X
that's really the first time
you had to really struggled to stay alive in the game.
Oh, I've had some rough moments,
but that was one of the tough ones.
And, John, I've never heard
of anybody being saved by a tiger before, but...
Oh, I love them now.
Alright, let's take a look at the Board.
We have $1,900 in the pot, and these are the subjects
we're gonna be dealing with in this game:
Finish the List, Maps of States,
Fairy Tales, Men of the Sea,
Foreign Actors, World War II,
Situation Comedies, Strange Names, and Physics.
Mark?
Wink, I'm gonna start on the lower right with Physics.
Physics, his subject.
Mark, this radioactive element, which is used as fuel
in nuclear reactors, has the letters PU as its symbol.
Plutonium.
[audience applauding]
Plutonium means an X and another $200 to the pot.
Let's move the categories.
And, John, returning to you, sir.
Where do you move in this first game
with your first go?
I'm not ashamed to do this, Wink.
I'm gonna take Men of the Sea in the center box.
You're really gonna do that, John?
Men of the Sea.
It's worth $300 to the pot in an all-important center box.
A classic novel by Jonathan Swift
concerns the travels of a shipwrecked sailor
through fantasy lands of giants and tiny folk.
First, name the sailor, John, and then name the land
of the tiny people.
Think about that.
[clock ticking]
It's about a shipwrecked sailor,
the fantasy lands of giants and tiny folk.
Name the sailor, John.
Right.
Name the land of the tiny people.
[audience applauding]
Put an O in the center box.
Another $300 lands in that pot.
Let's shuffle.
Playing now for $2,400, Mark?
Oh, boy.
I'm going to go in the upper right with World War II.
The subject is World War II, and this is your question:
Both Britain and France declared war on Germany
on September 3rd, 1939,
two days after German troops
invaded this Eastern European nation.
Yes.
[audience applauding]
Let's shuffle again.
Another $200 into the pot.
$2,600 resting on the game.
John, see if you can add some more money to that.
Oh, oh.
Well, Foreign Actors are a bad category for me.
Need that for a block.
Alright, John, answer this, you'll block Mark.
Besides playing King Arthur in the movie "Camelot,"
this Irish-born actor won acclaim as a recording artist
with a hit song, "MacArthur Park."
For a block, name him.
Richard Harris.
Fine actor.
Let's shuffle. $2,600 in the pot.
Back to you, Mark, for a selection.
What's it gonna be?
I'm going to go with Physics
in the upper left, rather than the win.
Alright, Mark, on Physics:
When astronauts lift off from the launching pad,
they are subjected to a strong force
which is called the G-force.
What does the letter G stand for?
It stands for gravitational.
Is that acceptable?
Yeah, gravitational or gravity.
[audience applauding]
Gravitational pull. Put an X there.
Let's shuffle again.
$200 more dollars in the pot.
Takes it to $2,800. John?
I'll take Maps of States in the center.
Top center, Maps of States, going for a block.
John, take a look at this map of the United States, please.
This state is officially called the Commonwealth,
and it is the historic site of the Appomattox Court House.
For a block, name the state.
[audience applauding]
It's good for one block. Put an O there.
Four boxes left on the Board.
Let's shuffle the categories again.
Playing for $3,000.
Okay.
I think I'm gonna go for broke.
Let's try Finish the List for the win.
If you answer this question in the category,
Finish the List, you'll have a vertical Tic Tac Dough,
$3,200 to show for your efforts in this game.
That would bring your total to $89,350.
Mark, here's the question:
In America, before you can achieve
the Boy Scout's highest progress award,
you must first become a Star scout,
and then a Life scout.
For a total of $89,350, what rank follows next?
Um, Eagle scout?
Yes! For Tic Tac Dough.
[audience applauding]
So, Mark, congratulations to you.
Wow!
Another $3,200 to add to your winnings
takes your total now to $89,350.
A few bucks short of that $90,000 mark.
By the way, I wanna mention something that's important,
I think, to mention from time to time.
Those scheduling categories on Tic Tac Dough
don't know, at the time, the order in which
contestants will appear.
So, any categories appearing in a game
is purely coincidental.
I point that out, John, because you had a couple there
regarding what could be construed to be involved
with your profession.
Yeah.
Hey, Mark, again, congratulations to you.
And, John, you were marvelous on this show.
And I hope that perhaps we'll run into each other
somewhere down the line.
Thank you.
We have a couple of nice prizes for you.
And by the way, you played a tie game.
Fine.
Thanks for all that.
[audience applauding]
Mark, come on over here.
[audience applauding]
You're doing it again.
Somehow, I pulled it off.
Boy, you pulled a couple out of the bag there.
Right at the very beginning of the game against John,
Annie Oakley.
Yeah. Annie Oakley.
where that came from.
It just passed the brain, it came up through
the spinal cord, and out the mouth.
Now, behind these numbers are various amounts of money and a Dragon.
All you have to do is hit $1,000 or more,
and you'll win a prize package.
Now, for this particular package,
we only have two gifts.
Two gifts, mind you.
But they're two really fun gifts.
And we know you'll enjoy them. Bob, what are they?
(Bob) Well, for your first gift, Mark,
you and a mate can participate
in a fad that's sweeping the country
when you use your 350-dollar roller skates.
Cheapskates of California.
Quality leather boots, double-action truck assembly,
toe stops, indoor and outdoor wheels.
Designed for fashion, quality and safety.
Furnished by Cheapskates of California.
And after roller-skating, you'll wanna come home
and enjoy your second gift,
as you relax in your very own luxurious hot tub.
From Riviera, the portable Tiger hot tub.
Attractive redwood siding and molded fiberglass top.
Indoors or out, no installation.
Plug in, ready to work.
The portable Tiger tub furnished by Riviera Spa.
Mark, this special gifts package is worth,
in cash and prizes, over $3,500.
Remember, avoid the Dragon, or you lose everything.
The Tic and the Tac will automatically give you Dough.
Now, let's cover them up, move them all around the Board.
And quickly, let's see if we can combine
our talents here to come up with a win.
Number 3.
Top right corner of the Board. What's behind Number 3?
[audience applauding]
[audience cheering]
Gonna go with 9.
Alright, bottom right-hand corner of the Board.
What do you have in the offing? Tac.
[audience applauding]
Back to the big group in the front row.
Okay, let's try Number 2.
Number 2, little deuce, top center,
to go with $300 or Tic.
There it is! Tic and Tac.
[audience applauding]
Oh, boy, I tell you.
Let's look at the rest of the Board.
One, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Dragon behind 6.
Oh, thank you, Wink.
The two very nice prizes, including the hot tub...
That should be nice to have in the future.
You have a grand total now, in cash and merchandise, Mark,
of $92,850.
Again, congratulations.
We'll be back right after these words.
