00:31that automobile that comes automatically
00:32with a fifth win.
00:33So, without wasting any more of your time,
00:36Charlie, bring on our players.
00:38Bill, first-hour challenger from Lafayette, Georgia.
00:40He's a graphic designer who enjoys sailing
00:42and poetry, Gary Bailey.
00:46And our current champion is an aerospace engineer.
00:49His winnings total in cash and prizes,
00:51$7,475, Tobin Touchstone.
00:55Well, there are our players.
00:57And Gary Bailey from Lafayette, Georgia.
01:00I asked Gary yesterday where Lafayette was,
01:03and you said, tell me, let's do that again.
01:05Tell me where Lafayette is.
01:06Do like you did last time, Gary.
01:08Well, it's really true. It's in Plum Nellie country.
01:11Plum Nellie country. And I fell for it.
01:12I said, what is Plum Nellie country?
01:14And Gary said...
01:16It's Plum out of Tennessee, and it's Nellie out of Georgia.
01:19So, for those of you who missed us last time,
01:21that's the way it goes.
01:22So, for those of you who missed us last time,
01:24that's the way it goes. Welcome back, Gary.
01:26Thank you.
01:28As we are, our champion, Tobin Touchstone.
01:30He has his wife, Angela,
01:31and his father, Truman, both here with him.
01:34And all I can tell you about him right now,
01:36he has won four games.
01:37Thus far, he has $7,475 in the bank as won.
01:43If he wins this one, he adds to it not only $500 more,
01:47but that brand-new automobile.
01:50And that's what he's going for.
01:53So, a lot at stake for our champion,
01:57and, of course, a lot at stake for Gary, our challenger.
01:59Now, fellas, let me get out of the way,
02:01give you a chance to look at the categories.
02:03We'll be picking up with...
02:05These are the same ones we were playing with.
02:06Mythology, cooking, films of the 60s,
02:10sports world, and finally, factor photo,
02:13where you either see a photo or hear a fact.
02:15Both our guys are very good at cooking,
02:17which was proved last time.
02:19I know they're gonna try to avoid that
02:20if they possibly can.
02:22Well, there it is. Good luck to you, Gary.
02:24Let's have the score up there.
02:26All right, let's have some jokers.
02:27Gary spins away.
02:29He has cooking, factor photo, and another factor photo.
02:32That's better than two cookings, Gary.
02:34I think I better go for fact or photo for $100.
02:37All right, now, Gary, it's your choice.
02:39The answer to this particular factor photo question
02:42is the name of a famous aviator.
02:44Do you want to hear the facts
02:46or do you want to see the photo, Gary?
02:48I'd rather hear the facts.
02:49Okay, the fact coming up for you.
02:52The 1979 book titled, The Right Stuff,
02:55told of some of the daring exploits
02:57of this American military test pilot...
03:00Excuse me, who in 1947...
03:03Wait till I take a look at each other
03:04while I take a drink.
03:06Soft, of course.
03:12Oh, that was good.
03:14Who in 1947 became the first man
03:16to break the sound barrier?
03:18This famous flyer is Chuck Who.
03:21Now, let me read it again
03:23because I broke it up for you.
03:26In the book in 1979 called, The Right Stuff,
03:29told of some of the daring exploits
03:31of this military test pilot,
03:32who in 1947 became the first man
03:35to break the sound barrier.
03:36This famous flyer is Chuck Who.
03:40Oh.
03:42Uh-oh, and now we show the photo,
03:45move away, and Tobin, for a hundred bucks,
03:48don't forget, he's an aerospace engineer.
03:51Tobin, who is it?
03:52Chuck Yeager.
03:53Who else? Congratulations.
03:55I am sorry.
03:59There I go, I think I got my throat cleared out now.
04:01So, look where Tobin is.
04:02He has $450.
04:05Gary, do you have $450?
04:07$450.
04:08Gary, down there at $150.
04:10And, Tobin, you have a spin.
04:12This is a game for the car.
04:14Good luck, Tobin.
04:15Spin away.
04:16You have a three-way split,
04:22mythology, factor, photo, and sports world,
04:24but what do you want to do?
04:26Sports world for $50, Bill.
04:27And $50 would do it for you.
04:29You have $450.
04:31$50 would bring you the automobile total winnings
04:34for $14,225.
04:38Sports world, that's a big one.
04:42Question, I'm going to name three prominent players
04:45in the National Football League.

08:48I don't see it up there, but it is 375.
09:01Am I correct?
09:02375.
09:03Okay.
09:04Okay.
09:05Here we go.
09:06375.
09:07I'll keep track now.
09:08$475, $675, $725.
09:09I think it's $725, I think.
09:10Check the figures just for our sake here because we have no way
09:18to check.
09:19I've been sort of keeping a running total and I have $725.
09:23It is $725.
09:24Okay, I'll call them off for you.
09:25Want to go, Wayne?
09:27She says go.
09:28She says go.
09:29It's $725.
09:30Come on, baby.
09:31You have $8924.
09:32Oh.
09:33Well, you were well on your way there until that devil popped up, but he did come up and
09:39blow you right out of the wind, Tobin.
09:42In a sense, with my, the way my arithmetic was going, it might have been a blessing in
09:45disguise.
09:46For me, not for you.
09:47You still have five games.
09:49You have the automobile.
09:50You have total winnings, $14,225.
09:51And you're still playing.
09:52Play as long as you can continue to win.
09:53We'll be back with a new opponent for him right after this word for you.
10:15Tobin goes on, $14,000 plus in his favor, to his credit.
10:19Charlie, do you have another opponent for him?
10:21You bet we do, Bill.
10:22She's a nurse who is now home with her four children.
10:24Her interests include folk dancing and foreign languages, Dolly Green.
10:30Hello, Dolly Green.
10:35Hello.
10:36How many languages do you speak, Dolly?
10:38I speak four languages.
10:40What are they?
10:41German, French, and I'm more fluent in Spanish and in Hebrew.
10:44Oh, say something for us in Hebrew, why don't you?
10:47I'm very happy to be here today at Joker is Wild.
10:52I like the little Joker is Wild coming up in the end there.
10:55What does that mean?
10:56It means I'm very happy to be here today on Joker is Wild.
10:59Well, it sounds like a good idea in any language.
11:05You hear a lot of Hebrew in Tel Aviv, but you don't hear the Joker is Wild on the end
11:09of most phrases there.
11:10No.
11:11Dolly, we are happy to have you with us.
11:12You know how the game is played, do you not?
11:13I sure do.
11:14We're going to have a look at Tobin.
11:15He's going for his sixth game.
11:16I know.
11:17He has $14,225.
11:18All right, let me get out of the way here.
11:21Take a look, you both of you, take a look at the categories.
11:24We're going to be playing with unlikely pairs, Shakespeare, television, nicknames, and finally
11:31fast forward science.
11:33Fast forward is another one of those categories where you can build on it and make a big winner.
11:38Natural triple jackpot is worth $25.50.
11:41You know, that's automatic.
11:42We build it each day.
11:44If you get three categories the same.
11:45Dolly, you ready to begin?
11:46I sure am.
11:47All right.
11:48Good luck to Dolly Green.
11:49Okay.
11:50Let's see some Jokers up there.
11:51Dolly Green's winning red.
11:52Dolly has Shakespeare, unlikely pair.
11:53There's a Joker for you.
11:55Okay.
11:56I'll take unlikely pairs for $100, Bill.
11:59Unlikely pairs for $100, Dolly.
12:01One half of this unlikely pair is a guitar playing blues singer known as B.B.
12:07The other half is a famous female athlete named Billie Jean.
12:13What's the last name they share, Dolly, for $100?
12:17King?
12:18King is right.
12:19B.B.
12:20King and Billie Jean.
12:21That's the way unlikely pairs works.
12:22Or work.
12:23Tobin, your spin.
12:24I spin.
12:25Okay.
12:26Come on, Jokers.
12:27Tobin, look at that.
12:28Joker, Shakespeare, Shakespeare.
12:29He is the best spinner.
12:30I watched.
12:31His spinning has been better than anyone's for months.
12:39He just knows how to spin those wheels.
12:41Okay.
12:42I'm gonna try Shakespeare for $200.
12:43You sure do.
12:44For $200, Tobin, this Shakespearean character was a black moor who was tricked into murdering
12:50his wife Desdemona.
12:53When he realized what had happened, he took his own life describing himself as one that
12:59loved not wisely, but too well.
13:04For $200, on your side of the board, Tobin, name this tragic character.
13:10Do not help.
13:11Hamlet.
13:12Hamlet.
13:13No.
13:14Dolly, you can pick up the $200.
13:15Have $300 if you can name this tragic character.
13:18Macbeth.
13:19No.
13:20Othello.
13:21Othello.
13:22Othello.
13:23So, it stands at $100 to nothing, and Dolly has the lead, and she has a spin coming.
13:28So, if you would, please, Dolly.
13:29Let's see some Jokers.
13:30Dolly has fast forward, nicknames, fast forward, and what do you wanna do?
13:35I'll take fast forward for $100.
13:38In this one, you answer as many questions as you wish.
13:41Each one pays the amount of the spin, $100.
13:43If you miss an answer, you lose the total money you earned in the spin, so here's your
13:47first one.
13:48You decide after.
13:49For $100, Dolly, when the space shuttle lifts off from its launching pad, the astronauts
13:55inside are subject to strong pressures, which scientists call the G-force.
14:01What does the letter G stand for, Dolly, in G-force for your first $100?
14:08Gyrating?
14:09No.
14:10And you, Tobin, can pick up the $100 if you can tell me what an aerospace engineer...
14:17What G stands for in G-force?
14:19Gravity.
14:20Is right.
14:21You have the $100.
14:22It's over on your side of the board.
14:23All right.
14:24All right, Tobin, you have a spin coming.
14:25Okay, let's see some Jokers.
14:26That last one came in Joker, nicknames, nicknames.
14:27Look at him spin.
14:28Yes, sir?
14:29Yeah, I'll try nicknames for $200, Bill.
14:35In July of 1938, a pilot named Douglas Corrigan landed his plane in Ireland, even though his
14:42official destination was California.
14:45What was the famous two-word nickname given to the confused Mr. Corrigan for $200, Tobin?
14:53Wrong way.
14:54Wrong way.
14:55Corrigan, sure.
14:56So, it's $300 to $100, and we'll be back at Jokers Wild with a game between Tobin and
15:01Dolly, right after this word, please.
15:08I want to talk to Dolly Green for a while.
15:13Dolly, we've met.
15:14Tobin's been with us for several days.
15:15We've met Tobin's people.
15:17His wife and his father are here with us.
15:20How about you?
15:21Anyone in the audience?
15:22Oh, I sure do.
15:23I have my family with me.
15:24Introduce them, please.
15:25Okay.
15:26There's my daughter, Karen.
15:27Raise your hand, please, Karen.
15:28Raise your hand.
15:29Oh, yeah.
15:31My husband, Stephanie.
15:32My husband of 17 years, Larry.
15:33My daughter, Jennifer.
15:34And my mother-in-law, who I love dearly, Loretta.
15:35Well, you got...
15:36That's a very good...
15:37That's an excellent representation.
15:38I hope you stay with us a long time, Dolly, because when you leave, we're gonna lose half
15:39our audience.
15:40We're ready for you to spin now, Dolly, if you're ready to go.
15:41You got rooters out there.
15:42Okay.
15:43Let's go, Jokers.
15:44Let's see what Dolly does.
15:45She has television, nicknames, and...
15:46Well, it's three-way spinning.
15:47Three-way spinning.
15:48Three-way spinning.
15:49Three-way spinning.
15:50Three-way spinning.
15:51Three-way spinning.
15:52Three-way spinning.
15:54All right.
15:55Here's your question, Dolly.
15:56During its five-year run, the Muppet Show was one of the most widely viewed television
15:57programs in the world.
15:58Most of its success can be attributed to the man who first created these popular puppets.
15:59For $50, please, Dolly.
16:00He is Jim Hoover.
16:01Jim Hoover.
16:02$50.
16:03$50.
16:04$50.
16:05$50.
16:06$50.
16:07$50.
16:08$50.
16:09$50.
16:10$50.
16:11$50.
16:12$50.
16:13$50.
16:14$50.
16:15$50.
16:16$50.
16:17$50.
16:18$50.
16:19$50.
16:20$50.
16:21$50.
16:22The correct answer is Jim who?
16:25Henson
16:26Jim Henson is the correct answer.
16:28And you have $50 up there.
16:31All right, Tobin.
16:33Okay, let's get a big one here.
16:35Come on, Joker?
16:36Let's call this a battle of the relatives with you
16:37to television fast forward.
16:39No.
16:41No.
16:42See, he spins well.
16:43They go to Joker every time.
16:45Okay, Bill, I'm going to try fast forward Science for $100.
16:46Oh, boy.
16:47I bet you are being an aerospace engineer.
16:48until you miss.
16:50If you miss one, you lose everything you want.
16:51Number one coming up.
16:53This metallic element is a liquid in its normal state.
16:57It flows so easily and rapidly
16:59that it is sometimes called quicksilver.
17:02For $100 in your first answer, name this amazing metal.
17:06Mercury.
17:08And what else would a scientist say but mercury?
17:10All right, you have a hundred.
17:12Do you want to go on?
17:14Yes, sir. I'll try one more.
17:15Risking your hundred to win another hundred.
17:17If you answer this correctly, that's it.
