going to block Mimi this time vertically, Julie.
09:13This 1971 cult classic film starred Bud Cort as a 20-year-old boy and Ruth Gordon as his 79-year-old girlfriend.
09:23For a block, his name was Harold.
09:24What's her name?
09:25Maude.
09:25Yeah, Harold and Maude was the film.
09:28A vertical block.
09:29That takes care of that.
09:30Three boxes left as we shuffle again.
09:33Mimi.
09:35Well, I think I'll have to block again now with Men of Ideas.
09:38The block, Julie, horizontally, Mimi.
09:39In 1837, Isaac Pittman devised a system of writing that is still used by secretaries and stenographers to this day.
09:48For a block, name it.
09:50Shorthand.
09:50You have a block with shorthand.
09:53Men of Ideas.
09:54The answer is shorthand.
09:54We put an X there.
09:56Another $200 in the pot takes the value of the game to $1,500 bucks.
09:59Two boxes left.
10:00Let's shuffle.
10:02Julie.
10:03Well, I'm going to go with cooking.
10:10Cooking it is.
10:12All right.
10:12She goes with cooking over country music.
10:16Answer this, Julie, and we'll have a tie game.
10:18In a certain section of the supermarket, you might find such items as brie and edam.
10:26They're all types of one certain food.
10:29For a tie game, name that food.
10:32Cheese.
10:32Yes, that's right.
10:33We have a tie.
10:35Name that cheese.
10:39Let's see.
10:39That's not a game show, is it?
10:40We can't get sushi.
10:41No, no.
10:42That's another thing in time.
10:43Name that cheese.
10:44And you got it, Julie.
10:45And so did you, Mimi, because we ended up in a tie, obviously.
10:48We have $1,700 in the pot.
10:50And you know how this works.
10:51We just show you nine new categories, and we pick up the pot where it is right now.
10:55You ready?
10:56Ready.
10:56Jump right in.
10:57Here are the categories.
10:58Take a look, everybody.
11:00Mixed drinks.
11:01U.S.
11:01Geography.
11:02Action films.
11:03Foreign words.
11:04Royalty.
11:04Take a letter.
11:05Young stars.
11:06The secret category can be any category at all, and a correct answer doubles the pot.
11:11Redheads.
11:12Rounds them out on the board.
11:13Those are your nine subjects.
11:14And Mimi, may you select?
11:15I think I'll take royalty in the center, please.
11:17In the center, worth $300 addition to the pot.
11:20Mimi, in 1956, Grace Kelly made headlines when she married the prince of Monaco.
11:26Several years later, their daughter made headlines when she married a French commoner.
11:31First, name the prince Grace Kelly married, and then name their celebrated daughter.
11:38Here's your extra time.
11:48Mimi, name the prince Grace Kelly married back in 1956.
11:54Prince Rainier.
11:55That's correct.
11:56Name their celebrated daughter.
11:58Caroline.
11:58Right.
12:01So we put an X in the center box and add $300 to the pot, taking the value of the game
12:06to $2,000.
12:08His full name, by the way, is we could accept Rainier, Louis, Henry, Henri, Maxence, Bertrand
12:14de Grimaldi.
12:15But we didn't accept that because it takes too long to do that.
12:18I just blew that for us.
12:20All right, Julie.
12:21I'm going to be brave and try the secret category.
12:24Oh, I love it.
12:26I love it.
12:27All right.
12:27I love it when that happens.
12:29All right.
12:30Here we go, Julie.
12:30The secret category is Great Britain.
12:33Now, if you answer this question correctly, the pot will double to $4,000 in cash.
12:39Julie, two men alternated as Britain's prime minister between 1868 and 1885.
12:47One of them was Liberal Party leader William Gladstone.
12:51The other, a conservative, had the first name of Benjamin.
12:54I want you to name him.
13:01Oh.
13:03The answer is Benjamin Disraeli.
13:05Oh.
13:06D-I-S-R-A-E-L-I.
13:08Benjamin Disraeli.
13:09Well, you took a shot, didn't come up, but maybe it'll still happen for you.
13:12Let's keep the game going, Mimi.
13:14We move back to you as we shuffle.
13:16Where would you like your next X to go?
13:19Well, I'll take a chance this time and go with the secret category.
13:22Julie did it, and now Mimi's going to do it.
13:24A little gambling spirit over there in both of them.
13:26The secret category is weights and measures.
13:30Answer this question correctly, and the pot will double to $4,000, Mimi.
13:33There are two pints and a quart.
13:37To double the pot to $4,000, how many pints are there in a gallon?
13:42Six.
13:43No, eight.
13:44Oh.
13:45There are two pints and a quart.
13:48There are eight pints in a gallon, Mimi.
13:50Julie missed on the secret.
13:52What is it about the secret category?
13:53Are we making them too rough for you?
13:55All right, we still have $2,000 in the pot.
13:57We still have one X on the board.
13:59And Julie, you can catch up here.
14:01All righty.
14:02At least you can even it up at this point.
14:03Where would you like to move?
14:05Let's try Young Stars.
14:07I thought you were going to say secret category, Julie.
14:10Young Stars.
14:11In the early 70s, this child singer named Michael and his four brothers
14:15recorded the hits I'll Be There and Never Can Say Goodbye.
14:19Name him.
14:20Michael Jackson.
14:21That's right, Jackson.
14:23Back then, they were the Jackson Five.
14:25We put an O there, $2,200 in the pot,
14:27and we'll be back to our game between Mimi and Julie, the two gamblers.
14:29Let them all do it, too.
14:32Lapsmanship in a genuine hardwood fennel.
14:34Black Watch from Mabitibi, plus Carter's layout sets.
14:37For Generations, the special gift for special babies,
14:39if they could just stay little till their carters wear out.
14:41Also, Niagara is America's number one spray starch.
14:43Helps prevent the deep penetration of soil and stain.
14:46Now back to Wing.
14:47Okay, thank you very much, Mimi, Julie.
14:49Let's continue now.
14:50It's a good match we have going here.
14:51$2,200 in the pot.
14:52Let's shuffle the categories.
14:53And Mimi, please select once again.
14:57Well, I had good luck the last time with royalty.
14:59I think I'll try it again.
15:00Second time on royalty, and this is your question.
15:02This English king became known as the Conqueror
15:04because he assumed the throne after his Norman army defeated the reigning king.
15:10Harold, I'm going to repeat this because I should have used a comma there,
15:14and I put a period there.
15:15This English king became known as the Conqueror
15:18because he assumed the throne after his Norman army defeated the reigning king, Harold, in 1066.
15:25Name him.
15:25William.
15:26Right, William I, the Conqueror.
15:28William the Conqueror.
15:29Sorry about that.
15:31All right, we'll put an X there, and we shuffle.
15:33Julie?
15:34Okay, I've got to go with foreign words to block.
15:37Julie, take a look at this foreign word, please.
15:40This is a colorful word in Italian,
15:42and I'm going to ask you to name it for a block.
15:45Okay, I'm guessing.
15:46Yellow?
15:47Yes, it is yellow.
15:51G-I-A-double-L-O.
15:53What gave you yellow on that?
15:54I kind of went yellow.
15:56This doesn't have a thing to do with it.
15:58This could be red, and it would still be yellow back here.
16:01You can see that.
16:03Yellow.
16:03All right, congratulations.
16:04Good for a diagonal block.
16:06$2,600 in the pot.
16:07Let's shuffle.
16:08And Mimi, your turn.
16:09Well, I think now I'll have to block with redheads.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Hey, Julie, she's going to have to block you this time.
16:15This redheaded actress starred with ex-husband Woody Allen in the film Bananas.
16:20On television, she was Mary Hartman.
16:22For a block, name her.
16:24Lasser.
16:25Yes, Louise, Lasser.
16:26I'll tell you, Mimi does know her television, as well as about a million other subjects.
16:31We put an X there for a vertical block.
16:33Four boxes left.
16:34Let's shuffle for Julie.
16:36$2,800 in the pot.
16:38Julie, select.
16:39Young Stars.
16:40You need this for a horizontal block of Mimi.
16:42Julie, he wrote his first songs before he was 10, and his first musical comedy at 23.
16:49His classic tunes include Night and Day and Anything Goes.
16:54For a block, name him.
16:56Cole Porter?
16:56Yes, sir.
16:57That's right.
16:58Yes, ma'am.
16:59Cole Porter.
17:00Good for a block.
17:01Three boxes left.
17:02Let's move them around on the board.
17:04$3,000 pot.
17:05Mimi?
17:07Well, I think I'll go to the secret category.
17:10The secret category, Mimi, is World War I.
17:15Congratulations, Mimi.
17:16Thanks.
17:17One that I knew she was hoping she'd get, of course.
17:20World War I.
17:21Seriously, answer this question correctly,
17:23and the pot will double to $6,000.
17:26Here's your question.
17:27Mimi, in World War I, a former race car driver named Eddie
17:31became America's leading flying ace by destroying 26 enemy aircraft.
17:38He later became the head of Eastern Airlines.
17:43To double the pot to $6,000, name him.
17:47Rickenbacker?
17:48You got it.
17:48That's right.
17:54Captain Eddie Rickenbacker.
17:56I remember reading about him during the war.
17:59He was later, I think, in World War II, wasn't he?
18:01Shot down and he was at sea for a long time in a raft.
18:04I think it was World War II.
18:06Anyway, $3,000 now jumps to $6,000.
18:10And congratulations, Mimi.
18:12Let's shuffle them around.
18:13Two boxes left.
18:15Julie, U.S. Geography and mixed drinks.
18:17Mixed drinks.
18:18We're a block.
18:19You're going for a vertical block of Mimi.
18:21Julie, again, on the defensive.
18:23Bacardi is a popular brand of this liquor,
18:25which is made from the fermentation and distillation of sugar cane.
18:30She's smiling.
18:31Name it for a block.
18:33Rum.
18:33That's right.
18:34Good for a vertical block.
18:35Put an O there.
18:37$6,200 in a cry.
18:39All right, Mimi.
18:40One box left.
18:41Let's see what it's going to be.
18:43The subject is one of the favorites of yours.
18:45You picked it twice, I believe, in this game.
