And now, here's our host,
[audience applauding]
Thank you very much, Bob. Hello, everybody.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
[audience cheering]
Thank you, everybody. Welcome to the show.
And here we are, ready to play our little X-and-O game
that's added up to a lot of dollars for this guy.
Let's meet him close-up right now.
Bob, if you will, please.
(Bob) Our current champion whose winnings total,
in cash and prizes, $127,600,
He is an attorney who enjoys scuba diving.
Meet Mark Leinwand.
[audience applauding]
And his opponent has been a furniture mover, a bartender,
a salesman and he's also an amateur stuntman.
Meet John Welsh.
[audience applauding]
John, good to see you back.
Would you turn around just a little bit this way?
You got a glare off your head right in my eye.
[audience laughing]
Now, let me explain something.
Now, let me say it, 'cause people...
I get mail when I do that, you know.
I've never done that before.
But I wanna tell all of you at home that we discussed this
a moment ago, and he said, "I have no qualms at all
about discussing the fact that, that..."
How do you put it?
When you get up in the morning,
do you shave, like, everyday, the head?
I should do it every two or three days,
but I'm a little lazy.
"Are you growing it back?"
has it been...
Yeah?
You like it that way?
I like it for now. It's good for a change.
I didn't have a beard or moustache
to shave off at the time, so I figured, why not?
You get a little joking about it at all?
Only from Wink, huh?
Well... Talk to my attorney.
[audience laughing]
Yeah.
...as far as Tic Tac Dough is concerned.
John, welcome back.
Hello, Wink.
So far, he's won $127,600 in cash and merchandise.
You always look so calm and collected
when you walk out here.
And I said that to him as he walked out and he said,
"I feel more at home out here than I do back there
waiting to come out."
Let's give it a go.
Here we go.
[audience applauding]
Now, Mark and John, on the last show,
you had tied three times, and you were in the middle
of your fourth game when time ran out.
Here are the categories that we were playing with.
I'm sure you'll recall these.
They are: Fairy Tales, Ships, Potluck Pictures,
Famous Doctors, Finish the List, Odd Names, The '50s,
Foreign Stars, and Geology.
Here's what the Board looked like
when we finished on the last show:
Two Xs for you, Mark, two Os for John.
And the pot is worth $16,100.
Let's shuffle the categories with five boxes left,
and see what comes up for you to pick from, Mark,
as our champion.
Well, this has occasionally given me trouble before,
but I think, that for the block,
I'll have to go with Finish the List.
Finish the List for a block.
To block John, Mark, answer this:
Complete this list of the famous Marx Brothers:
Gummo, Zeppo,
Groucho, Chico and who, for a block?
for a block.
[audience applauding]
That's following right along.
Very good. Put an X there.
$16,300 in the pot. Four boxes left.■
Let's shuffle. John?
Select.
I've had a premonition about Foreign Stars.
I had time to think on it, so let's try that.
Alright, John. Here's the question:
In the '60s, actress Melina Mercouri won an Oscar
for the film "Never on Sunday."
In the '70s, she was elected to the parliament
of her native country.
Greece.
[audience applauding]
So, we put an O there and another $200 to the pot.
Players, there are three boxes left.
The categories that show up
can decide who wins and who loses.
Let's shuffle.
Mark?
Okay. For another block, Wink, I'll take Odd Names.
Odd Names for a block.
Mark, this actress was born Doris von Kappelhoff,
but her stage name sounds like part of a week.
Doris Day.
[audience applauding]
Good for a block. Put an X there.
Another $200 in the pot.
Players, we're down to two boxes.
The categories that show up will decide
if we have a win or a tie.
Let's shuffle.
Potluck Pictures and Foreign Stars. John?
Oh, let's do it. Lower right for Foreign Stars
on Foreign Stars.
John, if you answer this question correctly
in that category, we'll have a fourth tie
between you and Mark. Here is your question:
This dark-haired English actress starred
as the widowed wife of a US president
in "The Greek Tycoon" and played a beautiful
treasure-seeker in "The Deep."
Jacqueline Bisset.
Correct. We have another tie game.
[audience applauding]
And another $200 into the pot, makes it now worth $16,900.
And we'll play another game between Mark and John
right after this break.
[audience applauding]
Mark, if you defeat three more opponents
on Tic Tac Dough, you will have won four of these.
And Bob Hilton's gonna tell you what I'm talking about.
(Bob) It's a brand-new car!
[audience applauding]
Buick Century two-door coupe, the midsize personal luxury car
with a spacious, comfortable interior and classic exterior.
The Century two-door coupe by Buick.
In addition, Great Reflections gives your car the 20/20 shine,
a shine so deep-down clear, it's a perfect vision.
Great Reflections from Du Pont.
Now, back to Wink.
Time for the fourth tie game now between Mark and John.
Mark, I just wanna point out to you something Bob said
at the top of the show, and that is
if, indeed, you do win, between you and John,
you will become the second biggest money winner
of all time on Tic Tac Dough.
$16,900 in the pot. Here are the categories.
The subjects are: Red Heads, Foreign Words,
Animal Songs, Good Guys, Bad Guys, Quotes,
Famous Actors, Name's the Same, and Anatomy.
There they are, gentlemen. Mark, you begin.
Okay, Wink.
I think I wanna try something different this time.
I think I'll start in the center with Bad Guys.
Bad Guys in the center. Always a little harder.
However, it's worth $300 to the pot,
and we do give you some extra seconds
to come up with your answer.
Bad Guys.
In this classic British novel, a villainous character
named Fagin led a gang of young thieves,
which included the Artful Dodger and the book's title character.
Mark, first, I want you to name the book,
and then name its author.
Think about that.
[clock ticking]
Subject: Bad Guys.
Classic British novel we're talking about.
In it, a villainous character named Fagin leads
a gang of young thieves, which included the Artful Dodger
and the book's title character.
"Oliver Twist"?
Charles Dickens.
[audience applauding]
Put an X there, $300 in the pot.
And let's shuffle the categories around.
We're now playing for a pot of $17,200.
John?
Well, Mark had such good luck with Bad Guys,
Alright, John.
In a famous ballad, Rudyard Kipling praised
the heroic actions of an Indian water-carrier
who served in a British regimen.
Complete this famous line with his name:
"You're a better man than I am..."
[audience applauding]
Gunga Din. Another $200 in the pot.
Let's shuffle.
Mr. Leinwand, it's back to you, sir.
Okay. I think I'll try, um...
Anatomy in the center on the right.
Anatomy it is. And here's the question, Mark:
This appenda■■■■f the human body contains such major bones
as the femur, tibia and fibula.
Uh, the leg?
[audience applauding]
Put an X there under Anatomy.
Let's shuffle the categories.
In the pot now, we have $17,600.
Well, I have to block.
for a block.
In this million-selling record by singer Elvis Presley,
an animalist told, "You never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine"
That's a "Hound Dog."
[audience applauding]
Put an O there.
Let's shuffle again as we add $200 to the pot.
Mark?
Okay, Wink. I think I'll try the upper center with Good Guys.
Back to Good Guys. Alright.
This English king spent only six months
of his 10-year reign in his native country
because of his heroic crusade in the Holy Lands.
During much of his absence,
England was ruled by his evil brother, John.
Um, Charles?
No. King Richard I.
King Richard I. King Richard, the Lion-Hearted.
So, let's shuffle the categories around.
In the pot, still $17,800.
And, John, it's your turn again.
Well, I hope it's good to me again.
I'm gonna try Good Guys in the upper left.
Alright. Good Guys, the subject.
John, according to English ballads,
Robin Hood's heroic band of merry men
included a jovial Franciscan friar
who enjoyed both a good fight and a good feast.
That was Friar Tuck.
[audience applauding]
Another O on the Board, another $200 in the pot.
And four boxes left on the Board.
Let's shuffle.
We're playing for $18,000 in cash.
Mark?
Well, well, well.
Um, I better try...
Animal Songs in the upper top.
Upper center.
For a block:
One popular children's song recites the entire inventory
of animals which are owned by a certain old farmer.
MacDonald.
Right. Old MacDonald's farm.
[audience applauding]
Put an X there, another $200 in the pot.
$18,200 we're playing for.
Players, we have three boxes left.
The categories in those boxes will decide the outcome
of this game between the two of you.
Let's shuffle.
Name's the Same, Good Guys, Foreign Words.
John?
Well, I...
I don't know if I wanna prolong the agony or...
I wanna go for the win.
Lower left for Name's the Same.
Name's the Same, the category.
If you answer this question correctly,
you will win $18,400 in cash, John.
And you will succeed in doing
what 17 other players could not.
Here's the question:
This last name is shared by a famous trumpet player
named Harry, an outlaw named Jesse
and a noted author named Henry.
For Tic Tac Dough and $18,200,
what is this shared name?
We have a new champion.
[audience applauding]
I guess you saw that.
Mark is a good sport, took his hand,
put it up in the air, held his arm up high.
John, congratulations. How do you feel?
Thank... Oh, it's just beginning to get shivery
[audience laughing]
Yeah.
Listen. I think I'd feel the same way,
had I just won that much money, John, $18,400.
This is a dumb question:
You ever won that much money in one fell swoop before?
No, I haven't. I just...
I don't have a good answer for you except no.
Have you ever earned that much in one day?
I haven't.
[audience laughing]
Thank you.
You become our new champion with your first opportunity
to try to beat the Dragon shortly.
And to you, Mark Leinwand... Mark, I got to tell you,
in case you are not aware of this,
we keep these statistics, so I got to lay on you
the fact that you answered correctly, out of 166 questions,
you answered 155 correctly.
[audience cheering]
155 out of 166.
[audience applauding]
You remember the one that did you in a few minutes ago?
You won't forget that one, will you?
King Richard, yeah.
In fact, when I'm 90, I'll probably remember that one.
What are you gonna do with some of your money, Mark?
You've won an awful lot of cash in that $127,600.
Well, this represents a real opportunity for me,
it's not gonna be frittered away.
And if I use it properly, it could be really important.
Mark, I wanna congratulate you for being one of our all-time
top winners on Tic Tac Dough.
You have really showed us once again
how this game is supposed to be played.
The name of the game is Tic Tac Dough,
and you played it so very, very well.
Godspeed to you.
Good luck in your law career and whatever you choose
to do with all that money.
And enjoy driving those three cars.
[audience applauding]
Mark Leinwand, super guy.
We'll see if John can beat the Dragon
right after we take this break.
[audience applauding]
And maybe that's just the beginning.
I sure do.
Let's get over here and see if you can beat the Dragon.
[audience applauding]
I hope so.
Thank you.
Now, behind the numbers on the Board, of course,
are various amounts of money and the ever-present Dragon.
All you ha or more,
and you win the prize package, John.

[audience applauding]
That's super.
I love to travel.
Now, to get that, avoid the Dragon or,
you know, you lose everything.
Get the Tic and the Tac, and that means an automatic win.
Let's cover them up, move them all around on the Board.
And, John, it's up to you.
All you have to do is pick numbers from here on out,
hope they're the right ones.
Play the numbers game, huh?
I wanna start with Number 4, please.
Alright. Number 4 is the beginning point for John.
Let's see if he's made a right decision.
[Dragon roars]
bye-bye.
At least for right now.
Maybe I can get back to Van Nuys, though.
[audience laughing]
Yeah.
I think with $18,400, you can catch a quick cab.
Let's show the rest of the Board
to show him that outside of Number 4
there were an awful lot of good numbers up there,
he didn't pick the right one.
Started off with a loser.
[audience applauding]
Let's meet a new opponent for you and get a new game
under way as a champion.
Alright, Bob Hilton, who's gonna take our new champ on?
(Bob) She's a housewife who's married
to a lieutenant commander and pilot in the Navy.
Meet Raynelle Meyers.
[audience applauding]
Hi, Wink.
Thank you.
And friend. Ahem.
[audience laughing]
Now, it really might be a silly question,
but do you already have any children at home?
Yes, Wink. I have a seven-year-old son,
and number two will be here in about six weeks.
thank you.
Now, you are married to a Navy pilot, correct?
he's in the audience.
Yes, he is.
Alright. Let's find him. Let's see if he...
right there in the first row.
Oh, he's got one of the expensive seats.
Who's that young man next to him?
[audience laughing]
That's my son, Aaron.
Yeah, that's the one. What's his name?
Aaron.
Well, welcome to both of you out there.
Gonna pull for mommy, Aaron?
Alright.
Raynelle, what's it like being married to a Navy pilot?
[audience laughing]
As a matter of fact, we've moved 10 times
in the last 12 years and we'll be moving again
in about six weeks.
Wow. Are you tired of all that moving around?
Oh, no, I love it.
As a matter of fact, I had only been out of Texas
one time before I married my husband.
And now, I've lived all over the United States
and have made some wonderful friends,
around here long enough
I hope so, too.
That would be very nice.
Okay, Raynelle and John, take a look at the Board,
and let's check the categories you're dealing with.
The categories are: Famous Movies, Rivers,
Bearded Men, Female Singers,
Initials, Wild West, Royalty, Comic Books,
and, of course, the Secret Category.
That could be #any category at all,
and a correct answer automatically doubles the pot.
John, begin, please.
Well, I used to have a beard,
Bearded Men.
John, during his 1978 tour, this rock star
still had the same harsh voice and weird body movements,
but he also had a beard.
His hits include "With a Little Help From My Friends"
and the best-selling album "Mad Dogs and Englishmen."
Cocker?
[audience applauding]
Put an X there. Let's shuffle.
$200 into the pot.
And for the first time, Raynelle Meyers
gets to pick a category.
Well, I've never been around bearded men very much,
Let me check your husband.
No, that's right. You haven't been around bearded...
Raynelle, here is your question.
This is worth $300 to the pot.
Two bearded explorers have had famous waterways named after them.
I'll describe ■■e explorers and you name them.
First, this Portuguese navigator led the first expedition
to sail around the world and pass through the strait
that bears his name.
Second, this English sea captain explored a large Canadian bay
that was later named after him.
I'm gonna let you think about that for a few seconds.
[clock ticking]
Raynelle, we're talking about Bearded Men.
This Portuguese navigator led the first expedition
to sail around the world and pass through the strait
that bears his name.
Right. Ferdinand Magellan.
This English sea captain explored a large Canadian bay
that was later named after him.
Hudson Bay.
[audience applauding]
Put an O in the center, $300 to the pot as we shuffle.
We're gonna take a commercial break,
and then we'll be right back with more of Tic Tac Dough.
[audience applauding]
you get that right, and then things are
They certainly are.
She also■said something else.
I asked her, "Is your heart beating fast?"
[audience laughing]
Thank you, Wink.
congyou.
Right.
And we'll see all of you next time,
as we, once again, get together to play
the little X-and-O game called Tic Tac Dough.
[audience applauding]
(Bob) Some of our departing contestants will receive:
