00:06If he beats this player, he will win his eighth new car,
00:10which will bring his total winnings in cash and prizes close to $296,000.
00:15Will he succeed in winning this next game?
00:18We'll find out in a moment as...
00:21From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun!
00:26It's Tic Tac Doe!
00:29And now, here's our host, Wheat Horseman!
00:33Thank you very much, James Stewart. Hello, everybody. Thank you.
00:37Thank you very much.
00:41Thank you so much.
00:43Of course, because of this big winner, these are tense days, tense moments on Tic Tac Doe.
00:47Can he continue? Willie, we're going to find out now as we carry on.
00:50Here's our champ.
00:51Our current champion is winnings total in cash and prizes $289,850.
00:56As a pilot in the Navy, meet Lieutenant Tom McKee.
01:02And his opponent is a marketing researcher who is taking a class on gourmet cooking.
01:08Meet Pete Johnson.
01:15This is our gourmet cook.
01:16You've been cooking up any specialties since we last saw you?
01:19Well, hamburgers, spaghetti. You can come over to the house sometime and...
01:23What's your favorite dish? What do you like to eat better?
01:25What I personally like, I like veal parmesan.
01:28So is that what you enjoy cooking more than anything?
01:30No, I try to get some of the girls I go out with to cook, but I've been pretty unsuccessful.
01:34Yeah, moving right along.
01:35Pete, welcome to the show.
01:37Hey, welcome.
01:38I'm sorry, it slips me for a moment.
01:40Your name, sir?
01:42Oh, I got it now.
01:43Yeah, Tom McKee.
01:45Anyway, Tom, welcome back to our show.
01:47You have won thus far.
01:48Are you aware of how much you've won?
01:52$289,850 in cash and merchandise.
01:55And an awful lot of that's in cash.
01:57Are you kind of nervous about taking this guy on?
02:00No, he looks like he's about ready to go home, Wink.
02:03Oh, does he really?
02:04Tom, were you aware of that?
02:06Huh? Were you aware of that?
02:07I don't know.
02:07I must not have been getting much sleep lately.
02:10Well, good luck to you both, and may the best win win.
02:12Here we go.
02:19All right, we didn't have time to get the game started in the last show, so let's take a look
02:22at the categories right now.
02:23Tom and Pete, if you will, gander at the board, and here they are.
02:26Suitable titles, World War II, Situation Comedies, State Capitals, Astrology, Male Singers, Potluck Pictures, Chemistry, and Fairy Tales.
02:35Tom, I guess this must seem like a fairy tale to you from time to time.
02:39Oh, definitely, definitely, Wink.
02:40Where would you like to start in this game?
02:41It's not my strong suit, but I'll try astrology in the center.
02:44In the center.
02:45You have a penchant for that center box.
02:46For a center box and an X and $300 for the pot, here's the question, Tom.
02:50I'll describe two terms that are important to an astrologer, and you tell me their names.
02:55First, the astrological forecast, which comes from the Greek words meaning to look at time.
03:03Secondly, the term astrologers use to describe the 12 signs, which come from the Greek word for animal sign.
03:11Think about that.
03:21For that center box and astrology, again, I'll describe two terms that are important to an astrologer.
03:26You tell me their names.
03:27Tom, one.
03:28The astrological forecast, which comes from the Greek words meaning to look at time.
03:33I believe you're looking for a horoscope.
03:34Horoscope is the correct answer.
03:36To complete the answer for that center box, the term astrologers use to describe the 12 signs, which comes from
03:42the Greek word for animal sign.
03:45The zodiac.
03:45Yes.
03:46That's it for the center box.
03:48Put it next there, $300 in a pot.
03:51Let's move to categories.
03:52As we shuffle, we shuffle on back to Pete.
03:54First time out, Pete.
03:55What's it going to be?
03:56All right, Wink.
03:56I'd like to go to state capitals.
03:58State capitals.
03:59Here's your question, Pete.
04:01Literally translated from the French, the name of this southern capital is Red Stick.
04:06Name this capital city.
04:09Montpellier.
04:10No, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
04:13Literally translated from the French, the name of the southern capital is Red Stick.
04:17Baton Rouge.
04:18Let's move the categories around.
04:19We shuffle with $300 in the pot.
04:21Tom.
04:23Wink.
04:24I think I want to try World War II in the bottom right.
04:26All righty.
04:27Here's the question, Tom.
04:28On May 8, 1945, the free world celebrated as one phase of World War II came to an end.
04:35Let me repeat that, because I goofed it.
04:37On May 8, 1945, the free world celebrated as one phase of World War II came to an end.
04:43By what two letters was this day known?
04:46Oh, boy.
04:47Uh, V-J Day?
04:49No, V-E Day.
04:50Ah, shoot.
04:51For victory in Europe.
04:52V-E Day.
04:53So once again, still $300 in the pot.
04:55One X on the board.
04:56That in the center.
04:57Let's shuffle.
05:00Pete Johnson.
05:00Okay, I'd like to, uh, I'm going to give it another shot at state capitals.
05:05All right.
05:05State capitals in the category.
05:06This question, Pete.
05:07During the 1800s, which western state capital joined the Atchison and Topeka Railroad?
05:14Atchison and Topeka, Kansas.
05:16Uh, what?
05:18Santa Fe.
05:19The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe.
05:22They wrote a famous song about it.
05:23Let's move the categories again.
05:25$300 in the pot.
05:26Back to you, Tom McKee.
05:29Oh, jeez.
05:30Uh, Wink, I think I'm going to go with astrology again in the upper left.
05:35Again, in astrology, this question, Bob Dylan, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe were all
05:40born under this sign, whose characteristics include restless energy.
05:45Its symbol is the heavenly twins.
05:47Name it.
05:48Gemini.
05:49Yes.
05:50Gemini.
05:51Leans another X on the board, and we shuffle them around again.
05:54$500 pot we're playing for, Pete.
05:56Wink.
05:57I don't have any choice.
05:58It's not my strongest category, but fairy tales.
06:00All right.
06:00For a diagonal block of Tom, Pete, answer this.
06:02When the wicked queen asked her magic mirror, who is the fairest of us all, the mirror replied
06:08with the name of the queen's stepdaughter.
06:11For a diagonal block of our champion, name her stepdaughter.
06:17Uh, let's see.
06:19Snow White.
06:20Snow White.
06:20Snow White.
06:22So we still have $500 in the pot.
06:25Two X's, no O's yet on the board.
06:27And at this point in this critical game, we'll pause and return in a moment.
06:42So far, Lieutenant Tom McKee has won seven of these very special prizes, one of the best
06:47that we give on Tic-Tac-Toe.
06:48It happens when a champion defeats five opponents.
06:51If he defeats this current opponent, he'll win number eight.
06:54Tell us about it, Jay.
06:55For your driving pleasure, Tom, another brand new car.
07:04Eight digits.
07:06However, let's get to first things first, and that's defeating Pete.
07:09Let's see if you can do it.
07:10As we look at the board, I remind you, we have $500 in the pot, two X's on the board,
07:15and we shuffle.
07:19Tom.
07:21Wink, I'm going to go with state capitals in the top right.
07:24Top right corner of the board on state capitals.
07:27This question, the capital city of Washington State is an important commercial port and
07:31boasts such major industries as brewing, food processing, and the manufacturing of lumber
07:36products.
07:37Name it.
07:38Olympia.
07:38Right.
07:39Olympia, Washington.
07:40So X goes in state capitals and reshuffle again, putting another $200 in the pot.
07:46Pete, you need to do some fast catching up.
07:49All right.
07:50I don't, I think television.
07:51We're going to go with sitcoms in the lower left-hand corner.
07:54Situation comedies.
07:55All right.
07:56In that category, Pete, try this one on for size.
07:58On this comedy police show, Steve Landsberg plays detective Arthur Dietrich, and Ron Carey
08:04portrays officer Carl Levitt.
08:07For a block, name this long-running sitcom.
08:10All right.
08:10Barney Miller.
08:11Yes, that's right.
08:12Quick for your first O on the board for a diagonal block.
08:15Quick for one block on the board as we put an O there and $900 in the pot.
08:19Let's move the categories.
08:20A quick shuffle takes us back to the lieutenant once again.
08:26Wink, I'll try astrology in the lower right.
08:29Astrology is the subject.
08:31I would remind you a correct answer to this question would give you $1,100 in cash.
08:37You would then win your eighth, count them, eighth car.
08:41You would have a total of $296,350 in cash and prizes, Tom.
08:48And this is the question for all of that on the subject of astrology.
08:54This proud sign of the zodiac is symbolized by the lion and the color gold.
09:01For tic-tac-doe and a total of $296,350, name this sign.
09:10Leo.
09:11You got it.
09:31I'm sure if you're regular viewers of tic-tac-doe, you recognize the lady who just ran on from
09:35her position in the audience right there on the first row.
09:38You've been out there a lot of shows, Jenny.
09:40I know it.
09:40Does it get to be more exciting, or have you gotten accustomed to doing this from time
09:45to time?
09:46Oh, I don't know.
09:46It varies sometimes.
09:48Do you sometimes find yourself having to pinch yourself to wake up, see if this is all happening
09:51to you, too?
09:52All the time.
09:54$296,350 in cash and merchandise.
09:57And with every dollar you add to that total, that makes that record harder to reach for somebody
10:03else.
10:04Because as you well know, you are by far the biggest game show winners of all time, Tom
10:09and Jenny McKee, congratulations to you.
10:11Let's say goodbye to Pete.
10:13Pete, you had a couple of chances there.
10:15You missed a couple of questions in a row back there at the beginning of the game.
10:18So I guess it's what, back to the pots and pans for you and a little cooking, huh?
10:21Well, immediately it'll be the Greyhound bus home.
10:24I don't think I'm getting a ride home.
10:25You're a good sport.
10:26We have a couple of nice prizes for you to take with you under your arm on that Greyhound
10:29bus.
10:30And good luck to you.
10:31Pete Johnson, everybody.
10:34All right, Jenny and Tom, let's see if we can beat the dragon again.
10:36Come on over.
10:41Gold-plated jeans, I see you, huh?
10:46Gold-plated jeans, though.
10:48Hey, welcome back.
10:48And, of course, you know the story of this board.
10:51You've defeated the dragon more times than you have not defeated him.
10:55Behind the numbers, the various amounts of money and a tick and a tack and, of course,
10:58the monster.
10:59Reach $1,000 or more and, or get the tick and the tack and you win a prize package.
11:04Now, I don't know what you haven't won that we have to offer.
11:07Let's see.
11:07I'll tell you what let's do.
11:08Let's dive into prizes designed to help you enjoy the water.
11:12Okay?
11:12Fair enough?
11:12All right, Jay.
11:13Okay, first, Tom, you'll race along the water in this exciting new canoe.
11:18Explore the lakes with a tripper canoe.
11:19Float like a butterfly out of perilous straits.
11:21This canoe has the answers.
11:23High-performance rocker with a touch of hand workmanship.
11:25Old-town canoe, a classic canoe builder.
11:28And then that lovely lady in your life will make a splash in this new swimwear.
11:32Flexitard laotards for swimming, exercising, or disco dancing with coordinated pants and skirts.
11:37Contour-forming fabrics in iridescent jewel-toned colors.
11:40Sensuous body designs by Gilda for Flexitard.
11:44Then take the plunge and record underwater activities with his aquatic camera.
11:48The Yumik Nautica is the biggest splash in Super 8 in years.
11:52At home anywhere and even underwater.
11:53Nautic by Yumika.
11:55And finally, Tom, you'll never enjoy the water more than when you're swimming off the shore of Tahiti.
12:04Yes, you'll bask in the sun while surrounded by beautiful beaches, blue lagoons, coconut palms,
12:12in an exciting island atmosphere you'll never forget.
12:15It'll be nine sensational days in the South Pacific.
12:18Compliments of Club Universe.
12:20And, Tom, this aquatic package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $3,550.
12:32And, by the way, if your cash exceeds $1,000, that means that your winnings will be beyond the $300
12:39,000 mark.
12:41So, good luck to you both.
12:43Avoid the dragon, of course, or you lose everything.
12:45Get the tick and the tack, and you automatically get the dough.
12:48Let's shuffle them around, cover them up, and let's begin.
12:52Yeah, how about that, Jenny?
12:53Jenny, need we ask, she has always started with number seven.
12:56Maybe she'll change her mind this time.
12:57What is your pleasure, my dear?
12:58Gosh, why should I?
12:59It's been good so far.
13:00Seven.
13:00All right, number seven, what do you have for Jenny and Tom?
13:02Let's take a look behind seven.
13:05$250 in cash.
13:07All righty, getting closer and closer to that $300,000 mark.
13:11Jackie says eight.
13:12Jackie says number eight.
13:13They're going to go with Jackie.
13:15Let's look behind number eight.
13:16Next door to number seven and nine.
13:18$500.
13:18You're up to $750.
13:21I'm going to go with number three.
13:23Number three?
13:24Move on with that, Tom.
13:25All right.
13:25Number three, what do you have for Tom and Jenny?
13:28You win again.
13:35Congratulations.
13:37Congratulations to you, Tom.
13:39Wow, that is incredible.
13:40Congratulations once again to you both.
13:42Simply amazing.
13:43And you don't, visibly, you don't seem like you ever get tired of doing this.
13:48I don't think so.
13:49That's not possible.
13:50It's tough to get tired of this, believe me.
13:51Where was the dragon?
13:52Where would you say, if you called out a number, you had one, two, four, five, six, and nine?
13:54Six.
13:55Number six.
13:56All right.
13:56What was behind number six?
13:57Let's take a look.
13:58Was it the dragon?
13:58No, $100.
13:59See, you can be wrong.
14:01Oh, I know.
14:01But you're always wrong in the right places.
14:02Let's look behind.
14:03You say number two?
14:04All right.
14:04Quick gander at number two.
14:05He says the dragon was behind number two.
14:07$150.
14:08Oh, you guys.
14:09Oh, well.
14:09Let me say four.
14:10Take a look at the rest of them.
14:11I say it was behind number four.
14:12And I have no idea.
14:19I've played tic-tac-toe.
14:20All right.
14:21You have now, in cash and prizes, a grand total.
14:25You know, I missed it by a few bucks.
14:26I said you'd go over $300 if you won this.
14:28But you got close.
14:30Bob Newhart used to say when he was accounted on his old Bob Newhart show.
14:33If you get close with your numbers, that's okay.
14:35You have a grand total of $299,950 in cash and merchandise.
14:42We'll be back with our next game of tic-tac-toe in just a moment.
14:53And now, here's Wink Martindale.
14:54Okay, let's just do a quick review here, Tom.
14:56You've won eight cars so far.
14:58And including ties, this next game will be your 81st game.
15:0381 games.
15:04And if you defeat this next opponent, your winnings will then be over $300,000 in cash and prizes.
15:11So, let's meet that opponent.
15:12Who is it, Jay?
15:13She's an administrator for a therapy program for the handicapped.
15:16And she enjoys raising animals.
15:18Meet Laurie Lipton.
15:27Feel any pressure on you, Laurie, as you walk out here?
15:29Cool as a cucumber.
15:31All right.
15:31Tell me about the therapy program you're involved in.
15:34Well, we work with adolescents and adults who have emotional handicaps
15:37and try to teach them skills so that they can become more independent and successful in their own right.
15:42Sounds like very rewarding work.
15:44You like to work with animals?
15:45Ah, yes, I do.
15:47Um, we only have two animals now.
15:49But when I lived in New York, I raised a little chicken in my apartment.
15:53A chicken in your apartment?
15:54Couldn't you find a cheap chicken hotel?
15:56No, no.
15:58Get the yolk.
16:00It's a hard-boiled audience, just like the audience we had yesterday.
16:04I'm going to clear this place, but I'll do it later.
16:06Right now, let's play the game.
16:07Laurie, Tom, take a look.
16:08Here are the subjects for this game of Tic-Tac-Toe.
16:10Great Britain.
16:11Famous actors.
16:12Colors.
16:13Nicknames.
16:13Wild West.
16:14Foreign words.
16:15Disney.
16:16Art.
16:16And Bobs and Roberts.
16:17Tom?
16:18Why don't we try Wild West in the center?
16:19Okay, for $300 to the pot, Tom, and a little extra time for your answer, I'll describe two
16:24famous towns of the Old West, and you name the states in which they're located.
16:28One, name the state in which the notorious silver mining town of Tombstone is located.
16:33Secondly, name the states, Tom?
16:35Why don't we try Wild West in the center?
16:37Okay, for $300 to the pot, Tom, and a little extra time for your answer, I'll describe two
16:41famous towns of the Old West, and you name the states in which they're located.
16:44One, name the state in which the notorious silver mining town of Tombstone is located.
16:50Secondly, name the state Dodge City, the queen of the cow towns is located.
16:55Here's some extra time.
17:05Looking for states of two famous towns of the Old West, name the state in which the notorious
17:11silver mining town of Tombstone is located.
17:13Arizona.
17:14Right.
17:14Name the state in which Dodge City, queen of the cow towns, is located.
17:18I think that's Kansas.
17:19You're right.
17:20Dodge City, Kansas, and Tombstone, Arizona.
17:24Put her next to the center box, three head in the pot, and let's move them around.
17:27Time to give Laurie Lipton her first opportunity at Tom.
17:31All right, I'll try Great Britain in the bottom left.
17:37In the category on Great Britain, Laurie, here's the question.
17:39The oldest university in Great Britain includes the colleges of St. John's and Trinity.
17:44This university grants such awards as the Marshall and Rhodes Scholarships.
17:50Name it.
17:50Name it.
17:51Is that Oxford?
17:52Yes.
17:52Oxford University.
17:54Put an O there, let's shuffle.
17:56$500 in the pot.
17:57$500 in the pot.
17:57Tom, your turn.
17:59Wink, why don't we try nicknames in the left center?
18:01Nicknames, it'll be.
18:02Tom, this eastern state bears the nickname the Quaker State to commemorate the fact that
18:07it was founded by a prominent Quaker.
18:10Name this state.
18:11Pennsylvania.
18:12Right.
18:12Founded by William Penn.
18:13Put him up there, let's shuffle.
18:16In the pot.
18:17$700, Laurie.
18:19I guess I'll go to Great Britain to block.
18:20Got you on the run already.
18:21Defensively, Laurie, answer this and you'll block him.
18:24This sea, which is located off the eastern shore of England and Scotland, was the site
18:29of one of the world's important oil finds in recent history.
18:33To block Tom, name the sea.
18:35Is that the North Sea?
18:36Yes.
18:36We'll block the North Sea.
18:38Put it over there, let's shuffle.
18:40Move it around.
18:41We need another $200 in the pot, Tom.
18:43Wink, let's try the Wild West on the bottom right.
18:46Here's the question on the Wild West.
18:48The Outlaws, known as the Younger Brothers, rode stirrup to stirrup with this legendary
18:52gang, which was headed by brothers Frank and Jesse.
18:56Name this gang.
18:56The James Gang.
18:57Yes, the James Gang.
18:59An F goes in that box.
19:01We have four boxes left.
19:03Another $200 in the pot takes it to $1,100 as we move them around again.
19:09Laurie.
19:10No choice but foreign words for the block.
19:12For a diagonal block, answer this question on foreign words.
19:15First, take a look at this foreign word, Laurie.
19:18This is the Spanish word for a large and often dangerous animal.
19:22For a diagonal block of Tom, name it.
19:24That's the bull.
19:25Yes.
19:26You blocked it.
19:27Toro, a bull.
19:28So, we put an O there and another $200 in the pot.
19:32And we're going to pause in Tom's try to break the $300,000 mark on Tic-Tac-Doe, and we'll
19:38be back shortly.
19:44Let's take one good look at the board.
19:46We see that Laurie Lipton, so far, has matched Tom answer for answer.
19:51Three O's on the board to match his three X's.
19:54Laurie, good luck as we meet you next time.
19:56Tom, continued success to you, so far, with $299,950.
20:01Going to have to wait until our next show to find out if he indeed breaks the $300,000 mark.
20:06Join us then.
20:07Bye, everybody.
20:34Tic-Tac-Doe is with Jack Berry and Dan Inlite.
20:37Productions.
21:07You
