00:00From Television City in Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen.
00:07It's the Joker's Wild, and now here is the host of our show, Jack Barry.
00:12Thank you. Thank you very much and welcome once again to the Joker's Wild.
00:20And while we are climbing in our jackpot right now in the Joker's Wild, in cash is $8,500.
00:25We have an automobile, for anybody who breaks it, close to $11,000, over $11,000,
00:30and cash and prizes for anybody who can do it.
00:32We've got a lady who said in our last program she wants to try,
00:34so let's reintroduce the current champion and the challenger, please, Johnny.
00:38Okay, Jack, our current champion is a teacher and the mother of a three-year-old son.
00:42Meet Janet Fisher.
00:47Her opponent says the only unusual thing about himself is his name.
00:51Here is Al Moten.
00:55Welcome to the Joker's Wild.
00:57Janet, in our last program, you won yourself $500 by getting three Jokers,
01:02and then you went on to win $2,250 worth of prizes.
01:06You then decided you would play on and try to break the jackpot knowing that you could go home
01:10by breaking the jackpot with close to $14,000 in cash and prizes,
01:14but, of course, you have to win two more games to do that.
01:16Are you up to it?
01:17I hope so.
01:18I'm sure you are.
01:19Al Moten, you say there's nothing unusual about you but your name.
01:22Why is Moten such an unusual name?
01:24Well, it's a mispronounced name.
01:25You have to spell it every time you say it almost.
01:27Moten, M-O-T-O-N.
01:29Sounds something like Motown, huh?
01:30Motown, without the W.
01:32Are you teased about your name?
01:33Well, I only tease myself because it's mispronounced so much I have to spell it out.
01:38I wish I didn't have Motown's money, though.
01:41Well, what's in a name?
01:43Here are the categories that will be used in the contest between these two fine players.
01:47They are Famous Toms, Great Battles, Song Lyrics, Medicine, and Nostalgia.
01:53In case you're wondering about Famous Toms, that are people, famous people whose first name is Tom.
01:58All right, you're on your way trying to break that jackpot.
02:00You need this game very, very importantly, Johnna Fisher.
02:02Spin and good luck.
02:05Great Battles, Song Lyrics, and a pair which be played for $100 if you want it.
02:10Song Lyrics, please.
02:11Okay, here we go.
02:12According to the lyrics of this Frank Sinatra hit,
02:15fairy tales can come true.
02:17It can happen to you if you're what?
02:20Young at heart.
02:21Right, for $100.
02:24And, Motown, your first spin. Good luck.
02:28Song Lyrics, Joker, Medicine.
02:32Song Lyrics.
02:33You want it also for $100.
02:35According to the lyrics of this Gene Austen million-seller,
02:38where could you see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
02:42a little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom?
02:51No answer?
02:52All right, Janet, your chance for you to pick up another $100 if you know it.
02:55My Blue Heaven.
02:56That's right, you go to $200.
02:58Score 200-0. We'll pick this game up right after these words.
03:04The champion, Janet Fisher, is leading the score of 200-0.
03:06We found out in our last program, Janet, that you taught English in Lebanon,
03:10and now you teach here. Are you a married lady?
03:13Yes, I am.
03:14Any children?
03:15I have one son.
03:16Very, very nice.
03:17And, Al, where is your home? Where are you from?
03:19Originally from Stockton, California, Central California.
03:23And you, what do you do?
03:24I'm a financial rep for an institution.
03:27You what?
03:28Money business.
03:29You're in the money business?
03:30The money business. Financial business.
03:32How are things in the money business?
03:33Better than now.
03:35Want to lend me a few?
03:37$8,500.
03:38$8,500?
03:39$8,500 you want to lend me?
03:40Is that close enough?
03:42That's what you want to lend me?
03:43I want to get part of it.
03:45Okay.
03:46Part of it.
03:47Let's get back to this game, wasting your valuable time.
03:49The score, 200-0, and Janet, it's yours to bid.
03:54Medicine.
03:55Medicine.
03:56Joker!
04:00Medicine.
04:01You want to play medicine for $200?
04:03Okay, here is the question.
04:05This Greek physician is often referred to as the father of medicine.
04:08He is also reputed to be the author of the Code of Ethics for the medical profession.
04:12For $200 more, which would bring you to $400, name him.
04:15Hippocrates.
04:16Correct, you go to $400.
04:19All right, Al Moten.
04:20Yes, sir.
04:24Joker.
04:25Great battles, and a triple.
04:30Well, I'll have to play great battles.
04:32All right, it's a $200 question.
04:34In what major international conflict were the battles of Heartbreak Ridge and Porkchop Hill fought?
04:41Would you repeat that question again, please?
04:43Yes.
04:44In what major international conflict were the battles of Heartbreak Ridge and Porkchop Hill fought?
04:53The country or the international?
04:55In which it was known there was a certain big conflict that was raging, and there is a specific...
05:02The Korean War.
05:03Correct, the Korean War, that's right.
05:07For $200.
05:08Sure glad you answered that, because I was about to run out of how I was going to explain it to you.
05:12Score of $400 and $200, it's your spin, Janet.
05:17Song lyrics, a pair, nostalgia.
05:21Song lyrics, please.
05:22$100 question.
05:23You'd be to $500, but Al does get a final turn.
05:26Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money, maybe we're ragged and funny, but we'll travel along singing a song.
05:31What is the next line of that well-known song?
05:33Side by Side.
05:34Right, for $500.
05:40Al Moten, under the rules of the game, the only way you could catch her now, and beat her,
05:45would be to get three jokers and answer one question correctly.
05:48Then you would become the new champion.
05:50That's the way she became the champion, incidentally.
05:52Anything short of that, and she would win the game for the second time, and she would have $1,000 in cash.
05:58So, cross your fingers, say a little prayer, and spin.
06:05No, it's all over, and the champion for the second time is Janet Fisher.
06:14Congratulations, Janet.
06:15You now have $1,000 in cash, and in a moment we'll give you a chance again to spin for prizes.
06:20Al, we're sorry you couldn't win, but backstage there will be some going-away prizes for you.
06:24Thank you very much for playing the game.
06:25Thank you, Jack.
06:26Let's say goodbye to Al Moten.
06:27Goodbye, Al.
06:31Okay, Janet, this happened to you once before, and it's happening again.
06:34You're going to get some chances to spin for surprises.
06:36Johnny, what's the first prize for which you'll be spinning?
06:39Virtually indestructible molded polystyrene arms, deep luxurious cushioning, and stain-resistant frames
06:45are combined in this contemporary Mediterranean group by The Hunting Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
06:50That's yours for three jokers, spin and good luck.
06:54You have a joker, joker, joker.
06:59That's prize number one.
07:00From here on in, you take a risk as we show you prize number two.
07:03From Jack LaLanne Health Spas, a family fitness center including a muscle-toning, strength-building fitness king,
07:09an exercise bicycle, and belt vibrator, and a supply of reduced plan for weight control from Jack LaLanne Health Spas.
07:17Now, it's up to you.
07:18Do you want to quit with your first prize or take a chance and go on for the second?
07:23Jack LaLanne! Jack LaLanne! Jack LaLanne!
07:28That's you.
07:29I think I can stand to lose a few pounds, so I'll try.
07:32She'll try to lose a few pounds with Jack LaLanne.
07:34All right, spin and good luck.
07:36You have a joker, a joker, a joker.
07:43And now, I think you might be tempted by your third and final prize.
07:49From Los Angeles, we will fly you to Latin America, city of the canal.
07:53You'll spend five days exploring the many facets of this Central American wonderland and tour the locks and waterways of the canal zone.
08:00And we're sure this will come in handy.
08:02Spacious, roomy luggage by American Tourister, designed to go everywhere.
08:10Now, it's up to you.
08:11Do you quit with the two prizes you have or take a risk and go to Panama?
08:15What do you do?
08:19What will it be, Janet?
08:21Let's hear what she says.
08:23I need to practice my Spanish. I'd like to try.
08:26All right. Here's the big one.
08:29All set. Let's go.
08:32Joker.
08:36There's the devil. I'm very, very sorry.
08:39However, you had won $2,250 worth of prizes in the last game and no one's going to take that away from you in just a moment.
08:45We'll find out whether you're going to risk and try to break our jackpot.
08:49Think about it. First, this message.
08:51Where do you go from here?
08:53And now for a very, very important decision from Janet Fisher.
08:57Janet, you have $1,000 in cash.
09:00If you go on and lose the next game, you lose the $1,000.
09:03If you go on, however, and win just one more game, you would break the jackpot.
09:08And the jackpot is $8,500 in cash.
09:12$8,500 in cash.
09:15In addition, you would take home with you this lovely gift.
09:19A carload of German precision.
09:21Buick's Opel Mazda.
09:23The new sport coupe imported by General Motors.
09:25Sold in service by 2,200 Buick dealers.
09:27Featuring rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, and reclining bucket seats.
09:34Janet Fisher, I point out to you that if you win the next game,
09:38you would go home with $15,000 in cash and prizes.
09:43But it is your decision. Do you quit or go on?
09:56What do you think, Janet?
09:58Let's hear what the lady has to say.
10:00Just a second ago, the devil frightened me, but I'm going to try anyway.
10:04You're going to try anyway.
10:06A lady with a lot of spirit, trying now to become one of the top money winners on this program.
10:13The highest amount I think has been won is $17,000 some odd.
10:16This would be the second or third amount.
10:18$15,000 in cash and prizes.
10:20Can she do it? We'll find out as we meet our next player.
10:24Well, Jack, our next player is called Missouri Fats by his friends and enemies.
10:29Let's welcome Ed Birmingham.
10:32Hey, Ed, nice to have you here on The Joker's Wild.
10:35Glad to be here.
10:36Why do they call you Missouri Fats?
10:38Well, Minnesota's taken.
10:40But you don't, Minnesota Fats is a great big guy. You're not looked so big to me.
10:45Well, I weigh 280, and...
10:47You do now?
10:48Yeah.
10:49Sure don't look it to me.
10:51I play some pool.
10:53And that's why they call you Missouri Fats?
10:56Some people do.
10:57I understand you were a college football player. What did you play?
11:00At Missouri, I played linebacker.
11:02Linebacker.
11:04Anybody here in the audience from Missouri? Is that what that was for? Really?
11:07They're too young to remember when I was there.
11:09Ah, that may be, but they're rooting for you anyway.
11:12At any rate, this is a very big game now.
11:14She's risking $1,000 to try to break the jackpot and take home $15,000.
11:18You're going to try to stop her, of course.
11:20Let's see as we show you the categories.
11:22They are famous blondes, British terminology, food and drink,
11:27Damon Runyon, movie musicals.
11:30Play very, very carefully, Janet Fisher.

20:09ladies and gentlemen.
20:10A very, very happy lady indeed.
20:11She said,
20:12someone will just have
20:13to take me off the stage.
20:14I can't manage on my own.
20:15And so we did.
20:16And she leaves
20:17with money
20:18and prizes
20:19and lots of goodwill
20:20from us
20:21and good wishes.
20:22She played very, very well
20:23and certainly deserved
20:24to win the money
20:25and the prizes.
20:26And that's how it is.
20:27As in life itself,
20:28some win, some lose.
20:29She's one of the winners.
