00:00From Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen, it's the Joker's Wild.
00:13And now, here's the host of the show, Jack Barry.
00:22Thank you very much and welcome to the Joker's Wild.
00:25We have another young lady who is on her way up the ladder.
00:29She's won four games.
00:31We didn't get a chance to do a bonus game, so we have to do that right now.
00:34But she's already won four games, so Charlie, would you reintroduce the current champion?
00:37Our current champion, whose winnings in cash and prizes total $6,425.
00:43She's a theatrical stage manager and newlywed who enjoys quilting, cooking, and photography.
00:48Rebecca Klein.
00:54Rebecca, welcome back to the Joker's Wild.
00:56You've had a wonderful streak.
00:57You've won four games. You have $6,425.
01:00And you are going to play against the devil and then go into your all-important fifth game.
01:06Because if you can win in that fifth game, you'd also win an automobile.
01:10Will an automobile be helpful to a stage manager such as you are?
01:14Yes, a stage manager and a newlywed both need an automobile.
01:17Both. Well, we'll hear more about that, but let's right now see if you can beat the devil.
01:20Come on over here and try it.
01:21Congratulations. You've played this before. Several times you've beaten the devil, a couple times he beat you.
01:30Once again, if you can get to $1,000 or more without seeing the devil, I'll give you another $1,000 and these gifts.
01:34Rebecca, all work and no play is no fun, so we've lined up for you two fabulous playgrounds.
01:41First, Rebecca, say goodbye to your playmates and get set for the fabulous fun in Las Vegas.
01:46Nevada's largest city with its large, luxurious gambling casinos, busy nightlife, elaborate shows that attract visitors from all parts of the world.
01:53We'll fly you there via Western Airlines to Las Vegas, Nevada, America's favorite playground.
01:58Enjoy warm hospitality and friendly service. That's the Western way.
02:01While there, you'll stay a week at the Hacienda Hotel in Las Vegas.
02:04850 beautiful rooms, including a new 300-room tower.
02:08Enjoy fire and ice, America's most lavish, high-spectacular.
02:11Gourmet dining in the charcoal room, the new-look Hacienda Las Vegas.
02:15Next, pack up these fabulous fashions from Beeline.
02:18With the fashion shows that come to your home, an assortment of the latest women's and family high-quality versatile fashions.
02:23For Rebecca, playtime's not over yet.
02:25We're sending you to the playground of the jet set.
02:28You'll soon be enjoying the fun of...
02:30Magical Monte Carlo!
02:33Save with a luxury and high-style excitement of this capital city of Monaco.
02:38Playground of kings with its elegant casinos, picturesque harbor and opulent villas.
02:42You'll spend eight days in this world-famous jet setter's paradise.
02:45Monte Carlo, provided by American Express Vacation Stores' offices worldwide.
02:50This playground's package is worth in cash and prizes over $4,000!
02:55Okay, Rebecca, do it.
03:00First bid, 100.
03:05You've really had kind of tough luck against the devil.
03:08Nonetheless, you are winning $6,425.
03:11You now will go into game number five.
03:13Play very carefully, because if you can win this game, in addition to everything else, you'll win an automobile.
03:18We'll do that in just a moment.
03:26Game number five, the all-important game where somebody can win an automobile.
03:30That's somebody being Rebecca Klein.
03:32If she can beat who, Charlie?
03:34Jack, she's a kindergarten teacher who enjoys yoga, houseplants, and traveling to obscure places.
03:40Cheryl Coster!
03:40Hello, Cheryl.
03:46How are you?
03:47I'm fine, thank you.
03:47Tell us about your teaching career.
03:49Well, I teach for L.A. City Schools, and I've been teaching nine years, and the last two I've been teaching kindergarten.
03:55You like that?
03:56I like kindergarten a lot, yeah.
03:57My mother was a school teacher, and she taught in the early grades, but not kindergarten.
04:01And why do you like kindergarten so much better than the others?
04:05Well, in kindergarten, they come in not knowing very much, and they walk out learning a lot, and a lot of them learn how to read for the first time, and that's exciting.
04:14That is very exciting.
04:15And I'll tell you, it's very important that you know how to read on this program as well.
04:19And if you can, I caution you to play very carefully in this game, because this game, a car is at stake.
04:24Not for you, but for Rebecca, and of course, you'd like to beat her.
04:27Here are the categories.
04:29They are Fast Forward Geography.
04:30I'll explain that in a moment.
04:31Followed by Jackson Johns, Ancient History, Games, and finally, All About Authors.
04:37You're up first, Cheryl Costner.
04:39Spin and good luck.
04:40Okay.
04:43Jackson Johns, Fast Forward Geography and a Joker.
04:46If you take Fast Forward Geography, you may answer as many questions as you like.
04:49Okay, I will take Fast Forward Geography for 100.
04:53Five correct answers could win you the game, but Rebecca does get her final turn.
04:58On a trip to this southwestern state, your route might take you to the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest.
05:06Name the state.
05:07Arizona.
05:08Right, for $100.
05:12Now, you can stop with $100, or you can play for $200 or nothing.
05:17I'll go on.
05:18All right, for $200 or nothing.
05:20One Rocky Mountain state is home of Shoshone, our first national forest.
05:25Devil's Tower, our first national monument.
05:29And much of Yellowstone, our first national park.
05:33For $200 or nothing, name the state.
05:36Montana.
05:36That is not correct.
05:38You go back down to zero, and you'll win $100 if you can tell me, Rebecca.
05:42Nevada?
05:42Nope.
05:43Wyoming.
05:44Wyoming.
05:45Your spin, Rebecca.
05:47Come on, Jokers.
05:49All About Authors, Ancient History, and Games.
05:53I'll take Games, please, for 50.
05:54In the game of Blackjack, or 21, all the face cards are worth the same number of points.
06:00How many points is each face card worth?

06:03That's right.
06:04You have $50.
06:06And you're on your way to a car.
06:08Your spin, Cheryl.
06:09Yes.

06:29Right.

06:30Rebecca.
06:32Okay.
06:33This is Joker.
06:34Joker.
06:35Fast Forward Geography.
06:36Oh, a triple.
06:37Uh, Fast Forward Geography for 200, please.
06:43Okay.
06:45Three correct answers.
06:46We'll win you the game, and we'll win you an automobile.
06:52Ayers Rock, A-Y-E-R-S Rock, is one of the largest exposed blocks of stone in the world,
06:57and the Great Barrier Reef is the longest reef in the world.
07:01In which country are these natural wonders?
07:04Australia.
07:04That's right.
07:05You have $250.
07:09You do have a choice.
07:10You can stop at $250, or you can go on and risk it.
07:13I'll go on.
07:14Okay.
07:15For $450, or back to $50,
07:18the United States Navy maintains a strategic base at Guantanamo Bay
07:22at the eastern end of this 750-mile-long island in the Caribbean.
07:28Name the island.
07:33Can't do it?
07:35You go back to $50, and you pick up $200 if you can give me the island, Cheryl.
07:41Um,
07:43Oahu.
07:45Boy, that was close.
07:46Cuba.
07:49I guess you don't spend too much time with geography with those little kids, right?
07:52No, not the five-year-olds.
07:54Scores 100 to 50, and it's your spin, Cheryl.
07:59Ancient history, games on a joker.
08:01I'll take games for 100.
08:03You're watching the World Cup competition,

08:11who scores against Mexico's goalkeeper.
08:13Name the game you're watching.
08:15Highlight?
08:16No.
08:16$100, you can tell me, Rebecca.
08:18Soccer.
08:18Soccer is right, and you are $150.
08:21And it's your spin.
08:23Okay, here we go.
08:25Joker, password geography and games.
08:29Uh, I'll take games for 100, please.
08:31In this outdoor lawn game,
08:33players use mallets to hit balls through narrow arches called wickets.
08:37The name of the game comes from the French word for a little hook.
08:40Name the game.
08:41Croquet.
08:42Right, you have $250.
08:45Go up the end of the round, $150.
08:47You're a spin, Cheryl.
08:48Okay.
08:51Jackson Johns, games on ancient history.
08:54I'll take games for $50.
08:56Schmendefair is a variation of a European casino game
08:58in which players attempt to build a point count of nine using two or three cards.
09:04Name that card game.

09:06That's correct.
09:07And you have $150.
09:08Rebecca.
09:09Okay.

09:21Okay.
09:23This Indonesian river passes through...
09:25That's Indo-Chinese, Jackson.
09:26Excuse me.
09:27This Indo-Chinese river passes through Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh,
09:32and Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City.
09:35Name the river.
09:37The Mekong.
09:38That's right.
09:38You have $150.
09:42You have a big decision now.
09:44You have $450.
09:45She has $150.
09:45You could stop and pass the dice over to her.
09:49Or you could go on and try for the win,
09:51knowing if you miss it, you give her a golden opportunity.
09:54I'll pass it.
09:56Okay.
09:57Score remains $150 to $450.
09:59And we're going to find out in just a moment which of these ladies wins.
10:01Some of our departing contestants will receive success.
10:09Boil and bag rice.
10:10Perfect every time.
10:11Once you've tasted success, nothing else will do.
10:14Also, Golden Champale is love, feeling, celebration.
10:17The classic drink with a bold, sophisticated taste.
10:19Very nice on ice.
10:21Let Golden Champale take you beyond from Iroquois brands.
10:24Plus, what's a Pizza Rolls brand party snack?
10:26Hot and juicy chunks of everything you love about pizza.
10:29Rolled into one roll.
10:30One of Gino's fine Italian foods.
10:32Jack, back to you.
10:33Well, we have an automobile at stake.
10:36Determined maybe by the spin of a wheel.
10:38The score is $150 to $450.
10:40You're still in there, Cheryl, but she's knocking on the door.
10:43She can do it in her next turn.
10:45Up to you.
10:45Give them a spin, Cheryl.
10:46Hey, jokers.
10:49Joker, joker.
10:51Woo!
10:51Woo!
10:55Woo!
10:55Woo!
10:56Woo!
10:57Woo!
10:57Woo!
10:58Woo!
10:58Woo!
10:58Woo!
10:58Woo!
10:58Woo!
11:00Woo!
11:00Woo!
11:01Woo!
11:04That doesn't happen very often, either.
11:06A big, big disappointment for Rebecca.
11:08However, you still have to answer a question.
11:10Which category do you want to play?
11:12Games.
11:12Games.
11:14Correct answer here will win you the game and thwart Rebecca in her pursuit of the automobile.
11:19But if you miss the question, the game goes on and she's only $50 away.
11:23I ask the audience, please.
11:25The idea of this game is simple.
11:27Keep hitting a ball over a net.
11:29You can play it indoors or on the beach, and you might hear the term spiking and side out.
11:35For $500 and the championship, name the game.
11:39Basketball.
11:44I'm sorry, the answer is volley.
11:47You probably don't play games with the kids either.
11:50Volleyball, and look at that smile on Rebecca's face.
11:52She is saved.
11:54Your spin, Rebecca.
11:56Okay.
11:56Age and history, fast-forward geography, and a pair.
12:02I'll take fast-forward geography, please, for $100.
12:05Okay.
12:06This correct answer will win you the game, another $500, will win you a car, will win you a chance to play a bonus game.
12:15You'd be winning almost $13,000, including the car, and the bonus game is still to be played.
12:22Here is the question.
12:23I caution the audience.
12:24The island called Greenland is actually a province of a Scandinavian country, which is located 1,300 miles to the east.
12:34For $12,725, including a car, name the Scandinavian country.
12:42Norway?
12:43That is not correct.
12:45You'll pick up $100 if you can tell me, Cheryl.
12:47Sweden.
12:48That's incorrect, too.
12:50You girls have a 100% average for wrong answers here.
12:53The answer is Denmark, Denmark.
12:56But you're still in the game, Cheryl.
12:57Maybe you can get three Jokers again.
12:59Go ahead.
13:00Jokers.
13:02Games.
13:03A pair and a triple.
13:04Well, I hope I have better luck with games this time.
13:12Games for $200.
13:13An ancient game has become something of a fad recently.
13:16Players roll dice to move their 15 men around on a total of 24 points to their home table and then off the board.
13:24Name that game.
13:25I know that well.
13:26Backgammon.
13:27That's right.
13:27You have $350.
13:31Rebecca, you have another shot at it.
13:33Okay.
13:34Come on.
13:35Joker.
13:36Jackson Johns, all about authors.
13:40I will take Jackson Johns, please, for $50.
13:45Okay.
13:45In 1945, an American Army officer named John was shot while serving in China.
13:53Thirteen years later, a society dedicated to fighting communism took his name.
13:59For $12,725, this society was named for John who?
14:05Birch.
14:05You win $12,725.
14:18Congratulations to Rebecca Pye.
14:20You've won everything, including a car.
14:22And here's Charlie O'Donnell to tell you about the car you just won.
14:24Rebecca, for your driving pleasure from Sean Law's Chevrolet, it's this brand new car.
14:32Congratulations to the Joker's Wild.
14:35That's for you, Cheryl.
14:36You're in a very fine game.
14:38Unfortunately, we have nothing for you but some nice consolation prize.
14:40A nice hand for Cheryl as she leads the game.
14:42And do we have time for this one later to play our bonus game?
14:47We do.
14:47Come on over here, Rebecca.
14:48Congratulations, Rebecca.
14:53Now you have a car.
14:54You said you were newlywed.
14:55How long are you married?
14:57Let's see.
14:58Exactly one month today.
14:59Oh, isn't that a nice gift to have?
15:01Now you see that you win the trip to Vegas, the men's and women's fashions, the trip to
15:04Monte Carlo.
15:05That would be a marvelous honeymoon, wouldn't it?
15:07All told, you could end up this thing winning over $17,000.
15:11All set to go?
15:12Give them a spin.
15:13Here we go.
15:17$25.
15:19Lady Luck's not with you here.
15:21But you do have $12,725.
15:24And, of course, you get a chance to start for another five games.
15:26We'll do that on the next program because I want to go out in the studio audience and
15:28give them a chance to win.
15:29Nice hand for this very lucky I made.
15:36Studio audience to face the devil.
15:38Who are they, Charlie?
15:39Jack, we're looking for Josie Murchison.
15:41Jim Stahl.
15:53And Sheila Davis.
16:02Here's your chance to face the devil.
16:07Hello, Sheila.
16:08How are you?
16:08Hello.
16:09Where's your home?
16:10Jamaica.
16:11Jamaica what?
16:11In the West Indies.
16:12Oh, in the West Indies.
16:13I thought maybe Jamaica, Long Island, New York.
16:14Somebody else asked me that.
16:16Yeah?
16:17Who was that?
16:18I think it was the one dummy you hired.
16:27You mean our director, Richard Klein?
16:32You know how to play this game, don't you?
16:33Yes.
16:34I want you to give it a spin and try to get a high number.
16:36Here you go.
16:37Jim Spinson gets 30, 50, and 80.
16:41All right.
16:42That's pretty good.
16:43Hi, Jim.
16:45Where are you from?
16:45Orange.
16:46Orange County.
16:47What do you do out there?
16:47The heavy equipment operator.
16:49Beg your pardon?
16:49Heavy equipment operator.
16:50Okay.
16:51See if you can get a heavy number up there.
16:53Jim Spinson gets 30, 70, and 120.
16:57That's pretty good.
17:00Hello, Josie.
17:01Hello.
17:01Where are you from, Josie?
17:02Well, my home is in Natchez, Mississippi, but I live in Los Angeles.
17:06Well, Natchez, that's a romantic-sounding place.
17:08Is it a nice town?
17:09Yeah.
17:10Yeah, just a nice town to be away from.
17:15You said it.
17:16I didn't.
17:16Give them a spin, Josie.
17:17See if you can beat $120.
17:18$10, $30, no, $60.
17:23You win.
17:24Give them $60.
17:26There is 50 of it.
17:2950 and 60.
17:32And that's yours.
17:33And right back here to Sheila.
17:36Sheila, who was talking to our friend Mark Smith, who was one of the intellectuals of this program.
17:39And, uh, get 50 and 70 and 80.
17:46And, uh, that's yours.
17:49And we get back now to you, Jim.
17:51You have $120.
17:52That's yours no matter what happens.
17:54If you go through now and beat the devil, you get $1,000 more and these gifts.
17:58It's a fabulous bedroom suite.
18:01A five-piece casual contemporary-style bedroom with triple dresser and chest.
18:05Natural oak graining blended with functional brass pulls creates subdued sophistication.
18:10By Broyhill.
18:11This game is worth over $2,000.
18:15Sound good, Jim?
18:16Okay, sounds great.
18:17Okay, give them a spin.
18:2025, 75.
18:24175.
18:27We're gonna go.
18:28Risky it.
18:3075, 100.
18:35Well, that's not too good, is it, Jim?
18:38No, not at all.
18:39Yeah.
18:39And you had some nice young ladies here with you?
18:41Yes.
18:42My wife and her friend, Brenda, and her mother.
18:43My mother.
18:44Oh, dear.
18:44And they're all gonna be disappointed?
18:46Mm-hmm.
18:46Aren't you lucky that you had the $120 now?
18:49Yes.
18:49We're gonna give that to you, first of all, so you can take the ladies out and have a nice little dinner or something.
18:54Yeah, see that?
18:56There's $120 for you.
18:58And we want to remind everybody around the country that not everybody is as unlucky as Jim was.
19:02And if you'd like to be here in our studio audience, you really, we have a fairly small studio audience.
19:07You really should write well in advance, particularly if you're planning to make a trip from Cincinnati or Cleveland or Columbus or Detroit or wherever.
19:13And if you're planning to be here in our studio audience and would like to be here and play against the devil, here's the address to which you must write.
19:18If you would like information on how to be a contestant on The Joker's Wild or to join us here in the studio audience, drop a postcard and please make sure it's a postcard.
19:28Drop it to The Joker's Wild, Post Office Box 227, Los Angeles, California, 90048.
19:36That's The Joker's Wild, Post Office Box 227, Los Angeles, California, 90048.
19:45Back to you, Jack.
19:46And I know a lot of people around the country who are planning to make trips here to Los Angeles and say, ah, they never pick me.
19:53Now, tell me the truth, Jim.
19:54Did you expect to be picked?
19:55No, not at all.
19:56Did you know when you were coming here that there was even a remote possibility you'd be picked?
20:00No, I went to the Price is Right today and didn't do no good.
20:03Oh, so you tried two shows, eh?
20:07Uh-huh.
20:08Well, you made, I guess, 50% of the time you made one of them, right?
20:10Right.
20:11Were you picked as a contestant on The Price is Right or were you just in the studio audience?
20:14No, just in the studio audience.
