[audience applauding]
And Polyglycoat Sound Shield
for the noisy underside of your car.
Not an undercoating, Polyglycoat is a sound shield.
Available at new-car dealers only.
Now, back to Wink Martindale.
Thank you, Jay. And a very exciting game
here on Tic Tac Dough.
The pot is now up to $7,800.
Let's shuffle the categories around and move back to Ron.
Um, I'll go to the center for Comic Strips.
Comic Strips in the center.
Ron, this is worth $300 to the pot.
This cartoonist created a local Dogpatch holiday
that allowed Daisy Mae to finally snag Li'l Abner.
Ron, first, name the cartoonist,
and then, name the holiday.
Here's some extra time to think about that.
[clock ticking]
Ron, this cartoonist created a local Dogpatch holiday
that allowed Daisy Mae to finally grab a hold of Li'l Abner.
Name the cartoonist.
Yes.
Name the holiday.
Sadie Hawkins Day.
[audience applauding]
Put another X on the Board.
Another $300 in the pot.
That makes the pot now worth $8,100.
Let us shuffle the categories.
And, Lucinda Dressel, it's your turn to pick.
I'll take Animals to block.
Top center, Animals.
Answer this correctly, Lucinda, you'll block Ron Duvall.
This small American mammal
is armored with a shell of hard, bony plates.
Some species actually roll into a ball for protection.
To block Ron, name this animal.
Could you repeat the question, please?
Yeah. This small American mammal
is armored with a shell of hard, bony plates.
Some species actually roll into a ball for protection.
An armadillo?
[audience applauding]
Put an O there.
Another $200 in the pot.
Four boxes left on the Board.
Let's shuffle.
Here are the subjects from which you can pick, Ron.
I've gotta go with Who am I?
in the corner to win.
Top left-hand corner of the Board for a diagonal win.
Answer this question correctly,
you'll win $8,500 in cash.
Ron, your total winnings then would be $9,800.
That's all, by the way, in cash.
Here's your question:
"My close friends call me Dusty.
In my movies, I played
a "Little Big Man and a "Marathon Man."
In addition to being the "Midnight Cowboy's" best friend,
I was one-half of "Kramer vs. Kramer."
For a total of $9,800,
all of that in cash, who am I?"
Dustin Hoffman.
Yes, for Tic Tac Dough!
[audience applauding]
So, congratulations to you, Ron.
Thank you.
Not a bad day's work,
and you're not through yet, perhaps.
[audience laughing]
That's bad on heart seizures.
Ron, I've gotta point out something.
You won, and of course,
you went for the diagonal Tic Tac Dough,
but I just want to mention to the audience and to you,
players, that had you gone for that secret category
and answered the question correctly,
the pot would've risen to over $16,000.
Of course, that would've been an all-time high
for a pot on any Tic Tac Dough game.
But Ron, you have a total of $9,800
with the right to do what next?
Uh, go against the Dragon.
That's right, and we'll do that in a moment.
Lucinda Dressel, thank you for some excellent games,
a couple of real exciting games.
You won $250 for your efforts,
True, yes.
Thank you.
Let's say good-bye to Lucinda Dressel, everybody.
[audience applauding]
Thank you, Lucinda.
Okay, Ron, let's see if we can do it, sir.
[audience applauding]
Alright.
That is worth getting a little bit excited
and a whole lot of nerves for you.
Indeed.
Now, behind the numbers on the big Board here
are various amounts of money and,
[Dragon roars]
All you...Oh, hush!
All you have to do is reach $1,000 or more,
and you win a prize package.
Now, the prize package, good subject.
For this bonus round,
you're gonna get in a carnival mood.
And Jay Stewart is gonna tell you why. Listen carefully.
(Jay) Well, first, Ron, to get you in the carnival mood,
we're gonna send you to the circus.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
in over 70 cities.
Don't miss it when it comes to your town.
And you're gonna read up about carnivals
in the books that you'll find in this 500-dollar home library.
Jove's paperback novels featuring Carny,
a tough but gentle story of an innocent girl
who shares love with two streetwise carnies
at the great American carnival.
Soon to be a mesmerizing new film.
Then, to maintain a permanent record of the carnival,
it's the sound/movie camera and projector.
The Bell & Howell Soundstar Super8 Sound/Movie Camera.
and Soundstar Sound Projector.
The perfect easy-to-use combination to record
and relive your family's happy times.
From Bell & Howell.
And, Ron, now that you're in the carnival mood,
you're gonna be able to visit the city famous for carnivals.
You are going to exciting...
Rio de Janeiro!
[audience applauding]
Yes, you'll have one wonderful week
in Rio de Janeiro
compliments of Tic Tac Dough.
And, Ron, this carnival package is worth,
[audience applauding]
Here we go, off to Rio de Janeiro.
Is it fun?
Absolutely.
Avoid the Dragon or you lose everything.
Get the Tic and the Tac, you automatically get the Dough.
Let's cover 'em up now.
Move 'em all around on the Board.
Say good-bye to the Dragon, hopefully, for the last time.
That's true.
We're not speaking to him.
Call out a number.
Okay. I'll go with eight.
Alright. Let's see if your lucky numbers continue.
Number 8, what do you have for Sir Ron?
[audience applauding]
Alright. Who do you have in the audience with you?
Some friends of mine are out there.
Who are they?
My secretary and her husband.
Secretary and husband, alright.
What do they say you take?
Yes, they are.
And they also agree with what my sons, John and Ben, said.
Which is what?
Four, alrighty.
To add to $300, how about a good lucky round number?
How about $400?
[audience applauding]
You got $700, you need $300 more.
Now, you can take the $700 and stop,
add it to your $9,000
knowing the next call could be the Dragon.
I've got to keep going.
Alright, what number is it gonna be?
What's your secretary yelling out there?
She's yelling two.
Is she always right?
Secretary's always right.
He admits it.
What's behind Number 2?
She'll remind you of work tomorrow.
You got it.
That's $250, but you're not quite there yet.
We need $50 more.
Okay.
You started to celebrate, didn't you?
I thought I was there.
Alright. All you have to do, you need $50.
Remember, you can stop.
The next call could be the Dragon.
You wanna go with six.
You need $50 on the Board.
And what's behind Number 6 for Ron?
Good lucky number?
Yeah, you win!
[audience applauding]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
That's correct.
Secretary, hardworking person,
seldom wrong, am I right?
That's absolutely true.
Now, let's go to secretary.
Question for secretary.
Secretary, you need, probably, a month off from work.
[audience laughing]
What about that?
It's negotiable.
[audience laughing]
Let's look at the rest of the Board:
One, three, five, seven and nine.
Where was the Dragon?
Secretary said nothing about Number 7,
neither did her husband.
Absolutely.
You really got a lucky roll going.
You are now up to a grand total of $13,700
[audience applauding]
Fantastic.
And we're going to a commercial break.
And we'll be right back.
