00:06of celebrity gossip, Tattletail!
00:13And here's the star of Tattletail, Bert Convey!
00:30Thank you. Hello, everybody. Thank you. Welcome to Tattletail.
00:34Ah, we got a good group today. And thank you, dear. That was nice.
00:38All right. Everybody ready? Yeah, you are ready. I can hear that. I hope you're ready at home, too.
00:42You're gonna have a good time today, and here's the reason why.
00:45Winning money today for the blue section from Three's Company. There he is.
00:49Norman Fell and his beautiful wife, Karen Fell.
00:55Winning money today for the banana section.
00:57And the stars of their own new show right here on CBS.
01:00Robert Shields and his wife, Lorene Yarnell.
01:03Hello.
01:07Winning money today for the red section from Soap.
01:09Mr. Robert Menden and his wife, Sherry Menden.
01:18And congratulations on the show, Lorene and Robert. I mean, that's terrific, isn't it?
01:23I'm really excited.
01:24Well, you should be. By golly, it's gonna be a big hit.
01:26You were such a big hit in the summer, and now you're coming on full-time.
01:29That's wonderful.
01:30And welcome to you.
01:32Well, you've never been with us before, Sherry and Robert.
01:34No.
01:35First time.
01:35First time.
01:36You must understand that rookies, as we are fond of saying, usually do fairly well on our show.
01:40I certainly hope so.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Good.
01:42I don't want to put you under any pressure.
01:44Anyway.
01:45And Norman...
01:49Here we go.
01:50First question worth $150 to your rooting sections.
01:53This is it.
01:53Ladies, our magic genie guarantees you a perfect, beautiful body for the rest of your life.
02:01Sign up.
02:02Sign up.
02:02The only provision is that you must appear with your new body totally naked in one issue
02:08of one of the men's magazines.
02:10Will you accept that deal, yes or no?
02:13Okay?
02:14You have a perfect, beautiful body the rest of your life.
02:16One issue, that's all.
02:17You must appear one issue naked.
02:19Bye.
02:22Would Karen do that, Norman?
02:24If she was guaranteed the perfect, beautiful body for the rest of her life, remember?
02:29Well, she has a perfect, beautiful body.
02:31Right.
02:32So...
02:32Right.
02:33I can't see her wanting to do that at all.
02:35She wouldn't do that.
02:35No.
02:36No way.
02:37How about 30 years, 40 years down the line from here?
02:39She'd still have that perfect, beautiful body.
02:42Well, you know what I think love is, as the body changes, you know, and the face changes,
02:47the husband loves the new body and the new face, as time goes on.
02:52As time goes on.
02:53So, yeah.
02:53So, I want her just to be the way she is, and whatever's gonna happen.
02:57Okay.
02:57So, she's not gonna go for that.
02:58No.
02:59She's gonna say no.
03:00Remember, I asked her, so...
03:04You must remember this.
03:06A kiss, sister, a kiss.
03:07Here she comes.
03:09Karen, what do you think?
03:10Perfect, beautiful body for the rest of your life.
03:13You know what you have to do in exchange for it.
03:15Would you do it?
03:16No.
03:17That's right.
03:18That's what it is.
03:23I would rather be interested in what's inside than what's outside.
03:28You would be rather interested in that.
03:30Well, that's all I care about, and I hope that's what my husband cares about.
03:32Well, that's true, but give the rest of us a chance.
03:36Thanks, Karen.
03:37You're welcome.
03:37Robert, what about Laureen?
03:38What was she saying?
03:39You know, it's amazing, because I have a deal that Mechanics Weekly wanted us to pose both
03:45in our robot costumes nude, and we turned it down.
03:48And I know that...
03:49You're kidding me, aren't you?
03:50Yeah, I'm kidding you.
03:51Oh.
03:52But I would say absolutely not.
03:54Laureen's too shy.
03:55She wouldn't do it.
03:55Too shy.
03:56Too shy.
03:57Really?
03:57Yeah.
03:58But she's on television.
03:59She's on television.
04:00It's all phony.
04:00It's all facade, you know.
04:02It doesn't mean anything.
04:02It's a mask.
04:04Oh.
04:05Did you see that?
04:07Did you hurt yourself?
04:07Okay, you'll say no, she won't do that.
04:09Absolutely not.
04:09Here she comes.
04:11Laureen, would you do that?
04:12You'll have the perfect, beautiful body for the rest of your life.
04:16This is what Robert will think, right?
04:18Of me.
04:18Well, I'm asking you the question, remember.
04:20I...
04:22No.
04:23That's right.
04:24That's what he said.
04:24But you had a think about it for a minute.
04:26I did.
04:31Now, I asked you the question.
04:32You got it right.
04:34Want me to say something?
04:35Yeah.
04:35I mean...
04:36I think for myself, I would rather care about how I am inside as a person than I would on
04:44my body.
04:44There's two inside questions.
04:46Let's see how...
04:47Inside questions.
04:48Yeah.
04:48Well, that's what Karen said too.
04:49Let's see what Robert says.
04:51What will Sherry say?
04:52Well, Norman took my answer.
04:54She's got a perfectly beautiful body and all I can say is she better keep it.
05:00Yeah.
05:01As is...
05:01This would guarantee it.
05:02Do you understand?
05:03Yes.
05:03No.
05:04She would in no way pose naked.
05:06Absolutely.
05:07Anywhere.
05:07Anyplace.
05:08At any time.
05:08I'm sorry to hear that.
05:09Well, anyway.
05:10Here she comes now.
05:12Sherry, you know the deal.
05:14Would you go for that deal?
05:15Yes or no?
05:16No.
05:16That's right.
05:17That's what Bob said.
05:18Well, that was easy.
05:19Clay, right in your hands with that one.
05:21We'll split that three ways.
05:22We'll get you in a minute.
05:23Coming back in the second question after this message for you.
05:25We'll get them both.
05:36I'll take good care of you.
05:37Oh, hello.
05:39Question number two coming up and this is it.
05:40Ladies, it's for you.
05:41We have a three way tie, as a matter of fact.
05:43Ladies, you give as a wedding gift to a young...
05:46I'll say it again.
05:47Yes.
05:47In English.
05:49You give as a wedding gift to a young couple a nice silver plated platter.
05:55Their thank you note...
05:56Should I start this up?
05:57Would you like to read this?
05:58Give me a cue.
05:59Yeah.
05:59Give me a cue.
06:00I'm on.
06:02Ladies, you give as a wedding gift to a young couple a nice silver plated platter.
06:07Their thank you note thanks you for the sterling silver platter.
06:11Would you tell them the platter was not sterling?
06:15Yes or no?
06:17Okay.
06:18That's a question.
06:19I'm not gonna read it again.
06:20Believe me.
06:20Goodbye, ladies.
06:22They misunderstand, Robert.
06:23They think it's sterling silver.
06:25Send you a note saying, what a lovely gift.
06:27Thank you so much.
06:28Would you...
06:28I'm asking Lorene, of course.
06:30Would she tell them?
06:31What would you do?
06:32Of course not.
06:33You wouldn't tell them.
06:33Of course you wouldn't hurt their feelings.
06:35By making them think that you gave them a lesser gift than they thought you did.
06:38Yeah.
06:39What happens if they scratch it?
06:41I mean, would it show?
06:42I mean, could you get through the silver platter?
06:43I guess you could, couldn't you?
06:45I don't want to confuse you.
06:47She wouldn't tell them.
06:48No, no, no.
06:49I don't think so.
06:49Yeah.
06:50You're right.
06:51I never thought about that.
06:52It might hurt their feelings, yeah?
06:53Yeah.
06:54Okay.
06:54The answer is no.
06:55She will not tell them.
06:56Here she comes.
06:58Lorene, what would you do now?
06:59I mean, they send you a thank you note, thanking you for the sterling silver platter.
07:03Would you tell them the platter wasn't sterling?
07:05Okay.
07:06If they were my real close friends, I'd say, I would tell them it wasn't what they thought
07:13it was.
07:13That's not what Rob was saying.
07:15But if they weren't my close friends, then I would not say that because that would hurt
07:19them.
07:19Well, but that's two answers.
07:20See, you didn't let me finish.
07:21Well, then go ahead and finish.
07:22No, that's okay.
07:24You let it go.
07:25I would, see, I didn't know how it was going to be.
07:28Yeah.
07:28All we said was you give as a wedding gift to a young couple, so.
07:31Did I?
07:32If I knew them, I would definitely tell them that they goofed.
07:35Well.
07:36But if I didn't know them, I would say, no, I wouldn't tell them.
07:38Well, if you gave them a wedding gift, you probably knew them.
07:42Otherwise, why would you give them a wedding gift?
07:43No.
07:45We're invited to a lot of people's houses.
07:46I don't know.
07:47Oh.
07:48That's okay.
07:49We'll let it go.
07:49Oh, okay.
07:50Is that okay with you, bananas?
07:51Can I just ask you all something?
07:54Sure.
07:55Would you just let me know if they're real close to us or not?
07:58No.
07:58Then I can answer the question.
07:59Oh, you're not going to let me know that.
08:00They're not close to you at all.
08:02No, they're way out here in front.
08:03They can't get at you.
08:03Don't worry about it.
08:04They'd have to climb over that wall to get to you.
08:06Okay.
08:06Oh, you mean the couple?
08:07Yeah.
08:08Oh, I'm sorry.
08:08I thought you meant the banana section.
08:10They're close enough.
08:12Robert, what will Sherry say?
08:13I want to hear you say silver-plated platter again or whatever.
08:16I wish I could say it like you can.
08:18Silver-plated platter.
08:19Blah-blah-blah-blah.
08:19Blah-blah-blah.
08:20Blah-blah.
08:21Blah-blah.
08:21Blah-blah.
08:22I'm lost.
08:23Okay.
08:24Then I have to say it again.
08:26You give a nice couple a silver-plated platter.
08:30They send you a thank-you note thanking you for the sterling silver platter.
08:34Yes.
08:35Would you tell them that it was not?
08:37No.
08:37She wouldn't tell them.
08:38She would just let it go.
08:39Yes.
08:40Here she comes.
08:42Please.
08:43I couldn't read this again, Sherry.
08:45I hope you remember the question.
08:46The question was, would you thank them?
08:48I mean, would you tell them that it was not a sterling silver platter?
08:51No.
08:51I don't think I would.
08:52That's right.
08:52That's what Robert said.
08:59Have you pondered this a little bit, Norman?
09:01Yeah.
09:02You know, even if I was offered your body, I wouldn't take it.
09:09Listen, I'm very lonely sometimes, but I'm never that lonely, Norman.
09:14What do you think?
09:15You don't want to read it again, do you?
09:17No, I'm just kidding.
09:18If you insist.
09:18I'm kidding.
09:19No.
09:19The platter platter platter platter.
09:21I would say that she would say no.
09:23She wouldn't tell them?
09:24She wouldn't tell them.
09:24Why wouldn't she?
09:25I don't know.
09:25I guess I never thought about this question.
09:27Seriously.
09:27Well, you're volunteering information that's not necessary.
09:30Right.
09:31Don't volunteer.
09:31It's their mistake if they think it's a sterling silver platter.
09:34If they scratch it and find out it's not sterling silver, they say, they sent you the wrong
09:38platter.
09:40Is that how you cover it?
09:41You say, oh, you can't trust anybody in the shipping department these days.
09:45Nobody cares about their work.
09:47They just send out anything.
09:48All right.
09:48You'll say no.
09:49Here she comes.
09:51Karen, what will the answer be?
09:52Will you tell them it isn't sterling or won't you?
09:56No.
09:56I won't.
09:57That's right.
09:57That's what he said.
09:58Karen Millman and Sherry and Robert the White.
10:00Split it in half at halftime, fellas.
10:02Step to the rear.
10:03We'll bring the ladies out front.
10:04We'll come back with the second half after this message for you.
10:28We've changed places, obviously.
10:30Ladies, you're up here in front.
10:32Fellas, let me tell you what the score is.
10:34Robert, you and Norman are tied with $1.25 a piece and Robert, you have $50.
10:39I mean the banana Robert.
10:41Okay?
10:41Here we go.
10:43Fellas, listen carefully now.
10:44Men, one night you're alone in an unfamiliar town.
10:47There are two attractions playing.
10:49One is the ballet and the other is the burlesque.
10:52You have to go to one.
10:54Which one would you go to?
10:56Okay?
10:57Alone in an unfamiliar town.
11:00Think it over, fellas.
11:01This will tell a great deal about their character, I think, right here.
11:04Sherry, what do you think Robert would do?
11:06Well, you know, this is really easy because Bob has always been in love with the ballet.
11:10He was in love with Allegra Kent from Valentines Dancers when I met him.
11:14So I'm going to say the ballet.
11:15Really?
11:16Yeah.
11:16Okay.
11:17There you are.
11:19Little class there.
11:20Let's bring him on.
11:21See what he says.
11:23Robert, you have to go to one.
11:24One's a burlesque show.
11:25The other is a ballet.
11:26Which one will it be?
11:28I'd go to the ballet.
11:29That's correct.
11:30That's what Sherry said.
11:33Because I think the last time I went to the burlesque show, I was 16 and that's a few
11:38years ago and I decided then that there wasn't going to be anything in those places for me.
11:45Really?
11:45They're a little tired.
11:47Yeah?
11:47Yeah.
11:48Well, when you're 16, everything is tired.
11:50You know what I mean?
11:51Hopefully, yeah.
11:53What will Norman do?
11:55Well, it's burlesque without comedy.
11:57It's strip burlesque, right?
11:58That's what I want to know.
11:59It's not on my card.
12:00It says...
12:01Oh, it's teeny doing that.
12:01Because that makes a difference.
12:02Totally different.
12:03Sure, if there's sketches and stuff, that's different.
12:05Yeah, he would go with sketches.
12:05But otherwise, I think he would go to the ballet.
12:09And when he comes home, I'll do the burlesque.
12:11Hey.
12:12Hey.
12:15That's right.
12:16Here he comes.
12:17Let's see.
12:18Hey, Norman.
12:19There you are, alone, in an unfamiliar town.
12:22Poor baby.
12:23No one will ever know, however, what you do.
12:26Would you go to the ballet or would you go to the burlesque?
12:30I go to the ballet.
12:32That's right.
12:32That's what Karen said.
12:35That's right.
12:36That's what Karen said.
12:38Okay, dude.
12:39Okay.
12:40Now that you've successfully protected your image, what would you really do, Norman?
12:43I would go to the ballet, but I would bring a copy of Playboy.
12:46Hey.
12:48Thank you, sir.
12:49Larene, what will Robert do?
12:51Okay.
12:51Again, this is the same thing.
12:53My husband's into comedy.
12:54Now, you didn't specify what kind of burlesque, because burlesque shows can sometimes have
12:59comedy.
13:00That's right.
13:00And some of those ladies are really funny.
13:02You said it.
13:03But I'm going to say the ballet.
13:06The ballet.
13:07All right.
13:07Here he comes.
13:08It seems only fitting, doesn't it?
13:10Which will it be, Robert, the ballet or the burlesque?
13:12The ballet.
13:13You got it.
13:14Everybody got it.
13:15That was easy, too.
13:16We're going to have to get some tough ones here for you.
13:18We will.
13:19We'll split that one three ways and then we'll come back with a $300 question after this message
13:22for you.
13:25Hello there.
13:25We have extra time, which is good news for everybody here.
13:28We will have a $150 question and then we'll have the $300 question.
13:32So, there's extra money for you, gang.
13:34And this is the first question.
13:35This one's worth $150.
13:36Listen.
13:37Would it surprise you if you met an ex-girlfriend and she said she was still in love with you?
13:42Yes or no?
13:43Would that surprise you, fellas?
13:45Think about it.
13:46Mm-mm.
13:47Off you go.
13:48That's a good question and could happen.
13:50What do you think would happen in Norman's case?
13:52I mean, is there someone floating around that could possibly happen?
13:55No.
13:55Oh.
13:56No.
13:57There's nobody floating.
13:58Oh.
13:59And there's nobody in the past that I know of that would float with that feeling either.
14:05So, I would say no.
14:09No.
14:09The answer is no.
14:10No.
14:10There wouldn't be anybody who'd come around and say...
14:13Is that how it's phrased?
14:14Yeah.
14:14Would it surprise you if you met an ex-girlfriend and she said she was still in love with you?
14:17I think it would surprise him because I don't think it would happen.
14:19Oh.
14:20So, the answer is yes.
14:21It would surprise him.
14:22Yeah, that's an odd...
14:22Yeah, it's phrased.
14:23It's a funny way to put it, isn't it?
14:24Yeah, it's phrased.
14:24Would it surprise you if you met an ex-girlfriend and she said she was still in love with you?
14:28It would surprise him...
14:29It would surprise him because he wouldn't expect it.
14:31There you go.
14:32Okay.
14:32Yes.
14:32Okay.
14:32The answer is yes.
14:33Here he comes.
14:34Would that surprise you if you met an ex-girlfriend who said she was still in love with you?
14:40Not at all.
14:41The answer is no.
14:42There you go.
14:44You know somebody who, perhaps, that's why.
14:46No, I was going to say all my ex-girlfriends still love me.
14:50Oh.
14:50It's my ex-wives.
14:51Oh, they don't.
14:52They aren't too crazy about you.
14:55Sorry about that.
14:56What ex-girlfriend?
14:57Never mind.
14:58I don't know.
14:58He is just kidding.
14:59Lorene, what will Robert say?
15:01I think, yes, he would be surprised.
15:04So would I.
15:05He would, eh?
15:06He would really be surprised?
15:08Sure he would.
15:09Wouldn't you be?
15:11Wouldn't you be surprised?
15:13Oh, maybe.
15:13Oh, come on.
15:16You know someone, huh?
15:17I'd be nervous is what I'd be.
15:18Okay, you'll say no, right?
15:20No, he would be surprised.
15:22Yes, he would be surprised.
15:23That's what I meant.
15:24Here he comes.
15:26Robert, would it surprise you if you met an ex-girlfriend who said she was still in love with you?
15:30You know, I really don't know.
15:32I would say...
15:37What kind of question is that?
15:38Probably a hard one.
15:40That's probably why we asked.
15:40Let's see.
15:41Would it surprise you if you met an ex-girlfriend of yours and she said she was still in love
15:46with you?
15:47Would that surprise you?
15:48Yeah.
15:49That's right.
15:50That's what Lorene said.
15:54Yeah.
15:56It would.
15:58Thank you, Robert.
15:59Sherry, how about Robert?
16:00Well, I'll tell you, Bob is surprised when anybody even comes up to him and says,
16:03gee, I really like you.
16:04You're really good on television.
16:06He goes, who, me?
16:07So, I'm going to say yes, it would surprise me.
16:09Definitely would surprise you.
16:10Yes.
16:11Here he comes.
16:13Robert, would you be surprised if you met an ex-girlfriend who said...
16:16A girlfriend...
16:17A girlfriend who said she was still in love with you?
16:19Was that me?
16:20Hmm?
16:20Aha.
16:21Uh, heavens no.
16:23No, that's not what he said.
16:27Wait a minute.
16:27Why did...
16:28Would I be surprised if I met a...
16:30An ex-girlfriend...
16:31Who was...
16:31Who said she was still in love with you?
16:32No, I wouldn't be surprised.
16:33There you go.
16:34You're wrong again.
16:38Sorry about that, Bob.
16:40Lorene and Robert get the whole 150 smackers.
16:42It's not over yet, though.
16:48I'll tell you, though, honestly, Robert, that's one of the fastest comebacks we've had on the show.
16:54It's always a good one.
16:55All right, listen.
16:56This one's worth $300.
16:58Anybody can still win, but you must listen very carefully.
17:01Men, which of the two of you spends more time awake in bed?
17:04You or your wife?
17:06Okay?
17:07Which of the two of you spends more time awake in bed?
17:09You or your wife?
17:10Goodbye.
17:11We'll start with you, Karen.
17:13Lucky twice.
17:17I would say the times that we don't close the light at exactly the same time and whatever.
17:22I think that Norman probably spends more time awake.
17:25He likes to read and he studies before he goes to sleep.
17:29And sometimes he leaves the television on and he does a Johnny Carson thing before he goes to sleep.
17:34So I would say he definitely spends more time awake.
17:36He's the one.
17:37Yeah.
17:37Here he comes.
17:39Norman, between you and Karen, which one of you spends more time awake in bed?
17:42I do.
17:43That's right.
17:47A man of few words, but all his right ones.
17:50Thank you, Norman.
17:51Sherry?
17:52What will Robert say?
17:53Bob is an insomniac.
17:55Not only is he an insomniac, but that's when he reads.
17:58He reads at night or he's padding around the house till all hours of the morning.
18:02So I would say it's Bob.
18:03Definitely Bob.
18:04Here he comes.
18:05We'll find out.
18:07Bob, which one of the two of you spends more time awake in bed?
18:10I do.
18:10That's right.
18:11You got it.
18:13Okay.
18:15What we're looking at here is a possible tie if you miss this.
18:19But if you get it right, you get it for the bananas.
18:21They will win.
18:22Lorene?
18:23I think I'm going to get it.
18:26Because it's Robert.
18:27Because he's always...
18:29I have to get up at 6.45 because I have goats at home.
18:32And they wake me up at that.
18:34Wait a minute.
18:34Do you have goats at home?
18:35I raise goats.
18:36And they start screaming at 6, 6.30, 6.45.
18:40And it's like their alarm clocks.
18:42And when they start in, then my dog starts going...
18:45Imitate.
18:46That's my dog.
18:47Okay?
18:47And I can get up and the neighbors are going to scream.
18:50And one day I walked out of the door real early and I forgot to turn the alarm off.
18:54And we have one of those burglar alarms.
18:56And everything went off.
18:58The goats, the dogs.
18:59The goats and the roosters crowing and the dogs howling and the alarm's going.
19:03And Robert's screaming at me.
19:05Anyway, what does that have to do with what I'm saying to you?
19:08I forgot the question.
19:09I think I live next door to her.
19:12Who spends more time awake in bed?
19:15Robert does because he goes to bed late.
19:17Yeah.
19:17And you have to get up with the goats.
19:19And I got to get up early.
19:19What kind of noise do goats make in the morning?
19:22Want me to do that too?
19:23Yeah.
19:25Don't do it too loud.
19:27Okay, here we go.
19:28Maa!
19:30Maa!
19:30It's just that.
19:31Oh.
19:32Gee.
19:33What an ugly goat.
19:34How would you like that next door to you?
19:36Maa!
19:36I used to have two of those.
19:37They were not kids.
19:38You know what?
19:39We call them kids.
19:41They did.
19:42They thought we had a lot of kids I had out in the backyard in the pens.
19:46Right.
19:47Okay.
19:49I don't know where we are now.
19:50Robert stays awake more in bed.
19:52Here he comes.
19:53I think.
19:54This is for the game, Robert.
19:55Which of the two of you spends more time awake in bed?
19:57You or Lorene?
20:00Well, you know, Lorene raises lizards and porcupines.
20:03Oh.
20:04So, I haven't been, I haven't slept in six days.
20:08So, I would say I...
20:10That's it.
20:10You're right.
20:11You win.
20:12You split that 300 bucks three ways, but the bananas win with Lorene and Robert.
20:18We'll come back and get the moment and give the banana section their money and their
20:23votes, whatever else they want.
20:31The bananas with Lorene and Robert won $350.
20:34We had a thousand.
20:35The 100 people in that section will divide $1,350.
20:39And that's nice.
20:40Thank you, everybody.
20:40Thank you, panel.
20:41Thank you for being with us here on Town of Tales.
20:43Bert Combs is saying so long.
20:45I'll see you the next time.
20:46Bye.
20:52This is Gene Wood speaking for Travolta.
