00:00From Television City in Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king and lady
00:17luck is queen.
00:18It's The Joker's Wild.
00:19And now, here's the host of our show, Jack Barry.
00:21Thank you very much.
00:22And a very cordial welcome once again to The Joker's Wild, a program where players have
00:36to score $500 in order to become champion, and as you know, we crowned a new champion
00:40on our last program.
00:41But we didn't have a chance to get him to spin for his prizes, which we're gonna do
00:44right now.
00:45But first, here is Johnny Jacobs to introduce the champion.
00:48Okay, Jack, our current champion is often mistaken for TV star Redd Foxx.
00:53Let's welcome Ivan Kennedy.
00:54Hi, Ivan.
00:55Jack, how are you?
00:56Nice to have you back on the program.
01:02Anybody stop you outside and say, hey, are you Redd Foxx?
01:04They darn sure did.
01:05They did again.
01:06Yep.
01:07Happens all the time.
01:08Three of them wanted an autograph, and one remarked that I looked quite a deal like him.
01:11Well, you certainly do get a lot of comment right here in the studio audience, and I'm
01:14sure wherever you walk.
01:15On the last program, you became our champion.
01:17You won $500, and as you know, every champion spins for prizes, so let's do that right now.
01:22You will be spinning, first of all, for this prize.
01:25Johnny?
01:26Jack, for people who are not ashamed of having brains, here are the great books, 443 works
01:30by 74 of the Western world's great authors, the great books of the Western world, the
01:34most superb home library ever assembled.
01:37Those are yours, the three jokers.
01:38The devil loses it for you spinning.
01:40Good luck, Ivan.
01:41Joker.
01:42Joker.
01:43And a joker.
01:44From here on in, you have to take a risk.
01:45Johnny, tell him what the next prize he can take a chance for.
01:52Okay, Jack.
01:53Skyway's great new idea, Skyway outdoor twist luggage on wheels.
01:57Pull, don't carry your luggage for easy traveling.
02:00Skyway luggage on wheels, and to put your new luggage to good use, fly away for a weekend
02:04just for fun in the city by the bay.
02:06You'll spend three days and two nights in one of the world's truly great cities, San
02:10Francisco.
02:11Your stay will include hotel, food, and special tour.
02:14All right, you can have that, but remember if the devil comes up, you lose both gifts.
02:18Do you want to go on or do you want to quit right now?
02:20I think I'll go on.
02:21Want to go on?
02:22Very good.
02:23Spinning, good luck.
02:24You have a joker, a joker, and a joker.
02:25One more prize is yours if you want to take a chance.
02:34What is that prize, Johnny?
02:36Jackets, straddle lounger, low back living room chairs, full size reclining chairs, exclusive
02:41headrests, pops right up, straddle lounger, low back designed for style and comfort, then
02:45relax and enjoy the music with this luxurious Kimbell organ with remarkable new entertainer
02:50feature.
02:51One button and one finger lets you play chords, rhythm, and bass pedals.
02:54Play both hands without lessons from Kimbell Piano and Organ Company, worth over $1,500.
02:59What do you want to do, I mean, do you want to go on or do you want to quit right now?
03:06I'll go on.
03:07He's going on.
03:08All right, spin him and see what happens.
03:09You've got a joker, joker, all the way.
03:10All the prizes are yours.
03:11In just a moment, we'll tell you how much that is.
03:12As a matter of fact, it's $2,447 worth of prizes, and in just a moment, we'll find out
03:23whether you're going to go into another game or not, but first, these words.
03:26At the sack.
03:28Okay, Ivan, you've got yourself $2,447 worth of prizes.
03:33That's yours no matter what happens from here on in, but as you know, you also won $500
03:36in cash.
03:37So you would be in risk.
03:38If you lose the next game, of course, we take that $500 and put it into our jackpot, but
03:41if you should win two more games, you'd break the jackpot and you would take home an additional
03:45$3,000, and in addition, you would ride home in this lovely prize.
03:52It's the 73 Nova, the basic car, rides comfortably and corners flat.
03:56Nova for 73 from Chevrolet.
03:59Up to you right now, Ivan.
04:03You want to quit with what you have or do you want to risk it and play another game?
04:07I'll go on, Jack.
04:08He said, he didn't even hesitate.
04:09He said, I'm going on.
04:10Very good.
04:11Why don't you go on, Ivan Kennedy, and we had told the people on our last program that
04:18in addition to your being a distinguished fellow yourself, your mother was the first
04:21black lawyer in the state of Oregon, a very, very great distinction indeed.
04:25Now let's get on with the game and see whether he can win the second game as we meet the
04:28next challenger.
04:29Jack, our next player has a St. Bernard puppy that weighs 200 pounds.
04:35Here is Lexi Schwartz.
04:36Hi, Lexi.
04:37How are you?
04:38Nice to have you with us on the program.
04:43I'm going to ask you the old joke, where does a 200-pound St. Bernard sit?
04:47And I'll give you the old answer, anywhere he wants.
04:49I bet he does.
04:50What's your dog's name?
04:51Herman.
04:52Herman?
04:53Yes.
04:54Herman, the 200-pound puppy?
04:55Yes.
04:56What a nifty name for a dog.
04:57All right.
04:58Players, before we start the game between the two of you in which Ivan will be risking
05:02$500, let me repeat a rule that a lot of people out at home apparently have misunderstood.
05:06When our buzzer sounds, that does not mean that you cannot answer.
05:09When the buzzer sounds, it means I then, your time is up, and I will call and ask for your
05:14answer.
05:15But you must then give it to me, otherwise it goes to the next player.
05:18Fully understood?
05:19Okay.
05:20I hope that'll answer the question for a lot of people at home who thought that when the
05:22buzzer sounds, your turn was over.
05:24It isn't.
05:25That's when I call for your answer.
05:26Here are the categories we'll be using in the game between you two nice people.
05:29They are famous theaters, songs about the moon, weights and measures, Central America,
05:34and little old ladies.

09:09Okay, you're going all the way, which would bring you to $550 for a correct answer.
09:13But as you know, even if you answer correctly, your opponent does get a final turn.
09:17How many feet are there for $550 in a statute mile?
09:255,280.
09:27That is it for $550.
09:29And now, it all depends on what kind of a spin you can get here.
09:32You must get at least a triple to beat him or three jokers.
09:36Let's see what happens.
09:37If you don't get either of those, Ivan Kennedy will have won his second game.
09:41All right, Lexi, give him a whirl.
09:45Weights and measures.
09:46It's all over, and Ivan Kennedy has won his second straight game.
09:49Congratulations.
09:51Ivan Kennedy has now won himself $1,050.
09:55$1,050.
09:56And in just a moment, he'll get a chance to spin for some more prizes.
09:58Lexi, I'm very sorry that you had such a short stay on the program.
10:01You played very well.
10:02And we're going to send you back now to your St. Bernard puppy.
10:07We hope that you'll enjoy some of the consolation prizes that you received backstage.
10:10That's all the time we have.
10:20Let's all say goodbye to a very nice lady, Lexi Schwartz.
10:22Goodbye, Lexi.
10:26And now, once again, as happens to all champions, it happens once again to Ivan Kennedy.
10:31Already, you have won $2,447 worth of prizes.
10:34And once again, you get a chance to spin for some more.
10:36Johnny, what's the first prize you'll be spinning for this time?
10:38Jack, it's a sharp 17-inch color table television
10:42with preset fine-tuning and automatic color system that locks in the picture.
10:46That's yours for three jokers.
10:47You spin them, and let's see what you get.
10:49You are getting a joker, joker.
10:52Oh!
10:54The devil took the color TV away from you.
10:56However, you still keep the $2,447 worth of prizes you had before.
11:00Now, you have another decision to make.
11:02As you know, there is $3,000 in our jackpot, and, of course, the car is at stake.
11:06But if you did lose the next game, you would lose $1,050.
11:09So, it's entirely up to you.
11:10What do you do right now, Ivan?
11:12Do you go on, or do you quit?
11:14What do you do?
11:15I go on.
11:16You do what?
11:17I go on.
11:18He's going on.
11:19Very good.
11:22I love the way Ivan doesn't hesitate at all.
11:24Most of you know by now, under the rules of our game,
11:26you can go on and keep winning jackpots until you win $25,000 in cash and prizes.
11:31Maybe that's what Ivan has in mind.
11:32Let's find out if he can win the jackpot with this next game as we meet the next player.
11:37Jack, our next player is a part-time ride operator at Disneyland.
11:42Let's meet Bonnie Riley.

11:50What rides do you operate out at Disneyland?
11:52Well, I'm in Frontierland, and I work on both the Haunted Mansion and also the Country Bear Jamboree,
11:57which is a new ride.
11:58Oh, I've been in both of them, especially that haunted house.
12:00That's really terrific.
12:02Yeah, I get scared in there sometimes.
12:04Have any famous people been escorted through there by you?
12:07Yes, last summer I was on the Country Bear Jamboree, and I met Cary Grant,
12:11and I got to take him in the VIP entrance and show him the show.
12:15Too bad you didn't get into the haunted house with Cary Grant.
12:18Nice and dark.
12:20At any rate, we're delighted to have you with us here.
12:22Let's see if you have as interesting a time here as you do out at Disneyland,
12:25where everybody has so much fun.

19:14$100 would make it a tie ball game here. Can you give me the answer, Bonnie?
19:19Over There?
19:21No. You're gonna feel silly now when I say it.
19:24Waltzing Matilda.
19:25Oh, yeah.
19:26Waltzing Matilda. Wait, you remember that?
19:28Okay, but it is your spin, Bonnie.
19:32Australia, Women Writers, and a pair.
19:35Okay. Women Writers for $100.
19:38House on the Strand is one of her latest books.
19:41Earlier classics of this authoress are Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel.
19:45For $100 more, which would make it a tie ball game, what is the last name of this writer?
19:55I'll have to call for it.
19:57Thomas.
19:58I beg your pardon?
19:59Thomas.
20:00Nope. You can end this game right now, Ivan Kennedy, with a right answer which would bring you $9,612 in cash and prizes.
20:11Can you name the author?
20:13Daphne du Maurier.
20:14Right! And you break the jackpot!
20:30Well, that's our winner here on The Joker's Wild.
20:39I want to talk to the Kennedys in just a minute, but first let's say goodbye and some nice consolation prizes for a lovely lady.
20:44Bonnie, thank you for being with us. Let's say goodbye to Bonnie. Bye-bye, Bonnie.

20:53Ivan Kennedy, who has just broken the jackpot and won $9,612 in cash and prizes, has been joined by his lovely wife.
21:01And we are so happy. We have just learned that she is a schoolteacher in the Watts area here in Los Angeles.
21:06And we couldn't be more delighted to award prizes of this magnitude to these two lovely people.
21:11Isn't that just marvelous?
21:12We'll see you on our next program. You can go all the way to $25,000 with a little luck.
