of strategy, knowledge and fun.
It's Tic Tac Dough!
[audience applauding]
And now, here's our host,
[audience applauding]
Thank you very much, Bob. Hello, everybody.
Thank you very much.
Ah, yeah.
Friday again.
On the last show, of course,
Mark became our third biggest
all-time winner on Tic Tac Dough,
and he's trying to keep that winning streak going.
Let's meet him right now, close-up. Bob?
(Bob) Our current champion whose winnings total,
in cash and prizes, $127,600,
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]
Furniture mover, bartender, salesman.
What did you use to sell?
I did sell paint, I sold lumber supplies,
and I worked for a home improvement center.
And a bartender? That must be an interesting job,
having to listen to all those problems over the bar.
You think that's interesting?
[audience laughing]
It's the best...
[audience laughing]
Mark, listen, there's nothing I could say
or you could say that could top that line,
so we'll move right on.
Thank you.
Hello, Mark. Doggone Mark came back again, didn't he?
He did show up.
and merchandise.
Now, this is a question that a host would ask
a big winner like you.
It's... You know, sooner or later,
it's gonna come up.
Of all the things you've won, so far...
Forget the cash.
that much cash?
[audience laughing]
Maybe I'm phrasing this the wrong way.
What's the most important thing,
in your own mind, that you've won?
Is it the cash or would it be a prize or what?
Um, some of those trips are gonna be an opportunity
to see places that I've never seen before,
and I think they're gonna be pretty important.
You're a young attorney.
You cannot possibly get off enough times
to make all the trips that you've won.
of at least three or four,
[audience cheering]
There are a few people out here who would be more than happy
to take those trips off your hands.
believe it.
Hey, let's get the game under way.
Here we go.
[audience applauding]
I think I could make myself available.
Let's look at the categories, Mark and John.
[audience laughing]
Here are the subjects:
Mixed Drinks, The Stage, Islands, The Odd One,
Mythology, TV Stars, France, Dropouts,
and General Science.
And on the last show, the game was interrupted.
And here's what the Board looked like
when we had to stop:
All-important center box belongs to the challenger, John.
Bottom right-hand corner of the Board,
an X belonging to Mark.
Let us shuffle with $500 in the pot,
and move back to Mark.
Okay.
I think that I will try The Stage
The Stage is the subject.
Mark, in 1948,
American playwright Maxwell Anderson wrote
an historical drama entitled "Anne of the Thousand Days."
The play told the story of one of the wives of Henry VIII.
Give me her last name.
Anne who?
Yes, that's right.
[audience applauding]
Another X on the Board.
Another $200 to the pot.
Let's move them around, Mr. Computer.
Shuffle the categories and get back to John.
Well, I'll try TV Stars to block.
For a block of Mark, John, take a look
at this picture, first of all.
These two actors are the stars
of a 1979 television medical drama.
For a block, name this series.
Yes, that's right.
[audience applauding]
Put an O there. Let's shuffle.
Another $200 goes into the pot.
$900 in the till now.
Okay, Wink.
I'll try General Science for the block.
General Science for a block.
This four-letter word describes the reddish-brown crust
that forms on the surface of iron after it combines
with water and oxygen.
Rust.
[audience applauding]
So, another block on the Board, first in this game.
Put an X there. Let's shuffle the categories around
with four boxes left.
$1,100 in the pot.
John?
Okay. I'm partial to The Stage at the bottom.
Stage, bottom center?
Second time in the category.
The words "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him Horatio,"
are a scene in a famous Shakespearean tragedy.
Name this play.
You're right.
[audience applauding]
Your hopes came true. Put an O there.
And another $200 in the pot.
Three boxes are left.
The categories that appear in them will determine
what happens right after we take a commercial break.
Indeed, we'll find out. Don't go away.
