00:00Margo, can you guess this five-letter word beginning with the letter S?
00:18Share. S-H-A-R-E.
00:22Ah, that's not it, but those squares around the letters S and H mean those letters are in the word and in the right position.
00:27The circles around the R and E mean those letters are in the word, but in a different position.
00:32Let's try again.
00:34Shred. S-H-R-E-D.
00:41That's right. Hi, I'm Ralph Andrews.
00:44I'm Margo McKenzie.
00:45And that's how you play television's most challenging game, Lingo!
00:57Hi, and welcome to Lingo, and I know you're all sitting at home saying,
01:09my gosh, Michael Reagan has lost his hair.
01:14Well, now Mike is actually out on the road on a speaking engagement, a speaking tour,
01:20plugging his new book, and I suggest you all look in your bookstores for it,
01:24and we wish him a lot of luck.
01:25And having said that, I want to get on with the game,
01:27and Margo, let's introduce our couples and give them their cards, please.
01:32Our returning champions are Dale and Pam.
01:35You have previous winnings of $6,000.
01:37This is also a special day for you both.
01:45It is their sixth wedding anniversary.
01:47Wow, how about that? How about that?
01:49Six so lucky numbers.
01:52Our challengers are Robin and Evelyn.
01:54They work together in the same office.
01:56Let's get out here.
02:01Well, welcome back to the show, and my gosh, Pam and Dale, six years.
02:05It's wonderful.
02:06I'd sing happy anniversary to you,
02:08but you probably wouldn't get to your seventh year if I did that.
02:11I think we'd like to start the first game.
02:13We can't do that without cards,
02:14so let's give our teams the cards as they were in the Friday game.
02:19Challengers, you will start with your odd number cards.
02:22Here's your card as it stood in the game.
02:24And champs, you have the even number card.
02:27Here's your card as the game as it stood in the game.
02:31Okay, Pam, we'll start with you.
02:33Your first word begins with the letter R.
02:38Ratio, R-A-T-I-O.
02:44Rogue, R-O-G-U-E.
02:47A lot of A's and I's in rogue.
02:49Rapid, R-A-P-I-D.
02:54Uh-huh.
02:56Ranch, R-A-N-C-H.
02:57Rabid, R-A-B-I-D.
03:10Okay, that's two more numbers for your lingo card.
03:12Pam, draw the first number.
03:14Come on.
03:15Come on.
03:17O-62.
03:18Oh.
03:19Now an L-8.
03:20We'll get a number for you.
03:22All right.
03:23L-8.
03:25Well, we're going to go to the bonus board.
03:40First, we have to say goodbye to you, Robin and Evelyn.
03:42I'm sorry you didn't win a lot of money,
03:43but we do have a $250 consolation prize,
03:45and good luck, and thanks for being with us.
03:47You were great to be here.
03:49Well, Pam and Dale,
03:51you're going to go for the $32,000 bonus.
03:54How about that?
03:55And we're going to do that right after this message.
03:57$32,000.
07:03Okay, solve this word, and here's the first two letters of it.
07:08L and E.
07:10Latex.
07:10Sure.
07:11L-A-T-E-X.
07:12Or it could be liter, liter, liter, L-I-T-E-R.
07:17Good guess.
07:18Please be there, please be there.
07:22There you go, good guess.
07:23This is appropriate for $2,000, two balls.
07:29Dale, go first.
07:30No-lingo, no-lingo!
07:31No-lingo, no-lingo!
07:33G, 54, no-lingo!
07:38No-lingo, no-lingo!
07:42For $2,000, L-12, no lingo, no lingo.
07:51Okay, now L-A, for an O-62, we'll lingo you as well.
07:56You want to make it four?
07:59$4,000, the next two letters, please.
08:02An M and an I.
08:04Okay, M-I-G-H-T.
08:08Miser.
08:08Miser.
08:09Miser, M-I-S-E-R.
08:12M-I-N-K-F.
08:19That's good.
08:20That could be real.
08:27Dale, there may have been a little wishful thinking in that guess.
08:30I don't know.
08:31Okay, three numbers this time for $4,000.
08:34For no lingo!
08:37For no lingo!
08:40O-62.
08:42Oh, I'm sorry.
08:49But that's the name of the game.
08:51You took the chance.
08:52We're going to meet some new challengers,
08:54and we're going to be back right after this message.
08:56Don't go away!
08:57Don't go away!
08:57We're going to eat a little bit.
12:06In order to have a brand new game, we have to have some brand new challengers.
12:09Margo, would you introduce our challengers?
12:10Thanks, Ralph.
12:11Our challengers are Kevin and Kirk.
12:13They're old golfing buddies.
12:15And they work together in the same hotel.
12:17Welcome to the game.
12:18All right, and welcome back to our champions.
12:25In order to get this game started, we're going to have to have some cards, so why don't we give them the new card?
12:29Okay, challengers, I'll start with you.
12:31You are playing with the odd number card.
12:34Here's your card, and we'll cover seven spaces for you.
12:38Good luck.
12:39And champions, here's your card.
12:42Here's your card.
12:42Here's your card.
12:42You're going to be playing with the even number card.
12:44Here's your card in the game, and we'll cover seven spaces for you.
12:48Good luck to you, too, both.
12:49Okay, I want to remind you that there's also three red balls in there.
12:52Draw one of those, and you'll lose control.
12:54And there are two jackpot balls in there.
12:56Draw both of those balls, both of those balls, and you will win the jackpot, which is currently at $7,000.
13:04So...
13:04We start each game with the challengers and with the captain.
13:13Kevin, your first word begins with the letter H.
13:19House.
13:19H-O-U-S-E.

13:40Harry, H-A-I-R-Y.
13:42Were you thinking of me when you said that?
13:45Heels.
13:46H-E-L-P-S.
13:50All right, Kevin and Kirk, two numbers for your lingo card.
14:01Kevin, go first.
14:01No red balls!
14:02No red balls!

14:31Windy, W-I-N-D-Y.
14:33Let's try winds, W-I-N-D-S.
14:42It really kind of builds you up for a fall.
14:54You got a roll, you think you're going to get it, and the last word doesn't come in, but you got it.
14:57Okay, two more numbers for your lingo card.
14:59Okay, come on, you guys.
14:59Kirk, go first.
15:00Oh, I go first.

15:10Oh, look how happy Pam is.
15:13Pam, your first word begins with the letter B.
15:18Board, B-O-A-R-D.
15:27Being, B-E-I-N-G.
15:29A lot of A's and R's, isn't it?
15:32Blair, B-L-A-R-E.
15:35Two numbers for your lingo card.
15:46Go ahead.
15:47Go red ball.
15:54Jackpot ball.
15:55That's the first one.
15:56You need two.
15:57Go ahead, draw another one.
15:59Go red ball.
16:00Go red ball.

16:02Woo!
16:07And we've got N-40.
16:12Okay, this is yours, Dale.
16:19The next word begins with the letter P.
16:21Pause.
16:22P-A-U-S-E.
16:24You didn't pause on that one.

17:16I-25.
17:24N-33.
17:29Kirk, Kirk, do me a favor.
17:31Yes?
17:32I mean, this set has been, has lasted now through over 100 shows.
17:35Be very, very careful.
17:36I'm afraid this is going to break.
17:37You were so enthusiastic when you go in here, I thought you were going to break it.
17:40Okay.
17:41And, Kirk, this next word is yours.
17:43The first letter is?
17:44A T.
17:45A T.

19:10Word, be there.
19:12I don't know if our set will survive this,
19:22but you have two more numbers.
19:24Go ahead, Kevin.
19:30Oh, no!
19:32Well, that's the bad news.
19:33The good news is there's only one left in there,
19:36but you'll probably get it.
19:38All right, Pam, we're over to the other team.
19:42Pam, your word begins with the letter F.
19:45Fleas, F-L-E-A-S.

19:58Flats, F-L-A-T-S.
20:05Fleet, F-L-E-A-T.
20:08Ah, I don't think there's such a word.
20:11That means the control goes over here,
20:13and we're going to give you a clue letter,
20:15and this is, uh...
20:17Your turn, Kevin.
20:18There's your clue letter.
20:20Float.
20:21F-L-O-A-T.
20:30Pam, I'm sorry, but...
20:31Fleet is spelt with two E's, and, uh...
20:34Okay, uh, two numbers.
20:36Two numbers.
20:37No red ball, of course, but there's one left in there.
20:40See if you can find the red ball.
20:45Okay, N-35.
20:46Oh, N-41 will give you a lingo.
20:53That's not red ball.
20:54I-27.
20:55Wow.
20:57Now I-21 will give you a lingo.

22:23and we'll be right back. Don't go late.
22:32You know, we've got a lot of mail from parents and teachers
22:44telling us how well their kids play lingo.
22:47Well, that didn't surprise us too much because those of us with kids already know
22:51how well they play. Better than us in many cases.
22:54We decided to give it a try. Let me introduce you now to two new players.
22:58Jordana McLeod and Jessica Jessam.
23:02Jordana, well, let's play a word right now.
