00:00Take a risk, take a chance, take a dare, play the game of Double Dare, with the host of
00:22Double Dare, Alex Trebek.
00:30Hi, thank you very much.
00:32Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome once again to Double Dare.
00:35I hope you've been watching our show this week, because television, as you know, is an entertainment
00:40medium, and we have a champion right now who is a very entertaining guy.
00:45He's got a lot of nervous mannerisms, but he's very unguarded, he's loose, and he's a
00:50lot of fun, and he usually comes up with the right answer, and I'd like you to meet him
00:54right now.
00:55The returning champion, Alan Lusher.
00:58How are you, Alan?
00:58I still can't believe it's happening.
01:03Well, it is happening, and so far, you have $7,750 in cash winnings up to this present
01:11game.
01:11And a wallet.
01:12And we're just a few days away from New Year's.
01:14Do you usually make New Year's resolutions?
01:17I'm going to make one this year.
01:18I never keep them, but I make them.
01:20You never keep them?
01:21Okay.
01:21I'm going to keep it this time.
01:22What is it?
01:23To look after your money.
01:24I resolve to thank my lucky stars.
01:26Nice to have you back with us.
01:28Good luck to you in today's game.
01:30Here is your opponent.
01:32Challenging Alan Lusher is Kathy Wexler.
01:36Hi, Kathy.
01:37Hi.
01:38How do you feel?
01:39A little nervous.
01:41He's awfully good.
01:42He is very good.
01:43Do you remember when we signed off the last program, how much cash you had won?
01:46I think I have $100.
01:48You're absolutely right.
01:49You have $100.
01:50But the champion is leading.
01:52Let's look at his total.
01:56450, which means, Kathy, that he is just one correct answer away from winning the game.
02:01A game, as you know, is $50.
02:03So let's see what you can do.
02:04Good luck.
02:04All right, folks, I will remind you that we show our contestants clues to help them identify
02:09a place, a person, or a thing.
02:11The clues get easier as we go along, and the first one to buzz in with the right answer
02:14wins $50 and the right to make a dare.
02:17To help you folks at home play along, if you'd like to, don't look at your screen right now
02:22because we're going to show you the correct answer for our very first subject.
02:26You can look when you hear the chime.
02:27All right?
02:27Here it is.
02:28Our first subject should be a lot of fun.
02:33It's a thing.
02:34A thing.
02:34Here is clue number one to help you identify the thing.
02:37A famous cow, which had many of these, used to draw crowds at New York's Coney Island.
02:43Clue number two.
02:45In Leviticus, Moses is admonished that they are to be avoided.
02:50Clue number three.
02:52Tsar Nicholas II got one in Tokyo.
02:54Britain's King Edward VII got his first in Palestine.
03:00Number four.
03:02Vivian Sailor Joe Simmons had $4,831.
03:06The most ever.
03:07Watch what you say.
03:08Remember, this is a family show.
03:09Kathy.
03:10A tattoo.
03:11You're right.
03:11Okay, you've got $150, and it's dare time for you.
03:16You might get back into the thing of this yet.
03:18Let's take a look at the next clue together.
03:20In the film At the Circus, Groucho Marx sang about Lydia,
03:23who had one which showed Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
03:26That's the dare clue, Kathy.
03:28You've got a decision to make.
03:30I'm so sure he knows it.
03:32And then he gets...
03:34Then he gets the match.
03:35He'll pick up $50 and have $500, and he'll go on to the spoiler round.
03:39So do you want us to stop?
03:41Try and peck away at him bit by bit?
03:45Let's dare him.
03:47All right.
03:49Ladies trying.
03:50It's all or nothing right now.
03:51Let's bring Alan back.
03:52Kathy got the right answer.
03:55She now has $150.
03:56She is taking the dare, trying to add $100 to that total.
04:00If after five seconds you give me an incorrect answer, Alan,
04:04then she gets $100.
04:07If you give me the right answer, you get $500 and the game.
04:11Here is the dare clue for you.
04:13Your answer, Alan.
04:22Horns?
04:23Horns is incorrect.
04:24So Kathy gets another $100.
04:26We close Alan's booth.
04:30All right, Kathy.
04:31Perhaps you were able to tell from the tone of his voice whether he was close or not.
04:35But you now have $250.
04:36It's double dare time.
04:37We're looking now at the next clue.
04:39And this is clue number six.
04:40The red dye used in them is made by drying and pulverizing the female cockneal insect.
04:45I think I'll stick.
04:46I won't dare him on that one.
04:47You're not going to take the double dare.
04:49Too close.
04:49Well, you've got $250.
04:50You trail by $200.
04:52That's good.
04:52Let's bring Alan back.
04:53She's decided to stop in this particular subject.
04:58And the next clue that she decided not to give you was the red dye used in them is made
05:03by drying and pulverizing the female cockneal insect.
05:06What would your answer have been, Alan?
05:08Beetles?
05:09Oh, you see that, Kathy?
05:11The right answer is a tattoo, Alan.
05:13Kathy, that was the time to take the double dare.
05:15If you had, it would all, everything would be tied up.
05:19We'd have $450 for each of you.
05:20But as it is, you're still within range, and we're going to go to our next subject.
05:25But first, we want to take a break for an important word we'd like you folks to watch.
05:33$200 separating our champion and our challenger.
05:36Kathy Wexler, you're doing nicely.
05:38And, Alan, you can wrap it up with one right answer, as you know.
05:40We'll show the folks at home the correct answer for our next subject.
05:47The chime indicates you can now look if you're playing along with us.
05:50And we'll all look at clue number one together.
05:52Here it is.
05:54He once received $1 and a box of candy for doing a television commercial
05:58for the Wall Street brokerage firm of E.F. Hutton & Company.
06:02Next clue.
06:03Constantly worried about his health, he chewed each mouthful of food 33 times.
06:09Clue number three.
06:10He never saw the museum that bears his name.
06:13Number four.
06:16His interest in collecting antique furniture led him to oriental carpets, sculptures, and other art.
06:22That's Kathy's buzzer.
06:23She has sealed the champion's booth.
06:24What's the answer, Kathy?
06:25Getty.
06:26Getty.
06:26John Paul Getty is right.
06:28Okay.
06:28You've got $300.
06:30And slowly but surely, you are narrowing the gap in this game.
06:34It's dare time for you.
06:35Let's take a look at the next clue.
06:37He was Playboy Magazine's contributing editor for business and finance.
06:41That's the dare clue.
06:42If you give it to Alan and he misses, you'll be just $50 short of his total.
06:47If he gets it, he will win the game.
06:50What are you going to do?
06:50Take the dare or do you want us to stop?
06:51I don't think I have much to lose.
06:53Let's dare him.
06:53Fine.
06:54Let's bring Alan back.
06:56Alan, Kathy gave us the right answer.
06:58She has taken the dare.
06:59If after five seconds you give us the right answer, then you will remain champion.
07:04You will have $500.
07:05Here is the dare clue for you.
07:11Alan, too much time.
07:17I'm sorry.
07:18We've got to cut you off.
07:19And that's another $100 for Kathy.
07:23You made it work.
07:25Alan's got $450.
07:26You've got $400.
07:27And it's double dare time.
07:28Let's look at the clue together.
07:30An American by birth.
07:31He lived in England for nearly 25 years.
07:33Do you want to go for broke and try to become the new champion right now by taking the double dare?
07:37Or do you want us to stop and try and peck away at Alan in the next one?
07:41I want to try it.
07:42Let's dare him.
07:42You want to do it.
07:43Let's bring Alan in.
07:46The applause you hear through my microphone is from our audience here who are applauding Kathy.
07:52She has taken the double dare.
07:53Alan, you've got your fingers crossed.
07:54You've got five seconds to look at this clue.
07:57If you come up with the right answer, then you remain champion.
08:00If you come up with the wrong answer, she has dethroned you.
08:03A very important clue for you.
08:05Look at it for five seconds.
08:07Alan?
08:14Geddy?
08:14Geddy is right.
08:15And you have $550 and you remain champion.
08:18Come out of here.
08:20Aw, Kathy, tough luck, but it was a good time to take the risk.
08:23You went for it all and it didn't pay out.
08:25But you do have the $400 with our congratulations.
08:28We have some gifts backstage.
08:30Happy New Year from Double Dare.
08:31Goodbye, Kathy.
08:32And congratulations to you again.
08:34Down to the wire once again.
08:36You now have $8,250.
08:41And you're looking nervous again, Alan.
08:43Yep.
08:43That ran out the string.
08:44That ran out the string.
08:45I hope not because we've got to go for $5,000 with the spoilers right after these words.
08:50Stay tuned, folks.
08:51Stay tuned, folks.
08:52Stay tuned, folks.
08:53Stay tuned.
08:56Total of $8,250 for Alan Lusher, our champion.
08:59But you had to do it the hard way.
09:00You were lucky to get an early jump of $350 on Kathy Wexler.
09:04Otherwise, it might not have worked out that way.
09:05She was tough.
09:06Yeah, I'm going to have to have that one answer tattooed.
09:08Right on your chest.
09:09Okay.
09:09Good luck to you because now, a possible $5,000.
09:12See what I told you about Alan off the top of the show?
09:14Let's meet the spoilers.
09:21Spoilers.
09:22We call them that because they win money if they can keep our champion from winning money.
09:26Each of the spoilers has a PhD.
09:28Let me introduce them.
09:29Spoiler number one is Dr. Bradford Burns.
09:32Spoiler number two, a very bright lady, Dr. Sally Wallace.
09:36Spoiler number three is Dr. Edward Taylor.
09:39Let's shut them off now so they can't hear what we are saying.
09:42You know how you go about defeating them.
09:44You've got to look at this board.
09:46And we have up here eight clues.
09:48The numbers, of course, are no indication as to whether the clues are easy or hard.
09:51You know that, Alan.
09:52And you've got to get four clues past the spoilers and hope they come up with wrong answers.
09:55Every time they miss, we give you $100.
09:57If one spoiler misses four times, then you win $5,000.
10:01Let's look at the top and see the correct answer.
10:03Folks are with you right now.
10:05They're encouraging you.
10:07Okay.
10:08The answer is Paul Simon.
10:09That is a person.
10:11Pick a clue.
10:11Number three.
10:13The town he wrote about in My Little Town is probably Forest Hills, New York.
10:18Now, you said, yeah, yeah, yeah, and you saw Paul Simon's name.
10:20Why?
10:20Are you a fan of his?
10:22Yeah, I'm a fan of his.
10:23I'm hoping they're not.
10:24Let's give him the clue.
10:25Fine.
10:26All right.
10:26Spoilers.
10:26The subject is a person, and here is the first clue.
10:30The town he wrote about in My Little Town is probably Forest Hills, New York.
10:34We'll go to Dr. Burns, first of all.
10:37I pass.
10:38Fine.
10:39That's $100 for you, Alan.
10:42Dr. Wallace.
10:43Spoiler number two.
10:45Fitzgerald.
10:46Fitzgerald is wrong.
10:48Another $100.
10:49Let's go to spoiler number three, Dr. Taylor.
10:51Your answer, please.
10:52No answer.
10:53Good.
10:54All right.
10:54$300.
10:55One clue past all three spoilers.
10:57Pick another.
10:58Number eight.
10:58He composed the original soundtrack for the film, The Graduate.
11:04Pass that one.
11:05Okay.
11:06We'll do that.
11:06You've given one, and you've passed on one.
11:08Pick another.
11:09Try number five.
11:11His latest album is still crazy after all these years.
11:15If they are not fans of his, chances are you could get it by.
11:18If they are fans, they should know it.
11:20Let's give it a try and see if we got their all Paul Simon fans.
11:23Give it to him.
11:23All right.
11:24At least we might eliminate one or two of the spoilers.
11:27All right.
11:28Spoilers.
11:29His latest album is still crazy after all these years.
11:34Dr. Burns, your answer first.
11:37Need an answer?
11:38Okay.
11:38That's another $100.
11:40Spoiler number two.
11:42Dr. Wallace.
11:43Bob Dylan.
11:44That is wrong.
11:46And right for you.
11:48Let's go to Dr. Taylor.
11:49Your answer.
11:51No answer.
11:52Mm-hmm.
11:53Up to $600 in cash.
11:55Pick another clue.
11:56Number seven.
11:58Art Garfunkel's former partner.
12:00Pass.
12:01We have now given two.
12:03We have passed on two.
12:04Select another.
12:05Number two.
12:07Not too long ago, he got high ratings as a host of NBC's Saturday Night Show.
12:11Let him have that one.
12:13Okay.
12:13A lot of intellectuals watch NBC's Saturday Night Show.
12:17Take a chance.
12:17Take a chance.
12:18There's a lot of hosts on the show.
12:19Right.
12:20You are absolutely right.
12:21Good thinking.
12:22Let's go to the spoilers.
12:22Not too long ago, he got high ratings as a host of NBC's Saturday Night Show.
12:29Dr. Burns.
12:30Who is it?
12:31Johnny Mathis.
12:32That is wrong.
12:34Another $100 for the chance.
12:36Dr. Wallace.
12:37Your reply.
12:38Jerry Lewis.
12:39You are wrong.
12:42Dr. Taylor.
12:44Who is it?
12:45Ed Sullivan.
12:46Ed Sullivan is wrong.
12:47$900.
12:50Hey, we're in good shape.
12:52Notice that any time you're close to winning $5,000, I suddenly start saying, we're in good
12:57shape.
12:57We're in good shape.
12:58You're dying all by yourself, but if you're winning, it's we.
13:01All right.
13:02All you have to do now is get one clue past any one of these spoilers, and you win $5,000.
13:08Pick a clue.
13:09Number four.
13:11His album, Bridge Over Troubled Water, was certified a gold record on the day it was released.
13:17First, give it a pass.
13:22Listen to what the audience is saying.
13:27Give me an answer now.
13:28Let them have it.
13:29Okay.
13:31All right.
13:33He wants all...
13:34He's right.
13:35It only takes one.
13:37But I hope you didn't make a mistake, because you're so close.
13:40All right.
13:41Spoilers.
13:41His album, Bridge Over Troubled Water, was certified a gold record on the day it was
13:47released.
13:48We'll go to spoiler number one, Dr. Burns.
13:51I don't know it.
13:51That's $5,000 for the champ.
13:54Paul Simon is the right answer.
13:57Dr. Wallace is not, and she knows it.
13:59But all we needed to do was get it back one, and that's another $5,000 for you.
14:03You now have $13,250.
14:07And another match coming up for Alan Lusher.
14:10Right after this word.
14:16Welcome back to Double Dare, ladies and gentlemen.
14:18If there is such a thing as a lucky star, then our current champion, Alan Lusher, must have
14:23one, because in that last round with the spoilers, you played it in sort of an unorthodox
14:29manner, because everyone, almost everyone in our audience was saying, pass on that Bridge
14:33Over Troubled Water clue.
14:35But you gave it to the spoilers, and you wound up with another $5,000.
14:38You've got something to say.
14:39Alex, they're music fans.
14:40They're modern-day music fans.
14:42I have a hunch that PhDs lean more towards Schubert and Beethoven.
14:46Okay.
14:46Well, it worked for you.
14:47You now have $13,250, and you're going to continue as the champ until somebody knocks
14:52you off, or will have to stop you after $20,000.
14:56But that's some ways off.
14:57Let's go to your opponent right now and introduce him.
15:00Challenging Alan Lusher is Joe Sinclair.
15:04Hi, Joe.
15:05Thank you, Alex.
15:07You were in the booth.
15:08You didn't get a chance to see Alan Lusher's performance with the spoilers, but he picked
15:11up an additional $5,000.
15:13He now has over $13,000.
15:15It could happen to you.
15:16Let's hear about you.
15:17Are you married?
15:18Yes, three children, and I'm a teacher at Eagle Rock High School here in Los Angeles.
15:22I'm currently on sabbatical leave, however.
15:24Why are you on sabbatical?
15:25What are you doing?
15:26Some studies?
15:26I'm going back to school.
15:27I've gone back to Cal State, L.A. to take some refresher courses.
15:30I've enjoyed it very much.
15:31Just finished.
15:32Is it difficult going back to school?
15:34Yes.
15:34After 17 years.
15:36What's the most difficult thing?
15:37I guess getting used to studying again, something I haven't done in a long time.
15:41I never went back to school after graduating from university, but I found that as an adult,
15:46I had a great deal of difficulty in writing for a long period of time.
15:49When you're a kid, you get to do a lot of writing and it doesn't bother you, but when
15:52you get past that, it really hurts.
15:54As a teacher, you don't do it.
15:55As a teacher, you don't.
15:56Right.
15:56You get everybody else to write.
15:57Right.
15:57Good luck to you, Joe.
15:58Thank you very much.
15:58$500 is a game, and that's what it will take to defeat our champion, Alan Lusher.
16:04We're going to show the home audience the first correct answer, and then we'll start
16:08you off with your clues.
16:13A little chuckle from the audience.
16:15That's because we're not going for the identity of a person.
16:17This time, we're looking for a thing, and here is clue number one.
16:22Barry Goldwater said that if you don't mind smelling of it, it's a darn good shaving cream.
16:26Clue number two.
16:30It is said to be excellent for removing chewing gum from hair.
16:34Clue number three.
16:36Dennis the Menace cartoonist Hank Ketchum announced that it's $3.75 a jar cost was one reason he
16:41left Switzerland, and Joe Sinclair thinks he knows the answer.
16:45What is it, Joe?
16:45Peanut butter.
16:46You are correct for $50.
16:48It's been quite some time since anyone has gotten the lead on Alan Lusher.
16:53If you're now in a dare situation, and you have a chance to go to $150,
16:56let's look at the next clue.
16:58George Washington Carver developed various new and improved kinds.
17:02Now, you have to make a decision.
17:04Do you want to take the dare, show that clue to Alan, or do you want us to stop right here
17:07because you figure he might come up with the right answer?
17:09I'll take the dare.
17:10Fine.
17:10Let's bring Alan back.
17:12Joe got a right answer, and he's a brave challenger.
17:15He has taken the dare.
17:16He's showing you the clue.
17:17You've got five seconds, Alan.
17:18Here it is.
17:25Alan.
17:25Peanut butter.
17:26You're right.
17:27It's all tied at $50 apiece.
17:33Doesn't miss too many.
17:34All right, we'll go on to another subject.
17:36A right answer for you folks at home to consider.
17:40A person this time.
17:42Here's clue number one.
17:43An accident ended his career as a trapeze artist, so he turned to the theater, hoping
17:48to direct.
17:50Alan's buzzer has sealed Joe's booth.
17:52The answer.
17:52I'll go with Burt Lancaster.
17:54You will go with Burt Lancaster, but you're wrong.
17:56So we close the door on you, and we bring Joe back.
18:01We got a wrong answer.
18:02Marvelous.
18:03Marvelous, yes, because you get a look at the penalty clue, and we'll give you a free guess.
18:07He was born Tyja Khan, son of a Manchurian father and a gypsy mother.
18:13I don't have the faintest idea, Alex.
18:15All right.
18:15You do have one advantage over Alan in that he'll never get to see that clue.
18:18In fact, he will get to see it maybe right now.
18:21Let's bring him back.
18:22No, he won't.
18:25All right, Alan, we still don't have a correct answer, so we're going on.
18:29Let's look at the next clue together.
18:32He won Broadway's Donaldson Award for acting opposite Mary Martin in Loot Song.
18:37Now Joe buzzes in again, and he thinks he's got it.
18:40What is it?
18:40Yul Brynner.
18:41Yul Brynner.
18:41All right.
18:43We're now up to $100.
18:47And it's dare time.
18:48Chance for you to pick up an extra $100.
18:50Let's go to the next clue.
18:51In the film The Magic Christian, he wore women's clothes and sang,
18:55I'm mad about the boy.
18:58Do you want to take the dare, Joe?
18:59Absolutely.
19:00Absolutely?
19:01You figure it's a fun clue?
19:02It's worth letting Alan see.
19:04All right, Alan.
19:05He's got the right answer again.
19:07He's taking the dare, showing you this clue.
19:15Your answer.
19:17Ringo Starr?
19:18That's wrong.
19:19We close you off.
19:20We give Joe another $100.
19:21He's up to $200.
19:23And it's double dare time.
19:25You can double your present total.
19:27You can go to $400 if you take the double dare and it works.
19:30Let's look at the clue.
19:31For Cecil B. DeMille, he played Jean Lafitte, the buccaneer.
19:34Do you want to take the double dare and show it to Alan?
19:38I'll take the dare.
19:39Okay.
19:39Let's bring Alan back.
19:40Here's five seconds for you to look at the double dare clue.
19:44Alan?
19:45Alan?
19:46Yul Brynner is right.
19:53Okay.
19:53You've gotten $100.
19:54That takes you to $150.
19:56Joe has $200.
19:57He leads by $50.
19:58And that buzzer means we've got to pause for this.
