00:01Meet three of our players.
00:04Hi, I'm Tia Zadora.
00:07Hi, I'm Linda Clemens.
00:10Hi, I'm Mindy Cohn, and we are...
00:12The Champions!
00:14And we're here to play celebrity...
00:18Potato!
00:19And here's our host, Bill Cullen!
00:22Here it is!
00:25Thank you very much.
00:27Thank you all.
00:29And welcome to Hot Potato Spinny Grand Week.
00:32With these players, let us first of all say to our champion, Linda Clemens.
00:35Linda, you are doing well.
00:37You've been up here now for three days with us, I think.
00:39You have $13,000, and you have two great partners.
00:43On your right and our left is Jim Bullock, too close for a comfort star.
00:48And on your left and our right is Mindy Cohn of Facts of Life.
00:53Welcome, Linda and Jim.
00:55Okay, Linda, you've done well.
00:58You've won these things.
00:59You have $13,000 going.
01:00And right now, you're going to get a shot at another $5,000.
01:04Subject of today's bonus is marriage.
01:07Now, I'm going to name a famous person, and then I'm going to show you two other people.
01:12Each time you'll have to tell me who was married to the star I named.
01:16Understood?
01:16Good.
01:17Jackpot is $5,000.
01:18You're the captain, Linda.
01:19Okay.
01:19Have a conference after each question.
01:21Let us hear you talking.
01:22And you decide whether you want to play or pass.
01:25Okay.
01:25Going for $500.
01:26Oh, I think with the help of these professionals, you're going to do well.
01:30Yeah.
01:30Professional showbiz people, not professional married people.
01:34Okay.
01:35Who was married to the star?
01:37The star is Cary Grant.
01:40Was Cary Grant married to Lee Grant or Diane Cannon?
01:45Have your cell phone.
01:47I know it.
01:47Trust me.
01:47Diane Cannon.
01:48She said you trust her.
01:49You say Diane Cannon.
01:50You are right, and you got five.
01:52You're right.
01:53Good for you.
01:55Good for you.
01:56Good.
01:57Good.
01:58Good.
01:58Good.
02:00They're going.
02:01They're going.
02:03This one, for some strange reason of my own, amuses me.
02:06I'm allowed to say that because that doesn't give you any help.
02:08It amuses me.
02:10Who was married to the star?
02:11The star was Frank Sinatra.
02:14Was Frank married to Mia Farrah or Maureen O'Hara?
02:19Okay.
02:20Have a conference.
02:20Uh-oh.
02:21And you have a pass if you're in trouble.
02:22Are you in trouble?
02:23Are we in trouble?
02:24Mia Farrah.
02:25You say real quick, Mia Farrah.
02:26It's the right answer.
02:27You didn't even need to help you.
02:29Good for you.
02:29Good for you.
02:30Oh, you're good.
02:31Good.
02:32We got to go.
02:33Let's go.
02:34You going on?
02:35Yes.
02:35You two showbiz people didn't know that Frank was married to Mia.
02:39Okay.
02:39Uh-uh.
02:40No.
02:41There's no penalty for that.
02:42Uh-huh.
02:43Well, now, good luck, Linda.
02:44You're the captain.
02:45The star in this case is Laurence Olivier.
02:49Was Laurence married to Vivian Lee or Olivia de Havilland?
02:56Ooh.
02:57Now, you have a pass if you want to use it.
03:00Who is the historian?
03:01Laurence Olivier.
03:02Oh, Sir Laurence Olivier.
03:04Famous actor.
03:05I have no idea to be honest.
03:07I'm going to go with Olivia de Havilland.
03:09Okay, that would be my idea.
03:09You did.
03:10And that knocks you right out of the box.
03:12Aww.
03:13Because Sir Laurence Olivier was married to Vivian Lee, and that's it for you.
03:18You go zip for their butt.
03:20We've got good news.
03:21You still have your $13,000.
03:23No one will ever take that away from you except maybe the IRS and well-meaning friends.
03:27Next time you get up here, you'll be going for $10,000.
03:32Okay.
03:33We'll be back.
03:35We're going for whatever we can pick up for you.
03:42Change is good.
03:44That's why if you deal with occasional loss of bladder control, improved poised pads are for you.
03:49They've been redesigned for a close, custom fit.
03:52First, they gently raise the center, bringing protection closer to you.
03:55Then, they change the shape, making one end wider than the other, so you can place the absorbency where you
04:01need it most.
04:02That's the beauty of this close, custom fit.
04:04And only boys has it.
04:05See?
04:06Change also.
04:10Okay, so Linda has herself $13,000, knowing that the next time she gets back up there, she'll be going
04:15for an additional $10,000.
04:16Now, when we, at the end of each game, we have our celebrity switch teams.
04:19So we have, in effect, although some of the people you will recognize, two brand new teams.
04:24So to keep you abreast of what occurs here, shall we meet our champion together?
04:29Hello, I'm Brian Mitchell.
04:31Hi, I'm Linda Crennan.
04:33Hi, I'm Mindy Cohn, and we are the champions!
04:41And now, let's say hello to our challengers.
04:43Hello, I'm Bill Cullen.
04:45Oh, nice working boy.
04:47Hello, I'm Larry Bradbury.
04:50Martha Smith, and we are the challengers!
04:53There you go.
04:55Yes!
04:56Excellent name, Bill Cullen.
04:58Bill Cullen, you did?
04:59What do you want to change it to?
05:00I don't know.
05:01Cullen and Bill, I don't know.
05:02Desmond Cullen, great name.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Larry Bradbury is our challenger.
05:06Hello, Larry.
05:07Hi, Bill.
05:08May we know what you do?
05:09I'm a railroad conductor, Bill.
05:10Oh, yeah?
05:11Yes, sir.
05:11Is it not true?
05:12You mean on a railroad?
05:13You said it, railroad.
05:14What else?
05:14While on a highway?
05:16Is it not true that the conductor of a train is the boss of the train?
05:20Exactly.
05:20I'm very knowledgeable.
05:21Even though the engineer runs the engine and all that, you're the guy who says, okay,
05:25we stay here, or we go, or whatever has to be done, right?
05:27Boss is right.
05:28Boss is right.
05:28And you're him, huh?
05:29That's right.
05:29Yes, sir.
05:30Okay.
05:31Good to see you, Larry.
05:32Wish you well.
05:32You know everybody here.
05:34We're gonna begin with a question.
05:34Everybody listen.
05:35We're gonna start with our champions in a moment.
05:37I like this.
05:39What movie monster scares you?
05:42Davis Research asked people across the nation to name the scariest movie monster.
05:47Now, we don't want the actors who played them.
05:49We don't want the real actors.
05:50We want the seven of the nine most mentioned, you know, made-up movie monsters.
05:55You know, things that scare you.
05:56Okay?
05:56You understand that?
05:57Seven of the nine.
05:58Brian, we begin with you.
06:00Want to name one or challenge one of your opponents?
06:03I'm going to start with Dracula.
06:05Dracula is a correct answer, and we have one right on the board.
06:08That now, Dracula, in the interest of clarity, will take care of all vampires.
06:15So, now we come to Linda Creamans.
06:17We're looking for specific monsters.
06:19And Linda, your choice.
06:20I will play.
06:21I'll go with Godzilla.
06:22Godzilla is another one.
06:24You'll go with him, huh?
06:26Too tall for you.
06:28Linda said she'd go with Godzilla, but he's much too tall for her, don't you think?
06:32Okay, how about you, Mindy?
06:33You got a monster on the mind?
06:34Yeah.
06:35Um, I'll go with Frankenstein.
06:37Well, you'll be a perfect couple.
06:39That's right.
06:39You got another one.
06:41What's going with someone?
06:44I have three right answers.
06:46Brian, who are you going to go?
06:47Well, just tell me what your guess is.
06:48I think I'm going to go with the Wolfman.
06:51The Wolfman is a right one, too.
06:53You got four in a row.
06:55I think Sarah Werewolf, too.
06:58Okay.
06:58Well, now then, Linda.
06:59I will say King Kong.
07:01King Kong, sweetheart.
07:02You got another one.
07:03He was a peachy guy.
07:05King Kong.
07:07King Kong was mentioned by more people than anybody else.
07:10Here are the answers so far.
07:11Dracula, Godzilla, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and King Kong.
07:16All right, Mindy.
07:17There's five right answers up there.
07:19Okay.
07:20I'm going to go, and I'm not sure.
07:22Is it Phantom of the Opera or the Dark Phantom?
07:25You know what I'm talking about?
07:26Phantom of the Opera?
07:27Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
07:28Yeah, that's the one I mean.
07:28Okay.
07:29I understand which one you mean.
07:30Oh, good.
07:31You know the trouble?
07:32What?
07:32It's wrong.
07:33Ah!
07:34Okay.
07:35Mindy, if you would, to the bench.
07:37Break for our challengers.
07:38Jim, you're going to get a shot at it now.
07:39I need two more right answers.
07:41Yeah?
07:41Or you can knock some people out.
07:43The Mummy.
07:44The Mummy.
07:45Long, I'm sorry, Jim.
07:46What?
07:47That was good, too.
07:48I liked the Mummy.
07:49I did, too.
07:49Go back over there, please, Jim.
07:51I don't need to.
07:51Control passes back to Brian.
07:53We haven't gotten any more right answers.
07:55We still need two answers.
07:56Two right ones, Brian.
07:57Or you can knock out your polis.
07:59How do you want to do it?
07:59I want to challenge Larry.
08:00Larry, you're challenged.
08:01You must come up with a monster to stay in the game.
08:04The beast with five fingers.
08:06The beast?
08:09I don't know.
08:10I don't know.
08:11I don't know.
08:13I don't know.
08:14I don't know.
08:14See you around, Larry.
08:19There it is.
08:20The beast with five fingers.
08:22Okay, we're knocking ourselves all out of the game.
08:25Now, you're up, Linda.
08:26You only have one opponent.
08:27We need two more right answers.
08:28Or you can challenge Jim, Martha, over there.
08:30What do you want to do?
08:30I'm going to challenge.
08:32Martha, it's up to you.
08:33If you missed this one, they win the round.
08:35If you get it, you gain control.
08:37Mm-hmm.
08:38All right, I'm going to say Alien.
08:41Alien is a right answer.
08:43You gain control in the back there, if you would.
08:46Now in.
08:47Hey, Martha.
08:49Look where we are, Martha.
08:51We need one more right answer.
08:52There are just two of you playing.
08:54So how are you going to do it?
08:55Be thinking, because she might call on you.
08:58What are you going to do?
08:59Answer or chance?
09:00I'm getting vibration.
09:02I'm going to give it to you, Brian.
09:04You got it, Brian.
09:05This is for the round.
09:06Get it.
09:06Your team wins the round.
09:07Miss it.
09:08Their team wins the round.
09:08Oh, you.
09:10Good luck, Brian.
09:11I was putting on my best smile.
09:12I know.
09:13Let me say, Dr. Fibes is the wrong answer, and the champions win the round.
09:26Let me see.
09:30Well, congratulations, Ken.
09:31Dr. Fibes.
09:32I never heard of him.
09:33Vincent Price.
09:34Oh, yeah, that's right.
09:35Dr. Fibes.
09:36Now, let me tell you.
09:36Let me tell you the others we could have had.
09:38Jekyll Hart.
09:39Jason from Friday the 13th.
09:41Jason.
09:44Jaws.
09:45Jaws was a monster, even though it was a real thing.
09:47And the other was The Thing.
09:49Oh, The Thing.
09:49I almost said The Thing.
09:50And then there's another one here that will interest you, Jim.
09:53The Shark with Five Fingers.
09:56No, I made that up.
09:57Let's see.
09:57I made that up.
09:59It's one round for the challengers.
10:00We'll be there for the champions.
10:02We'll be back there in just a moment.
10:03Got to work.
10:09We'll be back there.
10:19I guess when you retire, you can do that.
10:21Yes, sir.
10:21I'll try.
10:22You don't have to.
10:23It's up to you.
10:23You say so.
10:23If you win enough money here, you don't have to write anything.
10:26We're going to start with your team.
10:27Everybody listen.
10:28Here's the question.
10:30Lifesavers candies come in 16 different flavors or assortment of flavors.
10:35We have the list of the eight rolls which are the best sellers of Lifesavers.
10:41Can you name seven?
10:42That's the question.
10:43We begin with Jim.
10:44Jim, do you want to answer or challenge somebody over there?
10:47A wild cherry.
10:49Wild cherry is a right answer, Jim.
10:51You've got one right on the board.
10:54All right, Larry Bradbury, friend, what do you think?
10:56I'll answer, Bill.
10:57I'll say peppermint.
10:58Peppermint is, or peppermint, you said, is a right answer.
11:00That's two on the board.
11:02You've got some Lifesaver experts.
11:04Orange.
11:04You dig on Lifesavers, are you, Martha?
11:06Sure, orange.
11:06Orange, she says.
11:07Well, I, uh-oh, wrong.
11:10I'm sorry, Martha, dear.
11:11If you go back there and sit on the bench, control passes to the champions.
11:15Brian, what do you know about Lifesavers?
11:17I know about Winto Green.
11:18Winto Green is a right answer.
11:20We have three on the board.
11:23Linda.
11:24Butterscotch.
11:25Butterscotch, says Linda.
11:26Right answer again.
11:27Four on the board.
11:29Okay, Mindy.
11:31Oh, mine.
11:31I'm going to challenge.
11:32Challenge?
11:33Jim.
11:33Jim, you're challenged.
11:34To stay in the game, you have to come up with one of the eight best-selling Lifesavers.
11:40Uh, buttercream mint.
11:42Buttercream mint.
11:43Sounds like a great idea, but it's a wrong answer, Jim.
11:47Back to the champion.
11:49One opponent over there.
11:50Brian, you're up.
11:51We have four right answers.
11:52Need three more.
11:53Or you can try to knock off.
11:54Well, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to try, because we've got three left over here.
11:58Uh, tropical fruit.
11:59That's all the different.
12:00Tropical fruit.
12:00Right answer.
12:02You're good.
12:05Okay.
12:06Butterscotch was mentioned, by the way.
12:08That's butter rum.
12:08Let me run down.
12:09Wild cherry, peppermint, wintergreen, butterscotch, or butter rum, and tropical fruit, you said.
12:15Okay.
12:15Now, it's your turn, Linda.
12:16What do you want to do?
12:17I'm going to challenge Larry.
12:18Larry, it's up to you.
12:19If you missed this one, you're, you'll lose the round and tie the game.
12:23Get it?
12:23You gain control.
12:24Bill, I'll say pineapple.
12:25Pineapple is a wrong answer, and the champions have won the round, and we have a tie game.
12:33Okay.
12:36Fancy fruits, fancy fruits, five flavors, and spirul mint are the other ones.
12:40Next question.
12:41We're a little pressed, so here we go.
12:42Question is, which musical instrument has the most pleasing sound?
12:47We ask this question of people across the country.
12:49We have the eight instruments most often as having the most pleasing sound.
12:53We begin with Brian.
12:55Brian.
12:55I would definitely have to say, I bet it's number one, the violin.
12:58The violin is a right answer.
13:01Not number one, but a right answer.
13:03Linda Freeman.
13:04Instruments were the most pleasing sound.
13:06I will play.
13:07I will say the piano.
13:08The piano is a correct answer.
13:10Two right answers up there.
13:12Linda.
13:13Okay, this is a technical instrument.
13:15I'm going to say the harp.
13:16The harp is a right answer.
13:18Three right answers up there.
13:20For your information, piano is number one.
13:22Thank you, Brian.
13:23I'll say the flute.
13:24Flute has a delightful sound.
13:26We have four right answers.
13:28Yes.
13:31First one that popped to my mind I have not heard yet.
13:33Perhaps I will.
13:34Really?
13:34It is your turn, Linda.
13:36I will play.
13:37I'll say the guitar.
13:38Guitar is correct.
13:40Another right answer.
13:42We now have five right answers.
13:44Having been named are violin, piano, harp, flute, and guitar, or a chamber music quintet.
13:52Now then, up to you, Mindy.
13:55Either name one or challenge.
13:57I'm going to challenge.
13:58Really?
13:58Okay.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Who do you challenge?
13:59Jim.
14:00Jim?
14:01You're on the hot seat, Jim.
14:03Instrument with the most pleasing sound.
14:07Harpsichord.
14:08Harpsichord.
14:09Wrong.
14:10I'm sorry.
14:11It's sort of a fun instrument.
14:12If you'll go over there, Jim, and bury your head in your lifesavers, we come back to Brian.
14:20Brian, the picture is this.
14:22We have five right answers.
14:23We need two more.
14:24You have two opponents over there.
14:27Before he jumps, we'll conclude the game, I'll bet you.
14:29What do you want to do, Brian?
14:30I think I'll play.
14:31All right.
14:31I'm going to say the clarinet.
14:33The clarinet.
14:35Wrong, Brian.
14:36Back there.
14:37Yay.
14:38Be fair.
14:39Now then, pass us back to our challengers.
14:41And, Larry, it's up to you.
14:43This is the tie-breaking round, by the way.
14:45Larry, do you want to name one or do you want to challenge?
14:47I believe I will challenge, Bill.
14:48Whom do you challenge?
14:49I'd like to challenge Mindy.
14:50Mindy, you challenge.
14:51You have to come up with the right answer to stay in the game.
14:53Okay.
14:54If it's played real smooth, I'm going to say the saxophone.
14:58You have a right answer.
14:59And, Ray, you only need one more right answer.
15:08You have one opponent.
15:09Which way do you want to go?
15:10This is the tie-breaking round.
15:13Okay.
15:13I am going to challenge.
15:15If you get it, your team wins the round in the game.
15:18If you miss it, Martha, they win the round in the game.
15:22I'm going to say organ or pipe organ.
15:26Is right, and your challengers have won the round.
15:34Very well done.
15:35Hey, you know what?
15:36I said I had one of my own.
15:38I want to see if it ever came up.
15:39No one ever mentioned it.
15:40The one remaining, the cello.
15:42That's what I want.
15:43Which I think is just a matter of three.
15:45But it's a pure one.
15:46It is.
15:46Not everybody knows it.
15:47We'll be back here in just a moment.
15:48But right now, we...
15:49Oh, by the way, you have 30...
15:51We've got to say goodbye to Linda.
15:52Linda, $13,000.
15:58We'll be back in a minute.
15:59Right now, we've got to work.
16:00We've got to go out and earn some money.
16:09So our champion leaves with $13,000, and Larry Bradley becomes champion with $1,000.
16:14Okay, you're all ready to go now for the big money?
16:16This is our bonus.
16:17The subject of today's bonus is nicknames.
16:20I'll give you a nickname and show you the names of two famous people each time you have
16:24to match the nickname to the correct person.
16:26Jackpot now at $5,000.
16:27Larry, you're the captain.
16:28And you decide whether to play or pass.
16:31Okay, Bill.
16:31Here comes the first one for $500.
16:33Remember, you have a pass.
16:34If you're not sure, use it.
16:35That's my advice.
16:36Okay.
16:37The nickname is the King of the Cowboys.
16:41The King of the Cowboys.
16:43The choices for the person to match that is, or are, Roy Rogers or Gene Autry.
16:49Which would you say fits the King of the Cowboys?
16:52Yeah.
16:53I'm going to say Gene Autry.
16:54Go ahead.
16:54I don't know.
16:55Now, remember, you have a pass.
16:56That's all I have to say.
16:59I think we'll say Gene Autry.
17:01I was deathly afraid you would do that.
17:04Roy Rogers is known as the King of the Cowboys.
17:08Well, I am sorry.
17:10That was the one.
17:11Remember you said, how do you think we'll do?
17:12I said, well, I think you'll probably do all right.
17:14But you didn't.
17:15And I was hoping you'd use your pass there because it would have helped.
17:19The rest of them, I think, had you used your pass, and again, I don't know, and I'm not
17:22going to read them because they'll probably come up later.
17:24The rest of them, I think, you could have gone through with little or no trouble.
17:28Right now, we're going to say that you have a total of 1,000 bucks.
17:31The next time you get up here, you'll be playing for $10,000 in our bonus job.
17:39Okay, and now, let's meet our new challenges.
17:42Let's go.
17:44Hi, Bill.
17:45My name is Steve Knave.
17:46I'm a professional women's softball coach.
17:51Well done.
17:53Hi, Steve.
17:54Welcome.
17:55You tell me you're a professional women's softball coach.
17:59You mean you coach professional teams?
18:02It's a team of actresses and models that play all over the country for charity.
18:06We're going to go throughout the United States, Canada, Europe.
18:09What's the name of your team?
18:10Can you give me your name?
18:11Hollywood Cover Girls.
18:12Are they indeed Cover Girls?
18:14Yeah, some of them are.
18:15Darn good-looking teams.
18:16Listen, I haven't followed softball for a while.
18:19In my day, in my day, it sort of dates me, I guess, which not many people do, but in
18:25my day, softball had a 10-man defense, or 10 women.
18:30Well, first of all, it's women.
18:30So it would be, but we play with 9 and 10.
18:33And we cheat a lot, too.
18:34The 10 is a roving shortstop or something like that, isn't it?
18:37Yeah, we call it a rover.
18:38She's usually the girl that's the least attractive.
18:46Might your team be watching our show?
18:49Possibility.
18:50I think the next time you appoint a roving shortstop, you're going to be in a little bit
18:54of trouble.
18:55That's all I have.
18:56You all ready to play a game?
18:57Yeah.
18:58Okay, we've got our champion over here, who's sitting on $1,000, and that's Larry Bradbury.
19:03And we'll be back in just a moment to give everyone a chance to taste a little bit of
19:06the show.
19:07But right now, we're going to barge, because we've got a word for you.
19:11Who says you have to be awesome?
19:13Well, I was wrong about having time to play some of the game.
19:15We do not, but it's because our celebrities, this is their last day with us, give me an
19:19opportunity to thank them for a fine week.
19:22Martha Smith, we thank you very much.
19:23Thank you, Bill.
19:24Good to be here.
19:26Hope all goes well with a scare-throw, Mr. Tony.
19:30Larry, of course, we'll see you, Larry, when we pick up here.
19:32Brian Mitchell of Trapper John.
19:33Thank you, Brian.
19:34My pleasure, Bill.
19:38I know what people talk about when they refer to us as looking alike.
19:41I really just put glasses on you.
19:43What are you laughing at?
19:44Yeah.
19:45You're not a nice man.
19:47No, Bill.
19:48That's all right.
19:49No.
19:50Now I'm in big trouble.
19:51No, you're not.
19:51You'll never see me on Hot Potato again.
19:53You're welcome back here at any time.
19:55Mindy Cone of Packs of Life.
19:56Thank you, Mindy, dear.
19:57It's been a pleasure.
19:59We will see you.
20:00Jim Bullock, too close for comfort.
20:02Thank you, Jim.
20:03It's been a marvelous year.
20:04It's a pleasure.
20:05Get back here next week.
20:07We're going to have Marshall Wallace and Nipsey Russell,
20:09who's two of our guests.
20:10We hope you'll join us.
20:10Meantime, thank you all ever so much.
20:12Try to be with us next time we're here on Hot Potato.
20:15Goodbye.
20:15See you later.
20:20Helping isn't always easy.
21:26Forget about it.
21:28Tell me you're amazing.
21:28You
