It's Tic Tac Dough!
[audience applauding]
And now, with our host,
Wink Martindale.
[audience cheering]
Thank you, Art James.
Hello, everybody.
Thank you.
Welcome to Tic Tac Dough.
[audience applauding]
Well, another big, exciting day for us
and, I know, for Thom McKee.
And let's meet him right now.
Still our champion after all these days.
Art?
(Art) Our current champion, whose winnings total,
in cash and prizes, $278,450,
is a pilot in the Navy.
Meet Lieutenant Thom McKee.
[audience applauding]
And his opponent presently working as a salesman,
but he previously spent 19 years working as a truck driver.
Meet Fred Goodman.
[audience applauding]
Fred, you were a truck driver for 18 years.
Nineteen years.
you drove them all, didn't you?
before the CB radios
when that became such a craze?
Yeah.
Now, I'm a salesman.
I sell home decor,
in the clothing business.
A rather dapper gentleman.
And you do, do you have...
I have never seen such a fan club.
Why not?
You got them spread all over the audience.
Your mom's here. We'll talk about that later.
Hi, Wink.
Thom McKee also carries...
He has fan club will travel, too.
And they've been traveling to Tic Tac Dough
for a lot of days lately.
Thom, welcome back.
With $278,450 in cash and prizes,
you still look rather enthused.
And you still look like you have, uh,
a lot of different uses in mind for a lot of that money.
Definitely.
How about a house?
Is that still on the top of the agenda?
Well, we already have the house.
But Jenny was thinking about putting a little more down,
so we don't have as big a payment each month.
And there's the thing of house payments
Yes, that helps.
Well, Thom, good luck. Good luck to you.
the best man win.
Here we go.
[audience applauding]
We ran out of time on the last show.
And these were the categories on that show.
I think everybody will remember these, if you were with us.
Certainly, Thom and Fred will remember:
Scary Things, USSR, Young Stars, Strange Names,
Famous Sites, Mixed Drinks, The Stage, Secret Category.
Every answer to that doubles the pot.
And Redheads rounds out
the nine categories on the Board.
This is what the Board looked like, by the way,
when we suspended action on the last show.
One X in the center for Thom,
Fred in the bottom left-hand corner
of the Board with one O.
And the pot was worth $500 when we stopped.
Let's move the categories around.
Thom, we move back to you
for your first selection today as we continue this game.
What's it gonna be?
Wink, I'll try Redheads in the left center.
Redheads, it is.
And here's the question on Redheads:
In addition to having played such television characters
as Opie and Richie Cunningham,
this redheaded actor has also appeared in several films.
I look like him.
Ron Howard.
[audience applauding]
You do.
So, we add another $200 to the pot
and we put an X in the box Redheads.
Let's shuffle the categories around
and move over to Fred as we shuffle.
Oh, we've already shuffled.
Well, they're ahead of me this time.
By the way, Fred, before you make a selection,
the fan club, we got them all lit up out there.
[audience laughing]
Alright. All of you in Fred's fan club,
hold up your hand.
Or why don't you stand up?
Would you look at that group?
[audience applauding]
Terrific.
Thank you. Welcome, welcome.
Fred, with all of those people out there,
are they friends or members of the family
Both.
at home with all of them.
Make a selection.
Alright.
You're trying to block Thom with the category, The Stage.
Here's your question for a block:
The famous 20th-century playwrights
John Osborne, Harold Pinter and Christopher Fry
were all born in the same country.
For a block of Thom, name their native country.
Uh, England.
[audience applauding]
Pun an O there for a block.
Let's move the categories again.
Add $200 to the pot, making it $900.
And, Thom, it's your turn.
[coughs] Excuse me.
on the bottom right, Wink.
USSR, it is.
Thom, in the early 1960s,
a Russian named Yuri Gagarin
captured the world's admiration when he became
the first man ever to accomplish this feat.
He went into space.
Is that acceptable?
Yes, it is.
[audience applauding]
He went into space.
Just wanted to be sure.
So, we put an X in the box USSR,
add another $200 to the pot.
Four boxes left.
Fred, we're gonna shuffle now for you to select.
Alrighty.
I'll try USSR again for the block, please.
Alright. For a diagonal block,
USSR, the subject.
Fred, here's your question:
After Stalin died in 1953,
this man succeeded him as head of the Communist Party.
For a block, was he Kosygin, Brezhnev or Khrushchev?
for a block.
[audience applauding]
Put an O in USSR.
And another $200 in the pot.
Now, worth $1,300.
We'll be back to our game in just a moment.
