00:21From Television City in Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen.
00:28It's the Joker's Wild. Now, here's the host of our show, Jack Berry.
00:38Thank you. Thank you very much, and I'm very cordial welcome once again to the Joker's Wild,
00:43the program where players determine their own fate by spinning the category wheels,
00:47trying to make doubles and triples, and trying to get to $500 or more so that they can win the
00:51game.
00:52As we ended our last program, we introduced two brand new players.
00:55We didn't have a chance to play the game, but we'll do that right now as Johnny Jacobs reintroduces the
01:00two players.
01:00John?
01:01I'll do it, Jack. Our first player is the mother of two little girls, Jackie Hoffman.
01:08And her opponent is the father of three teenagers, Lieutenant Colonel Carlos McAfee.
01:17Nice that you're both back with us here on the Joker's Wild.
01:19On our last program, Jackie, we found out that you have your own tax consultant business, right?
01:23That's right, I do.
01:24Uh-huh, and we found out that this is Lieutenant Colonel Carlos McAfee, and you have the Navy Cross, correct?
01:30That's correct, Jack.
01:31Fine, now, we'll find out more about both of you in just a moment, but I want to get this
01:34game started,
01:34so let's take a look at the categories which will confront you.
01:37They are Bing Crosby, fictional villains, civil rights leaders, famous Janes, those are girls whose first name are Jane,
01:44and photography.
01:45We'll let you go first.
01:47Jackie Hoffman, your first spin.
01:49Good luck.
01:52Bing Crosby, fictional villains, and a pair on Bing Crosby.
01:56How do you play it?
01:58I'll take Bing Crosby.
01:59Okay, it's a pair, so you were playing for $100.
02:02What is Bing Crosby's real first name?
02:10Don't know?
02:11Robert.
02:12No, it's not right.
02:13As you know, Lieutenant Colonel Carlos McAfee, you can, McAfee, you can get $100 now if you give me his
02:20real first name.
02:22I believe it's Harry.
02:23That is right, and you get $100.
02:26Harry Willis Crosby, and it's your spin.
02:29Colonel.
02:31Famous Janes, photography, and a pair on photography.
02:35Uh, I can't resist the picture.
02:38I'll go with photography.
02:39Okay.
02:39Another $100 question.
02:41Among other things, he invented a dry plate photographic process, film on a roll, and the Kodak camera.
02:47What is the last name of this man?
02:55Land.
02:56Don't know?
02:56Land.
02:57No, that's not right.
02:58$100 will be yours, Jackie, if you can tell me.
03:01Um, could it be Howell?
03:03No, George Eastman, Eastman Kodak.
03:05Oh.
03:06I'm sorry, the score stands 0 to 100, and we'll be back and finish this game right after these words.
03:12The players are Jackie Hoffman, a tax consultant, and her opponent, Lieutenant Colonel Carlos McAfee.
03:17Uh, Jackie, uh, where is your tax consultancy business?
03:20It's, um, it's in a market.
03:22It's really strange.
03:23A supermarket?
03:24Yes.
03:24May I say the name of it?
03:26I don't care.
03:27It's in the Mayfair Market on Franklin and Bronson.
03:29Oh, we'll all run right over and get our tax reforms done.
03:32Oh, do.
03:32It's so much fun.
03:34They're flying shopping carts and lots of music, and it's really funny.
03:38Sounds terrific.
03:39And, uh, Colonel, when, uh, why did you, you were awarded the Navy Cross?
03:43For what action did you get that?
03:44Well, Jack, I was an advisor with the Vietnamese Marines in my first tour in Vietnam,
03:48and we had an action that, uh, was somewhat heavy, and I was awarded the Navy Cross for that.
03:56I see.
03:57Now, he's too modest to say, and I'm not going to tell.
03:59It's a long, long story, and he performed some very, very heroic deeds.
04:02Are you a married man?
04:03Yes, sir.
04:03Three teenagers.
04:04That's very nice.
04:05All right, we'll pick up this game right now with the score 100 for the Colonel, 0 for Jackie.
04:09It is your spin, Jackie.
04:10Let's see what happens.
04:12Bing Crosby, fictional villains, famous Janes.
04:16I'll take famous Janes.
04:17Okay, for $50, because they're all different categories.

04:26Knows Best.
04:27Name her.
04:32Jane, um...
04:34No guesses to her last name?
04:35Jane Wyman.
04:36Nope, that isn't it.
04:37Can you give me the last name?
04:39Uh, Jane Wyatt.
04:39Jane Wyatt is right.
04:40You pick up another $50.
04:42Go to $150.
04:43You're finished, huh?
04:47Villains, villains, civil rights leaders.
04:50Let's try the guy with the knife.
04:52Okay.
04:53I hope he doesn't do it to you.
04:56It's a $100 question.
04:57Who was the villainous pirate out to do away with Peter Pan?
05:02I believe that was Captain Hook.
05:03You're right.
05:03You go to $250.
05:06Zero to $250.
05:08Jackie, you've got some catching up to do.

05:28Sorry, that's not right.
05:30And I have to accept that answer.
05:31We get a lot of males saying, I don't accept the first answer.
05:33Well, that's the first answer.
05:34I'll have to accept it.
05:35You'll get $100 more, Colonel, if you can tell me the city.
05:40Memphis, Tennessee.
05:41That's it.

06:03her master Chinese criminal.
06:05Name this Oriental villain.
06:13Wolfat.
06:14No, that's...
06:14Who's that?
06:15Well, he was on TV the other day, and I thought it might be the same guy.
06:18I don't know.
06:19Oh.
06:20Wolfat?
06:21Yes, sir.
06:22I knew his brother.

07:30That's a $200 question.
07:32This civil rights leader was elected to the Georgia legislature in 1966, and they refused
07:37to seat him.
07:38The Supreme Court ruled that the Georgia House must seat him for $200.
07:43Who was this important figure?
07:46I should say, who is this important figure?
07:51I don't know.
07:52Don't know.
07:53We'll have a new champion on this program.
07:55If you can answer this, Colonel, you'll have $650, and you will be the champion.
08:00What is his name?
08:01Is it Evers?
08:02No, it is not.
08:03It's Julian Bond.
08:05Julian Bond.
08:06You don't score, but it's your turn.
08:08Your turn, Colonel.
08:11Joker.

08:25Bing Crosby was successful singing with the Rhythm Boys.
08:29For $550 and the championship, what famous big band was Bing Crosby singing with when he
08:36worked with the Rhythm Boys?

08:46$100 is yours if you can name the band.

08:53No, I'm sorry.
08:55My friend Eugenie Baird Mead, who used to sing with him, would be very sorry.
08:58Old Pops.
08:59Paul Whiteman.
08:59Paul Whiteman.
09:01Sorry you don't score.
09:02It remains $200 to $450, and we'll be back to finish this game after these words.
09:06In this game, between Jackie Hoffman and Lieutenant Colonel McAfee, we're using the categories
09:11Bing Crosby, fictional villains, civil rights leaders, famous Janes, and photography.
09:15The score, $200 to $450.
09:17It is your spin, Jackie Hoffman.
09:20Joker.
09:21Joker.
09:22Bing Crosby.
09:27I'm going to go off the board to famous Janes.
09:30Okay.
09:31Under the rules of our game, if you have jokers, you can use them to form other categories.
09:34Of course, you get less money for it.
09:36This is a $100 question on famous Janes.
09:38Before she became Lady Greystoke, her name was Jane Porter.
09:42In what series of classic jungle novels is she found?
09:47Tarzan.
09:47That's right.
09:48You go to $300.
09:51Justin, Colonel.
09:54Joker.
09:55Photography.
09:56Civil rights leaders.
09:58I think I'll go off the board for famous Janes also, Jack.
10:01Okay.
10:03It's a $50 question, but that is all that you do need.
10:06You have $450.
10:08This $50 question, if answered correctly, would get you $500 and the championship.
10:13One of the featured brides in the film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,
10:17this famous Jane was also one of Broadway's musical names.
10:22For $500 and the championship.
10:25Name her.
10:26I believe that was Jane Powell.
10:27Right.
10:27For $500.
10:35We have a new champion on the Joker's Wild, Lieutenant Colonel Carlos McAfee.
10:39And in just a moment, we'll give him a chance to spin for prizes.
10:41Jackie Hoffman, you fought back valiantly after having been so far behind.
10:44It was a lot of fun.
10:45I'm glad you enjoyed it.
10:46We wish you luck with your tax consultancy business.
10:48There will be some going away presents for you backstage.
10:50Let's say goodbye to Jackie Hoffman.
10:52Goodbye.
10:53Goodbye.
10:57Now, as all of you know, every time a player wins a game, they get a chance to spin for
11:00prizes.
11:00Up on the wheels, we no longer have categories.
11:03We have jokers and devils.
11:04Anytime a player spins three jokers, he gets a prize.
11:07Whenever a devil comes up, you lose.
11:09Johnny, what's the first prize the Colonel will be spinning for?
11:12Jack, it's a Bell & Howell Dual 8 camera and projector outfit with our zoom camera, projector, tripod, and lights.
11:18It's easy film cartridge loading and stop-go exposure indicator.
11:21That'll be yours if you get three jokers.
11:23Good luck, Colonel.
11:24Spin.
11:26Joker.
11:27Joker.
11:28Joker.
11:32You have one prize.
11:33From here on in, you have to take some risks.
11:35What's the second prize you may want to take a risk for?
11:38Jack, it's a home entertainment package starting with this sharp 19-inch color portable television.
11:43With remote control and automatic color system that locks in picture, plus pre-tuner for UHF channels.
11:49And for the more musically inclined, Toyo's professional 8-track stereo recorder with radio and battery rechargers.
11:56That will be yours unless a devil comes up.
11:59Do you want to quit now or risk it?
12:03I'm going to be in trouble either way I go because we've been looking at all those items.
12:08I better not lose the movie projector, but I think I'll try it.
12:11You want to try?
12:12I think I'll try it.
12:12Well, the way you said that, I thought you didn't want to try.
12:14I didn't know until I got there.
12:16Oh, okay.
12:16I just figured it out.
12:17Good luck, Colonel.
12:19Here we go.
12:20Joker.
12:24I'm awfully sorry.
12:25The devil came up and snatched that away from you, that which you wanted so badly.
12:29Now you have a choice to make.
12:30You have $500.
12:31You can quit right now.
12:32The $500 is yours.
12:33If you go on and win two more games, you would break our jackpot.
12:37In the jackpot in cash now, we have $4,500.
12:41In addition, if you break the jackpot, you also would get this elegant gift.
12:48The 1973 Monte Carlo combines American comfort with European handling.
12:54Chevrolet indeed building a better way to see the USA.
12:56Monte Carlo by Chevrolet.
13:01Now it's your choice, Colonel.
13:02You can quit with your $500 or you can risk it and try to break the jackpot.
13:05What do you want to do?
13:06Quit or quit?
13:06I'd like to go, Jack.
13:08Go?
13:08I want to go ahead.
13:08He's not hesitating.
13:09He wants to go.
13:11So go we will.
13:14Once again, we've had a couple of very, very distinguished of our fighting men here on the program.
13:21As a matter of fact, one of them broke the jackpot a number of weeks ago.
13:23I don't know whether the colonel's going to go all the way or not, but we'll give him a chance
13:26at least to decide whether he wants to as we introduce another player.
13:29Johnny, who is it?
13:30Jack, our next player was once a Girl Scout and bussed across the United States.
13:34Here is Lainey McKinnon.
13:40I'm sorry, I did not hear your first name.
13:42It's Lanny.
13:43Lanny.
13:43Right.
13:44Nice to have you with us.
13:44And you bussed across the United States?
13:46We had a heck of a Girl Scout troop going.
13:48Sold a lot of cookies and took a lot of trips.
13:50What is the longest trip you ever took?
13:52We went to Europe.
13:54You didn't bus to Europe, did you?
13:55No, no.
13:56We took the train across and then a boat across and we bussed through Europe, though.
13:59I see.
14:00Are you a married lady now?
14:01Yes, I am.
14:02Any children?
14:03Two little girls.
14:04Very nice.
14:04Okay, players, this is the second game for the Colonel.
14:07Let's take a look at the categories that are going to be used.
14:09They are Famous Redheads, Laurel and Hardy, South America, Psychiatric Terms, and the Renaissance.
14:18Colonel is risking $500 and this is second game, Spin and Good Luck, Colonel.
14:24Famous Redheads, Psychiatric Terms, Laurel and Hardy.
14:29Well, let's try the Redheads, please, Jack.
14:31You want the Redheads, all right?
14:33All right, let's give you that question in just a second.
14:35Here it is right here.
14:36Presently with her own television series, she starred for many years with her Latin American
14:40husband on one of the most successful comedy shows of all time.
14:44Name her.
14:44Lucille Ball.
14:45That's right.
14:45You're off to a good start.
14:47For $50.
14:49And it's your spin.
14:51Ronnie?
14:52Ronnie?
14:54Renaissance, a pair, a triple.
15:00How do you want to play it?
15:01I guess I'll take the Renaissance for $200.
15:02You have to take the Renaissance because that's the way it felt.
15:05But it is worth $200.
15:06An important date is often cited as the beginning of the Renaissance in 1453, when the city which
15:12had been chosen as capital of the first Christian emperor of Rome fell into the hands of the
15:16Turks.
15:17For $200, name the city.
15:20Constantinople?
15:21Right, for $200.
15:24Colonel is trailing 50 to 200.
15:26It is your spin, Colonel.
15:29South America.
15:30Laurel and Hardy, it's a pair on South America.
15:33Better take the South America to catch up.
15:35Okay, $100.
15:36This South American country rivals the United States agriculturally, especially in the area
15:41of beef production.
15:43Its gauchos are a national symbol.
15:45For $100, name the country.
15:47Argentina.
15:48Right, you go to $150.
15:50Your spin line.
15:54Famous redheads.
15:55South America.
15:56Joker.
15:58Oh, I guess I'll take famous redheads for $100.
16:02Okay.
16:03This famous redhead is easily recognizable in the comic strips for her lack of pupils
16:07in her eyes.
16:08Who is she?
16:09Little Orphan Annie.
16:10Right, you go to $300.
16:12With the game, 150 to 300, with the Colonel trailing, we'll be back right after these words.
16:20In this game, between the champion, Lieutenant Colonel McAfee and Lonnie McKinnon, we are using
16:25the categories Famous Redheads, Laurel and Hardy, South America, Psychiatric Terms, and the
16:28Renaissance.
16:29The score stands 150 for the Colonel.
16:31For the challenge of 300, it is your spin, Colonel.
16:34Let's see what happens.
16:37Psychiatric Terms, redheads, redheads.
16:40I need the double.
16:40Better go with the redheads.
16:41Okay.
16:42When he fired Julius LaRosa on the air, this television star caused a minor furor.
16:48For $100 more, name him.
16:55No answer?
16:57No answer.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:58$100 is yours, Lonnie, if you can tell me.
17:00Arthur Godfrey.
17:01Godfrey is right.
17:02You go to $400.
17:04Score 150 to 400, and it is your spin, Lonnie.
17:10Laurel and Hardy, South America, Joker.
17:14Oh, I guess I'll take South America for $100.
17:18South America for $100.
17:19If you answer correctly, you will have $500, and you will become the new champion on the
17:25Joker's Wild.
17:26This Andean country is famed for its tin mines located high in the Puna region.
17:33For $500 and the championship, name the country.
17:37Peru?
17:38Nope.
17:39That is not it.
17:40You can pick up $100 here, Colonel, if you can give me the correct country.
17:43I believe it's Bolivia.
17:44You're right.
17:44You go to $250.
17:48$450 to 400.
17:50Your spin, Lieutenant Colonel.
17:53South America, Renaissance, psychiatric terms.
17:56Not a very good spin.
17:57South America's been good to me.
17:58I'll stay with it.
17:59Okay.
18:00$50 question.
18:01Asuncion, A-S-U-N-C-I-O-N, is the capital of this South American republic.
18:06Name this country whose most important export is cotton.
18:10It would be Paraguay.
18:11That is right.
18:12You go to $300.
18:15Your spin, Lani.
18:19South America, psychiatric terms, Joker.
18:22I guess I'll take psychiatric terms for $100.
18:25Same condition prevails.
18:27It's a $100 question.
18:28Answer it correctly.
18:29You will have $500 and the championship.
18:32Used often in the treatment of mental disorders, this process is used to induce an argument.
18:36Artificial type of sleep.
18:37And by suggestion, manages to keep a rapport between the doctor and patient.
18:41For $500 and the championship, what is that process called?
18:46Hypnosis.
18:47Right.
18:47For $500.
18:54We have a new champion on the Joker's Wild, Lani McKinnon, winning $500.
18:58And in just a moment, we'll give you a chance to spin for some prizes.
19:01I am sure that nobody likes to see a man who has such a distinguished career, a Vietnam veteran, lose
19:07on the program.
19:08But I'm sure, Lieutenant Colonel McAfee, that if you had to lose to anybody, you'd just as soon lose to
19:12a Girl Scout.
19:13That's right, Jack.
19:15There will be some going away prizes for you backstage.
19:17Thank you for all you've done for us in Vietnam.
19:20And have a very, very happy and safe New Year.
19:22Let's say goodbye to Lieutenant Colonel McAfee.
19:53We'll do that for you, but we'll do that after these words.
19:58Lani, there isn't really sufficient time for us to let you spin those wheels and get your prizes.
20:03But if you can come back to the next program, that is precisely what we will do at that time.
20:07Are you able to come back to the next show?
20:09I certainly would love to come back.
20:10Very good.
20:11When you come back with your $500 already tucked away, that is provided you don't risk it and go on,
20:15we'll give you a chance to spin three times and perhaps win some elegant prizes,
20:19thousands and thousands of dollars worth of prizes, and we will see you on that program.
20:22Ladies and gentlemen, this, because of the bowl games, bowl parades on New Year's Day,
20:29in many parts of the country, and perhaps all of the country, we will not be seeing you on New
20:34Year's Day.
20:34And this, indeed, will be the last of the year for us to thank you very much
20:39for all your courtesies extended to us here on the Joker's Wild.
20:41I'll tell you what a happy time it's been for us during this year to have been able to play
20:45Joker's Wild with you
20:46and I'll tell you that we'll be with you hopefully all of next year.
20:49Happy New Year.
20:49We'll see you on the day after New Year on the Joker's Wild.
20:52Have a happy and safe, prosperous, healthy New Year.
20:55Goodbye, everybody.
20:56Thank you, everybody.
21:33We'll see you on the next one.
21:41We'll see you on the next one.
21:54We'll see you on the next one.
22:18We'll see you on the next one.
