00:05From Television City in Hollywood,
00:07here's the game where knowledge is king
00:09and lady luck is queen.
00:11It's The Joker's Wild.
00:13And now here's the host of our show, Jack Perry.
00:22Thank you very much.
00:23Thank you so much.
00:25And most cordial welcome once again to The Joker's Wild,
00:27the program where the players determine their own fate
00:29by spinning the category wheels and trying to get $500 or more
00:32before they can win the game.
00:33Most of you who are watching on our last program
00:35saw something very exciting.
00:36A young lady broke the jackpot.
00:39Her name was Debbie Foles.
00:40She won in cash and prizes almost $9,000.
00:44And as a result, we need two new players.
00:46Johnny, would you introduce the two new players, please?
00:48That I will, Jack.
00:49Our next player is a mountain climber
00:51who was born in New York.
00:53Let's welcome Margie Deutsch.
00:56And her opponent is a big man in every way.
01:00Let's welcome Albert Wisdom.
01:04Well, here's welcome to The Joker's Wild.
01:06Margie, which mountains have you climbed?
01:09I've climbed the Middle Teton in the Teton Range
01:11and Mount Hooker in the Wind River Range.
01:14Mm-hmm.
01:17What's everybody laughing about?
01:19What's so funny about the word mount?
01:24Isn't it terribly, terribly dangerous to climb?
01:26Those mountains are 14,000 or 15,000 feet high, are they not?
01:29Yeah.
01:29Not if you know how to do it safely.
01:31I mean, there are always risks to take,
01:33but there are certain precautions that can prevent you.
01:35Does it give you a big thrill to get up there?
01:37It's really fun.
01:38It really is.
01:39Well, that's certainly an interesting, unique experience.
01:42Albert Wisdom is your opponent, and he's a big man, as we said, in every way.
01:46Albert, how tall are you?
01:47I'm six foot two.
01:48And how much do you weigh?
01:50Uh, over 300 pounds.
01:53You are a big guy.
01:54As a matter of fact, about 200 pounds is in that mustache alone.
01:57Well, the wax counts for part of it.
02:00You get kidded about the fact that your last name is Wisdom?
02:03All the time.
02:04You do?
02:05All the time.
02:05Uh-huh.
02:06Are you a very, very smart fella?
02:08That's what I get kidded with all the time.
02:10I say the question right there.
02:11We're going to find out whether indeed you are wise or not
02:14immediately after we have these messages,
02:16and then we'll get on with our game.
02:19And now the game between the mountain climber and a bundle of wisdom.
02:26Here are the categories which are going to be used in this contest.
02:30They are Canada, Marlon Brando, metals, old television,
02:35that is the earlier television shows, fruits and vegetables.
02:38We'll let the mountain climber Margie Deutsch go first.
02:41Your first spin.
02:42Good luck, Margie.
02:45Old television.
02:46Fruits and vegetables and a pair on old television.
02:49How do you want to play it?
02:49I'll try old television, please.
02:51Old television.
02:52You have a pair, so it's worth $100.
02:54Al Hodge, H-O-D-G-E, played the captain on this kid's space show,
03:00which premiered in 1949.
03:02For $100, name this forerunner of so many of the shows of that type which followed.
03:11Captain Jet?
03:12No, that's not right.
03:14Al Wisdom, for $100, can you tell me?
03:17Space Patrol?
03:18Nope, you're both in the right neighborhood.
03:21Captain Video was one of the earliest of the space programs.
03:24Captain Video.
03:25No score, but Albert Wisdom, you get a spin right now.
03:30Metal.
03:31Joker.
03:32Old television again.
03:34Well, we'll try old television.
03:35You will, because you did so fabulously the first time, right?
03:38Oh, yeah.
03:38Gotta keep a streak alive.
03:39Okay, here we go.
03:40Name the series which featured Eve Arden as a wise-cracking English teacher
03:45and Gail Gordon as the long-suffering principal.
03:48Armis Brooks.
03:49That one's right, for $100.
03:51Score 2 at 100.
03:53Margie Deutsch.
03:56Fruits and Vegetables.
03:57Joker.
03:58And a triple.
04:01Wanna play it that way?
04:03I sure will.
04:03$200 riding on this.
04:05Although referred to as a vegetable,
04:08the round pulpy berry of this plant is actually a fruit.
04:11For $200, what is the pulpy red fruit called?
04:25A tomato.
04:28A tomato.
04:32Right.
04:32For $200.
04:36Your spinel.
04:40Brando.
04:41Canada.
04:42Old television.
04:43Try old television again.
04:45All right.
04:47It's only worth $50, because all the categories were different.
04:49Name the series which premiered in 1957 and starred Walter Brennan as Grandpa and Richard Crenna as Luke.
04:57The real McCoy.
04:58That's the one.
04:59You got $150.
05:01$250.
05:03All right, Margie.
05:06Canada.
05:07Joker.
05:08Old television.
05:09I'll try old television.
05:10Okay.
05:11$100 question.
05:13A religious program which begun in 1953 had the unfortunate luck of being placed opposite the tremendously popular show hosted
05:21by Milton Burrell.
05:22Name the famous Catholic bishop who hosted that program which was entitled Life is Worth Living.
05:29I can't even make a guess.
05:31No?
05:31On that, no.
05:32Can you make a guess for $100, Alan?
05:34Sheen.
05:34That's right.
05:35Bishop Fulton J. Sheen is right.
05:37You got $250.
05:39Of course, $250 and it's your spin-out.
05:44Joker.
05:45Old TV, fruits and vegetables.
05:48Old TV.
05:51You're getting to like that category, huh?
05:52I'm starting to really like it.
05:53All right.
05:54Name the matronly star of this series which debuted in 1954 entitled December Bride.
06:05Armis Brooks.
06:07Hey listen, I gave you $100 once for that answer.
06:11That's right.
06:12That's not the right answer.
06:13You'll get $100 if you can tell me, Margie.
06:15Tell you what?
06:19How to climb a mountain.
06:21That I can tell you.
06:23The question is, name the matronly star of the series which debuted in 1954 which was entitled December Bride.
06:34I need the star of that series.
06:38I'll just guess.
06:40Gale Storm.
06:40Who?
06:41Gale Storm.
06:42No.
06:42Spring Byington.
06:44Spring Byington.
06:45Okay.
06:46Score stands 200 to 250 and it's your spin, Margie.
06:51Old TV.
06:52Canada.
06:53Canada.
06:53I can hardly wait to see what you picked.
06:57I'll try Canada.
06:58Canada for $100.
06:59Okay.
07:00The Canadian exhibit, Man and His World, is the successor to the 1967 World's Fair that was held in Canada.
07:06What was the fair named?
07:10World Exposition.
07:12I'll have to have a more specific answer than that.
07:14It was called something else that had a specific name.
07:17Expo 67.
07:17Expo 67 is what I'm looking for.
07:19You've got a few more letters.
07:23And again, before I get lots and lots of letters from people about not accepting a second answer, it was
07:28a world exposition.
07:28And she was entitled, I think, to give a specific answer.
07:32It was called Expo 67.
07:33I know because I was working there in Canada at the time.
07:36Okay.
07:37Your spin.
07:38Right now, Al.
07:41Metals.
07:42Joker.
07:43Joker.
07:47I've got to go for metals.
07:48All right.
07:48It's a $200 question and here it is.
07:51When iron oxidizes, it forms iron oxide.
07:55For $200, what is the common name of iron oxide?
08:00Rust.
08:00Right.
08:00You go to $450.
08:04$300 to $450 is the score.
08:06Margie Deutsch.
08:08Fruits and vegetables, metals, and a pear.
08:11I'll try metals.
08:15$100 question.
08:17A radioactive isotope of this metal produces a gamma ray emission 25 times as powerful as radium and is used
08:25in the treatment of cancer.
08:27Name this metal.
08:29Cobalt.
08:29Right.
08:30You go to $400.
08:34I wish to point out right now that Albert Wisdom has $450.
08:37Any one single correct answer would get him the championship of the Joker's Wild.
08:43Spin out.
08:46Joker.
08:47Joker.
08:48Metals.
08:53You may play it any way you like.
08:55What's your strategy?
08:57Old television.
09:00For $100?
09:01For $100.
09:02You want to go for $100.
09:03You could of course go for $50, but you want to go for $100.
09:06Okay?
09:06Old TV for $100.
09:08Answer it correctly.
09:09You'll have $550.
09:10The game will be over and you will be the new champion.
09:14Darren McGavin and get this.
09:17Burt Reynolds starred in this adventure series which premiered in 1959.
09:22For $550 and the championship, name the series about life on the Mississippi in the 1840s.
09:31Riverboat?
09:32Right!
09:32For $550.
09:39You are really justified if you can remember Riverboat in which Burt Reynolds...
09:43I beg your pardon?
09:44I've never heard of the show.
09:46I can't.
09:50You never heard of the show?
09:51How did you get the answer?
09:53It was on the Mississippi.
09:54What else is on the Mississippi?
10:04Honest to goodness, was that just a guess?
10:06That's the honest truth.
10:08I'm going to confess too that I'm a little older than you are.
10:11I never heard of Riverboat either.
10:13But that might have been my guess to it.
10:15At any rate, you won, regardless of how you did it.
10:18And you will get a chance to spin for prizes in a moment.
10:20As for you, Margie, I guess all I can say is we hope there are some consolation prizes that will
10:23help you climb up another high mountain.
10:25You've been a delightful contestant.
10:26Thank you for being with us.
10:27Let's say goodbye to Margie Deutsch.
10:29Goodbye, Margie.
10:30We'll be back and spin for prizes right after these words.
10:34The champion is Albert Wisdom.
10:36He has earned his victory the hard way.
10:39Every time you get to win a game, you get a chance to spin for prizes.
10:41Al, I think you know how you do it.
10:42If you pull those levers, you get three jokers, you get a prize.
10:45If the devil comes up, you lose.
10:47Johnny Jacobs, would you tell Albert Wisdom the first prize that he could win?
10:51I will, Jack.
10:51It's Yashica Electro 35 GT camera.
10:55It's precision engineered and has a self-contained electronic frame to ensure professional quality pictures from Yashica.
11:01Pioneer in electronic photography.
11:04Okay, that prize is yours if you get three jokers.
11:06The devil loses it for you.
11:07Spin and good luck.
11:10Joker.
11:11Joker.
11:12Joker.
11:12Yeah.
11:14You've got prize number one.
11:15All right, Johnny.
11:16Tell them all about prize number two.
11:18Don't let George do it.
11:20Now you can do it yourself with this home workshop.
11:22Complete with a 10-inch table saw, 32-inch radio grill press, 4-speed lathe, 4-inch deluxe jointer, and
11:2810-inch bandsaw.
11:29Precision crafted tools for professional-looking carpentry.
11:33You have to take a little risk.
11:34If a devil comes up, you lose both prizes.
11:36But if three jokers come up, you get them both.
11:38What do you want to do?
11:38Quick or continue?
11:40Okay.
11:41Again.
11:42He's going.
11:44Here we go.
11:45Joker.
11:46Joker.
11:47Joker.
11:48Yeah.
11:49You've got two big prizes.
11:51Now, we're going to tempt you a little bit.
11:53See if you want to take a risk for this, the third prize.
11:55The Joker would like to add these home helpers to your home.
11:59The Wallback vacuum to help you with your whole house.
12:02The Lady Kenmore dishwasher for those kitchen cleanups.
12:05And the fabulous washer dryer from GE for the whole family.
12:09Together, worth over $1,000.
12:13Decision is yours, Al.
12:15Do you want to quit with what you have or try to beat the devil?
12:18What do you want to do?
12:22I'll do it.
12:22He's going.
12:23All right.
12:23Let's see.
12:24Good luck to you.
12:25You have a joker.
12:26A joker.
12:27A joker.
12:32Now, the wisdom has gone all the way and won all those lovely household appliances.
12:35I can't help but ask you this question, Al.
12:37Are you married?
12:38Of course not.
12:40I could have sworn he would have said that.
12:43You're not married.
12:44I don't work with wood either.
12:46Well, you're going to have a great time with your prizes.
12:48Love them.
12:48Every minute of it.
12:49I'm sure you'll have a great time with them.
12:51And in addition, I think you're having more fun on this program than one could possibly expect.
12:55One should enjoy this.
12:56That's what we're supposed to do, isn't it?
12:57That's right.
12:58And we're delighted to have you here.
12:59Now you have a decision to make.
13:00You've got $550 in cash.
13:02You've got $1,920 in prizes.
13:04The prizes are yours.
13:05No one will ever take them away from you.
13:06But you could be losing your cash.
13:08If you want to go on, and if you should win two more games, you would break the jackpot.
13:12In the jackpot right now, you would take home an additional $2,500.
13:17And in addition, should you break the jackpot, you'd ride home in glory in this lovely gift.
13:23It's the 73 Nova, the basic dependable car made better this year with real improvements to make it even better.
13:29Nova for 73, built to give you a better way to see the USA.
13:33Now, it's up to you, Albert Wism.
13:36Do you quit with your cash and prizes, or do you take a risk and try to break our jackpot?
13:40What do you do?
13:42Scoop.
13:44No decision.
13:44He says, I want to go.
13:46And he means it.
13:49Very good.
13:51We'll give him a chance to see if he can win game number two and game number three.
13:55But to do that, of course, we have to have someone to compete against him.
13:58So, Johnny Jacobs, would you introduce the next challenger, please?
14:01Yes, I will, Jack.
14:02Our next player was stranded two years ago in France.
14:05So, we're happy to welcome to our program, Wendy Taylor.
14:11Hi, Wendy. How are you?
14:12Fine, thank you.
14:13How did you happen to get stranded in France?
14:15Well, the tour agency that I went over with decided to play the stock market
14:19instead of paying our accommodations and transportation bills, and they went bankrupt.
14:23And so we were stranded.
14:24Oh, I did read of some of those cases.
14:25You were one of the unlucky ones, got stranded over there.
14:28Right.
14:28And the funny thing was, when my mother heard about it on the news, she didn't think it was me
14:32at all.
14:33She was not the least bit worried at all.
14:35Well, I think people have a tendency to think it always happens to somebody else.
14:38Right.
14:38Are you a married lady, Wendy?
14:39No, I'm not.
14:40Oh, no?
14:43No.
14:44Do you need a dishwasher or a vacuum cleaner or anything like that?
14:49As a matter of fact, I really do.
14:51Oh, really?
14:52This might be a more interesting match than one might otherwise assume.
14:55Let me show you the categories we're going to be using.
14:58And this is the second game for Albert Wisdom, trying to go to break that jackpot.
15:02They are Bing Crosby, fictional villains, civil rights leaders, famous Janes, ladies whose first name are Jane, and photography.
15:09Albert Wisdom, your second game, you're risking $550 spin, and again, good luck.
15:17Joker, Bing Crosby, famous Janes.
15:21Famous Janes.
15:23All right, a $100 question, which goes as follows.
15:26Wow.
15:26She won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Brie Daniels, but she is probably more well-known for her
15:31constant attacks on the Vietnamese conflict.
15:34Name her.
15:34Jane Fonda.
15:35Right, for $100.
15:38Wendy Taylor's first game, good luck, Wendy.
15:43Joker, Joker, famous Janes.
15:48I'll try famous Janes for $200.
15:50It's a $200 question for you, because it's a triple.
15:52She was an American child star during the 1930s in such films as Bright Eyes and Ginger.
15:58She is best known as Josephine, the Lady Plumber, in a series of television commercials.
16:03For $200, name her.
16:08I'm sorry, I'm just drawing a blank.
16:10Jane something, right?
16:11Oh, that's very good.
16:14It is Jane something.
16:15You don't know Jane who, though?
16:16No.
16:17All right, you'll pick up $200 here, Al, if you can tell me Jane who.
16:20Jane Andrews.
16:23Who was one of the Andrew sisters, no doubt.
16:26Jane Withers.
16:28Jane Withers.
16:29Okay, end of the first round.
16:30Finds the score 100-0, and we'll pick this game up right after these words.
16:36The score 100-0 in favor of the champion.
16:38The categories are Bing Crosby, fictional villains, civil rights leaders, famous Janes in photography, and it's your spin again, Albert
16:44Wisdom.
16:47Fictional villains, famous Janes, civil rights leaders, all individual categories.
16:50Fictional villains.
16:52Fictional villains.
16:53Okay.
16:54This alcoholic and superstitious brute purchases Tom and eventually kills him in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's cabin.
17:01What is the name of this classic villain?
17:05Indian Joe.
17:06Not right.
17:07You can pick up $50 here, Wendy, if you can give me the right answer.
17:14Oh, um.
17:17Jane Withers, right?
17:18No.
17:20Oh, you two are going to feel silly.
17:21Simon LeGree.
17:22Oh.
17:23Simon LeGree.
17:24Sorry, the score stands 100-0, but it is your turn, Wendy.
17:30Bing Crosby.
17:31Bing Crosby.
17:32And a triple.
17:35I'll play Bing Crosby for $200, please.
17:37Triple on the bingle.
17:38And here it is.
17:39Bing Crosby hosts a golf tournament that is played on a California course noted for its ocean view and tight
17:45fairways.
17:46For $200, name the course.
17:50Pacific Palisades.
17:52No, that's not right.
17:53You'll get another $200, Al, if you can give me the answer.
17:56Pebble Beach.
17:56Pebble Beach.
17:57You go to $300.
17:58Very good.
18:01Score 300-0 and it's your spin, Al.
18:05Fictional villain.
18:06Photography and a pair on photography.
18:09We'll try photography.
18:10Okay, $100 question.
18:11What color of light is usually used in a photographer's dark room?
18:16Red.
18:17Right.
18:18You go to $400.
18:20Yes, Kimberly.
18:23Joker.
18:24Bing Crosby.
18:26Bing Crosby.
18:30I'll try Bing Crosby for $200.
18:32$200.
18:33Here is the question.
18:34Bing has a brother who is a band leader.
18:37For $200, what is the first name of Bing Crosby's big band leader brother?
18:42I can't remember.
18:48Jane Withers, right?
18:49No.
18:50No guess?
18:51No, I can't remember.
18:53If you answer this question correctly, Al Wisdom, you will have $600 and because she
18:59has missed on her proper turn, you will have won your second straight game.
19:03Your $600 plus the $550 will bring you up to $1,150 for a grand total of $1,150.
19:09What is his brother's name?
19:10Bob Crosby.
19:11Right.
19:11For $1,150.
19:18I can't help but make the remark at this point that a little bit of wisdom goes a long way.
19:23Wendy, I'm sorry you couldn't win, but we all have some going away prizes for you backstage.
19:27Let's say goodbye to a very sweet and lovely young lady.
19:28It was a pleasure.

20:21No.
20:22I don't...
20:23I'll stay.
20:24You'll stay right with your wardrobe.
20:25You don't want to risk that.
20:26Right.
20:27Okay, that is your choice.
20:28And in a moment we'll find out your decision about whether you want to continue and try to break our
20:32jackpot with one more game.
20:33But first, this message.
20:34We asked a hundred people...
20:36Al Wisdom, you are not going to have to give us your decision right now, because I'm informed that we
20:40don't have time to play a full round, or indeed even let you cogitate about it.
20:44So I'll give you a little break and let you sleep on it a bit. Can you come back to
20:47our next program?
20:48Oh, I certainly will.
20:49Very good. When you come back, give us your decision. If your decision is yes, you want to go on,
20:54you will then be playing for cash and prizes of close to $9,000, which would be in the jackpot
20:59if you can break it.
21:00But we'll get that decision from you on our next show.
21:02Incidentally, for those of you who watch the Joker's Wild, you should know that many of our outgoing contestants receive
21:07a copy of the Joker's Wild home board game.
21:10Very exciting game.
21:11Hope you enjoyed our program and that you'll be back with us to see whether Albert Wisdom can be the
21:16third person in about four days to break the jackpot here on the Joker's Wild.
21:19For Jack Barry, thanks a lot for watching. Bye, everybody. Thank you for being with us. Good time.
