In a record-breaking winning streak, he has won,
in cash and prizes, $284,050.
More than any other player in game show history.
But how much longer can he continue?
We'll find out in a moment as...
From Hollywood, it's everybody's game
of strategy, knowledge and fun.
It's Tic Tac Dough.
[audience applauding]
And now, here's our host,
Wink Martindale.
[audience applauding]
Thank you very much, Jay Stewart.
Hello, everybody. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
[audience applauding]
Jay asked that question, "How long can it continue?"
That's what we're all asking.
Here is a guy who has won over $284,000
and can't afford a new suit.
Let's meet him right now. Here he comes.
(Jay) Our current champion, whose winnings total,
in cash and prizes, $284,050,
is a pilot in the Navy.
Meet Lieutenant Thom McKee.
[audience applauding]
I forgot where we were in the game.
I was standing waiting for the next player to come out.
New season, Wink.
Oh, boy!
I tell you, nervousness.
You had previously mentioned, Thom, on a show,
that part of your winnings would be going
to some missionary work that I believe
your brother
is involved with.
That's right, Wink.
He's working with Wycliffe Bible Translators.
They're in Huntington Beach, California.
And what they do, they go throughout the world
to primitive people with the Bible.
Thom, if you could elaborate just a little bit more on that.
Well, what they do is they're primarily educating linguistics.
And they'll go to tribes that don't have a written language
and listen... You know, live with them
and assimilate their spoken language,
develop a written language for them and teach it to them.
And then translate the Bible into that language,
so that they can have the Word of God.
Sounds like a wonderful way to use some of your winnings.
How about that, audience,
would you agree?
[audience applauding]
Speaking of winning, by the way,
we have some unfinished business.
You're ready to play the Bonus Game?
Sure.
Come on over, Thom.
Let's get under way.
[audience applauding]
Welcome back to this familiar post.
[audience applauding]
Thom, behind these numbers, as you well know,
are various amounts of money, a Tic and a Tac
and the ever-present Dragon.
Reach $1,000 or more, get the Tic and the Tac,
and you'll win the prize package.
Now, Thom, there are 24 hours in a day, right?
True.
Right.
Last time I counted.
Is that a question?
Good, you came up
with the right answer.
No, that doesn't count.
The prizes in this next package
will help you keep track of those days.
Jay, tell us what we are talking about.
(Jay) First, Thom, remember the time gone by
with the timeless beauty of this grandfather clock,
an elegant solid-state black walnut grandfather clock
to enhance the beauty and charm of your home.
Furnished by the Emperor Clock Company.
Then whatever room of the house you're in,
you'll always have the time
with this assortment of beautiful clocks.
The distinctive collection of Bulova clocks.
The classic picture frame wall clock,
Westminster chime mantel clock,
quartz table clock and miniature travel alarm.
It's Bulova clock time.
And next, wind yourself up for a night on the town
with these elegant wristwatches.
Hamilton citation ladies' and men's watches.
Elegantly styled with quartz accuracy.
Black Roman numerals accent the white enamel-like dial.
From Hamilton.
And then, for everyday wear, Thom,
we have a simple Swiss wristwatch.
But you'll have to pick it up yourself,
so we're sending you to Switzerland.
[audience applauding]
Yes, you're going to the winter wonderland of Switzerland.
Known for its fascinating and outstanding scenic beauty.
Enjoy its quaint villages, scenic lakes
and snow-covered Alps that surround them.
You'll have 11 exciting days compliments of Club Universe.
And, Thom, this timely package is worth, in cash and prizes,
over $3,950.
[audience applauding]
You better set aside a lot of time in the next year.
You're gonna be traveling around the world
a couple of times at this rate.
Quite a bit.
Remember, avoid the Dragon,
or you lose everything.
Get the Tic and the Tac, you automatically get the Dough.
So, let's shuffle them all around,
cover them up and get started.
And I see lovely Jenny in the audience.
She is always here with you.
And are we gonna
begin with her?
Of course.
Alright, Jenny, what's it gonna be?
What number would you like to start with?
Number 7.
Always Number 7.
What's behind Number 7 as they begin trying
to beat the Dragon in this game?
$500.
[audience applauding]
That's as good a number as you can start with.
Jackie wants Number 5.
That's Jenny's sister, my sister-in-law, Jackie.
Okay, let me... In case you missed that, audience,
on Jenny's left is Thom's sister-in-law,
Jackie, or, uh...
Jackie.
Jenny's sister.
Jenny's sis...
Thank you, Thom.
That's okay.
I'd make a great contestant, wouldn't I?
And Number 5. Alright.
Here is the number behind Number 5.
Is it a number or is it the Dragon?
Tac.
[audience applauding]
Neither one. Tac or Tic and another $500.
That's what you need.
We'll go to my buddy,
Bill D'Amico.
He wants Number 3.
Bill says Number 3,
top right.
Let's look behind Number 3.
You need $500 or Tic. Do we find it behind 3?
$400.
$100 away.
[audience applauding]
I'll go to Jenny, Number 4.
Number 4, she says.
Jenny says next door to Number Tac,
we have maybe a Tic.
Number 4. Need $100 or Tic.
Do we have it? Yes!
[audience applauding]
She likes it.
Likes mountains in Switzerland.
Are you a skier? I don't think I've ever asked you that.
Snow skier?
Uh, I don't know.
Some people wouldn't call what I do skiing.
Yeah. I'm the same type of skier.
Let's look behind the rest of the numbers:
1, 2, 6, 8 and 9.
The Dragon would have been located behind...
Had you called out Number 9, there it was.
You didn't find it. That's good.
Because your total now, in cash and merchandise,
including that marvelous trip to Switzerland,
is $288,150
as it continues to mount.
We'll be back with our next game
in just a moment.
