whether or not they're on the edge of their seat.
Probably not, with already $278,450 in the bank.
Fred, I did take a good look at your group,
and I think they are sitting right on the edge of their seat,
and they're pulling for you all the way.
So, let's look at the Board and take a look.
These are the categories as we begin this next game:
Comedy Movies, Royalty, Where Are You, Biographies,
The '50s, Sex Symbols, Maps of States,
Aquatic Biology and The Odd One.
There they are. $4,700 in the pot.
Let's begin.
Let's try the '50s
in the center.
The 1950s in the center box. And here's the question:
On January 1, 1959, the Latin American dictator
named Batista fled this island country.
He was overthrown by a revolutionary leader
who has now led that nation for over 20 years.
First, I want you to name the country,
and then name the revolutionary leader, Thom.
Think about that.
[clock ticking]
Talking about the country that Batista led for over 20 years.
First, name the country.
Cuba.
Right.
Name the revolutionary leader.
Castro.
Right. Fidel Castro.
[audience applauding]
X in the center box for the 1950s.
$300 in the pot takes it to an even $5,000.
Fred, wouldn't be a bad day's work, would it?
Not at all.
Let's move the categories
and move over to you
and see what you're gonna select.
There they are.
Alright. I'll try Where Are You
up in the upper left-hand corner.
Where Are You, the subject.
And the question is this:
It's 100 A.D.
and you're in a large arena.
Titus once had it flooded
in order to stage a lavish water battle.
But today, you're one of 50,000 spectators
watching a brave Nubian slave
in a fierce contest with a tiger.
Name this ancient arena.
That's the Colosseum
in Rome.
Right.
The Roman Colosseum.
[audience applauding]
Put an O there. Let's shuffle them again.
In the pot, $5,200.
Lieutenant?
I'll try Where Are You in the left center.
Again, in the category of Where Are You:
Thom, it's February 1972,
and you're part of the president's entourage.
You're in a foreign country that's been close
to Americans for many years.
This historic and unprecedented visit
will last eight days.
Where are you?
Uh, the Soviet Union?
No. You would be with President Nixon
in the People's Republic of China.
Red China, Peking.
Still $5,200 in the pot.
Let's shuffle the categories
and move to Fred once again for his second pick.
I'll try Royalty in the upper
right-hand corner.
Alright, Royalty.
Fred, in one of the most publicized weddings of 1978,
this Princess of Monaco married a French playboy
named Philippe Junot.
Give me her first name.
Uh, Princess Grace.
No. Caroline.
Oh, Caroline.
(Audience)
Aw.
Caroline.
Princess Caroline.
Sorry.
So, you're even once again.
That happens to Thom so often.
He'll miss a question and the person opposite him
will miss the next one.
It just kind of happens that way so many times, or has.
An X in the center, O top left.
That's the way we still are, at $5,200.
Let's shuffle and move back to the lieutenant.
Thom?
I'll try Bios
in the left center again.
Biographies, left center of the Board.
In a popular 1980 autobiography,
the wife of a prominent Republican politician
offers insights into her former acting career.
This bio is appropriately titled "Nancy."
Name the its author.
Nancy Reagan.
Yes. That's right. Nancy Reagan.
[audience applauding]
Put an X in Bios and let's shuffle.
In the pot, $5,400.
Fred?
Comedy Movies, please,
for the block.
Going for a block with Comedy Movies.
This 1978 comedy was a box-office smash
for Warren Beatty, who starred as an ill-fated football player
who gets another chance at life.
To block Thom, name the film.
Uh, "The Champ"?
No, it's
"Heaven Can Wait."
"Heaven Can Wait."
Did you see that, Fred?
"Heaven Can Wait,"
good picture.
Yes.
Well, it's still $5,400 in the pot.
Let's shuffle the categories around
and move back to Thom.
Wink, I gotta go with Maps of States for the win.
Thom, the category is Maps of States.
You have selected that.
And if you answer this question correctly on that subject,
you will then win $5,600 in cash.
When we add that to your prior winnings,
your grand total would then come
to $284,050.
Here's the question.
First, take a look at this map of the United States.
This state's capital city
and the largest city in this state
are often called the Twin Cities.
For Tic Tac Dough and a total of $284,050,
name this state.
Minnesota.
Right.
[audience applauding]
Minneapolis-Saint Paul, the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
[audience applauding]
Well, Thom, you did it again.
Another nice, tidy sum of $5,600,
bringing your total to $284,050.
And, of course, with every correct answer,
with every win over your opponent,
you just make it harder and harder
for somebody to, uh, to come up someday
and beat your grand total.
Who knows where it's gonna stop?
Because you continue as our champion, as you know,
as long as you keep winning.
Congratulations
to you.
Thank you, Wink.
And to you, Fred. Boy, that...
Do you go to the movies very often?
No, I don't.
And you said you had not seen the movie "Heaven Can Wait."
No, I haven't.
Anybody in the family ever seen that?
I wonder, if we had asked them...
How many in the group who are here with Fred
would hold up your hand if I asked you that question
and you would've had the correct answer?
Where were you when Fred needed you out there?
[audience laughing]
Grandma even had that one, Fred.
Of course, they can't call out the answers
unfortunately for you in this instance.
Fred, I wanna tell you what a pleasure it is
to have you with us on the show.
I want to congratulate you for a couple of games
well-played against Thom.
You do have a couple of...
Well, let's see, $250 for each tie game,
giving you a total of $500.
So, you do not go away with empty hands.
Thank you very much.
Thank you and good luck
to you in the future.
Fred Goodman.

We'll be back in just a moment.
