00:45Thank you.
00:46♪♪
00:48Oh, thank you very much.
00:49And welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Double Dare.
00:53This is a brand-new game that has us all very excited.
00:56We like it, and we hope you wind up liking it just as much.
00:59Very briefly, let me say that Double Dare is a game of knowledge and nerve,
01:03and you're gonna find out in a few moments exactly what I mean when I say that,
01:07right after we introduce our contestants.
01:08So let's go over and meet the players, shall we?
01:10Alex, here's challenger number one, Janna Klotzman!
01:15Hello, Janna.
01:16Hello.
01:17Welcome to the program.
01:19You have the honor of being the very first contestant introduced on Double Dare,
01:23so please tell me a little bit about yourself.
01:25Okay.
01:26I'm a part-time medical stenographer and a part-time songwriter-singer,
01:31and I'm married to a clown.
01:34Married to a clown?
01:35A professional clown or an amateur clown?
01:37Well, actually, he's a law school, but he does clown shows for children's parties.
01:41Okay, I hope you feel very serious about what you're about to undertake on Double Dare.
01:45Oh, thank you.
01:46Good luck to you.
01:46Thank you.
01:47Let's say hello to your opponent.
01:48Challenging Janna Klotzman is Barry Sack!
01:53We have just learned two important facts about your opponent,
01:57so perhaps you can clue us in as to your background and your family secrets, if you will.
02:04Okay.
02:04I'm a deputy district attorney for Los Angeles County.
02:07I'm married.
02:07I have two small, wonderful children.
02:09In my spare time, I collect American Indian art, and I'm a volunteer Big Brother.
02:14Oh, well, you're busy in a lot of areas.
02:16Okay, that will help you on Double Dare.
02:17Good luck to you.
02:18Let me review some of the facts.
02:20Good luck to you.
02:21Let me review some of the rules on our show.
02:24We present clues to famous people, places, and things for our contestants,
02:30and we present those clues one at a time.
02:32The clues get easier as we go along.
02:35The first player to come up with the correct answer wins $50 and the right to make a dare.
02:39So, players, are you ready?
02:40Ready.
02:41Yes.
02:41Good.
02:42Then we will show our home audience the correct answer,
02:45and I will tell you, contestants, that the first subject is a person.
02:49Good luck to you both.
02:50Here we go.
02:51Clue number one.
02:54He once stood trial for the murder of a native marauder at a jungle camp where he was employed.
03:01Next clue.
03:03His first Hollywood job was as a corpse in the 1935 Perry Mason film,
03:08The Case of the Curious Bride.
03:12Clue number three.
03:14Jack Benny said this actor had the unique distinction
03:17of being the only man mentioned in both Who's Who and The Kinsey Report.
03:24Let's go on.
03:26Charged with rape, he said,
03:28I was terrified until I saw the girl.
03:31She was so ugly, I knew I couldn't have done it.
03:34And that was Janna's.
03:37Ringing in, and she has sealed Barry's booth.
03:40He cannot see or hear what is going on, so, Janna, give us your answer.
03:44Errol Flynn.
03:44You are absolutely right.
03:47That means you now have $50 in cash.
03:51The game is $500.
03:52You can move a little closer to that goal right now because you are in a dare situation.
03:57I want you to take a look at the next clue.
04:00As a practical joke, director Raoul Walsh stole John Barrymore's corpse
04:06and sat it in this man's living room.
04:09Now, you can take our dare and show Barry this clue
04:12and gamble that he won't be able to come up with the right answer.
04:15Errol Flynn, if that's the way it works out, then you receive an additional $100.
04:19If he does get the right answer, then he picks up $50 and we have a tie game.
04:23Do you want to take the dare and show him the clue?
04:25Yes, I'll dare him.
04:26Fine. Let's bring Barry back in.
04:30Barry, Janna came up with the right answer, and she has taken the dare.
04:34You will have five seconds to look at the clue and come up with an answer.
04:38If you're right, you get $50.
04:40If you're wrong, she gets $100.
04:42Here is the clue.
04:46Barry, do you have an answer?
04:48Groucho Marx.
04:49Groucho Marx is incorrect.
04:50That's $100 more for Janna, and we close Barry's boot.
04:58Good going, Janna.
04:59That's where the nerve comes in on Double Dare, and it paid off for you.
05:02$150, and now you're in a Double Dare situation.
05:05Look at the next clue.
05:07Since the title of the film, Elizabeth the Queen, made no note of his role,
05:12he had it changed to Elizabeth and Essex.
05:16That's the Double Dare clue.
05:17Do you think it would help Barry come up with Errol Flynn?
05:20Do you want to take the Double Dare and show it to him,
05:22or do you want us to stop and go on to another subject?
05:24Try the Double Dare.
05:25Okay, if it works for you and he misses again,
05:28you receive an additional $200,
05:30and you will then have a commanding $350 lead in this game.
05:34Let's bring Barry back.
05:37Janna has decided to take the Double Dare,
05:39and you've got five seconds to look at this clue, Barry.
05:48Do you have an answer?
05:49Ronald Coleman.
05:50Ronald Coleman is wrong.
05:51Errol Flynn's the right answer.
05:53Janna picks up the $200.
05:55She now has a total of $350.
05:58Nice going.
05:59All right, we are going to go to another subject,
06:02but first we have to take a break for this important commercial word.
06:05Stay tuned, won't you?
06:10Welcome back to Double Dare.
06:12The game is $500, and at the moment,
06:14Janna Klotzman is leading with $350.
06:18Her opponent, Barry Sachs, has yet to earn some cash.
06:21Perhaps it'll happen as we go to this subject,
06:24and first of all, for you people who want to play along with us,
06:26don't look at your screens right now,
06:28because here is the correct answer.
06:30And players, the subject this time is a person.
06:34Clue number one, coming up.
06:36He used Lily of the Valley perfume on his breast pocket handkerchief.
06:41Second clue.
06:43He carried an official deputy sheriff's badge,
06:46which he would flash when necessary.
06:48That's Janna's buzzer.
06:50Tell me the answer.
06:51Wild Bill Hickok.
06:53Wild Bill Hickok is wrong,
06:55so we're going to close you off for now,
06:57and we will bring Barry back.
06:59Janna gave me an incorrect answer, Barry,
07:02so that's good news for you,
07:03because you get to look at a penalty clue.
07:05The next clue will be for your eyes alone,
07:07and we'll give you a free guess also.
07:09Here it is.
07:11He once said,
07:13all I ever did was supply a demand that was pretty popular.
07:17What's the answer?
07:20$35.
07:22Incorrect.
07:24But you do have an advantage in that Janna will never get a look at that clue.
07:28Let's bring her back.
07:30Well, you're still alive in this subject,
07:32Janna, because Barry didn't come up with the right answer,
07:35so we continue.
07:36You are both eligible once again as we look at this clue together.
07:41No American has ever matched his 1927 gross income.
07:48Moving along to clue number five.
07:50Ironically, he refused to take a syphilis test
07:53because he was afraid of needles.
07:57Next clue.
08:00One of his headquarters, Cicero, Illinois.
08:03This time, it's Barry who buzzes in, sealing Janna's booth.
08:07What's the answer?
08:08Al Capone.
08:09Al Capone is right.
08:10Yes, $50 for you.
08:13Barry, you are now in a dare situation,
08:16so let's take a look at the next clue.
08:19Rod Steiger, Neville Brand, and Ben Gazzara all played him.
08:23You know what happens here?
08:25If you decide to take our dare and show Janna this clue and she misses,
08:28you win $100.
08:29If she gets it, she will have $50.
08:31Right now, she has a total of $350.
08:35What do you want to do?
08:36Do you think that clue would give it to her?
08:39Probably, but I will take the dare.
08:41Going to take the dare anyway.
08:42All right, let's bring Janna back.
08:45Barry gave us the right answer.
08:46He has taken the dare.
08:47You've got five seconds to look at this clue and give me an answer.
08:53A right answer will give you $400, Janna.
08:57Al Capone.
08:58You are right.
08:59Yes, indeed.
09:00Well, you're trailing so badly, Barry,
09:04I suppose you felt you had to take the chance,
09:06but, you know, things can turn around very quickly on Double Dare.
09:10Let's see what happens on this subject.
09:12First of all, the correct answer for you folks at home.
09:15And I will tell you that you are right.
09:17Let's see what happens on this subject.
09:19First of all, the correct answer for you folks at home.
09:21And I will tell you that you are looking for a person.
09:25And here is the first clue.
09:29He was once fined $10,000 for smuggling jewelry into the U.S.
09:35Next clue.
09:37He raised $6 million for symphony orchestras all over America.
09:43Third clue.
09:45A shortly effeminate walk prompted Carol Lombard to refer to him as Auntie.
09:50Janna thinks she has the right answer.
09:52Let's hear it.
09:53Jack Benny.
09:54You are correct.
09:55Yes, indeed.
09:57Janna, that brings your total to $450.
10:00You are just one correct answer away from winning the game.
10:05Now, you're in the dare situation,
10:07and you could wrap it all up right here
10:09if you decide to give the next clue to Barry.
10:12Let's look at it, first of all.
10:14There was a special one-cent slot machine for him
10:16at the Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel.
10:19Now, you can give that to Barry,
10:20and if he misses, you've got the game.
10:23I'll dare him.
10:24You figure your lead is big enough?
10:26Let's bring Barry back.
10:29She got the right answer.
10:30She's taken the dare.
10:31Here's the clue for you.
10:40Barry, what's the answer?
10:41Jack Benny.
10:42You are right, and that gives you $50 more.
10:44You're now at $100.
10:48$100 for Barry, $450 still for Janna.
10:51She is just one correct answer away from taking the game
10:54and then going on to try for $5,000.
10:56Right now, though, we're gonna try to take a break
10:58for some commercial messages.
11:00Stay tuned.
11:02Double dare.
11:03Janna Klotzman with $450.
11:05Our leader right now.
11:06A game is $500.
11:07Barry, it's not out of reach for you.
11:09Let's go on to our next subject,
11:11and we'll show you folks the correct answer.
11:13And I'll tell you players that you're looking for a thing.
11:16Here's your first clue.
11:20J.P. Morgan had a very big one
11:22covered with red and purple spots.
11:27Next clue.
11:29According to Pascal,
11:31it has been said that if Cleopatra's had been shorter,
11:34the history of the world would have been different.
11:36That was Barry sealing Janna's booth.
11:39What's the answer, Barry?
11:40A yacht.
11:41A yacht?
11:42That is wrong.
11:43And so we close you off
11:45and we'll bring Janna back.
11:48Barry buzzed in first
11:49but came up with a wrong answer, Janna.
11:51You get a look at the penalty clue
11:53and you'll get a free guess.
11:55And if you are right,
11:56you win the game.
11:58Here it is.
12:00Aristotle said its shape revealed one's character.
12:04What is the answer?
12:06A nose.
12:07You are right.
12:08$100 and the game.
12:09Here's the new champion.
12:10Come out here, Janna.
12:13Barry, the right answer was a nose, not a yacht.
12:16Sorry about that.
12:17You got $100 in cash, though,
12:18and some gifts backstage.
12:20Thank you for joining us on Double Dare.
12:22I hope you enjoyed it.
12:23Goodbye.
12:24Congratulations to you.
12:26How do you feel?
12:27Oh, I'm nervous.
12:28You're nervous.
12:29All right.
12:30And well, you should be
12:31because you just won $500.
12:32And in a few moments,
12:33you're gonna get a chance at ten times that amount
12:36as you're gonna get to play a game
12:37we call Beat the Spoilers.
12:39And we will go to that
12:40right after this pause.
12:47The very first player we introduced on Double Dare
12:49has become our very first champion.
12:51This attractive young girl is Janna Klotsman
12:53and she has just won $500.
12:55And now, Janna,
12:56you have a chance to pick up $5,000
12:59as you get to face the Spoilers.
13:07And the reason we call them Spoilers
13:09is because they win money
13:12if they can keep you from winning the $5,000.
13:15Now, each of these Spoilers is a PhD.
13:18Let me introduce them.
13:19Spoiler number one is Dr. Don Noven.
13:23Spoiler number two is Dr. Ira Greenberg.
13:27And spoiler number three is Dr. Lee Franz.
13:31Those are the Spoilers.
13:33Those are the Spoilers.
13:35Let's shut them out now.
13:37They can't hear us.
13:38And now you can boo them all you want.
13:41They're the bad guys.
13:43Now, here's how you get to beat the Spoilers.
13:45On this board here, we have
13:47eight clues to a person, place, or thing.
13:51You have to pick four of them
13:53and give them to the Spoilers
13:54hoping they're not gonna be able
13:55to come up with the right answer.
13:57Each time a Spoiler gives an incorrect answer,
13:59we pay you $100.
14:01Now, if you can give all four clues
14:04and we have just one Spoiler
14:06who has not been able to come up with the right answer,
14:08then you'll win $5,000.
14:10It's as simple as that.
14:11Do you understand?
14:12Okay, fine.
14:13Let's look at the correct answer
14:15at the top of the board.
14:18Julius Caesar.
14:20Pick a clue.
14:21Number three.
14:24Rex Harrison and Elizabeth Taylor
14:26dramatized his Egyptian love affair.
14:29Now, I told you that there are...
14:30You have to give four clues
14:32and there are obviously eight of them up there,
14:34so there are four left over.
14:35We will give you four passes
14:37in case you don't like a clue.
14:39All right?
14:40Tell me whether you want to give this clue or pass.
14:42I'm gonna pass this time.
14:44Okay, the audience seems to agree with you.
14:46You've used one pass.
14:47Pick another clue.
14:48Two.
14:51He said all gall is divided into three parts.
14:55No way. Pass.
14:58Fine, a lot of people on the left side of the audience
15:00were saying give and you elected to pass.
15:02By the way, I should mention for the benefit of our viewers
15:05that the eight numbers up there are no indication
15:07as to whether the clues are easy or hard
15:09or good or bad clues.
15:11You have now used up two passes.
15:13Pick another clue for me.
15:14Five.
15:17He said I came, I saw, I conquered.
15:21Pass or give?
15:22Pass.
15:23Okay.
15:24It's all right.
15:25Three passes used up.
15:26You still have to give away four clues.
15:28There are five clues up there.
15:30Pick another one.
15:31Make it a good one this time.
15:32Number eight.
15:35At 16, he served as a priest in the temple of Jupiter.
15:40People are saying to give that one.
15:42I'll give it.
15:43Fine.
15:44All right, let's go to the spoilers.
15:47Spoilers, the subject is a person
15:50and here is the clue.
15:51At 16, he served as a priest in the temple of Jupiter.
15:56We'll go to spoiler number one.

16:00No answer.
16:01All right, that's $100 for you, Jana.
16:03Nice going.
16:05Let's go to spoiler number two.
16:07Dr. Greenberg.
16:09Alexander the Great.
16:10Alexander the Great is wrong.
16:12You're up to $200.
16:14Good.
16:15Now we go to Dr. Franz.
16:17Spoiler number three, do you have an answer?
16:19Spoiler number three, do you have an answer?
16:21W.C. Fields.
16:22That is incorrect.
16:24Okay, $300 for you.
16:26Pick another clue.
16:27Seven.
16:29He cherished his laurel wreath
16:31because it hid his baldness.

16:34I'll give it.
16:35Fine.
16:36Spoilers.
16:37He cherished his laurel wreath
16:39because it hid his baldness.
16:41Dr. Novan, you get to answer first.
16:43Julius Caesar.
16:45You're right, Dr. Novan.
16:47You have earned your $100.
16:49Let's go to Dr. Greenberg.
16:52Spoiler number two, your answer, please.
16:54Julius Caesar.
16:56You are correct.
16:58That's $100 for you.
17:00Let's go to...
17:01You're still alive.
17:02Oh, we have to deal with spoiler number three.
17:04Let's see if we can get it past him.
17:06Dr. Franz.
17:07Julius Caesar.
17:10Too good for us in this round.
17:12You were all right.
17:13Each of you has earned $100
17:15and you wind up with $300
17:17for a total of $800,
17:18which is pretty good going.
17:19And you're the new champ,
17:20so you're gonna get to play against the challenger.
17:23We're gonna start another match right after this one.
17:29Our champion, Janet Klotzman,
17:31is in the champion's booth.
17:32She has $800,
17:33and let's go on, on Double Dare,
17:36and introduce her opponent.
17:37Challenging Janet Klotzman
17:39is Gary James.
17:41Hi, Gary.
17:42Hi, how are you?
17:43I am well.
17:44I hope you are also.
17:45We've got a new champion,
17:46and it's your job to dethrone her.
17:48You're familiar with the rules?
17:49I'm very familiar.
17:50Okay, good.
17:51We're gonna get right to it then.
17:52We're gonna go right on to our first subject,
17:54and we may not have time to complete this game,
17:57so when we run out of time,
17:58we will stop there.
17:59Here is the correct answer
18:01in our very first subject,
18:03and we're looking for a person.
18:06First clue coming up for you, players.
18:08Here it is.
18:10Often too shy to ask women out personally,
18:12he had members of his staff do it for him.
18:16Gary has buzzed in.
18:18He has sealed Janet's booth.
18:19What's the answer, Gary?
18:20Howard Hughes.
18:21You are right.
18:22Got it on the first clue.
18:23Nice going.
18:26You're in a very good position right now,
18:28getting it on the first clue.
18:29This is the dare situation.
18:31Let's take a look at clue number two.
18:33He subsisted on a diet mainly of fudge and sweets
18:36and was suffering from malnutrition
18:38at the time of his death.
18:40Do you want to take our dare?
18:41Show Janet that clue
18:42and gamble that she won't know the right answer.
18:44It's Howard Hughes.
18:45I'll dare her.
18:46Okay, fine.
18:47Let's bring Janet back.
18:49Janet is busy in there thinking very hard.
18:52Gary got the right answer.
18:53He has taken the dare.

19:07You are right for $50,
19:10and the game is all tied up.
19:12Okay.
19:16Each of our players now has $50,
19:18and we are out of time.
19:20Gary, it looks as if that was a tactical error on your part.
19:23Not the right moment at which to take our dare,
19:26but it didn't cost you too much.
19:27It's still very early in the game,
19:29and anything can happen.
