00:00From Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen, it's the Joker's Wild.
00:12And now, here's the host of the show, Jack Barry.
00:24You're very kind, thank you and welcome once again to the Joker's Wild.
00:27We're delighted to have you with us on our last program, we crowned a brand new champion.
00:30She won a lot of money and then she got in the game and we didn't finish it.
00:34So we're going to do that right now.
00:35Charlie, would you introduce the champion and the challenger?
00:37Our current champion, whose winnings and cash and prizes total $5,425.
00:43She's a theatrical stage manager and newlywed who enjoys quilting, cooking and photography, Rebecca Klein.
00:50And her opponent, she's a homemaker and a mother who enjoys needlepoint and doing repair work around the house, Jane Washburn.
00:57Rebecca and Jane, welcome back to the Joker's Wild.
01:04Rebecca, on the previous program, you won a couple of games.
01:06You won $5,425 and this will be game number three and how do you feel? Confident?
01:11Yes, confident and excited.
01:13That's good.
01:13Because you're going to play against Jane Washburn, who on the last program told us that she does all kinds of interesting things around the house and I guess spares her husband a lot of the problems.
01:24Fixed washers and electrical machines and where did you learn these skills?
01:28Well, I took a course at one of the community schools from two women who have a company that helps people do this kind of work around their house.
01:36Isn't that nice?
01:37I bet your husband must be just thrilled to death that you do all those jobs.
01:40He is.
01:40He is.
01:41It's not that he can't do it.
01:42He just doesn't particularly want to.
01:43Oh, yeah.
01:46You were playing a game, girls, and we had just started.
01:49Jane, you didn't have to score anything.
01:51And Rebecca, you had $50, as I recall.
01:53These were the categories we were using, and we'll continue to use them.
01:56They were and are.
01:57TV people, you'll see some after you identify them.
01:59Dates and history.
02:00Then we have action books, nicknames, and finally, currency.
02:04Those were the categories, and it was your turn to go, Jane Washburn.
02:08Good luck.
02:08Okay.
02:11Joker, TV people and dates and history.
02:14Jack, I'll take TV people for $100.
02:17Look behind me at this picture.
02:18You might think a cop and a lawyer would make strange bedfellows, unless they happen to star in one of television's most popular shows, like these two.
02:25Name the show.
02:26Hill Street Blues.
02:27Daniel Trevante and Veronica Hamill.
02:29You're right.
02:30Hill Street Blues.
02:32And you have $100.
02:34Good luck, Rebecca.
02:35Here we go, Joker.
02:38Currency, TV people and action books.
02:41TV people for $50, please.
02:43You, too, can look behind me.
02:44She was a little girl when her hit TV series debuted, but now her character has gotten married on the show.
02:50What is the show's name?
02:52One Day at a Time.
02:53Valerie Bertinelli.
02:55You're right.
02:55One Day at a Time.
02:57And you have $100.
02:58We have a tie game.
02:59Great.
03:03Dates and history.
03:04Currency and action books.
03:07Jack, I'll take...
03:08I'd like to go...
03:10I'd like to take action books for $50.
03:12Okay.
03:12In one of his classic leather-stocking tales, James Fenimore Cooper, told the story of a heroic Indian named Uncas, who was the last member of his tribe.
03:22Name the tribe.
03:23The Mohicans?
03:24Yes, the last of the Mohicans.
03:25We have one, please.
03:26Rebecca.
03:29Joker.
03:31Joker.
03:32Joker.
03:32TV people.
03:35TV people for $200, please.
03:38Look behind me.
03:39This man had the challenge of following in some of television's largest footsteps.
03:43What's his last name?
03:45Rather.
03:46Dan Rather, replacing Walter Cronkow.
03:48And you have $300.
03:50And ladies, scores 150 to 300.
03:53We're going to take a little moment here, and we'll be right back to find out who wins the game.
03:56You know, I said, that rhymes.
04:05Jane Washburn, it's your turn.
04:07I didn't realize that.
04:08How do you want to play it?
04:09I, Jack, I'll take TV people for $50.
04:12Okay.
04:12Behind me, she stars on a popular TV sitcom.
04:16What's her real last name?
04:18I can't do it.
04:23You'll pick up that $50 if you can tell me.
04:25Roll.
04:26I beg your pardon?
04:27Roll.
04:27Nope.
04:28That's Isabel Sanford of the Jeffersons.
04:31Your spin, however.
04:34And Rebecca gets a Joker.
04:36Gates and History and a Triple.
04:41Gates and History for $200, please.
04:43Correct answer.
04:44He would bring you to $500 and win you another game.
04:46President Lyndon Johnson appears on national television and shocks the nation when he withdraws from the presidential campaign.
04:54For $5,925, what was the year?

05:01That's not right.
05:03You pick up $200 if you can tell me, Jane.
05:061971.
05:09Would you girls like to try again?
05:121968.
05:131968.
05:14But it's your spin, Jane.
05:16Nick names, TV people, and dates and history.
05:22Oh, Jack, I'll take TV people for $50.
05:25Okay.
05:25Look behind me if you will.
05:27This scoundrel's name is Boss Hogg, and he is the sworn enemy of the Duke family.
05:32In which county does this rascal ride roughshod?
05:35Hazard.
05:39Hazard.
05:40Can't do it.
05:41$50 if you can tell me, Rebecca.
05:43Hazard?
05:43Yes, Hazard County.
05:45Right, we have $350.
05:48And it's your spin.
05:49Okay, Jokers.
05:52Dates and History, TV people, and nicknames.
05:54Uh, I'll take nickname, please, for $50.
05:58Okay.
05:58One of the Frontier Army's most famous scouts earned the nickname Buffalo Bill by bringing
06:03down 11 buffaloes with 12 shots while riding bareback.
06:07He was Buffalo Bill who?
06:09Cody.
06:09Yes, right.
06:10You're at $400.
06:12Okay, Jane.
06:13Okay, let's go.
06:14I'll take currency for $200.

06:34The mint?
06:35Yes, right.
06:35You're absolutely tested.
06:37Goodbye.
06:38See you, Jokers.
06:41Jokers, currency, and privilege.
06:44I'll take currency for $100, please.
06:48Correct answer, again, would bring you a victory.
06:51Because the old Spanish peso was worth a certain number of reals, pirates capturing them as booty
06:57referred to them by a special name.
06:59For $5,925, they were called pieces of what?
07:03Eight.

07:13You've got almost $6,000.
07:15In a moment, I'll give you another crack at that devil.
07:16As for you, Jane, now you're going to have lots of time to go home and fix the washers and these things,
07:21but you played very well.
07:23It's been a lot of fun.
07:23I'm pleased to have had you here.
07:25Backstage will be some nice consolation prize.
07:26A nice hand for Jane Washburn.
07:29And come on over here, Rebecca.
07:34Congratulations.
07:35Well, you're getting used to this now.
07:37You've been over here a couple of times before.

10:35Hank Doney.
10:41Hello, Hank.
10:42How are you?
10:43Nice to have you here, Hank.
10:44Tell us about your business career.
10:46Well, for 20 years, I was with a large computer corporation getting to the position of national sales manager,
10:53and they decided I wanted to make a change.
10:54And what did you do?
10:55I got into the real estate business.
10:57I'm in there now, beginning law school in September.
11:01You're going back to college?
11:03Right.
11:03Isn't that nice?
11:04Isn't that kind of hard to do after you've been out of it for so long?
11:07I would say so at this age, but the idea is not to become a practicing attorney, but to be a better real estate broker.
11:12Very good.
11:13Well, I wish you luck on it, and I applaud your courage and determination, and let's see how you do in our game.

11:40The Japanese word for fried food inspired the name of an Oriental delicacy made by dipping seafood and vegetables in batter and deep frying them.
11:48What name is given to that delicious dish?

11:52That's right.
11:53Tempari is correct.
11:54We have $50.
11:55Jack.
11:56Or, as my Japanese friend would say, hi.
12:00Jack, I believe he said tempari.
12:03Did he?
12:04They're saying you pronounced the word incorrectly, which means I have to disallow it.
12:08We have to take the $50 away.
12:09And, Rebecca, I'm going to give you, since you heard part of the answer, I'm going to give you a question in the category of cooking for $50.
12:16Okay?

13:52Now, watch your pronunciation here, Hank.

13:58prepared as food.
14:00What is the common animal referred to by this uncommon name?
14:03Snail.
14:04Snail is right.
14:05You have said that one right for $300.
14:07Yes, then, Rebecca.

15:06a Joker.
15:07So you take the category actors and substitute it for the Joker for $50, and you're playing
15:11that absolutely accurately because if you miss, you didn't want your opponent to go out
15:15with a $100 or a $200 question.
15:17Whereas if you can answer the question, you'll have $500.

17:54Yeah, I've never been on TV.
17:56You still excited?
17:57Yes.
17:58Not as much so that you have to beat $180.
18:00Well, that's tough.

18:17I see.
18:18You don't want to tell me what you do.
18:20Oh, I'm not.

18:29$180 is a tough one to beat.
18:31$30, $80.
18:33Oh, no.
18:34But it's $110.
18:36So, that's not all that bad.
18:37You have $100.
18:39And $110.
18:41And I want to tell you, that's not Picayune.
18:42And, uh, Pan, you have $80.

18:52We're going to get right back here to Jenry.
18:55Jenry, you already have $180.
18:57Yes.
18:57And now you know what you're going to do.
18:58You're going to spin against the devil.
18:59If you get to $1,000 or more,
19:01in addition to $180,
19:02I'll give you another $1,000 and this gift.
19:04It's a sensational pool table.
19:06For fun and enjoyment,
19:08it's a pool table of a Wellington model
19:10from Golden West Billiards.

19:13plus a looks accessory package
19:14for your playing enjoyment,
19:15all from Golden West Billiards.
19:17This game is worth over $2,050.
19:21Okay, Jenry, give them a spin.
19:25First spin gets $25.
19:27$75 by $75.
19:31$75.
19:32Oh, you're going to risk it.
19:34Well, isn't it a nice, comforting,
19:39consoling thought to know
19:40that you have $180?

19:43And I want to give that to you right now.
19:44There's $100, and there's $150,
19:47and $170, and $180.
19:52You didn't want to win that pool table anyway.
