00:35Thank you, everybody.
00:36Welcome, everybody, at home to Card Sharks.
00:38You know, we're the show that gives out a ton of money
00:40and some great prizes.
00:42We've got $32,000 in cards to play for,
00:45and do not forget, right back there,
00:46something that will increase your insurance premiums tenfold,
00:49but you've got to have it, a brand-new Corvette,
00:51ladies and gentlemen.
00:52Too exciting for words.
00:54Let's meet our dealers. Here they come right now.
00:55Come on out. This is Adam Williams,
00:57and ladies and gentlemen.
01:00Ah, yes, in their sequins and silver.
01:03I like this look. Isn't this a good look?
01:05They look good. You got to like this.
01:06I really do. The crew loves it.
01:07Anyway, let's get started with our second game right now.
01:10I think it's time for us to meet our Card Sharks.
01:12Come on.
01:15Hi, Amari.
01:16Hi, Bill. How are you again?
01:18Amari's won a motorcycle yesterday.
01:20You know how much money you won?
01:22I have no idea.
01:22Cash and prizes totaling $22,300.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:27Ooh.
01:28Ooh, that's nice. I love it.
01:30That's almost as much as Gene Wood makes in a day.
01:33Almost. It's just not quite there.
01:35After today.
01:36And you're going to have some help
01:38from your competition over here
01:39because Howard is with the tax board, am I right?
01:42I know. He's standing right next to me.
01:43You're a tax collector, Howard, huh?
01:45Well, not really.
01:46I'm really kind of a programmer up at Solano County.
01:49I work for the tax collector,
01:51and that's my kind of a hobby, and I make money.
01:53And you make money.
01:55All right, Howard. Welcome to both of you folks.
01:57I wish you both good luck.
01:59As you know, we've added some prize cards to our deck,
02:01so when they show up,
02:03somebody is going to have the opportunity
02:04of picking up an additional $5,000
02:07or a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark,
02:09which I think is over $6,000.
02:11And we've got the, of course,
02:13don't forget about the car and the money cards.
02:14I mean, we've got a lot of loot to play for here.
02:16Let's get right to it.
02:17First game coming up.
02:18I'm sorry, second game coming up.
02:19Margie's already won one game.
02:21First question in game number two goes to Howard.
02:23We surveyed 100 married men, and we asked them,
02:26when you leave for work in the morning,
02:28is your wife still asleep?
02:30How many married men said when they leave,
02:34their wife is still asleep?
02:35I think that the wife is going to be up and around
02:38trying to take care of business to get herself out,
02:41as well as the man.
02:42So I think that the number of people
02:44who are going to be still in bed
02:46will be a relative, a lower number of about 40, 45.
02:5145.
02:52Marge, what do you think, higher or lower?
02:54I'm up before my husband leaves for work,
02:56so I'm going to say that's just a little bit lower.
02:59A little bit lower?
03:00Yeah.
03:01A little bit lower?
03:02Yeah.
03:03I don't know.
03:03This is, you know,
03:04wives got to work now a lot more than they used to.
03:05Yeah.
03:06I'm going on the low side here.
03:07I think it's going to be very low.
03:08The actual number of married men
03:09who said their wife is still asleep when they leave is 43.
03:13It is lower by two, lower by two.
03:16Oh, my God.
03:17So, Marge, a lot of lazy...
03:20No, I don't want to do that.
03:21Marge, take a look at your base card.
03:22Tell me what you want to do.
03:23Oh, higher.
03:24Come on, let's go higher.
03:25Higher than a three, a king.
03:26Lower, lower.
03:26Lower than a king, it is a nine.
03:29Freeze.
03:30Freezes on the nine.
03:31Freeze.
03:31I saw Howard's eyes start to blaze over.
03:34He said, not again, mercy, please.
03:37Let me get to these cards.
03:38Okay, Marge freezes on the nine.
03:40She knows that if she gets this next question right,
03:42she can change it and go on to win the game, who knows?
03:45But let's go on to our second question.
03:47It is for Marge,
03:48and it involves our 10 beauty contest winners.
03:51Here they come.
03:52Here they are.
03:53There we are, banners are straight.
03:58Everything's looking good.
04:00Marge, before the show, we asked these 10 beauty queens,
04:06have you ever actually put Vaseline on your teeth
04:09to help you keep smiling?
04:17How many of these 10 beauty queens admitted
04:19they have actually put Vaseline on their teeth?
04:22I've never heard of it.
04:24So I'm going to just go by my feelings and say two.
04:31What do you think, Howard?
04:32Higher or lower?
04:33That sounds like a trick of the trade.
04:35Anybody who's going to be in there.
04:36It's an interesting choice of words, Howard,
04:38I'll tell you that.
04:40Not meant to be disparaging,
04:42but I think it's going to be higher.
04:43You're going higher.
04:46The actual number of these beauty queens
04:48who have put Vaseline on their teeth is seven.
04:52It is higher.
04:53I knew you'd get it.
04:57I got to know.
04:59I got to see this.
04:59How many of you have done this?
05:00Put your hand...
05:01Now, when you first heard about it,
05:03Miss California in the yellow band over here,
05:05all the way down at the end,
05:06when you first heard about it,
05:07did you believe that they were telling you the truth?
05:09Yes, I believed it, and it does work.
05:12It helps to keep your mouth not so dry
05:14and keep your teeth shiny.
05:15What does it taste like?
05:17Pretty awful.
05:18Thank you, ladies.
05:19Have a seat.
05:20Thank you very much.
05:21Okay, Howard.
05:24Vaseline on your teeth.
05:25All right.
05:26Howard, take a look at your base card.
05:27Tell me.
05:28You got a 10.
05:30Let's go lower.
05:31He's going lower than a 10.
05:32He's going to keep it and go lower than a 10.
05:35We got a six.
05:36All right.
05:38Let's go higher.
05:39Let's go higher this time.
05:40Howard's a tax man.
05:41He thinks about it.
05:42I have to try.
05:43He's going higher than a six.
05:44Applause.
05:45Don't scroll back.
05:46And Marge, you get a free shot from the nine.
05:48Okay, let's go lower.
05:50Lower than a nine.
05:51A two.
05:53For the game and the match.
05:55Here it is.
06:01He did it again.
06:04Terrific.
06:05Howard, thank you so much, sir.
06:07Have a good time.
06:08We'll see you later.
06:09That's a lovely party gift for you.
06:10Come on, Marge.
06:11Marge, you just picked up an additional $1,000.
06:14When we come back from this commercial,
06:15she's going to go to the Money Cards again.
06:17Don't forget about the car.
06:18We'll be right back.
06:22Here we are.
06:22We are back, and Lacey and Susanna
06:23are dealing out the Money Cards.
06:25This young lady knows how to play them.
06:26I can tell you that right now.
06:28And of course, you realize that we've added
06:29some jokers to the deck.
06:30And if anytime one of those jokers
06:32turns up in the Money Card,
06:33you're going to have a shot.
06:34Get ready, Jean, to tell her about it again.
06:36You're winning this brand new car.
06:39It's the 1987 Chevrolet Corvette,
06:42America's premier sports car.
06:44Includes Z52 sports handling package,
06:47air conditioning, and removable glass roof panels
06:50furnished by Chevrolet.
06:52Marge, this car can be yours
06:54if you play your cards right.
06:55I'd love to take that home.
06:56Thank you, Jean.
06:58Now, you know that for winning the match,
07:00we're going to give you one joker anyway,
07:01so you're definitely going to get a chance at the car.
07:04And this is moot.
07:05Give her $200, and let's see how much money she wins.
07:08You play your cards right, you can turn $200 into $32,000.
07:11Okay.
07:12Tell me what you want to do.
07:13Okay.
07:14A two!
07:14Oh!
07:16To all of it higher, higher!
07:17All of it higher than a two, a three, $400.
07:20$450 high, $350 higher!
07:23$350 high, I thought I would have had to come up
07:25and give you $50, I didn't know that.
07:27Okay, we're going $350 higher than a three.
07:30You've got an ace.
07:31Oh, all right!
07:31$750 on an ace.
07:33All of it lower!
07:34All of it lower than an ace, he's got six.
07:36Oh, all right!
07:38You've got $1,500, we'll give you $400 more.
07:40Change the cards.
07:41$1,900 on the five.
07:42Okay, let's change the card to number three.
07:44Number three.
07:45Number three.
07:46Come on, do something here.
07:47Okay.
07:48We've got a seven.
07:49Oh, that's okay, that's okay.
07:49$1,900 on a seven.
07:50I'm going to go $500 higher.
07:53$500 higher than a seven.
07:54In the middle, go either way here.
07:55You got a nine.
07:56All right!
07:57$2,400 on a nine.
07:58Okay, I'm going to go $1,000 lower.
08:01$1,000 lower than a nine?
08:02Yes, uh-huh.
08:03This is a tough call.
08:04$1,000 lower than a nine, this makes me nervous.
08:06Me too.
08:07It is a 10.
08:08Oh, that's okay.
08:09$1,400 on a 10.
08:10I'm going to go $1,000 lower.
08:12$1,000 lower than a 10?
08:13Yes, uh-huh.
08:13A jack.
08:14Oh my gosh!
08:15Ooh.
08:16That's okay.
08:17This is tough.
08:18That's all right.
08:18Well, you got a good card up here.
08:19You got a jack up here.
08:20Yes.
08:21You've got $400.
08:22Okay.
08:23I'm going to go all of it lower.
08:24All of it lower.
08:25All of it lower.
08:26All of it lower than a jack.
08:26Yeah.
08:27It is.
08:28$800.
08:29Okay, that's all right, that's all right.
08:30She walked away with it.
08:31But this is good.
08:31It's not your usual roll of the cards.
08:34We usually get into multi-thousand dollar figures
08:36with this lady.
08:37But she wins $800, which is good.
08:37That's all right.
08:38And that brings your total to $24,179.
08:42You ready to do it again?
08:43I'm going to get the card this time.
08:44Maybe, yeah.
08:45Maybe let's see it.
08:45Behind one of those cards is the word car.
08:47You find it with the joker,
08:48you drive out of here with a new Corvette,
08:50go find it.
08:51Go find it.
08:55Number four.
08:57All right.
08:58Maybe not doing so well on the money cards
09:01means that you've done well for the car.
09:04Who am I to say?
09:06I just have to turn this.
09:07And if the word car appears,
09:09she won it!
09:10Oh my god!
09:11Oh my god!
09:16Oh my god!
09:18Oh my god!
09:31Good lord.
09:33Oh my god!
09:35I don't know.
09:37Somebody screamed out four.
09:39Did you hear somebody scream out four?
09:41Yes, I did.
09:42Unbelievable.
09:44I haven't got time to add this up.
09:46We'll be back right after this.
09:47I'll give you the number there.
09:49Just for Rick.
09:51Just for Rick.
09:52Rick.
09:54I had this pressure.
09:56Too exciting for words.
09:57The rules state that once you win the car,
10:00we've got to say goodbye.
10:01But I want to tell you, this is the champion of champions
10:04as far as my show is concerned.
10:06$56,392.
10:10We're going to send Grandma home in the vet.
10:12You go over and see Mr.
10:14Goodson at the table over there.
10:15He'll have a check for you and some keys.
10:17Thank you so much. You were just terrific.
10:19Bye-bye, Mike.
10:20Bye-bye. Give her a round of applause.
10:22Just great.
10:24We've got to meet two new contestants.
10:25Come on out.
10:27Great. Hello, Erica.
10:29Hi, Bill.
10:31Well, you see how it is done, don't you?
10:33Yes, I've been watching very closely.
10:34Yes, you do. Now, you know we just sent somebody out
10:36with $56,000 in their pocket.
10:38Tell the folks at home a little something about yourself.
10:40My name is Erica Rose.
10:41I graduated from USC School of Music,
10:43and I'm pursuing a career in opera and musical theater.
10:46Ooh, opera and musical theater.
10:48A lot of training. A lot of training.
10:50Hello, Gil. Hi.
10:51Welcome to you, sir.
10:52Introduce yourself to the folks at home, please.
10:54Thank you. I'm Gil Gillam.
10:56I was born and raised in Pocahontas, Virginia.
10:58I now live in Roland Heights, California.
11:00I am retired from the retail business, and I'm having a ball.
11:04Oh, I hope so. Good luck to you.
11:05Good luck to both my contestants right now.
11:08I just want to tell you, on the prize cards,
11:09we have added a trip to Hong Kong and a refrigerator freezer
11:13to put all the jewels in you buy in Hong Kong if you get there.
11:16So, don't forget, we've got the car.
11:18We've got $32,000 in money cards.
11:20We've got a lot of loot here.
11:21Here's our first question for game number one,
11:23and it goes to Erica.
11:24They flipped a coin backstage to decide
11:25who was going to play from the champion spot.
11:27So, Erica got that.
11:28And here is an educated guest question, Erica.
11:31Okay.
11:32How many years has the birth control pill been in existence?
11:35How many years has the birth control pill been in existence?
11:39Let's see. I've been on, I mean, I think it's been on at least 20 years.
11:4620 years?
11:4720 years.
11:49What do you think, Gil, higher or lower, sir?
11:50Well, I don't think it's really been around that long.
11:53True.
11:54I would say, oh, it's got to be lower.
11:57You're going lower than 20.
11:58That's got to be less than 20.
11:59Disagreement in the crowd.
12:01The, I'm going to go, I'm going to go a little higher than 20,
12:04I have a feeling.
12:05All the girls are going, you better believe it.
12:07The actual number of years the birth control pill
12:09has been in existence is 31.
12:11Yay! Okay.
12:1331 years. So, Erica, you get first shot.
12:16Take a look at your card right now.
12:17Tell me what you want to do, a four.
12:18Higher than that four.
12:20Higher than a four, we have a seven.
12:21Freeze. Freeze is on the seven, no doubt in her mind.
12:24She says freeze on that.
12:25So, we go back over here to question number two.
12:28This one goes to Gil,
12:29and this is our audience poll question.
12:31This involves our 10 beauty queens
12:32who are with us this week.
12:33Give them a round of applause.
12:38I have not taken, I have not taken the opportunity
12:42to thank these young ladies
12:43for participating with us this week.
12:44Give them a nice round of applause.
12:45They've been very nice, putting up with my silliness
12:48and everything that goes on around here.
12:49Gil, questions for you, sir.
12:52Before the show, we asked these 10 beauty queens,
12:54would you rather date a very handsome man
12:57than a very rich man?
12:59How many of these 10 beauty queens said yes,
13:01they would rather date a very handsome man?
13:07Oh, I think as pretty as they are,
13:09they're going to want a nice looking guy
13:11to foul around with,
13:13and I would say that's going to be about seven of them.
13:16You're going seven.
13:17All right, Erica, higher or lower?
13:19Well, I'd rather date a handsome man than a rich man.
13:23And, I don't know, some of those girls.
13:27I think it's going to be a little lower.
13:28You're going a little bit lower?
13:29Yeah, a little lower.
13:30This is the same group of girls who want to be known
13:32for their minds rather than their looks.
13:34We don't know here. I'm going 10.
13:37The actual number of these beauty queens
13:38who would rather date a very handsome man is five.
13:43Right in the middle, so it is lower, it is not higher.
13:45It's very high.
13:46All right, we're going to go, I just want to see,
13:48who are the five that would rather go for the intelligence?
13:52I want to go for intelligence right here.
13:53Intelligence, that was the choice.
13:55If you tell a host what to do on a television show again,
13:58young ladies, handsome or rich, was that it?
14:01Yeah.
14:03Well, if he's got a lot of money, he's got to have some smarts.
14:04Which ones want to go for the rich?
14:06Which one of you want to go? Oh, right there.
14:08So, that's it.
14:09Miss Covina, why the rich?
14:12Well, I think between the two, money alone,
14:14or looks alone would be superficial,
14:15but I think that the money might be an indication
14:17of their striving and their intelligence.
14:19I hope so.
14:20Yeah, money may be ugly, but it's forever.
14:21That's the way it is.
14:23Have a seat, ladies. Thank you very much.
14:25Take a look at the seven over here.
14:26Erica, change it.
14:29Okay, it is a trip to Hong Kong.
14:34That is worth a lot of money.
14:35I'm not sure, probably multi-thousands of dollars.
14:37I'll find out. $4,000, that's worth-
14:39High card.
14:41Let's take a look at this card now. We have a queen.
14:42Okay, lower.
14:44Lower than a queen, we've got a king.
14:47Good luck, bad luck. You got the trip to Hong Kong,
14:49got a bad card, so it plays out.
14:51Gil, you're going to get a free shot at the cards.
14:52You must play for this, sir. It is a three.
14:54Oh, higher.
14:56Higher than a three, he says he's got a jack.
14:58Lower. Lower than a jack, he's got a four.
15:00Higher. Higher than a four, Gil don't waste it.
15:02He's got a VCR.
15:04VCR, color TV goes on his side of the board over there.
15:08I'll let you place this. Higher again, sir?
15:10Higher than a four, Gil says, a two.
15:13So, same scenario for both my contestants.
15:16Get some extra goodies on their side of the board,
15:18but lousy cards.
15:19We'll be right back with Sudden Death right after this.
15:27Welcome back, everybody.
15:28We are now facing Sudden Death, game number one.
15:30Control of the board here, most important,
15:32and our question is going to go to Erica.
15:34Erica, here it is.
15:35We surveyed 100 actors and actresses
15:37who appear in daytime soap operas, and we asked them,
15:41has the character you play ever had an affair?
15:45How many soap opera stars said their character
15:47has had an affair?
15:49Well, I'm addicted to one soap, and on that one,
15:52I think almost everyone's had at least one affair this year.
15:55So, I think the number's going to be 70 have had an affair.
16:00Going 70, Gil?
16:02What do you think, sir, higher or lower?
16:04Well, there's an awful lot of Panky Panky
16:06goes on some of those shows,
16:08but I think it's going to be a little bit lower than that.
16:12A little bit? You're going a little bit lower?
16:13I'm going a little bit lower, yeah.
16:15Is the Pope Polish? What are you, serious?
16:17The actual number of soap opera stars
16:19whose character has had an affair is 58.
16:22It is lower. Gil knew it. See, we were wrong.
16:25Gil, you got a good card here. I think you're going to keep it.
16:28But, all right, I got to explain the situation to you, Gil.
16:30Sudden death. You can play from the three,
16:32but if you make a mistake, you realize
16:34that Erica automatically wins the game.
16:36Or pass it over to Erica. She's playing from a good card.
16:39If she makes a mistake, you win. Play or pass?
16:41I'll let her have it.
16:42You want to let her have it? All right.
16:44Erica, you got to go.
16:45Lower than a queen, we've got a five.
16:47Higher, higher, higher, higher.
16:48Higher than a five every turn. Very important here.
16:50A two. Gil made the right choice. He's over.
16:55Good. Good choice. Good choice.
16:59Well, let's see now, Gil,
17:01you've got one game on your side of the board right now,
17:03and you've also got a VCR and a TV,
17:06so you're one step closer to winning that.
17:08First player to win two games, they win the match.
17:10Let's get on to it right now. Don't forget, we got money cards.
17:12A big new Corvette.
17:14And Lacey's dealing out cards for game number two,
17:16and let's get right to it.
17:17And first question goes to Gil. Gil, educated guests.
17:21Got to think about this one a little bit.
17:23On an average day, how many cigars does George Burns smoke?
17:30Well, every time I see him, he has a cigar in his mouth,
17:33but I'm sure it's four.
17:38You're going four. Four.
17:39What do you think, Erica? Higher or lower?
17:41I think it's going to be higher.
17:42I think he really smokes them,
17:43besides having them hanging out of his mouth.
17:45So you're going higher than four.
17:46Yeah, I think higher.
17:47That's an awful lot of stuff. All right.
17:49The actual number of cigars George Burns smokes in a day is 15.
17:53Oh, my God. It's amazing.
17:55Fifteen? Fifteen cigars anyway.
17:58Okay, Erica, take a look at your card.
17:59Tell me what you want to do.
18:02Higher. You're going to keep it?
18:03She goes higher than a four. We've got a queen.
18:05Lower. Lower than a queen. We've got...
18:07Ooh. Good card.
18:08$500 goes on Erica's side of the board right now.
18:11Let's replace that card.
18:13You're going lower than a queen again?
18:14Yeah. A 10?
18:16I'm going to freeze. Freeze is on the 10.
18:18Okay, so we freeze on the 10.
18:20She keeps Gil away from the cards.
18:22Next question's for her. She gets it right.
18:23She changes the 10, and who knows?
18:25She's got to tie it up if she wants to win it.
18:27Here we go, Erica.
18:28We surveyed 100 people, and we asked them,
18:31have you ever done something you're so ashamed of,
18:34you've never even told your best friend?
18:37How many people admitted they have done something
18:39they never told their best friend about?
18:42I think some things could be so horrible
18:44that they couldn't tell, so...
18:46But usually, your best friend, you really can fight,
18:48and so I think that number's going to be 43.
18:51Forty-three. Gil, what do you think, sir?
18:54I think it's got to be less. It's got to be lower.
18:57You're going lower than 43. Yes.
18:58Yeah, I'm going to go higher, much higher.
19:00The actual number of people who have done something
19:02they've never told their best friend about is 61.
19:05It is higher. It's not lower.
19:07Change that card.
19:08Erica's strategy pays off.
19:09Let's see what this 10 now becomes.
19:11A 2. Higher, higher, higher.
19:13Higher than a 2, a 6.
19:15I want to go for it. It better be higher than that.
19:17Higher than a 6 to tie up the match.
19:20No.
19:21So, Gil, you get a free shot at the cards.
19:23You're playing off this.
19:25You've got an 8. I'd like to change that card.
19:28You cannot. You didn't have the high-low question right.
19:31You've got to keep the cards, Gil.
19:32A higher. Higher than an 8.
19:34A 10.
19:36Lower. He's going lower than a 10.
19:38He's got a 5. Higher.
19:40Higher than a 5, he says. He's got a clean.
19:43Well, lower. Lower than a clean for the game.
19:45The match, the VCR. He did it.
19:51Erica. Poor Erica was trying.
19:55Well, Erica, good luck with your career, by the way.
19:58That's a very hard thing to do,
19:59and I know you're working hard at it.
20:01We've got some lovely parting gifts for you backstage.
20:02Thank you so much.
