00:00Here are our champions. They're three of a kind.
00:04Hi, I'm Lisa Suska.
00:06I'm Teresa Colvin.
00:08I'm Mary Lynn Simano.
00:10And we're dental hygienists.
00:12And here are our challengers. They're also three of a kind.
00:17Hi, I'm Cheryl Walensky.
00:19I'm Nancy Safford.
00:20I'm Lisa Jackson.
00:22And we're waitresses.
00:24And they're here to play Hots.
00:29Potato!
00:31And here to toss the hot potato, our host, Bill Cullen!
00:39Thank you all very much, and welcome to Hot Potato.
00:42It is our pleasure to have you back.
00:44We'll talk to you in just a moment about how the game works and things like that.
00:47But first, let me sum up briefly.
00:49Our waitresses, who are brand new to our show, have won round one,
00:52and they can win it with two rounds.
00:54And our hygienists have not won a round yet in this particular game.
00:58But they did win the last one, and they have $1,000.
01:00If they get up to our bonus game, they'll be going for $10,000.
01:03Let me just start off learning a little bit more about you.
01:06You're all dental hygienists.
01:08You've been in the business for some years.
01:10When you meet a man, Mary, what truly, what is the first thing about him that you notice?
01:14Oh, it's got to be his teeth.
01:15I would think so.
01:17Teresa, how about you?
01:18His smile.
01:19And naturally, the teeth, which go along with his mouth.
01:22Sometimes mine go along.
01:23Other times, I leave them home.
01:25Lisa, you.
01:26Is it unanimous?
01:28I would say his face in general.
01:30Face?
01:30But you do sort of concentrate on the teeth.
01:32Everything, really.
01:33You see, that's to each his own last, as it were.
01:36Now, let me, to get a sort of a different opinion, let me go to our waitresses here.
01:41Sharon, when you meet a man, what do you look at?
01:44Tell them.
01:44His chest.
01:47His chest?
01:48Well, do you want a sunken in chest?
01:50No, I don't want a sunken in chest.
01:53I'm going to get hated out of this.
01:55No, you're not.
01:55So far, so far, you've alienated the IRS.
01:59No, no, no.
01:59Don't say anything.
02:00Nancy, what do you look at when you look at a man for the first time?
02:03The expression in his eyes.
02:04Oh, yeah?
02:05Wait a minute.
02:08Anything?
02:09How about me?
02:11Well.
02:12Oh, well, all right.
02:14Lisa, what do you look at first time you meet a man?
02:16What do I look at?
02:19I don't know.
02:20I just look at him myself.
02:21Well, now, look at me.
02:22Close your eyes.
02:22Okay.
02:23Look at me.
02:24What's the first thing he knows about me?
02:26Your glasses.
02:32See, it's good to know after all these years, I'm every bit as sexy as I ever was.
02:37We said we'd explain the game.
02:39Each round consists of a question that has a number of answers to it.
02:42What's different about our game is that a team can win a round if all three members of the opposing
02:46team are knocked out of that round.
02:48Or if they come up with a seventh answer.
02:51That's also very important.
02:52Two out of three rounds wins the game and a chance to win even more money in our bonus game.
02:55So now let's get going with our game.
02:58Waitresses won round one.
02:59They also won control because we started with our dental hygienist.
03:02So we will begin with you, ladies.
03:04Everybody listen because this question will eventually get to all of you.
03:08Question.
03:09What is your favorite flavor of Jell-O?
03:13Now we asked its manufacturer, General Foods, what the favorite flavors are across the country.
03:19And we now have the list of the top seven sellers.
03:23Favorite Jell-O flavors.
03:25Sharon, you have a round.
03:27If you win another, you win the game and a shot at the big money.
03:30Do you want to answer or challenge?
03:31I'd like to answer.
03:32I'm going to say lemon.
03:34A waitress would know that.
03:36And that's right.
03:36You're right.
03:41So, Nancy, it's over to you.
03:43Are you going to answer the question or are you going to challenge one of our dental hygienists?
03:47I'm going to answer.
03:48Nancy, a waitress speaks from experience and says?
03:51Orange.
03:51Orange.
03:52Right, Nancy.
03:58Lisa, are you going to answer or are you going to tell me the first thing you notice when you
04:01meet a man?
04:02I'm going to answer.
04:02You're going to answer.
04:03Yeah.
04:03All right.
04:04Hit me with one.
04:05Okay.
04:06I'll say cherry.
04:08Cherry is right again.
04:13You have to hope it's going to get back over here to you eventually.
04:17They have three consecutive right answers in here, Sharon.
04:20I'll answer.
04:21All right.
04:22I'll say lime.
04:23Very good.
04:24That's right again.
04:27So, we have four consecutive right answers.
04:30The control stays with the waitresses.
04:32We'll be back with Nancy's answer or challenge in just a moment.
04:35But right now, we're going out and pick up some Jell-O.
04:37See you all along.
04:38Watch this, baby.
04:41So, we're back again and we're going to pick up this round.
04:44Nancy, your team is in control.
04:46We'll be with you in just a moment.
04:47But we are asking, according to General Foods, the manufacturer of Jell-O, asking for the seven top bestsellers.
04:53And so far, we've had lemon, orange, cherry, and lime.
04:58So, Nancy, it is your turn.
05:00It's up to you to see if you can come up with another one, thereby, you know, keeping control.
05:04Or do you want to challenge your opponents?
05:05I'm going to answer.
05:06All right, Nancy.
05:07Boy, you're confident.
05:08Well, let me have your flavor of Jell-O.
05:10Strawberry.
05:11That's right.
05:16Okay, we need two more right answers for the round in the game.
05:19Lisa, what are you going to do, answer or challenge?
05:21You may do either one, as you know.
05:22I'm going to answer.
05:23All right.
05:24Now, so far, you have five consecutive correct answers.
05:27And our four dental hygienists have never gotten a shot.
05:29Let's see what happens over here.
05:31Ladies and gentlemen, Lisa is about to give us what she hopes will be the sixth consecutive correct answer.
05:36Ladies and gentlemen, Lisa.
05:39Apricot.
05:41Apricot.
05:42Wrong.
05:45Lisa, to the bench, if you would.
05:46I'm going.
05:47That's all right.
05:49And, well, you might, Lisa.
05:51Go there and suffer for a while.
05:54Well, ladies, you got it back.
05:56Now you have an opportunity to answer a challenge.
05:58And, Lisa, we are beginning with you.
06:00It's getting tough as far as naming the flavors are concerned.
06:03But what do you want to do?
06:03Name one or challenge Nancy or Sharon?
06:06I think I'll name one.
06:07Okay.
06:08Are you confident?
06:08I'm going to say banana.
06:13Wrong.
06:14Sorry about that.
06:16That was wrong.
06:18Not as wrong as apricot, but it was wrong.
06:21Go sit on the bench, please.
06:23Control passes back to our waitresses.
06:24Now, Sharon, you're up.
06:26What are you going to do?
06:26Look, it's getting tough, isn't it?
06:27Yes, yes.
06:28Going to answer?
06:29You going to challenge?
06:29I'm going to answer.
06:30Here comes Sharon, ladies and gentlemen.
06:32I'm going to say raspberry.
06:33Good for you, Sharon.
06:37Well.
06:41Nancy, this is a big moment for you because we only need one more answer from your team
06:47to have you win the game, and if you win the round.
06:50And if you win this round, you win the game because you already got a round.
06:53So, do you want to answer or do you want to challenge?
06:56One right answer would do it for you.
06:59You have two opponents.
07:00I'm going to challenge.
07:01Oh, you may.
07:02You may.
07:03All right.
07:03We have Teresa.
07:04We have Mary.
07:05We'll be a challenge.
07:06Mary?
07:07Mary, she seems to think you're not big on jello.
07:10Now, if you come up with the right answer, that is the round, and you've tied the game.
07:14If you miss, that's it.
07:17Okay.
07:17What do you say?
07:18I'm going to have to go with lemon-lime.
07:21Lemon-lime is incorrect.
07:24The wrong answer.
07:25So, Mary, go join Lisa.
07:28Well, we only have one player on the hygienist side.
07:31It's Teresa who stands bravely and alone, and two on the waitress's side.
07:35Now, we have six right answers.
07:37It's your turn, Sharon.
07:38So far, you have been impeccable with your answers.
07:41Super.
07:41Do you want to answer, or do you want to challenge your lone opponent?
07:45Think it over.
07:45There's no rush.
07:48I'm going to answer.
07:49You are?
07:50Yeah.
07:51Okay.
07:51If you come up with the right answer, that's the round and the game.
07:55Okay.
07:56I'm going to say peach.
07:59Wrong.
08:00Oh.
08:01Sharon, if you will go over there and join Lisa, control passes back to our dental hygienist.
08:08Are you going to marry?
08:09Let me recap.
08:10We have six right answers.
08:11We only need one more right answer.
08:13There's only one player on either team.
08:15So, a right answer or a challenge, a good challenge, will win.
08:18Bad answer, we'll lose it.
08:20What do you want to do?
08:21I'm going to play.
08:21You're going to play.
08:22You realize if you miss it, you're eliminated, and your team loses the round and the game.
08:28Okay?
08:29Good luck for the round and the game.
08:32No, for the round.
08:33For the round.
08:34Great.
08:35Wrong.
08:36And the win.
08:38You have won it all.
08:39Congratulations.
08:42That was tough.
08:43That was tough.
08:47Congratulations.
08:49Congratulations.
08:51You know, grapes sounded to me like a marvelous answer.
08:54I have no idea, but I have a...
08:56There was one flavor left.
09:00Now, don't forget, this is General Food, who named their top-selling brands.
09:05The missing brand, and boy, this would have been a tough one to come up with, strawberry banana.
09:13Really?
09:14Banana?
09:14But strawberry banana.
09:16Yeah.
09:16Well, I don't know.
09:17It won the game for our waitresses and to our hygienists.
09:21All I have to say is, you've been fun to work with.
09:24I've enjoyed having you here.
09:25You leave us.
09:26You won yourself a game and $1,000.
09:29Our thanks very much.
09:30Come here.
09:33We'll be back here, give you a shot at the bonus game and $5,000.
09:37But right now, we're going to pause and give you a chance to conjure with this.
09:42Or whatever you do with this.
09:43I don't really know.
09:52No, after Christmas, never all that.
09:55We're time now for our bonus game as we come back.
09:58The subject of today's bonus, ladies, and being waitresses, I think you'll like this.
10:02Subject is calories.
10:03I'm going to show you a pair of athletic activities.
10:07And each time, you will have to tell me which athletic activity consumes more calories per hour.
10:14Each time you're correct, you will earn $500.
10:16You may quit whenever you want.
10:18But if you can answer five questions correctly, you'll win your jackpot, which is now at $5,000.
10:23Well, you already got $1,000.
10:26You may pass a question, but only one question per game.
10:28I'll describe that.
10:29It's nice as I look up here, this is the first time we have a redhead, a blonde, and a
10:34brunette reading from left to right.
10:35So we wish you well, ladies.
10:37Sharon, you're the captain.
10:38You're going to be speaking for the team, talking about calories.
10:42Question number one.
10:44Which athletic activity consumes more calories per hour?
10:49Is it horseback riding or bicycling?
10:53I'm going to answer.
10:54Okay, talk over.
10:55Bicycling.
10:56Tell us if you want to play or pass.
10:57We're going to play.
10:58You're going to play on that one, Sherry?
10:59Yes, we are.
10:59We're going to go with bicycling.
11:00You're saying bicycling?
11:01Let me read down the figures for you.
11:03In these numbers, you will know how well you did going for $500.
11:07Horseback riding consumes 325 calories per hour.
11:13Bicycling, $675.
11:14Well done.
11:18Okay.
11:19You got $500.
11:21If you want to go for $1,000.
11:22If you miss, you'll lose what you've won.
11:24Talk it over and tell me if you want to miss.
11:27You're going to go for $1,000 or nothing.
11:29Sharon speaking for the team says they're going to go.
11:33We're going to go.
11:34All right.
11:34Which athletic activity consumes more calories per hour?
11:40Is it basketball or softball?
11:44Talk it over.
11:44You may pass if you want.
11:45You're allowed one pass a game.
11:46Talk it over.
11:47Speak up.
11:48That's all right.
11:48Okay.
11:49We're going to answer.
11:50You're going to go for this one.
11:51Yes.
11:51You're going for $1,000 or nothing.
11:53I know.
11:53We're going to say basketball.
11:56You are?
11:57Yeah.
11:57Oh, dear.
11:59Basketball, 450 calories per hour.
12:01Softball, 245.
12:03Oh, dear.
12:12Sharon, you look like I irked you there.
12:14You did.
12:14I know.
12:15That's part of an MC stocking trade, you see.
12:19Try to play the contestant along.
12:22Are you going to go now for $1,500?
12:25Are you going to go?
12:26You're going.
12:27You're going.
12:28You're going.
12:28Okay.
12:29All right.
12:29Get ready.
12:30I'll read the question.
12:32Then you still have a pass coming to you if you want.
12:34Which athletic activity consumes more calories per hour?
12:38Is it aerobic dancing or water skiing?
12:43Think it over.
12:44Talk it over.
12:45Decide whether you want to play or pass.
12:46Speak up so we can hear you.
12:48Talk right up.
12:48Per hour.
12:48Per hour.
12:50What do you want to do?
12:51More calories per hour.
12:52Aerobic dancing or water skiing?
12:55What do you want to do?
12:56Do you want to pass?
12:57We'd like to pass.
12:58You would like to pass.
12:59You are entitled to a pass.
13:01Now, you go on to the next one.
13:02You'll have to answer the next one.
13:03Yes.
13:03May I ask as a matter of curiosity, had you guessed, which one of those would you have chosen?
13:08I would have chosen aerobics myself.
13:10Water skiing.
13:10And you would have chosen water skiing.
13:11What would you have chosen, Nancy?
13:12Aerobics.
13:12Aerobics would have won two to one?
13:14I was pretty sure, though, yeah.
13:14Aerobics would have been right.
13:15No.
13:17450 calories to 375.
13:19But now you have to answer this one.
13:22Which athletic activity consumes more calories per hour?
13:26Is it roller skating or scuba diving?
13:31Going now for $1,500 or nothing.
13:34Okay.
13:35Here comes the answer.
13:36Our answer is scuba diving.
13:38Roller skating, $450 an hour.
13:40Scuba diving, $375.
13:45I am sorry.
13:46That was a pretty tough one.
13:47You didn't win the jackpot.
13:48But let me say, ladies, if you can defeat another team, when you come back here, we're going
13:52to add $5,000 to your jackpot.
13:54If you get back, you will be playing for $10,000.
14:02We'll be back here in just a moment.
14:04Right now.
14:05Got this word of interest.
14:12That was tough.
14:15Okay.
14:15We're back again, and our waitresses have done quite well.
14:18Well, you won a round, and in the doing of that, won yourself $1,000.
14:22Had a little trouble in the calorie part of our bonus game.
14:25But as I say, next time you get up there, if you win this one, you'll be playing for $10
14:29,000.
14:30Now, if you will just wait a while, I want to go over here and give everyone a chance to
14:34meet your opponents.
14:36Hi, I'm Mike Christensen.
14:37Hi, I'm Jackie Caron.
14:39I'm Mark Moore, and we're in the Air Force.
14:42Yay, for the Air Force.
14:51Those uniforms, are they the dress?
14:53No, they're not really the dress, are they?
14:54No, these are just our blues.
14:56But they're awfully good-looking uniforms, you fellas wear.
14:58You know, during World War II, it wasn't the Air Force, it was the Army Air Corps.
15:03Did you know that?
15:03My father was in it.
15:05Oh, yeah?
15:05I did some teaching in that area.
15:08Not very well.
15:09Mike, you're the captain, Mike.
15:11Would you tell us a little bit about you and your teammates?
15:13Sure, I'm a pilot on a heavy aircraft.
15:15Jackie's the flight engineer on that same aircraft, and Mark flies a desk.
15:20He's media relations.
15:21Oh, yeah.
15:22Pretty good, Mark.
15:23You never have to bail out anyway, do you?
15:24Right.
15:25Or maybe sometimes you do.
15:26If you'll bear with us now, folks of the Air Force, we're going to begin with our waitresses
15:30because it is their turn being champions, and we pass along the first question to you.
15:35Everybody listen to the question, though, because, Jackie and gentlemen, it's apt to get over there to you.
15:40As a matter of fact, I'm sure you'll get a crack at it.
15:42If you've ever asked or been asked, what's your sign,
15:46you should be able to name the 12 astrological signs of the zodiac.
15:52We only need seven.
15:55Now, some people are into this, and some are not.
15:57It just depends on how the old ball bounces.
16:00So, Lisa, we begin with you.
16:01Are you going to answer, or are you going to challenge?
16:04I'll answer.
16:05Okay, here comes the sign of the zodiac, I would hope.
16:08I'll answer Taurus.
16:09Correct, and one right answer on the board.
16:15All right, Nancy, you have it.
16:17Are you going to answer or challenge your opponents?
16:19I'll answer.
16:20Going to keep the hot potato on your side.
16:22Yeah, Gemini.
16:23Gemini is another right one.
16:29Gemini is the sign of the twins, and my wife Anne is a Gemini.
16:32I just thought I'd drop in a little commercial to make things more fun at home.
16:36Sharon, were you going to answer?
16:37Yes, yes, I'm going to answer.
16:39I'm going to say cancer.
16:40All right, cancer is another right one, or the crab.
16:45Cancer or the crab.
16:46Oh, boy, we're on a roll here, I have a feeling.
16:49Lisa, you look like somebody who just can't wait to tell me what you're going to do.
16:54Are you going to answer or challenge?
16:55I'll answer.
16:56Oh, boy, what's your answer?
16:57Leo.
16:59Right again.
17:01It's one of those that you've seen.
17:03A lot of people are into this.
17:04You guys into this, too?
17:05I don't know if we'll ever get to you, but we'll see.
17:08Nancy, we have four consecutive correct answers.
17:11Oh, look at that.
17:11Look how smug she looks.
17:13Have you ever seen such confidence?
17:15Nancy, are you going to answer, or are you going to challenge your point?
17:19Scorpio.
17:20Scorpio is the right answer, and you've got to know it.
17:26Well, to recap, so far we've named Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, and it is your
17:32turn, Sharon.
17:33Your turn.
17:33We only need two more right answers.
17:35Answer or challenge?
17:36I will definitely answer.
17:37I'm going to say Aquarius.
17:38Aquarius is right.
17:42You know, one of the nicest people, one of the nicest people I know is an Aquarius.
17:47Me, too.
17:47No, you?
17:48No, I'm not.
17:49Oh, I'm an Aquarius.
17:51Oh, aw.
17:52What do you mean?
17:53You don't boo a sign of the Zodiac?
17:55They were awing me.
17:56Oh, they were awing me.
17:59I'm not boo awing.
18:00Oh, they didn't boo.
18:01They awed.
18:02They're awed.
18:02Okay, now look where we are.
18:04You're only one right answer away from the round.
18:07And, Lisa, it's your turn.
18:09You're going to answer for the round, or are you going to challenge?
18:12I'm going to answer.
18:13This is for the round.
18:14Cross your fingers, Air Force.
18:15I don't know what's going on.
18:16Ladies and gentlemen, Lisa says for the round.
18:20Aries.
18:21Aries is right.
18:22You're one right.
18:27Boy.
18:33Emery, we are a relatively new program.
18:35We have not been on the air that long.
18:37But I have a feeling that every once in a while, a question will come up on which one of
18:42the
18:42teams is well-versed, and that will happen.
18:43Now, did I forget, did we forget to name the rest of them?
18:47I would name the rest of them, but they are not at hand right now.
18:52Have no more.
18:53Anyone have any more of the answers for me?
18:54Virgo.
18:55You may answer, but you won't get points for it.
18:58Virgo is another one.
18:59Virgo.
18:59And, oh, here it is.
19:01Aquarius, Capricorn, Libra, Sagittarius, and Virgo.
19:04There it is.
19:05I just wanted to do that for the record, because I didn't want to insult anyone who was born
19:08under a sign.
19:10Now, we'll be back in just a moment.
19:12Pisces.
19:13Pisces wasn't mentioned?
19:14No.
19:15Oh, I want to mention.
19:17Molly, Molly Pisces.
19:19She lives in Philadelphia.
19:20We'll be back here in just a moment.
19:21Right now, we have a word of interest for it.
19:23I'll go.
19:24Keep that with my heart.

19:45Back to you, Bill.
19:46Hi, thank you, Charlie.
19:47We were talking before, say, many people are into astrology, but the waitresses tell me
19:52they're not particularly into it.
19:54It's just something you're aware of.
19:55What sign are you, Sharon?
19:56I'm cancer.
19:57Give me some of the characteristics of the signage.
19:59Well, you're supposed to be, you know, you're supposed to hide in your shell and be home-loving
20:03and warm, but I'm told that I wake up in the morning and I'm crabby.
20:07Oh, crabby, that's where they get it.
20:08Yeah.
20:08In the morning, you're crabby.
20:09The rest of the day, you'll hide in your shell.
20:10No, the rest of the day, I'm crabby, too, but I'm supposed to hide in my shell.
20:13It'd be better off hiding in my shell.
20:14I want to talk to you later on to find out what restaurant I should avoid.
20:18We'll all be back the next time, our waitresses and our Air Force people.
