00:00From Television City in Hollywood,
00:28CBS presents America's most exciting new show,
00:32The Joker's Wild.
00:35Now, here's the host of our show, Jack Berry.
00:46Thank you very much.
00:48This is The Joker's Wild, the game where lady luck is queen
00:52and knowledge is king and you never know where the chips fall.
00:55As you know, those of you who've been watching,
00:56we have a brand new champion. He won one game, won a lot of prizes,
00:59and now we're going to see whether he's going to go on to try to break our jackpot.
01:02So, Johnny Jacobs, would you introduce our first two players, please?
01:06My pleasure, Jack. Our current champion going for his second win
01:10is a gentleman who works for the United States government.
01:12His name is John Proe.
01:14And his opponent would be a fellow really cooking with gas because he's a chef.
01:22Here is Steven Skaggs.
01:28Welcome back to the program.
01:29John, you were lucky yesterday. You answered some questions.
01:31You won yourself $600. Is that a pretty exciting moment for you?
01:33Very happy. My family is very happy about it.
01:35And then you went on and won some fabulous prizes.
01:38And you also gave us your decision that you would go in another game
01:41and risk the $600 you had won, correct?
01:43That's right, Jack.
01:44And the man you're going to risk it against is Steven Skaggs.
01:46Steven, how do you feel about being on the show?
01:48Excited.
01:49And you are a chef?
01:50Mm-hmm, at a Greek restaurant.
01:53Do you cook Greek food?
01:55Mm-hmm, Greek food, Middle Eastern, that kind of thing.
01:57That's very interesting.
01:58Well, we'll see if you can score as well as you can cook here on the program.
02:02And the game will get going in just a moment.
02:04But first, we do have these words.
02:06I'm like juicy.
02:07I'm with the Joker's Wild right now.
02:09The champion is John Proe.
02:10And John yesterday agreed that he would risk the $600 he won
02:14in order to play in the next game.
02:15He, of course, has got the opportunity to go on here,
02:18to win this game if he does, and the next game,
02:20in which case, he would break our jackpot.
02:22Players will think you know how to play the game.
02:23You spin the wheels and get categories.
02:25If you get single categories, it's worth $50.
02:27A pair is worth $100.
02:28A triple is worth $200.
02:30The Joker's a Wild.
02:31You can make any combination you want.
02:32$500 or more wins the game.
02:33And if anybody gets three Jokers in a row,
02:35three Jokers, price the board,
02:37you win the game right then and there by answering one question.
02:40In the game between you two very nice fellas,
02:42here are the categories that will be used.
02:44Zoology, Famous Vehicles, Russia, Indians,
02:47and Walt Disney.
02:49Champion always goes first.
02:51Here is your second game, John Proe,
02:53and your march to try to win three.
02:54Good luck and spin.
02:58Famous vehicle.
02:59Joker, Walt Disney.
03:01How do you play it?
03:02I'll try Disney for $100.
03:03All right.
03:04Here is the question.
03:05Although a rather unusual name for a skunk,
03:08when Bambi called him by this name, it stuck.
03:11For $100, who was this friendly little skunk?
03:15I have no idea.
03:18Well then, I'll have to turn it over to your opponent.
03:21Under the rules of the game,
03:22if your opponent can answer the question,
03:23he will get your $100.
03:24Do you know the name of the friendly little skunk?
03:26The only skunk I know of is Pepe Le Pew,
03:29and that isn't it.
03:31I don't think.
03:32No, that's the wrong skunk.
03:34The correct answer here was flower.
03:36Flower.
03:37I'm sorry that neither of you score,
03:39and right now, since you have not had your turn, Steven,
03:42it's yours.
03:43Good luck.
03:45Disney, Russia, Russia.
03:47How about Russia for $100?
03:49All right.
03:50If you play this, you'll get an answer correctly.
03:51You'll have $100.
03:52We use a teapot or a kettle to boil water.
03:55For $100, what's the Russian word for such a container?
03:59The Russian word for tea is shy,
04:02so it would have to be something like that.
04:04Shy?
04:05No, that's not right.
04:06That's not right.
04:07And now, John, if you can answer this question,
04:09you'll get $100.
04:10Samovar?
04:11Samovar is right, and you'll get $100.
04:18How do you have to get a chance?
04:19Good.
04:21Vehicles, zoology,
04:24Indians.
04:25And Indians.
04:26Famous vehicles, zoology, Indians.
04:28How do you play it?
04:29Famous vehicles.
04:30Okay, it's a $50 question.
04:32The Ford Motor Company gave birth to this famous automobile
04:35in the fall of 1957, but death came quickly in 1959.
04:39Named for the son of Henry Ford, what was this type of car called?
04:44The Edsel.
04:45Right for $50.
04:46You go to $150.
04:47Steven, you're up there.
04:51You go to the Ford.
04:54Disney.
04:55Russia.
04:56Zoology.
04:57How about zoology?
05:01How about it?
05:02Okay.
05:03For $50.
05:04One type of camel is the Bactrian.
05:06Name the other type camel.
05:08Andromedary.
05:09Right for $50.
05:10You're on the board.
05:15Vehicles, Disney, zoology.
05:18I'll try famous vehicles again.
05:20All right.
05:21You did well last time and here it is.
05:22Sir Francis Chichester made a much publicized solo circumnavigation of the world in 1966-67.
05:29What was the name of his ship?
05:35North Star?
05:36No, that's not right.
05:37Your opponent will pick up $50 if he can tell me what it was.
05:40Sunflower.
05:41No, the Gypsy Moth.
05:42The Gypsy Moth.
05:43Okay, it is your spin, Steven.
05:45You go ahead and spin.
05:46Indians.
05:49Joker.
05:50Disney.
05:51How about Indians?
05:52Okay.
05:53For $100.
05:54Although known for living in the Everglades, this Indian tribe also has members in Oklahoma.
05:59By what name are they called?
06:01The Seminole.
06:02Right.
06:03You go to $150.
06:06That's all tied up.
06:07All right, John.
06:10Indians.
06:11Disney.
06:12Indians.
06:13I'll try Indians for $100.
06:14Okay.
06:15What is the most popular Indian word for money, generally made of string beads or shells?
06:22Wampum.
06:23Right.
06:24You go to $250.
06:30Vehicles.
06:31Vehicles.
06:32Disney.
06:33Famous vehicles.
06:34All right.
06:35It's a $100 question.
06:36In underworld slang, what is the paddy wagon used to take people to jail known as?
06:42The Black Mariah.
06:43Right.
06:44You go to $250.
06:45They're tied up again.
06:46John.
06:47Joker.
06:48Russia.
06:49Russia.
06:50Russia.
06:51There's a triple.
06:52That's right.
06:53Okay.
06:54If you answer correctly, you'll have $200 more.
06:55You'll have $450.
06:56You'll have $450.
06:57In 1904, Russia fought a war and lost.
06:58For $200, name the other country.
07:00Crimea?
07:01Crimea?
07:02No, I'm sorry.
07:03That is not right.
07:04Here's a big chance for you, Steve.
07:05So you'll pick up $200 if you can tell me the other country with whom Russia fought in
07:081904.
07:09Oh, that'd be Japan.
07:10Right.
07:11And you'll go to $450.
07:12Now I point out that since Stephen has $450 and since it is his proper turn, one correct
07:19answer in any category can put you out of the game and you would be our new champion,
07:25Steve.
07:26So spin and let's see what happens.
07:27Russia.
07:28Disney.
07:29Disney.
07:30How about Disney for $100?
07:31All right.
07:32If you answer correctly, you will have $550 and you will be the new champion.
07:36For $550 and you will be the new champion.
07:38For $550 and you will be the new champion.
07:41For $550, $550, $550, $550, $550, $550, $550, $550, $550, $550.
07:54For $550 in the championship, what kind of dog was the ugly dachshund?
08:01The ugly dachshund?
08:02Yes.
08:03A dachshund?
08:05No, I'm sorry.
08:08He was not a dachshund and now your opponent can pick up the $100 if he can give me the correct
08:14answer.
08:15A Wienerschnitzel?
08:19No, Wienerschnitzel.
08:22With a mustard and pickle on top.
08:27The ugly dachshund was a great Dane.
08:30Was a great Dane.
08:31Strangely enough, those of you who saw the picture will remember that, I'm sure.
08:34Okay, but the ball game still goes on.
08:36John, spin.
08:39Joker.
08:40Russia.
08:41Joker.
08:42I'll try Russia for $200.
08:49Okay.
08:50This would bring you up to $450.
08:52The Russian Revolution in November of 1917 brought two famous men into power.
08:57For $200 more, Vladimir Lenin was one.
09:00Name the other leader.
09:02Trotsky.
09:03Right.
09:04You go to $450.
09:06Once again, once again, Steve, you have the opportunity to go out here now.
09:10Let's see what you do.
09:11Zoology.
09:12Joker.
09:13Zoology.
09:14Zoology.
09:15Zoology.
09:16I ask you if that's the way you wanna play it.
09:20We're tied, so it won't make any difference.
09:21Zoology.
09:23Zoology.
09:25I ask you, is that the way you want to play it?
09:31We're tied, so it won't make any difference, so I'll take zoology.
09:34Okay.
09:34If you answer correctly, you will go to $650, and you will be the new champion.
09:40If you miss, and if he answers the question correctly, he will have $650, and he will have won his second game.
09:47Here is the question.
09:48The smallest and fiercest of mammals, this tiny animal eats several times its weight daily.
09:56For $650 and the championship, name it.
10:00The shrew.
10:01Right, for $650.
10:09And we have a brand new champion on the Joker's Wild, Steve Skaggs.
10:14Our chef has won $650, and in just a moment, we'll give you an opportunity to play our prize game.
10:19As for you, John, you don't take home any money, but as you remember from our last program, you won a cruise, you won a sauna, you won air-conditioned, lots of things to take home.
10:27Let's say goodbye to a very nice fellow, John Crowe.
10:29Goodbye, John.
10:32And we shall be back in just a moment with his prize game, the winner's prize game, after these words.
10:37You'll laugh your blank off with the Match Game Blank-a-thon.
10:43Four hours of the all-time best episodes of Match Game.
10:46You're, uh, pooping out on us, aren't you?
10:48Plus, special moments from a never-before-seen interview with Gene Rayburn.
10:52Watch the Match Game Blank-a-thon, Saturday, January 20th, starting at 8 Eastern, only on Game Show Network.
10:58I'm surrounded by weirdos.
11:00Steven Skag is the new champion.
11:02He's won $650, and Steve, as you know, every time a person wins a game on the Joker's Wild, they get a chance to play some fabulous prizes.
11:08Up on our wheels now, instead of categories, are jokers.
11:11Lots and lots of jokers and a few devils.
11:14If you spin and get three jokers, you automatically win the prize.
11:17If you come up with just one devil, you'll lose.
11:19We're going to give you three spins, you're going to win three prizes, and here is prize number one that you might win.
11:25Johnny?
11:26Jack, it's Yashica Electro 35 GT Cam Rides.
11:29Precision engineered and has a self-contained electronic brain to ensure professional quality pictures from Yashica.
11:35Pioneer in electronic photography.
11:37That's yours with three jokers, but remember, a devil lose it, spin, and good luck.
11:43Joker, Joker, Joker.
11:50All right, Johnny, would you tell Steve what is prize number two?
11:56It's a $1,000 shopping spree through the pages of the famous Beagle catalog.
12:01Everything from archery sets to zip-line coats.
12:03Over 50,000 items to choose from.
12:07That's what it's going to be.
12:09Now, do you want to spin?
12:10If you do, when a devil comes up, you lose both prizes.
12:12You can stop right now with the camera.
12:13What do you want to do?
12:14Go ahead.
12:15Let's spin.
12:16Let's go.
12:17Hold on.
12:17Still, go ahead.
12:20Oops.
12:21Joker, Joker, Joker!
12:22Oh!
12:28Great.
12:29You have two beautiful prizes.
12:30Here is the third and final prize you might win.
12:33What is it, Johnny?
12:34It's a treasure chest of prizes you could win.
12:37His and her watches worth $200.
12:40A stereo system for $220.
12:44A whirlpool bath worth $325.
12:47Twin stradoloungers worth over $550.
12:51A beautiful debutante range for over $600.
12:55And a fantastic washer-dryer combination worth almost $700.
13:00A total value worth over $2,500.
13:05However, the devil comes up, you lose them all.
13:10You can quit right now with the $1,000 gift certificate and the camera, or you can go ahead.
13:14What do you do?
13:15Go ahead.
13:19He goes.
13:20Good luck.
13:22Joker, Joker, Joker!
13:30Steven, you have just won yourself over $3,500 worth of prizes.
13:37How does that make you feel?
13:39That feels good.
13:40Good, huh?
13:40Good.
13:41I should say it does.
13:42And no one is ever going to take those away from you.
13:44That is not totally true about the money you won.
13:47You won $650 in cash.
13:49You have a decision to make now.
13:51If you go ahead, and if you lose the next game, you keep the prizes, but you lose the $650.
13:56If, on the other hand, you go ahead and play and win two more games, not only will you win
14:03all the prizes, not only will you win all the money that you win in the games, but you
14:06will win our jackpot, which right now, by virtue of having John Pro's money in it, it
14:11stands at $4,200.
14:14As an added incentive, in addition to all this, if you win the jackpot and you break the jackpot
14:20with three wins as an added prize, here is another gift you will get.
14:24Johnny?
14:26It's a Vega cam-back wagon.
14:29With bucket seats and front-disk brakes, it handles like a little sports car.
14:33Vega from Chevrolet, building a better way to see the USA.
14:37All told, if you can break the jackpot with cash and prizes over $7,700, your decision right
14:46now, do you quit with what you have, or do you risk your $650 and go ahead?
14:50Quit!
14:53Gonna have to go.
14:54Can't stand which more of it.
14:54You have to go?
14:55Gonna go.
14:56Why did you cut your throat like that?
14:57That means you're gonna quit.
14:59That's what I wanted to avoid.
15:01But you wanna go.
15:02Yeah.
15:03All right, he's going on.
15:04Very good.
15:05Johnny Jacobs, tell us who the next player is, please.
15:08All right, Jack, the next contestant is attending law school and is dating an attorney.
15:14Her name is Deborah Lewinson.
15:17Hi.
15:19Hi, Deborah.
15:20Hi.
15:21You're letting me give a job as well.
15:23You are studying to be a lawyer, is that right?
15:25That's right.
15:26I attend the University of West Los Angeles.
15:28I'm in my third year.
15:29And why do you want to be a lawyer, precisely?
15:31I think I got inspired by Perry Mason at an early age.
15:34Is that a fact?
15:35Really.
15:35Well, you couldn't have had a nicer inspiration.
15:37I think you know how to play our game.
15:38You're going to spin and try to make some joker combinations here, hopefully good combinations
15:43for you.
15:43Try to get the $500 or more to win the game.
15:45And here are the categories that are going to be used in this game.
15:48Here they are.
15:48Categories are Ecology, Games of Chance, Humphrey Bogart, Armed Forces, and Big Bands of the
15:5440s.
15:55Champion always goes first.
15:56He's trying for his second win.
15:58And it's your spin, Steve.
15:59Good luck.
16:02Big Bands, Ecology, Armed Forces.
16:05I'll take Big Bands for $50.
16:07All right.
16:08Here is the question.
16:09The leader of this big band never could take things seriously.
16:12His recordings of Cocktails for Two and Temptation are comic classics.
16:17Name this band leader.
16:18Artie Shaw?
16:19No.
16:20No.
16:21Can you give me the answer, Debra?
16:22Spike Jonze.
16:22Right.
16:22You pick up $50.
16:24You'll spin it.
16:29Bogart.
16:30Joker.
16:31Games of Chance.
16:33I'll try Bogart.
16:34Bogart.
16:35All right.
16:35It's worth $100.
16:37Here it is.
16:39In which of Bogart's films was Rick's Café American featured?
16:44Casablanca.
16:45Right.
16:45You go to $150.
16:47We'll be right back to pick up this game and score 0 to 150.
16:51But first, these words.
16:52Did you know that...
16:53Champion hasn't scored in this game.
16:56His challenger has.
16:56And the categories we're playing with are Ecology, Games of Chance, Humphrey Bogart, Armed Forces,
17:00and the Big Bands of the 40s.
17:01Steve, it's your spin.
17:02Let's see what happens.
17:06Armed Forces.
17:07Games of Chance.
17:08Ecology.
17:09Armed Forces.
17:10All right.
17:10This is a $50 question, and here it is.
17:13Of what branch of service is Semper Paratus the motto?
17:16The Marine Corps.
17:17No, that's not right.
17:19Not right.
17:19Debra, $50 is yours.
17:21What is it?
17:21The Air Force.
17:22No, that's not right.
17:23The Coast Guard.
17:24The Coast Guard.
17:25Neither of you score.
17:26And, Debra, your spin.
17:29Ecology.
17:30Ecology.
17:31Ecology.
17:32I'll take Ecology.
17:36Ecology is worth $200.
17:39Which suit?
17:41I'm sorry, I have a Games of Chance, which is not the right category.
17:44I'm going to give you that one.
17:45Here it is for $200.
17:4761 points.
17:48I still have that one.
17:50I'm in the wrong bin.
17:51I have my Games of Chance and Ecology in the wrong bin.
17:53Here comes the Ecology question.
17:55He came to national prominence for his attacks against the auto industry and has gone on to organize work against pollution problems.
18:02Name this crusader.
18:03It's my hero.
18:04It's Ralph Nader.
18:05Right.
18:05You go to $250.
18:06And the champion still is right on the board.
18:10Okay.
18:11Spin's do it.
18:13Big Band.
18:15Joker.
18:16Armed Forces.
18:17Let's try Armed Forces again.
18:19Okay.
18:19This time it's worth $100.
18:21Until recently, troops from this European nation were the personal guard of the Pope at the Vatican.
18:27For $100, from which country did these colorful soldiers come?
18:34Italy.
18:35No, that's not right.
18:36You can pick up $100, Deborah.
18:37Where'd they come from?
18:38Switzerland.
18:38Right.
18:38You go to $450.
18:43And I point out to you that because she has $450, and it is her proper turn if she answers any one question now,
18:49the game is over, and we will have a brand new champion.
18:52All right, Deborah, spin.
18:56Joker.
18:57Joker.
