00:00Wheel of Fortune!
00:40And now, here's your host, Pat Sajak.
00:42Hey, hey, hey.
00:44M.G. Kelly, thank you.
00:45Thanks, folks.
00:48Hi.
00:49And welcome to Wheel of Fortune.
00:50And now, a big welcome, please, for our hostess, ladies and gentlemen.
00:52I proudly present the lovely, the talented, this high, Vanna White.
00:56Here she comes, Vanna.
00:57I love you.
00:58I love you.
00:59I love you.
00:59I love you.
00:59I love you.
01:03And the Wheel Watcher Singers.
01:04And now it's time to say hello to our three players who are anxious to win a lot of cash,
01:08I would think, right?
01:09Correct.
01:09You can always use some of that, can't you?
01:11Sure.
01:11Ellen Straff is here from Livingston, New Jersey.
01:13Ellen, I want to know everything about you.
01:15Don't leave out any details.
01:16Okay.
01:16In 30 seconds or less.
01:18Yes.
01:18I'm a real estate agent.
01:19I have a wonderful family.
01:20My husband, Richie, who locked the keys in the car today before we got here.
01:24I still love you, honey.
01:25My kids, Carly and Jordan, are in the audience.
01:27And I'd like to say hello to my parents, my sister, and the Tuesday Night Wild Woman.
01:32How'd I do?
01:32You did great.
01:33All right, thank you.
01:34You have four more seconds to embarrass your husband some more on national television if
01:37you'd like.
01:37No, that's okay.
01:38All right.
01:38Lots of luck to you, Ellen.
01:39Here's Gail Collins from Lewisville, Colorado, right?
01:42That's right, Pat.
01:43Married, right?
01:44Yes.
01:45Is he here?
01:46He's here, and my parents are here, and my aunt's here, and my brother's here, and my
01:48friends here.
01:49Got a whole rooting section.
01:50Uh-huh.
01:50What do you do back in Colorado?
01:51I work at a psychiatric facility.
01:54I also work at a bar on weekends.
01:55Oh, yeah?
01:56I promised them I'd say hi.
01:57Hi, everybody.
01:58All right.
01:59Nicely done.
02:00A lot of luck to you, too.
02:01And to you, Richard.
02:02Richard Martin from Owasso, Oklahoma.
02:04It sounds like a good place.
02:06It is.
02:07It's a real place.
02:09You didn't take time to think about that or anything, did you?
02:11No.
02:11It's a good place.
02:12I really like it.
02:12How big a town are we talking about here?
02:14About 15,000.
02:15Yeah?
02:16Good.
02:16Now, you were in security work for a long time, retired now.
02:19You have a big family, Richard.
02:21Yes.
02:22We've raised 13 children, and we have 29 grandchildren.
02:25We've been married 23 years.
02:26Wow.
02:27That's terrific.
02:28And...
02:32You want to name them?
02:33No.
02:34No, we shouldn't.
02:34We probably want to play the game.
02:35Why don't we do that?
02:36We have a $1,000 space on our wheel, and those numbers will just grow to incredible heights
02:41before we're through here.
02:42We are playing for cash, don't forget.
02:44And let's take a look at our first puzzle.
02:46People is the category.
02:48Remember, people does not always mean proper names.
02:50And just before the show, we do numbers to see which start the game.
02:53Ellen, it's going to be you.
02:53Good luck.
02:54Big money.
02:56Come on, big money, big money.
03:00$2.50.
03:01S.
03:02Yes, one S.
03:05I'll spin.
03:13$300.
03:14$300.
03:15And one R.
03:16$550.
03:18I'd like to buy a vowel pad.
03:19Sure.
03:20An E, please.
03:21Mm-hmm.
03:22One E.
03:23I'm building backwards here.
03:25I'll spin again.
03:26Come on, Ellen.
03:29Come on, big money.
03:32$700.
03:33An N, please.
03:34Yeah, good work.
03:35Three Ns.
03:36All right.
03:37Ellen's going very well.
03:38You're up to $2,400 already.
03:40I'd like to buy another vowel.
03:42Okay.
03:42I'd like to buy an O.
03:43Ooh, sorry.
03:44No O.
03:45Gail.
03:46Gail.
03:48Come on.
03:54$200.
03:55A G, please.
03:56No, there's no G.
03:58Richard.
03:59All right.
04:00Come on, big money.
04:01Big money.
04:05Hey, Richard, looks like you might get a free spin there.
04:08That's right in front of you.
04:09All right.
04:09Pass that down, please, and let us know when you want to use that.
04:12In the meantime, spin that thing again.
04:14Come on.
04:22$500.
04:23A T, please.
04:24T, did it say?
04:25Yes.
04:26I'm afraid not.
04:26No T. You're going to hold on to that free spin.
04:28That's all right.
04:29Okay, Ellen, go ahead.
04:36What do we have here?
04:37$400.
04:38D, please.
04:39One D.
04:39Yeah, you're back on track.
04:41$25.50.
04:42I'd like to buy another vowel.
04:43An A.
04:44That's the one you want.
04:45There are three A's.
04:49Okay, now, you have $2,300, Ellen.
04:52What do you want me to do?
04:52I'm going to have to spin it.
04:54Okay.
04:58$450.
05:02A C.
05:03Yeah, this might help you out.
05:04One, two, three C's.
05:08Helen, $3,650.
05:10Can you solve this puzzle?
05:12I hope so.
05:13Go ahead.
05:13Can-can dancers.
05:15Yeah, that's right.
05:18I knew that C was coming, and it would please you, my friend.
05:20I needed that C.
05:22That's just a funny-looking word when you see it in friend, isn't it?
05:25Can-can, I'm talking about.
05:26It looks good to me now.
05:27Well, thank you.
05:29Why am I saying?
05:29$3,650.
05:31That's what you have in cash at this moment.
05:34Okay.
05:34And in our next round, we're going to put a $2,500 space on the wheel
05:36and a special prize, a watch.
05:40M.G.?
05:40Helen, for the man of distinction, and we know you know one,
05:44Lucien Picard's 14-carat gold timepiece.
05:47The Swiss-crafted designer watch will make you the envy of everyone you know
05:51from Lucien Picard.
05:52$3,490.
05:55It's not a Playhouse 90 audition.
05:59Players will land on that prize, we'll put it in your bank,
06:01and if you solve the puzzle, that will be yours.
06:03And here's that puzzle now.
06:05The category is phrased this time, and Gail looks ready to start.
06:08I'm ready.
06:11Come on, $2,500.
06:16$700.
06:17How about a T?
06:18That's a fine beginning for you.
06:20Four Ts, Gail.
06:22That adds up to a quick $2,800.
06:25I'll spin.
06:26Sure.
06:28Come on.
06:29Come on, $2,500.
06:32$200.
06:33How about an H?
06:35Yep.
06:35One H.
06:36$3,000.
06:38I'll spin.
06:39I'd like to buy an E.
06:40That makes sense.
06:41But just one.
06:42That keeps it going, though.
06:43You have $2,750 left.
06:44I'll spin.
06:48Come on, $2,500.
06:51$400.
06:52How about an R?
06:54Yes.
06:54Two Rs.
06:55Another $800.
06:58$8,500.
06:59Okay, I'll spin.
07:02Come on, $2,500.
07:04Come on.
07:06What do you think?
07:08Yeah.
07:10Okay.
07:11Like an N?
07:13There are two Ns.
07:14Yes, ma'am.
07:18$8,550.
07:20What do you want to do?
07:20I would like to buy an O.
07:22Yep.
07:22On she goes.
07:23Two Os.
07:26You can buy another.
07:27Spin it.
07:27Solve it.
07:28I'll spin.
07:36$300.
07:37How about a Y?
07:39Yes.
07:39Two Ys.
07:40Getting close to $9,000 now.
07:44I'd like to solve it.
07:46Well, do it.
07:46Taking the country by storm.
07:48Yeah, very good.
07:50Hey, hey, hey.
07:52That's a lot of money.
07:56I know.
07:57I don't know if you're keeping count, but that's $8,900.
08:00You seem to be aware of that.
08:02I'll tell you what, we have a lot more money to give away.
08:04The vaults are just crammed with dough.
08:06We have $3,500 space in the wheel.
08:07We'll get to that in just a minute.
08:08Please, stay with us.
08:09Don't go anywhere.
08:10There's nothing else on TV worth watching.
08:22You know, this show is packing everything up into like a big U-Haul,
08:25and we're all going to New York and do some shows at Radio City Music Hall in just a few
08:29weeks,
08:30and participating stations which carry the show.
08:32Maybe the very one you're watching now, you never know.
08:34We'll be having contests to maybe take you along.
08:37So be watching, and we're going to be telling you more about that over the coming weeks and days and
08:41months and perhaps years.
08:42Now, let's look at the puzzle, or let's look at the wheel.
08:45Let's look at anything you want.
08:46This is America.
08:47It's a $3,500 space out there.
08:49Now let's look at the puzzle.
08:50It's a phrase.
08:52Why am I talking like this?
08:54Richard, your turn.
08:54All right.
08:55Come on, big money.
08:57Come on, big money.
09:03$400.

09:06We have an N.
09:07In fact, we have two of them, and you have $800.
09:09All right.
09:12Spin it.
09:15Come on, big money.
09:20No, no, no.
09:21I feel just the same way.
09:22You're going to pass that free spin.
09:23Okay, go ahead and spin the wheel.
09:34$700.
09:34A G.
09:36No, no G.
09:37Sorry.

10:03I'll spin again.
10:07Come on, big money, big money.

10:13You give it your best there, yeah.
10:15Two Rs, and you're up to $900.
10:17Okay, I'd like to buy a vowel.
10:19Okay.
10:20I would like to buy an E.
10:23There are some, uh, are there?
10:26Yeah, one, two, three.
10:32I think we have one more.
10:34Yeah, yeah, we'll just keep moving down.
10:36And, uh, I think that's it, Vanna.
10:38Take a peek.
10:38Yeah, okay, good.
10:39All right.
10:40Okay, Ellen.
10:42Okay.
10:43I would like to buy another vowel.
10:44Mm-hmm.
10:45I'd like to buy an I.
10:46Well, I'd like to find out if we have any.
10:47Let's, uh, try.
10:50Oh, yeah.
10:51Yeah, there they are.
10:53I'll spin.
10:54Come on, big money, big money.
11:00$500.

11:19I'm going to have to spin it.
11:21Okay.
11:27$700.
11:28I would like an F.
11:30Yes, one F.
11:32$1,750.
11:33I'm gonna keep going for it.
11:34Do it.
11:34Come on, some big money up here.
11:35$3,500.
11:36$3,500.
11:37Come on, no bank loans.
11:38Big money.
11:40$1,000.
11:40How about $600?
11:41Okay, an H.
11:42Okay, there's one H.
11:44Well, $2,350.
11:46You have another decision to make.
11:47Oh, one more time.
11:48All right.
11:51Come on, big money.
11:52Big money.
11:52Big money.
11:53Keep going.
11:54Keep going.
11:56Oh, yes.

12:01Now, you can go again if you want to.
12:03You have 33.
12:04Nah.
12:04Okay, solve it.
12:05I think I'll solve the puzzle.
12:06First-hand experience.
12:08Yeah, that's it.
12:11Enough's enough.
12:11You don't want to be a fanatic about the thing.
12:15Get some impressive totals here.
12:16$5,700 for you, and I remind everybody, we're gonna put a $5,000 space on the wheel for
12:22our next round, and we're gonna rack up money here that'll just be unbelievable.
12:25Come on back.
12:28Let me correct something.
12:30Ellen's total to this point is $7,000.
12:32It was my fault.
12:33All right.
12:34We have a $5,000 space on the wheel.
12:36There it is.
12:37And we've added another special prize.
12:40M.G. Kelly will tell you all about it now.
12:41Oh, I certainly will.
12:42This is so nice, too.
12:43Kimbell's La Petite Grand Piano.
12:45High-polished lacquer cherry finish.
12:47A traditional grand piano bat.
12:49Fullness of tone and responsive touch using minimum floor space.
12:52From Kimbell, $5,898.
12:57There it is.
12:58All you have to do is land on it and end up solving the puzzle.
13:00That piano will be yours.
13:02And we'll get right to that puzzle now.
13:03It's a thing.
13:04This is round four.
13:05We'll go back to you to start, Ellen.
13:06Okay.
13:07Let's go, $5,000.
13:09Come on, $5,000.
13:12Stop.
13:15Thought you were going to be okay.
13:16Sorry.
13:16Gail.
13:22Hmm.
13:24Well.
13:25Richard, do you think you can stop this trend here?
13:27I got it.
13:33That's better.
13:34$3,50.
13:36A T.
13:37But there's no T, unfortunately.
13:39A N.
13:39Yeah.
13:39Ellen.
13:46No, I think not.
13:47$1,500.
13:49N, please.
13:50And there are three N's and you have $4,500 just like that.
13:56I'd like to buy a vowel.
13:57Okay.
13:58I'd like to buy an O.
14:00There is no O, oddly enough.
14:02Gail.
14:02I'll spin.
14:05Come on, big money.
14:08I'll pass it.
14:09Yeah.
14:10$1,500 for you.
14:12Okay.
14:12I'd like an S.
14:14And here comes an S.
14:17I'll spin.
14:25Maybe.
14:26Oh, yes.
14:27Gail, lift that piano and put it in front of you.
14:29That'll be yours if you end up solving a puzzle without hitting a bankrupt, of course, before you do.
14:32300 under there.
14:33Let's have a letter.
14:34How about an R?
14:35Yeah.
14:35There are some R's.
14:36There are two of them.
14:40Okay.
14:40I'd like to buy an I.
14:41Uh-huh.
14:42Yeah.
14:42Here comes an I.
14:44Now, Gail, you have $1,850 and you have the piano.
14:47What do you want to do?
14:48I'd like to buy an E.
14:50We'll give you some E's.
14:56I'll spin.
15:04That's right.
15:06Uh, $200.
15:07I'd like a C.
15:09Yeah, there is one C.
15:11Doing very well.
15:12Ooh.

15:32I'd like an M.
15:33Sure, two M's.
15:35Yeah, you're getting close to $2,000.
15:37I'd like to solve the puzzle.
15:38Go ahead.
15:39Name.
15:39Brand.
15:40Merchandise.
15:41You got it.
15:41Yes, you got it.
15:43Hot stuff.
15:44Yes.
15:47That's the piano.
15:48You got more cash.
15:49Uh, with cash and prizes, you're up to $16,748 when you add that magic piano.
15:56You folks have somewhere to go or do you want to play another one?
15:58Let's play another one.
15:59It seems to be unanimous.
16:01Here's our next puzzle.
16:03This time we're looking for a phrase and, uh, that sounds like time's running out to
16:07me and I'll give the wheel a final spin.
16:09I'll ask you to give me a letter from the puzzle.
16:10I'll have five seconds to solve it.
16:13Wowels worth nothing.
16:14Consonants worth.
16:15Well, $2.50, the best we can come up with.
16:18Phrase is the category.
16:19Gail, we start with you.
16:20A letter, please.
16:20A T.
16:21Yes, one T.
16:23And you have five seconds to wrestle with that.
16:31Richard.
16:31No, that's all right.
16:32Just give us a letter.
16:33Oh, I'm sorry.
16:33That's okay.
16:34It's a tempting sight there.
16:35An N.
16:36Uh-huh.
16:37There's one N.
16:39And you have five seconds.
16:46Ellen.
16:47S.
16:48Yep.
16:49One S.
16:49Everybody with $250.
16:52Phrase.
16:58Gail.
16:59R.
16:59Yeah, two Rs takes you to $750.
17:02Whisper it in my ear.
17:04How'd you get that?
17:05Yeah, that's it.
17:10That's what it says.
17:11I know.
17:12That was borderline spooky.
17:16$750.
17:17You did very well.
17:18$17,498.
