00:00This is Anne, age 8.
00:06This is Amy Dawn, age 6.
00:09This is Christopher, age 8.
00:11This is Jenny, age 7.
00:14These children and others like them
00:16will try to make you understand
00:18what they're talking about on Child's Play.
00:24And here is the host of Child's Play,
00:28Bill Collins!
00:30Hello there, thank you.
00:37Thank you kindly.
00:41That's all right.
00:44Oh, thank you and welcome to Child's Play,
00:46a game for grown-ups.
00:47Well, we come to more or less of a milestone
00:50at this moment because we have our returning champ
00:52returning for this which will be her final day
00:56because we have a limit of five appearances.
00:58And here she sits, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00Within three months and a few days,
01:02she will become a brand-new mother.
01:04But more, well, not more importantly than that, no.
01:06But also quite important is the fact
01:09that in the past four days,
01:11she has become $12,900,
01:15the richer Karen Keene.
01:17Welcome back, Karen.
01:18Thank you very much.
01:19Thank you very much.
01:20Boy.
01:22Boy.
01:22Oh, isn't that nice?
01:24All that money for your very own.
01:26Tell us a little bit something about you
01:28because this will be your last chance.
01:30Well, I was a member of the 1976 rowing Olympic team.
01:34Uh-huh.
01:34And now I run to keep fit
01:36and I have a small calligraphy business.
01:39Uh-huh.
01:40Calligraphy is a very interesting art.
01:42It is the art, is it not,
01:43of printing and writing and script and things like that.
01:46And we want to welcome your opponent right now.
01:49He's a husky fella.
01:50It's a good thing it's not a physical battle.
01:52His name is Jeff Gale.
01:53Welcome, Jeff.
01:54Good to have you.
01:55Tell us a little bit about you, Jeff.
02:00All righty.
02:01I'm married, live in Glendale.
02:02I'm in real estate.
02:04When I'm not doing real estate,
02:05I recreate horse races on the radio.
02:07In other words, we recreate them
02:09as they were run earlier that day
02:10for the benefit of the people
02:11that never went out to the racetrack.
02:13Hey, that's a pretty good idea.
02:14You do that professionally, huh?
02:16Well, we try to think we are.
02:17Well, okay, I'm sure you are.
02:19Yeah.
02:19You know how I came.
02:20I do the same thing here.
02:21I recreate what happened a thousand years ago in a dream.
02:24If you're all set, let's get to play child's play.
02:27We aimed our cameras at kids who are five to nine,
02:30and we asked them to interpret
02:31some everyday words for us.
02:33Now, your job, of course, will be as usual
02:35to guess what those words are.
02:37Start the guessing, as we always do with our champion.
02:40That's Karen.
02:40So you get first guess.
02:42Now, first of all, let's show the people at home
02:44the word you're both going to be playing for.
02:46Okay, word is up there.
02:47And here comes lovely Jenny Lieb.
02:50Jenny is eight years old,
02:52and she's about to describe this word.
02:55Jenny?
02:55I hate them.
02:57Well, they're things when you have to work.
03:03Like, say, well, I get my allowance when I do them.
03:08And if I don't, then bye-bye allowance.
03:10Well, they're usually like making your bed
03:19or doing the dishes or something like that.
03:25But I hate them.
03:28Yucky.
03:28Yucky, she said.
03:30That was Jenny Lieb.
03:32And based on Jenny's description,
03:35what do you think we're looking for, Karen?
03:37I hate them too.
03:38Chores.
03:39Chores is the right answer.
03:40It's one for you.
03:43I sort of hate them too, now that you mention that.
03:45Okay, you're going to start this one, Jeff,
03:47so you watch carefully.
03:48First, for the folks at home,
03:50here comes the word.
03:50That's what we're looking for.
03:51I love this name.
03:53He is Damien Pierre.
03:55And Damien Pierre is six years old,
03:57and here's his description of this word.
04:00Damien.
04:00It's like if there's a dragon in your way
04:04and you was a prince,
04:07and you kill the dragon with a sword and stuff,
04:12and the dragon died.
04:15And a princess was there and you killed the dragon.
04:19Like the king would say,
04:21you're a very nice boy.
04:24And maybe he would say
04:27that you may marry my daughter
04:29or something like...
04:31or something.
04:32Okay, Damien.
04:33That's Damien's description, Jeff.
04:34Now, think it over.
04:37What one word comes to your mind
04:39after listening to Damien Pierre?
04:41If I was slaying a dragon,
04:42I'd be a knight.
04:44Knight is a good answer,
04:45but it's not what we were looking for.
04:46Now, we have that bit of information,
04:48and Karen's going to get a chance
04:49to listen to...
04:51Is it a brother?
04:52A sister team, is it not?
04:54They are Marissa and Joanna Capozo.
04:57Marissa and Joanna Capozo,
04:59they're both six years old,
05:01so I would have to assume
05:02that they are twins.
05:03Oh, brilliant, Phil, brilliant.
05:06I haven't been doing this work
05:08for all these years for nothing.
05:10So listen...
05:11Listen to the Capoza kids
05:13as they describe the same word.
05:15Ladies?
05:17It's like on Halloween
05:18when there's a haunted house
05:20and you're scared
05:21and you have to go in
05:23and you say,
05:24all right, I'll come in
05:25and, like, um,
05:27when a gorilla chases you
05:29and they put you in a cage.
05:33She took all my answers.
05:35She took the girls
05:36right out of my mouth.
05:38Thank you, other one.
05:44I don't know if that's the Capoza's
05:45or the Dolly sisters,
05:46but based on that,
05:48what do you think
05:48we're looking for, Karen?
05:50Well, if you had to go
05:50in a haunted house
05:51and you were scared
05:52but you went in anyway,
05:53I'd say you were brave.
05:54Brave is the answer.
05:56The land of death
05:58and the home of death.
05:59Two for Karen.
06:01Jeff has not scored yet,
06:02so we play child's play
06:04until time is up.
06:05Whoever's ahead at that point
06:06wins 500 bucks
06:07and a chance at 5,000.
06:09We'll be back
06:09with more child's play
06:10right after this.
06:13Weekdays are great days
06:14for great action.
06:16He's having a great time
06:16with you, Dave,
06:17and we're going to have
06:17a great contest.
06:18Great excitement.
06:19Isn't that great?
06:20It looks great.
06:21You get great answers.
06:22I've been great.
06:22I'm thrilled to be here.
06:23Great fun.
06:24All-time great.
06:25Great match-ups.
06:26Great.
06:26Great.
06:27Great.

06:28Great.
06:28It's a great way
06:29to spend the day.
06:30Isn't that a great deal?
06:31Great.
06:32Great.
06:32Greater.
06:33Greater's very nice and game.
06:35We're having a great time.
06:36Daytime Buzz.
06:38It's great.
06:39Today, starting at 10,
06:40only on Buzzer.
06:41Let's play.
06:42So let's get set
06:50with a new word.
06:51This time we're going
06:51to begin with you, Karen.
06:53And we're going to show
06:54the folks at home
06:54as we usually do
06:55the word you're both
06:56playing for.
06:57The word is up there
06:58and here's Tanya Powers.
07:00Tanya is six years old.
07:01She describes the word.
07:02Tanya, dear.
07:03You can feel like
07:04you don't feel well
07:07and you cough and sneeze a lot
07:09and you have sniffles
07:10and you can't go to school
07:13and you cough and sneeze a lot
07:16and you have to stay at your house
07:18and your mother has to give you medicine
07:23to make you feel better.
07:24I can't tell you
07:32what I'm laughing at.
07:33All I will say is
07:35what word comes to mind, Karen?
07:39If you cough and sneeze a lot,
07:40you might have a cold.
07:42No?
07:43I guess not.
07:44Keep that description in mind,
07:46all of you,
07:47because it's going to get
07:47more interesting
07:48as a little more is revealed.
07:50Jeff, keep that in mind
07:51and listen to Michelle Holcomb.
07:53Michelle's from Kentucky
07:55and she's eight and a half years old.
07:57Now remember,
07:57she's describing the same word.
07:59Michelle?
08:00I went to my friend's house
08:03at my grandma's
08:05and I spent the night with her
08:08and we went to bed and everything
08:12and I wasn't used to her house
08:16and so I got up
08:19and I started to cry
08:21and she woke up
08:23and she said,
08:24well, what's wrong?
08:26And I said,
08:26I need to go back
08:27to my grandma's house
08:29and she says,
08:30well, call your grandma's house.
08:33So I called my grandma
08:34and she said,
08:36well, what's wrong?
08:37I said,
08:38I'm not used to her house yet.
08:40Okay, now based on what you heard, Jeff,
08:44what word,
08:46what word do you think
08:48we're looking for?
08:49Well, being all that sick,
08:51could she have allergies?
08:53No?
08:55No?
08:56This gets more amusing.
08:58Nothing,
08:58nothing against,
08:59no reflection against
09:00either of our players.
09:02I just want you to take this moment
09:03to say,
09:03remember,
09:04these are children
09:04describing these words.
09:06It's your turn, Karen,
09:07and here's an eight-year-old
09:08Heidi Lucas
09:09with the final description
09:10of this word.
09:12Heidi?
09:13Like,
09:13you go away to camp
09:15and you really miss your family.
09:18Sometimes you cry
09:19and you really,
09:22really miss them
09:23and you want to see them.
09:24And then,
09:25when they come and see you,
09:28you don't miss them anymore.
09:30And then they go back
09:33and then you get it again.
09:35Okay,
09:35thank you,
09:36Heidi.
09:38Well,
09:39did a little,
09:40did that little proverbial
09:42light bulb light up?
09:43I think it did
09:44on both your heads.
09:45Karen,
09:45it's your turn.
09:46What's the word?
09:47It's kind of like being,
09:48having a cold,
09:48but it's homesick.
09:50Homesick.
09:51That's the answer.
09:54Oh, shoot.
09:55It's great,
09:56and I love the description.
09:58The word was homesick
09:59and Tanya Power says,
10:00when you feel,
10:01when you don't feel good
10:02and you cough and sneeze
10:03and you stay home,
10:04you're homesick.
10:06Makes perfect sense to me.
10:08We have a three to nothing game
10:09and we have another,
10:10we have another word coming up
10:13and let's show it
10:14to the folks at home.
10:15Sure,
10:15you're homesick.
10:17Okay.
10:17Now,
10:18everybody knows what this is
10:19but our players.
10:20Julianna Stefanoff,
10:21who's seven and a half years old,
10:23gives you an excellent description.
10:24Jeff,
10:25watch carefully.
10:26It's a place
10:27where people go like
10:29Frank Sinatra,
10:31Malin Monroe,
10:32and there are like
10:38lots of shows there
10:39and you go there
10:43because you're going to be
10:44a big movie star.
10:46Lots of movie stars go there
10:48like Farrah Fawcett,
10:50Brooke Shields,
10:52Christopher Atkins,
10:53all those mush-mosh.
10:55Some people go to those casinos
10:58they have there
10:59with jackpots,
11:01which I like those things.
11:03And like,
11:04you just press like
11:05one of those things
11:05and then all the money
11:06comes out.
11:07If you get three the same kind,
11:09like two,
11:09three apples,
11:10you get money.
11:12Thank you, Julianna.
11:13All right.
11:14Well now.
11:17All right, Jeff,
11:18what do you think
11:19the word is?
11:20I love jackpots too.
11:21Las Vegas.
11:22Joe, nothing against you.
11:27I just had a feeling
11:27that was going to happen.
11:28Okay.
11:29We have the same word.
11:31That's worse than homesick.
11:34We have the same word
11:35being described by,
11:36oh, here she is,
11:37our friend and little actress.
11:38She seems like one.
11:39Katie Pulley,
11:41nine years old.
11:42Katie, dear, please.
11:43Well,
11:44Bing Crosby sang something like,
11:48Out where they say
11:50let us be gay,
11:51I'm going,
11:52hmm, hmm, hmm.
11:54And,
11:55and,
11:56well,
11:58it's a city
11:59kind of near Los Angeles.

12:18and,
12:18and it's a great town.
12:20Okay, now,
12:21based on that,
12:22if I say these are children
12:25doing the description,
12:26what do you think it is?
12:28Hollywood.
12:29Hollywood is the right answer.
12:30I don't know,
12:35I don't know how we got the,
12:37it was a perfect description
12:38preceding that,
12:39then we all of a sudden
12:39we got the jackpot,
12:41and we found out since then
12:42that jackpot is homesick.
12:44It's four to nothing,
12:45when at the back of Child's Play
12:46we're going to shift gears,
