00:00Here's the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen.
00:17It's the Joker's Wild.
00:19And now, here is the host of our show, Jack Barry.
00:23Thank you very much, and of course, welcome once again to the Joker's Wild, the program
00:33where players determine their own fate by spinning our category wheels, trying to get
00:37to $500 so they can become the champion.
00:39We crowned a brand new champion on our last program.
00:41She won $550.
00:42We didn't get a chance to spin for prizes.
00:44We're going to do that right now as Johnny reintroduces the champion.
00:47John?
00:48Okay, Jack.
00:49Our current champion is the mother of two teenage daughters.
00:51Here is Jean Alkaness.
00:53Hi, Jean.
00:55Good morning.
00:57Welcome back to the Joker's Wild.
01:00On our last program, we found out that you are a schoolteacher teaching out in Northridge,
01:04California.
01:05And you went ahead and you stopped the gentleman from breaking the jackpot, and you're in the
01:08running yourself now.
01:09You won $550, but we didn't have a chance to spin for prizes.
01:12As you know, up on our category wheels are jokers and devils.
01:15Whenever three jokers comes up, you get a prize.
01:17Whenever a devil comes up, you lose.
01:18Johnny, what's the first prize for which she'll be spinning?
01:21The unsinkable all-fiberglass Super Sabbath from the Sydney Company carries two people
01:26and is fully equipped for racing.
01:27It's a lovely sailboat.
01:29You can win with three jokers come up.
01:31Spin and good luck.
01:33Joker, Joker, Joker.
01:34That's prize number one.
01:35From here on in, you have to take a risk.
01:43Let's take a look and see what prize number two is.
01:45A Broil Hill bedroom.
01:47It's Tahiti, a modern bedroom in canary yellow with white plastic tops.
01:51Six lovely pieces from Broil Hill Industries of Lenore, North Carolina.
01:55Now it's up to you.
01:56If you spin and three jokers comes up, you win both prizes.
01:58If a devil comes up, you lose.
01:59What do you want to do?
02:00Quit or go ahead?
02:01What do you want to do, June?
02:02Let's see.
02:03What do you want to do?
02:04My 17-year-old just had her birthday.
02:05She wants new bedroom furniture.
02:06I'd like to give her a present.
02:07Go ahead.
02:08I hope you get it.
02:09Let's see what you do.
02:10You have a present.
02:11It's Tahiti.
02:12A modern bedroom in canary yellow with white plastic tops.
02:13Six lovely pieces from Broil Hill Industries of Lenore, North Carolina.
02:14I'd like to give her a present.
02:15Go ahead.
02:16I hope you get it.
02:17Let's see what you do.
02:18You have a joker, and a joker, and a joker.
02:19Now you have two prizes.
02:20Listen carefully now.
02:21You may want to risk even more as you hear about prize number three.
02:30Jamaica, a one-week dream vacation in Jamaica.
02:37You'll stay at the fabulous Tower Isles Hotel overlooking Jamaica's white sandy beaches.
02:41You'll always cherish your Jamaican holiday at the Tower Isles Hotel worth over $1,200.
02:47Now it's up to you, Jean.
02:50You can quit with the prizes you've won, or you can go ahead.
02:53If the devil comes up, you lose all the prizes.
02:55What do you do?
02:56Quit or continue?
02:57What do you say, Jean?
02:58She wants to speak.
02:59Let her speak.
03:00No.
03:01If you would have said London, I would have spin.
03:02I want to take the two prizes.
03:03I want the two prizes.
03:04I want the two prizes.
03:05I want the two prizes.
03:06I want the two prizes.
03:07I want the two prizes.
03:08I want the two prizes.
03:09I want the two prizes.
03:10I want the two prizes.
03:11I want that bedroom set.
03:12And stop with those prizes.
03:13Very good for your daughter, the bedroom set.
03:14And in a moment, you'll have another decision to make whether you want to keep playing or
03:18not.
03:19We'll get that decision right after these words.
03:23The champion is Jean Elkines.
03:24Jean, moment of decision is at hand.
03:26You have $550.
03:27If you play in the next game and you lose it, you lose the 550.
03:30However, if you play in two more games and win them both, you would break our jackpot.
03:34In the jackpot now, in cash, $6,900.
03:39In addition, should you break the jackpot, you would also take home this elegant gift.
03:44A carload of German precision, Buick's Opel Manta, the new sport coupe imported by General
03:49Motors, sold in service by 2,200 Buick dealers, featuring rack and pinion steering, front
03:54disc brakes, and reclining bucket seats.
03:56Up to you, Jean.
03:57Do you quit or go ahead?
03:58Go.
03:59You're going to go?
04:00Go.
04:01She wants to go.
04:02Okay.
04:03She's going.
04:04And we're going to bring out a worthy opponent to see if he can defeat the teacher.
04:12Many youngsters out in the audience today who are rooting for the teacher to break the
04:15jackpot.
04:16Can she do it?
04:17It'll depend on the next challenger.
04:19Who is it, Johnny?
04:20Well, Jack, our next player attended Oxford University.
04:23Let's meet Don Johnson.
04:24Hi, Don.
04:25Hi, Jack.
04:26Welcome to the Joker's Wild.
04:28Tell me a little bit about Oxford University.
04:32Is it very, very stiff and very British?
04:34Well, I was only there for a term while I was in college, and the school that I went
04:39to is very modern.
04:40It's just an affiliate.
04:41They've given up most of the traditions because they're new.
04:43They were founded by J.B.
04:44Priestley back in the 18th century.
04:46But most of the schools still are very traditional.
04:49The lecturers still wear robes, they still sit at long tables, and they sing a Latin
04:52grace before dinner.
04:53Very nice.
04:54I understand that before you went to Oxford, you actually hitchhiked your way through Europe.
04:58Was that interesting?
04:59Right.
05:00Right.
05:01I had a lot of good times during that five weeks, right.
05:03Are you a married fellow?
05:04No.
05:05No.
05:06Single.
05:07Okay.
05:08What are you doing right now with your life?
05:09I'm at UCLA Law School.
05:10Law School.
05:11Right.
05:12Very good.
05:13Okay, players, here we go with the game now.
05:14You're trying to challenge the teacher.
05:16Let's see if you can hang on there as we show you the five categories that are going to
05:20be used.
05:21They are the Marx Brothers, the stock market, Africa, beverages, and world leaders.
05:27Champion goes first.
05:28So, Eugene, in your second game, spin and good luck.
05:33Africa, beverages, and a pair on Africa.
05:36All right.
05:37We'll take Africa.
05:38$100 question.
05:39A hundred years ago, because so much of the continent of Africa was unexplored, it was
05:43given a nickname.
05:44What name was applied to the continent?
05:47The Dark Continent.
05:48Right for $100.
05:49Don Johnson, your first spin.
05:50Good luck.
05:51Beverages, beverages, and Africa.
05:58I'll take beverages for $100.
05:59$100 beverage.
06:00Okay.
06:01What is the traditional bourbon drink served on Derby Day in Louisville, Kentucky?

06:10Ball's all tied up.
06:11Your next spin, Jean.
06:12World leaders, stock market.
06:13All 10.

06:18All 10.
06:19All 10.
06:20All 10.
06:21All 10.
06:22All 10.
06:23I'll take the stock market.
06:24Okay, Jean, stock market for $100.
06:25And here is the question.
06:26A statistical tool of market analysts is a daily report of the movements of 30 of the
06:31top industrial stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.
06:34What is that index called?
06:36The Dow Jones Industrial Average.
06:38Right.
06:39You go to $200.
06:40Don Johnson, your spin.
06:44Africa, world leaders, and a pair on Africa.
06:48Okay.
06:49I'll take Africa for $100.
06:50Located in the province of Cape of Good Hope,
06:52this South African city is called
06:54the center of the diamond region.
06:55Name the city.
06:58Johannesburg?
06:59No. $100 is yours, Jean,
07:00if you can tell me the name of the city.
07:02Oh, oh, the, uh, in Africa.
07:06Oh, I'm thinking, no.
07:08Kimberly. Kimberly.
07:10Score stands 200 to 100, but it is your spin, Jean.
07:13Well, let's give it one.
07:16World leaders, Joker and a triple.
07:18Want to go all the way with it?
07:23Oh, yes.
07:24Correct answer would bring you to $400.
07:28Along with German and Italian help,
07:30he managed to end the civil war in Spain during 1939,
07:33and today he still rules that country as its chief of state.
07:36For $200 more, name him.
07:38Franco.
07:39Right, for $400.
07:40Don, your spin.
07:46Marx Brothers, Joker, and the stock market.
07:50Take the stock market for $100.
07:52$100.
07:53Stocks or bonds of city or county governments
07:55are referred to by a specific name.
07:57What is the name of these special stocks or bonds?
08:05No.
08:06Sorry, you don't know?
08:07No.
08:08This game could be at an end.
08:09$100 more added to your score, Jean,
08:11you would have $500,
08:12and you would have won your second game.
08:14What are they known as?
08:15Municipal bonds.
08:16Right, for $500.
08:21And so the teacher of Northridge, California,
08:23has done it again,
08:24adding the $500 to the $550 in the last game.
08:26She is now winning $1,050,
08:28and in a moment we'll give her a chance
08:29to spin for some more prizes.
08:30Don, you had a short stay.
08:32We hope not too unpleasant.
08:33Backstage, there will be some going-away prizes for you.
08:36Let's say goodbye to Don Johnson.
08:37Goodbye, Don.
08:39And we'll be back to spin for prizes after these words.
08:44Okay, Jean, in the first game,
08:46you won yourself some nice prizes,
08:47a sailboat and bedroom furniture.

11:51I know that you don't believe in hazing.
11:53How about your fraternity?
11:54Do they believe in it?
11:55No, we don't.
11:56In fact, we were the first fraternity nationally
11:58to do away with hazing.

17:05Gene, you don't take home any of your money,
17:07but you do have a lovely group of prizes
17:10worth over $1,365.
17:12I'm especially glad that you got the bedroom
17:14set for your daughter.
17:15Let's say goodbye to Gene Elton.
17:18We'll be back with more of our Joker's Wild game
17:21after these words.
17:22Hollywood show.
17:23530 Pacific.
17:25The new champion, Marty Moss,
17:26winning $550 and as always,
17:28the right to spin for prizes.
17:29Marty, here's the first prize that you might win.
17:32Johnny?
17:33From Starflight, a six-piece woman's ensemble
17:35including a model stowed and men's four-piece grouping.
17:37Starflight is the perfect companion for traveling.
17:39It's lightweight and resists stains, dents, and bruises.
17:42That's yours for three Jokers.
17:43The devil loses it.
17:44Spinning, good luck.
17:47Joker.
17:48Joker.
17:49Aw.
17:51The devil got you.
17:53I'm very, very sorry.
17:54The devil made you do it, right?
17:55The devil made you do it, and I'm very sorry.
17:57You don't get any prizes, but you do have $550.
18:00That's yours.
18:01You can quit right now and put it in your pocket
18:03and be happy.
18:04If you want to go ahead, though,
18:05there's a lot in store for you.
18:06If you lose the next game, you would lose the 550,
18:09but if you should win two more games,
18:11you would break our jackpot.
18:12In the jackpot now, courtesy of Gene, who just lost,
18:16is $7,950 in cash,
18:20and in addition, you would win the lovely automobile
18:23worth over $2,600.
18:24All told, $10,500 in cash and prizes.
18:28Do you quit or continue?
18:30Quit.
18:38What do you say, Marty?
18:39Well, at this time, $550 looks pretty good,
18:41so like Woody Allen would say,
18:42I'll take the money and run.
18:43Take the money and run with $550.
18:46Thank you very much.
18:47Let's say goodbye to the outgoing champion,
18:49Marty Moss.
18:50Goodbye, Marty.
18:51Thank you very much.
18:54There you have it.
18:55A gentleman quitting with $550
18:57probably needs it to pay for a few bills,
19:00and that means we have to have two new players out here
19:03because that jackpot's really going up.
19:04So, John, would you introduce the new players, please?
19:07Okay, Jack.
19:08Our next player is a substitute teacher.
19:10Here is Eni Sarkis.
19:16Her opponent flies his own airplane
19:18to places like Mazatlan, Mexico.
19:20This is Ivan Lane.
19:24Well, we're glad to have you both on.
19:26Say, Eni, you are a substitute teacher.
19:28Right, in Compton.
19:29In where?
19:30Compton.
19:31Compton, California.
19:32Well, Jean, who is our champion,
19:34and almost broke the jackpot with $12,000 in it,
19:36has just lost.
19:37Maybe you can get in there
19:39and defend the rights of all teachers
19:41by breaking our jackpot.
19:42Do you like teaching?
19:43Yes, I do very much.
19:44Are you a married lady?
19:45Yes, I married one of my students.
19:46I was teaching adult education,
19:47teaching English to foreign students.
19:49Oh, you scared me for a minute
19:50when you said you married one of your students.
19:52No.
19:53Delighted to have you with us.
19:54Ivan, you fly your own plane, right?
19:55That's right.
19:56You're a married man?
19:57Yes, I am.
19:58I have two daughters.
19:59Does your family fly with you
20:00when you go to Mazatlan, Mexico,
20:02and places like that?
20:03My children like to fly with me.
20:04My wife still is a little reticent about it.
20:07I have the same problem.
20:08I fly a plane, too,
20:09and my children will fly with me,
20:10but my wife, unfortunately,
20:11won't go any more than two feet off the ground
20:13with me at any time.
20:15Any difficult flights so far in your flying career?
20:18No, none that were too difficult.
20:21I've enjoyed every bit of it.
20:23I understand you have a turkey ranch.
20:25That's right.
20:26How many turkeys?
20:2720,000.
20:2820,000.
20:29Well, let's hope that you won't be a turkey
20:30on this program,
20:31that you'll have better luck,
20:32and we will find out if there will be time
20:33to play a game between you two
20:34right after these words.
20:35Turn on, tune in.
20:37Players, we indeed do not have sufficient time
20:40to play a complete round,
20:41so I'll have to ask if both of you
20:42can come back to our next program.
20:43Eni, can you stare yourself away
20:45from your substitute teaching
20:46to play another game?
20:47Be glad to.
20:48Or one game, at least.
20:49And Ivan, how about you?
20:50I'll be back.
20:51Will you be flying in from Merced, California,
20:53or you'll be here?
20:54When you come back,
20:55we will show you the categories we'll be using,
20:56and then we will get right on and play our game.
20:58For those of you who are watching,
20:59we hope you enjoy the joke as well.
21:00Please do join us on our next episode.
21:02Until then, Jack Bear is saying thank you for watching,
21:04and goodbye, everybody.
