about that month off.
I see.
More on that later, however.
Let's meet our next player.
Who is gonna take him on, Jay?
(Jay) Wink, he is a film editor.
He's also worked as a waiter,
a taxi driver and a barge worker in Alaska.
Meet Steven Rosenberg.
[audience applauding]
Hello, Steve.
Hello, Wink.
Welcome to Tic Tac Dough.
First, I want you to tell me
about what's it like to work on a barge in Alaska.
That sounds interesting, but very cold.
It is very cold up there.
I worked on a barge in Alaska
which took supplies and food down the river
two times a year to remote places
where they don't usually see anyone.
And it was just an incredible experience.
Sounds like pretty rugged country you're talking about.
It is. It is very rugged.
And the temperatures go above 100 degrees in the summer
and below 60 degrees in the winter.
It's quite cold.
Steven, why are people living there in a country like that?
Well, I found that many people living there are Eskimos.
And they've lived there for hundreds of years.
Yeah.
Maybe, we'll hear more about this later.
Okay.
If you're around long enough, Steven, huh?
He's pretty good.
He really is.
Yeah.
You're gonna find out
how good now...
Yup.
...as we play the game.
Here are the subjects.
Steven and Ron, we're gonna build our questions around:
Suitable Titles, Female Singers,
Symbols, Aviation, Comedy Movies,
Arab World, Israel,
Big and Little, and Art.
Ron Duvall, begin.
I'll go to the center with Comedy Movies, Wink.
It's worth $300 to the pot, a little harder.
And as you know, we give you a little extra time for your answer.
In a 1979 movie,
this wild and crazy comedian
starred as the adopted son of a poor black sharecropper.
First, Ron, name the movie.
And secondly, name the comedian.
Give you a few seconds.
[clock ticking]
Ron, name the movie we're talking about.
"The Jerk."
Right.
How about the comedian?
Steve Martin.
Right.
Good for the center box.
[audience applauding]
Funny man, wild and crazy guy.
So, we put an X there.
Let's shuffle 'em all around on the Board,
and move over to Steven Rosenberg.
This will be Steven's first time out of the box.
Steven?
Wink, I'd like Comedy Movies in the bottom left, please.
You got it. Now, let's see if you can get it.
Here's your question:
This 1974 comedy Western which was directed by Mel Brooks
featured Cleavon Little as an unlikely sheriff,
and Harvey Korman as the evil Hedley Lamarr.
Name the film.
I believe that was "Blazing Saddles."
Yes, that's right.
[audience applauding]
Put an O there. Let's shuffle 'em all around on the Board.
$200 into the pot takes it to $500.
And we take it back to Ron.
Um, I'll stick with Comedy Movies
down in the bottom, Wink.
Alright. Again, in that category:
This 1979 comedy movie starred actors George Burns,
Art Carney and Lee Strasberg
as three elderly men who rob a bank.
Name it.
Um, "Going in Style."
Yes, that's right.
You just got it
at the end of the wire.
[audience applauding]
"Going in Style." You're living in style.
Put an X there, and let's shuffle 'em around.
We have $700 in the pot.
Steve?
Wink, I must go to Female Singers to block.
First time in that category for a block.
This female singer who sang lead
for the Jefferson Starship has recorded such hits
as "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love."
To block Ron, name her.
Grace Slick.
Yes, that's right
for a block.
[audience applauding]
Put an O there. Let's shuffle.
Move 'em around again.
We get back to Ron with $900 in the pot.
Um, Wink, I'll go up to Female Singers
in the left-hand corner.
Again, in that category.
Ron, this dark-haired singer named Crystal
has been successful on both Country/Western
and Pop charts
with such hits as "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue."
Name her.
Crystal Gayle. Yes, that's right.
[audience applauding]
Put an X on the Board in the box, Female Singers.
Let's shuffle 'em around again.
Four boxes left.
Steven, select from those subjects.
Wink, I have no choice,
but to block with Female Singers.
Alright. Again, to block Ron,
answer this question on Female Singers.
This singer was a superstar in Canada
before she gained an American following
with such hits as "Snowbird"
and "Talk It Over In The Morning."
To block Ron, name her.
I can only think of Joni Mitchell.
No, it's Anne Murray.
Beautiful lady and a fine singer,
Anne Murray.
Still four boxes left on the Board.
Let's shuffle.
$1,100 in the pot.
Ron, your turn to pick.
I'll stick with Comedy Movies for the win, Wink.
Okay. For both of you, been a good category so far.
Answer this question correctly, you'll win $1,300.
Ron, that will make your grand total
exactly $15,000.
A lot of that in cold, hard cash.
For Tic Tac Dough, here is the question
on Comedy Movies:
This black comedian starred in the television series "I Spy"
and was featured with actor Sidney Poitier
in the film comedies "Uptown Saturday Night"
and "A Piece of the Action."
To take your grand total to exactly $15,000,
Ron, name him.
Bill Cosby.
You got it! That's right.
[audience applauding]
You know, we started out this show, Ron,
by reminding you that some
of Tic Tac Dough's biggest winners
have been graduates of the Air Force Academy.
They attended the Air Force Academy.
You do now.
And if you continue along your current ways,
you just might hold up that tradition very nicely
for the Air Force Academy.
That would be a very nice club to join, Wink.
Really.
Boy, that Brian Donovan and Pieter DeVries,
they were something else on this show.
And, so far, so have you been.
You're exactly $15,000 richer now
with that trip to Rio de Janeiro.
That's gonna be nice, too.
Ron, congratulations to you for winning once again.
Steven Rosenberg, you're not gonna forget
the name Anne Murray
anytime soon.
No.
Every time you hear her on the radio, you'll think,
"Oh, my gosh."
But, Steve, we do have a couple
of nice prizes for you.
Thank you.
Thank you for being with us on Tic Tac Dough
and good luck to you.
Thank you.
[audience applauding]
Anne Murray.
We'll be right back.
