00:00Is it true that Frenchmen may not join the Foreign Legion?
00:04You'll find out as one of these three contestants wins the chance to drive home
00:09in this brand new Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in just a split second.
00:16And now, here's the star of our show, Monty Hall!
00:25Thank you. Welcome to our show.
00:27That was an intriguing question.
00:29You know, it is true that Frenchmen may not join the Foreign Legion.
00:32And even if they could, they wouldn't join.
00:33The food is terrible.
00:34You know how the French are about food, right?
00:36So we have our returning champion on split second today, Pat Wood, as I remember.
00:41That's right, Pat and Chris and Joellen.
00:43Let's find out more about them, Sandy.
00:44First of all, Monty, our returning champion,
00:47who parlayed her knowledge into a winning purse of $1,635 on her first show, Pat Wood.
00:55Next, a man whose career is saving tax dollars for the government,
00:59and whose hobby is saving political posters, Chris McKillop.
01:04And on your right, a career management training specialist who, when she makes up her mind to do something, goes
01:10for it,
01:10like returning to piano lessons, only now she has no piano, Joellen Logan.
01:16Well, maybe we'll get you a piano, Joellen, and we'll try our best.
01:20Pat, I noticed on yesterday's show, lurking in the background,
01:23there was a handsome gentleman and a 15-year-old boy, and it looked like they belonged to you.
01:28Yes, they do.
01:28It's my husband and my younger son.
01:30Just dying to get into that car, weren't they?
01:32They sure were.
01:32Well, should you win again today, the odds will be better for you, and we wish you a lot of
01:36luck.
01:37And Chris, what was that about tax dollars?
01:39I didn't get the drift of that one.
01:40Do you work for the government?
01:41Yes, and I have a full-time job trying to save them for people.
01:45Oh, that's very nice of you.
01:46You save them what?
01:47I'm a management consultant, so we try to cut costs where we can.
01:51Oh, I see.
01:51Well, I got a good idea for you.
01:52Trim about half the people off the payroll, and it'd be a terrific save.
01:57However, I don't want to get too personal about things like that,
01:59and we're going to find out about those piano lessons from our last young lady in just a moment.
02:03But we start on split second today, and let me tell everybody at home how we play the game.
02:07As you know, there are three answers to each question,
02:10but I only want one answer from each of our contestants.
02:13If all three of you give me a correct answer in our first round, it's worth $10 to each of
02:17you.
02:17If two of you answer the question, it's worth $25,
02:20but if only one person comes up with an answer, it's worth $50 in this first round.
02:24You get poised to hit your button, but not until the question comes up on the screen.
02:28It's wired so that you can't hit it until a question comes up,
02:31and then we'll find out who's first, second, third to answer the question.
02:34Here we go with our first round.
02:37The 1986 Emmy Awards had some repeat winners and also some surprise winners.
02:41I'll name the Emmy category.
02:43You pick one and tell me the winner.
02:44Look at the screen.
02:45Who won it for Situation Comedy?
02:47For Best Actor, Situation Comedy, Best Actress, Situation Comedy?
02:51Joellen.
02:52The Best Situation Comedy, The Cosby Show?
02:54No, that didn't win it this year.
02:56Pat?
02:56Best Actress, Situation Comedy was Michael J. Fox.
03:00Best Actor?
03:01Best Actor.
03:02Yes, I thought you said Actress.
03:03I didn't think Michael had changed quite so soon, but that is absolutely correct.
03:06Chris, what do you say?
03:08Best Actress, Situation Comedy, Shelley Long?
03:10No, Betty White won it, and the Golden Girls won it, the show that she is in.
03:13So, Pat, you knock off the only answer in that category and get $50.
03:18There are 16 major and minor prophets in the Bible.
03:21Tell me, yes or no, are these three prophets?
03:24Daniel, Nathaniel, Isaiah.
03:26Pat?
03:27Daniel's a prophet.
03:28Yes, he is.
03:28Chris?
03:29Isaiah is a prophet.
03:30Yes, he is.
03:30Joellen?
03:31Nathaniel, no.
03:32Absolutely right.
03:33Three out of three there.
03:34Everybody scored.
03:36You're at a fancy French restaurant, so you're not eating with the French Foreign Legion.
03:40And you're ready for dessert.
03:42I'll show you three fruit desserts you'd find on the menu.
03:44You name the fruit.
03:45There they are.
03:46Poix.
03:47Elaine, Peche Cardinal, and Tartel Fraze.
03:49Pat?
03:50First one is pears.
03:51Correct.
03:52Joellen?
03:53Peche Cardinal is peach.
03:54Right.
03:55And the third one?
03:55Chris?
03:56Strawberries.
03:56All three are correct again, and get $10 a piece.
04:00I'm going to give you three famous quotes associated with three equally famous TV shows.
04:04Pick a quote.
04:05Tell me the show it goes with.
04:06Look at the screen.
04:07Just the facts, ma'am.
04:08Come on down.
04:10And to the moon, Alice.
04:11And Chris?
04:12Come on down.
04:13The price is right.
04:14That's right.
04:14Pat?
04:15To the moon, Alice is the honeymooners.
04:17Yeah, that's Jackie Gleason's favorite saying.
04:19And Joellen?
04:19Just the facts, ma'am.
04:21Just the facts, ma'am.
04:23Well, that was Jack Webb's dragnet.
04:25So Chris and Pat each get themselves some money and forge ahead.
04:31We use the names of countries to describe items.
04:34I'll give you three items.
04:36Pick one and use the country's name that completes the item.
04:39Country's name that completes checkers, nut, and towel.
04:42And Chris?
04:43Chinese checkers.
04:44Chinese checkers is good.
04:46Pat?
04:46Brazil nut.
04:47Is right.
04:48And what kind of a towel?
04:50Nut.
04:51Joellen, how about a Turkish towel to wrap you up in?
04:54Oh, I'm sorry.
04:55Our champion, Pat, has $95.
04:57No, not $120 now.
04:58Chris at $70.
04:59Joellen at $20.
05:01I'll show you the names of three professional athletes.
05:03You tell me their famous nicknames.
05:05Let's see how good you are at this one.
05:07Here they are.
05:08Now you give me their nicknames.
05:10A little dubious there on Joellen's part.
05:12Chris?
05:13William Perry is the refrigerator.
05:14Oh, you knew that one.
05:15And Pat?
05:16Ron Say is the penguin.
05:17Good for you.
05:18And Joellen, Julius Irving is known as?
05:21Dr. J.
05:22And so Chris and Pat are doing just fine.
05:25Joellen, you better start making a comeback.
05:28Well, enough money to buy that piano.
05:30Don't forget.
05:31I'll give you the titles of three big number one hits.
05:34Pick one and tell me the female singer that took it to the top.
05:37Look at the screen.
05:39You light up my life, 9 to 5.
05:41And Betty Davis' eyes.
05:42Chris?
05:429 to 5.
05:43Dolly Parton.
05:43Correct.
05:44Pat?
05:45You light up my life, Debbie Boone.
05:46Correct.
05:47Joellen, who sang Betty Davis' eyes?
05:49Oh, I can see her and I can't say the name.
05:51Her name is Kim Carnes.
05:53Now you can see her and know her at the same time.
05:54But no money for you.
05:56Here are the names of three famous men who were vice presidents of the United States.
06:00Pick one and name the president that he served under.
06:03John Garner, Harry Truman, Henry Wallace.
06:05Chris?
06:06Harry Truman, Franklin Roosevelt.
06:08That is correct.
06:09Pat?
06:11John Garner.
06:13No answer.
06:14Joellen?
06:15Sorry.
06:16You should have all said the same thing because they all served under Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
06:19Chris knew that all the time.
06:20And he scores a big 50 in that round being the only one to answer.
06:24That puts you in a tie with Pat for first place.
06:28If you want reservations at a top hotel, you'll have to know in what cities you would find these famous
06:32hotels.
06:33Look, where would you find Claridge's and Fairmont and Raffles?
06:36Pat?
06:37Claridge's is London.
06:38Yep.
06:38Chris?
06:39Raffles is in Singapore.
06:40That's a very good answer.
06:41Joellen?
06:41The Fairmont is in?
06:42New York?
06:43No, it's where I left my heart.
06:44San Francisco.
06:45That's right.
06:46But I can't give you any money for that one.
06:48Here's a hodgepodge of questionable information.
06:50You pick one and tell me if it's true or false.
06:52Avocado is a fruit.
06:55Marmaduke is a comic strip cat.
06:57And U.S. $1,000 bills are illegal to spend.
06:59There they are.
07:00You tell me.
07:01True or false.
07:02Chris?
07:03Marmaduke is not a comic strip cat.
07:05Nope.
07:06It is not a comic strip cat.
07:07Joellen?
07:08Avocado is a fruit.
07:09Avocado is a fruit.
07:10And Pat?
07:11I think it's legal to spend them.
07:13It's false.
07:14You say it's legal, so the answer is false.
07:16You're right.
07:16It's just hard to get them to spend.
07:18That's what it is.
07:18All three of you score on that one and add some money to your amount.
07:23The great nation of Canada is bordered by ten states of the United States.
07:27Here are three states.
07:28Tell me, do they border Canada?
07:29Look at the screen.
07:30Do these states border Canada?
07:31New York, Idaho, and Wyoming.
07:33Pat?
07:33Idaho does.
07:34Yep.
07:34Chris?
07:35New York does.
07:36Yep.
07:36Joellen?
07:37Wyoming, no.
07:37That is correct.
07:38Three out of three there for some more money.
07:43And that is the end of the first round.
07:45At the end of the first round, we have a tie game between Pat and Chris and Joellen trails.
07:49But remember, Joellen, in our next round, we double the stakes, get over your nervousness,
07:53come back, and let's see it come from behind.
08:17Promotional considerations by Maximum Strength Cortisone 5 relieves both itching and irritating
08:22rashes.
08:23Cortisone 5 gets under your itch for soothing relief and health and healing.
08:27Use as directed.
08:28And Kentucky Fried Chicken and Buttermilk Biscuits.
08:30You've got a right to chicken done right.
08:32At Kentucky Fried Chicken, we do chicken right.
08:43Joellen, just before we go into the second round, let me assure you that you can still
08:46make a comeback.
08:47Just get to go over a little bit of those nerves.
08:49You know, you play the piano, don't you?
08:51Mm-hmm.
08:51And remember when you sat down the first time, how nervous you were?
08:54And then you got worse.
08:57Right.
08:57No.
08:58This time, you're going to sit down, and you're going to get better.
09:00You're right there.
09:01Okay.
09:01That's right.
09:01Joellen, I want you to do well the second round.
09:03Make a fight out of it with Chris and Pat as we go into the second round where we double
09:07the stakes, and that means it's possible for you to catch up in a hurry.
09:10Now, as I say, we double the stakes this time, and more than that, we're trying to get the
09:14advantage in the countdown round because the one with the most money will have that advantage.
09:18All right.
09:18Here we go.
09:19Get poised.
09:19We're going to talk about pop music.
09:21Scene groups have made hit songs out of days of the week.
09:25I'll give you the title of three songs.
09:26You tell me the name of the group that made the song famous.
09:28Look at the screen.
09:29There is Monday, Monday, Wednesday morning, 3 a.m., and Tuesday afternoon.
09:33Pat.
09:33Monday, Monday is the Mamas and the Papas.
09:35Correct.
09:35Joellen.
09:45That's a very interesting group.
09:47That's the way they talk and they sing, but they do have names.
09:50Wednesday morning with Simon and Garfunkel, and Tuesday afternoon is the Moody Blues.
09:54Pat picks up a big $100 because in this round, as I said, we double the score.
09:59If three of you get part of it, you get 20.
10:01If two of you get it, it's 50, and one of you gets 100, and that's what Pat did to
10:03jump
10:04into a big lead.
10:04Here are three groups of threesomes where each group has won the same event or prize.
10:09Pick a group, name the specific event or prize that they won.
10:12Look at the screen.
10:15We've got groups up there, and you just pick one of the groups and tell me what they all
10:18won.
10:19Chris.
10:20Curie, Einstein, and Marconi won the Nobel Prize.
10:22That is correct.
10:23Pat.
10:23Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Merrill won Best Actress, Academy Award.
10:27Good for you.
10:28And Joellen, how about Kelly Cash, Charlene Wells, and Lee Merriweather?
10:31Oh, goodness.
10:31It's all I can think of is something to do with country music.
10:34No, Miss America.
10:35They're all Miss Americas.
10:37Oh, that's right.
10:37And very nice ladies, too.
10:39It's dinner time, and you want to start your meal with soup.
10:42I'll give you the names of three dishes.
10:43Pick one and tell me yes or no if it's a soup.
10:45Look at the screen.
10:46They are gazpacho, peroski, and borscht.
10:50Chris.
10:50Gazpacho is a soup.
10:51Yes, a spicy Spanish tomato soup served cold.
10:55I could use some right now.
10:56How about you?
10:57Joellen.
10:58Borscht is a soup.
10:59Yes, Eastern European soup containing beets and usually cabbage served hot or cold.
11:03And Pat?
11:04I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's a soup.
11:06Peroski.
11:07I'm going to tell you what it is.
11:07You're right.
11:08It's little meat turnovers from Russia.
11:09And they are delicious, but you guessed right, and you all score points.
11:15As a matter of fact, that would make a wonderful meal.
11:17Here are three great books that have been made into movies several times, and each title
11:21names a young lady.
11:22You fill in the missing name of the young lady in this list of titles.
11:25Look at the screen.
11:27The name of the lady of Green Gables, Sunnybrook Farm, and the Dubervilles.
11:30Pat?
11:30Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
11:32Mm-hmm.
11:32Chris?
11:33Anne of Green Gables.
11:34Yes.
11:34And who was the Duberville?
11:35Joellen?
11:36Oh.
11:37Her name was Tess.
11:39Tess was her name.
11:41Again, Pat and Chris are pulling away.
11:43Geography.
11:44The Great Lakes.
11:46Four of the five Great Lakes are shared by the United States and Canada.
11:49I'll show you some of the chief ports on these lakes.
11:52You tell me the name of the Great Lake they're on.
11:53Look at the screen.
11:55Thunder Bay, Canada.
11:56Cleveland, Ohio.
11:57Toronto, Canada.
11:58Chris?
11:59Cleveland's on Lake Erie.
12:00That is correct.
12:01Joellen?
12:02Thunder Bay's on Lake Superior.
12:03That is correct.
12:04Pat?
12:04Toronto, Canada's on Lake Ontario.
12:06All three are correct.
12:07All three get money.
12:12It's rhyme time.
12:13Here are clues to three words that end with the letters S-H and rhyme with cash.
12:19They rhyme with cash and an S-H.
12:21Pick a clue and give me the word that ends in S-H.
12:23Look at the screen.
12:24There's a recent film about a mermaid, a TV series about Korea, and a word for a 100-yard
12:28race.
12:29These should be easy for you.
12:30Pat?
12:30TV series Korea is MASH.
12:32MASH rhymes with cash.
12:33Chris?
12:34Mermaid film Splash.
12:35Splash rhymes with cash.
12:36And Joellen?
12:37What's the word for a 100-yard race?
12:39A dash.
12:39A 100-yard dash.
12:40I guess you all score there.
12:45Make a lot of money, we'll go out and have a bash.
12:47You know what I mean?
12:48Many books become not only big bestsellers, but hit movies as well.
12:51I'll give you the names of three blockbuster books that became hit movies.
12:54Pick one.
12:55Name the well-known author of the book.
12:57Look at the screen.
12:58Airport.
12:59Portnoy's Complaint.
13:00Roots.
13:00Joellen?
13:01Arthur Haley for Airport.
13:04Yes.
13:05Chris?
13:05Alex Haley for Roots.
13:07God.
13:07That's good.
13:09Pat?
13:11Don't know.
13:13Now, Pat, Portnoy's Complaint was written by Philip Roth.
13:17So now let's go on to geography.
13:19Every day, China becomes more important in world affairs, and we learn more and more about
13:22her.
13:23So tell me, yes or no, are the following places in China?
13:26Look at the screen.
13:27The Gobi Desert, Singapore, and Shanghai.
13:30Chris?
13:30Shanghai is in China.
13:31Yes, it is.
13:32And Joellen?
13:33Singapore, no.
13:34Singapore is not.
13:35And Pat?
13:35Gobi Desert is.
13:36Yes, all three are correct.
13:38Let's go on to the next question.
13:41Next category is vegetables.
13:43A corn is a type of squash.
13:45Beefsteak is a type of tomato.
13:47Here are the names for three other types of vegetables.
13:50Pick one.
13:50Name the vegetable that goes with it.
13:52Look at the screen.
13:54A russet, a fordhook, and romaine.
13:56Chris?
13:57A russet is a potato.
13:58That is correct.
13:59Joellen?
14:00Romaine is lettuce.
14:01Yes, and Pat?
14:03Fordhook.
14:03Don't know.
14:04Lima beans.
14:05They tell me that's what it is.
14:06And Chris and Joellen score.
14:08And as time runs out at the end of the second round, let me review the score.
14:12Do you know what we have?
14:13We've got a tie game.
14:14Pat and Chris are tied, and they'll be tied going into the countdown round.
14:19And Joellen will be just one behind them because she's in third place.
14:22The countdown round is the one that decides who is going to go for that car.
14:25And we'll get to that exciting countdown round right after these messages.
14:51Promotional consideration by Ronson Cleanall, the spot remover system.
14:55Why use professional dry cleaners when you can take out stains yourself?
14:59Cleanall by Ronson.
15:00Some questions on Split Second authenticated by World Book's 22-volume encyclopedia, including
15:06research guide and index volume.
15:08Easy to use, easy to read, and easy to understand World Book.
15:16Welcome back.
15:17This is the countdown round, which determines who goes for the car.
15:20Now, the questions are just as before, but this time when you buzz in, you can answer
15:24one, two, or all three parts of the question.
15:26This is a handicap race, as you know, so those who are leading will have the edge over the
15:31others.
15:31Since Pat and Chris were tied at $495, they each will have to answer four questions.
15:37Joellen, you trail, you have to answer five questions.
15:40We count down from zero every time.
15:42There is an incorrect answer.
15:46We'll count down one.
15:47The first to zero is going to win the game.
15:48Okay, now Pat and Chris, you have the edge.
15:51Here we go with science.
15:53Get poised now.
15:55We know that a thermometer measures temperature.
15:58Tell me what each of these devices measures.
16:00Look at the screen.
16:02A chronometer, a nanometer, and a micrometer, or micrometer.
16:07Joellen.
16:08Micrometer distance, like space, small spaces.
16:12Small spaces, yes.
16:13I'm going to accept small distances.
16:14Thickness or small distances is correct.
16:16Chris.
16:16Oh, no, you continue, Joellen.
16:20Cronometer, the first one, time.
16:21That's correct, and you can continue again.
16:25An eminometer.
16:26An eminometer.
16:27An eminometer, Chris.
16:27Windspeed.
16:28You've got yourself another point, so now take a look at this.
16:30Joellen, coming from behind, has three to go.
16:32Chris has three to go.
16:33Our champ has four to go.
16:34If you were to select 20 of the world's greatest books, these three would be sure to be on the
16:39list.
16:39Name the authors.
16:40Look at the screen.
16:41Gulliver's Travels, Don Quixote, and War and Peace, and Joellen.
16:46War and Peace, Tolstoy.
16:47That's right.
16:48Continue.
16:50Gulliver's Travels.
16:52Sorry, Chris.
16:53Don Quixote, Cervantes.
16:55Cervantes, and Gulliver's Travels.
16:56Is Defoe.
16:58No, I'm sorry.
16:59Can you give it to me, Pat?
17:01Gulliver's Travels.
17:02No, I can't.
17:02Jonathan Swift.
17:04Let's take a look at the score.
17:05Pat still needs four.
17:06Chris and Joellen can go out on the next question, because they just need two.
17:09And there are three parts to the question.
17:11Pencils are mostly made from cedar.
17:13Outdoor furniture is often made from redwood.
17:15Here are three other items that are usually made from the wood of a certain tree.
17:20Name the wood they're usually made of.
17:22Look at the screen, and there they are.
17:23Whiskey barrels, Major League Baseball bats, and model airplanes.
17:26Chris?
17:26Model airplanes are made of balsa.
17:28One more, and you could be a champion.
17:30Whiskey barrels are made of oak.
17:32You've got yourself a championship.
17:44You sure know your whiskey barrels, Chris.
17:47I will say that much for you.
17:48Anyhow, you're a brand new champion, and you are going to get yourself a chance to go for the car
17:52in a few moments.
17:53I'd like to say goodbye, first of all, to Joellen down here.
17:55You started to come along near the end.
17:57You were getting better as the game went on.
17:59Sorry you didn't come through, but you still end up with $220.
18:02It was delightful having you on the show.
18:04Good luck, and I hope you get that piano.
18:06And to our former champion, Pat, I would like to say that you were a delightful contestant.
18:10And you were very sharp, too, and you just got nosed out by a very good guy sitting in the
18:14middle.
18:14You won $1,635 yesterday, and you picked up $495 today, so you leave us with $2,130.
18:22That's great.
18:22Thank you very much.
18:24Wonderful having you on the show.
18:26Now, Chris, you join me out here because Chris and I are going to take a little walk, and when
18:32we walk, we are going to walk all the way back there and take a look and see if he
18:36can win his car.
18:37Let's go, Chris.
18:46We'll be right back to see if Chris McKillen can win the $16,000-plus Pontiac Firebird Trans Am after
18:54this.
18:56Automobiles for the staff, split-second provided by Ontario Rent-A-Car.
18:59For dependability and reliability at a reasonable price, big or small, we rent them all.
19:03Ontario Rent-A-Car.
19:05Accommodations for Monty Hall and the split-second staff provided by the Toronto Hilton Harbor Castle, Toronto's only downtown hotel
19:10on the lake.
19:11Featuring first-class dining in the award-winning Chateauneuf, the Toronto Hilton Harbor Castle.
19:15The car on today's show was provided by Addison Cadillac, the leading General Motors dealership in downtown Toronto.
19:21Addison on Bay.
19:27Well, Chris, this is the car that you're going to try to win in a few seconds.
19:30I'll have Sandy describe it for you.
19:31Well, Monty, it's the sporty Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
19:36It's equipped with all of Trans Am's standard features like fuel-injected V8 engine, cruise control, and AM-FM stereo
19:42cassette player,
19:43plus automatic transmission and air conditioning.
19:47Okay, you have qualified to select one of our five split-second screens that are behind me.
19:52As you know, when you're a first-day winner, you have to select from five.
19:55If you're a two-day winner, you select from four.
19:57A three-day winner selects from three and so on.
19:59You're a first-day winner.
20:00You have to choose one of five of our screens.
20:03The car is behind one of them.
20:04Which one do you choose?
20:05I'll try number three.
20:06He's going to try number three.
20:08So all eyes on number three now as we focus in on it.
20:12Turn it around and see if it says car.
20:14It says $1,000.
20:17Well, $1,000 ain't bad, but let's just see where that car was hidden on today's show.
20:23Where was the car hidden today?
20:24It was behind number one again.
20:27And if you were an odds player, you might have gone back to that one.
20:29But anyhow, you add $1,000 to your winning.
20:32You won $495 on the show.
20:34You're up to $1,495.
20:36And as I explained, should you come back at our next show, should you win again?
20:41And the competition is tough.
20:43Then you would not only add the money and keep the money that you've won, as all our contestants do,
20:47but then you'd have a chance to come up here and select one of four screens.
20:51Incidentally, people ask me, what if a person wins five days in a row?
20:54He has a choice of one screen.
20:55He automatically wins the car.
20:57So that's a good thing to keep in mind, too.
20:58So for the time being, Chris McKillop, it's a delight having you on the show.
21:01You were an excellent contestant, and so were the others.
21:04Ms. Wood and our young baby who wants the piano very badly.
21:08Good luck to all of you, and thank you for watching us today on Split Second.
21:11We enjoyed having you.
21:12Come back and join us next time.
21:14Bobby Hall saying bye-bye, everybody.
22:37Split Second is a Stephan Hader's Monty Hall production.
