00:00Summertime's back.
00:02It's Peter Mini Magic, tomorrow on First Edition.
00:10Why can't a Rocky Mountain Canary sing?
00:13You'll find out as one of these three contestants
00:16wins the chance to drive home
00:19in this brand new Pontiac Fiero GT
00:22in just a split second.
00:25And now, here's the star of our show,
00:29Monty Hall!
00:36Thank you very much, and welcome to Split Second.
00:38You people at home, how are you doing
00:39at all these questions that we ask?
00:41Are you answering one out of three, two out of three?
00:43Are you really brilliant to get three out of three each time?
00:46Well, test yourself against these folks here today
00:48who are going to be playing with us.
00:49But before we do, how did you do on the first question?
00:52It was a trick one.
00:53Why can't a Rocky Mountain Canary sing?
00:56Are you ready for this?
00:56Because a Rocky Mountain Canary isn't a canary at all.
00:59It's a donkey.
01:00Donkeys don't sing.
01:01They bray a lot, but they don't sing.
01:03Ellen is our returning champion, Ellen Jacobson,
01:05who in a very, very close and exciting race,
01:08our last show,
01:09all three people to count on around
01:10moved right down to needing just one answer each to win.
01:14And Ellen is the one who got in.
01:15They left the door open,
01:16and she shut it on them.
01:17And Ellen is our volunteer for the Heart Association,
01:22a substitute teacher,
01:23and a sometime piano teacher.
01:26And is there a system that you use in piano teaching?
01:29Any system that works, I use it.
01:31Because what is the Japanese system that they use
01:34that's supposed to be very fast in teaching kids?
01:37I just use the system that I was taught when I was a kid,
01:39so that's the old-fashioned system, I guess.
01:41The Beethoven system, right?
01:42No, I was thinking, there's a new system
01:44they say they teach kids to play
01:45inside of a week that kids are playing.
01:47Wow.
01:47How long does it take you to teach a child
01:49to play, uh, for release, for example?
01:52Depends on the child.
01:53Uh-huh.
01:54Well, you ask a question, don't get an answer.
01:56That's what I always say.
01:57Two new opponents for you, and let's meet them.
01:59Monty, our first challenger is a man
02:01who's been boning up for his appearance on today's show
02:03by playing against Mr. Game Show
02:06at his toy stores, John Messer.
02:09And on your right, a lady who counsels firms
02:13on how to stay firm, Debbie Featherman.
02:20Alan, John, and Debbie, a quick reminder
02:22of how we play our game.
02:23Each one of the questions comes with three answers.
02:25You have to answer one each, and when you do,
02:28you'll get $10 each.
02:29If two of you come up with the answer
02:30and the third one doesn't, it's $25 to the two of you,
02:33but if only one person answers a part of the question,
02:35it's $50 to that person in the first round.
02:37Don't answer.
02:38Answer the question until you see the full question
02:40on the screen, or you'll be penalized
02:41and have to go last.
02:43All right, you like trick questions?
02:44We've got one for you.
02:45The writers are going to try and trick you
02:46with these questions.
02:48Read these three questions carefully and answer them.
02:51Look at the screen.
02:53Can a man legally wet his widow's sister?
02:54How many months have 28 days in them?
02:56How much dirt and hole two by two?
02:59And John?
03:0012 months have 28 days in them.
03:0212 months have 28 days.
03:03Of course, each one of them has.
03:04Everybody's thinking about February,
03:06but really all of them have a minimum of 28.
03:08Debbie?
03:09Can a man marry his widow's sister?
03:11Yes.
03:12No, he can't.
03:13He's dead.
03:14Oh.
03:15Ellen?
03:17There's no dirt and hole.
03:18If it's a hole, there's nothing in it.
03:19That's exactly right.
03:20So the trick questions work only on one person.
03:22The other two were too smart.
03:25And Ellen and John get $25 each.
03:27There were so many wonderful movies made during the 50s
03:29that it's hard to remember which ones won the Oscar
03:31as the best film.
03:32But I want you to try.
03:34Pick the Oscar winner in each group of nominated movies.
03:37Here are the groups of movies,
03:38and you tell me which one of those won the Oscar.
03:40You people at home, which one won the Oscar?
03:42Ellen?
03:431950, All About Eve won.
03:45All About Eve won in 1950.
03:47That's right.
03:48John?
03:49I don't know.
03:5253, Shane.
03:54No, From Here to Eternity.
03:55It was just a matter of a guess.
03:56John, Cat on a Hot Hand Roof, or Gigi?
03:57It was Gigi.
03:58And so Ellen gets $50.
04:03Dogs live in kennels.
04:04Fish live in aquariums.
04:05And here are names for three other animal homes.
04:07Pick one and tell me what animals live there.
04:09Look at the screen.
04:11Who lives in an aviary, a vespiary, and an apiary?
04:13Debbie?
04:14Aviary birds.
04:15Right, John?
04:16Vespiary cats.
04:17No, Ellen.
04:19Apiary.
04:21Bees and vespiary wasps.
04:24And so Debbie gets $50.
04:29Remember these good old songs?
04:30I'll give you the name of a singer or group,
04:32and the first word of a song title became a big hit record for them.
04:35You pick one and name that song.
04:37Look at the screen.
04:38Simon and Garfunkel, Tony Lando and Don, Barbara Streisand.
04:41With clues, Ellen?
04:43Barbara Streisand, The Way We Were.
04:44The Way We Were.
04:45John?
04:45Reach over troubled waters.
04:47And Debbie?
04:47Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.
04:49Wasn't that an easy one?
04:50Ten dollars each.
04:55Now, imagine that you're in Ecuador, standing on the equator.
04:58Are the following countries north or south of where you're standing?
05:02Look at the screen.
05:04Panama, Venezuela, and Peru.
05:05Ellen?
05:06Venezuela, south.
05:07Venezuela, north.
05:08John?
05:09Panama, north.
05:10Panama, north.
05:10Correct.
05:11Debbie?
05:12Peru, south.
05:14That is correct.
05:15And John and Debbie, $25 each.
05:19Well, if I were going to talk to you about famous pairs,
05:21I guess I'd have to go all the way back to Adam and Eve, wouldn't I?
05:24Now, I'll give you the first part of a famous pair of names,
05:26and you give me the second part.
05:27Look at the screen.
05:28Louis, Hero, Ferdinand.
05:31You name the other half.
05:32Ellen?
05:32Ferdinand and Magellan?
05:33No, I'm sorry.
05:34That's his real name.
05:35It's a pair we're looking for.
05:36Debbie?
05:37Lewis and Martin?
05:38No.
05:39Wrong famous pairs right over there.
05:41Now, I'm going to ask our production crew to look into that one.
05:44Lewis and Martin.
05:45John?
05:46Lewis and Clark.
05:46Lewis and Clark is the one we're looking for.
05:48Hero and Leander is the other one.
05:50But Lewis and Martin, famous names.
05:52Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin.
05:54I think we have to accept that, too.
05:56Yes, you're absolutely right.
05:57So, John and Debbie will both get $25 each.
06:02By golly, if we look into it, we'll find that there were a lot of Lewises and a lot of partners.
06:07We won't ask that question again, will we?
06:08Unless we say explorers.
06:10All right, now let's go to television.
06:13Television wouldn't be television without a special to celebrate Howdy Doody's 40th birthday.
06:1740th birthday?
06:18The special aptly called Howdy Doody's 40th birthday will bring back some old friends.
06:22Let's see how well you remember them.
06:24Look at the screen.
06:24Can you remember the name of the clown and the name of the princess and the name of the place where the audience sits?
06:29John?
06:30Even the princess, Diana.
06:32Oh, no, Debbie.
06:33Name of the clown, Clarabelle.
06:35Clarabelle is the clown.
06:36Ellen?
06:36The peanut gallery?
06:37That's where the audience sat.
06:38And the name of the princess was Princess Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring.
06:41And so, Ellen and Debbie, I believe.
06:43Didn't Ellen get part of that question?
06:44Yes, Ellen and Debbie get $25 each.
06:46The fabulous book, The Arabian Nights, introduced us to some unforgettable events and characters.
06:55Here are three events.
06:56You name the character that each refers to.
06:58Look at the screen.
06:59Who found the magic lamp?
07:00Who said, open sesame?
07:01And who told 1,001 stories?
07:03John?
07:04Ali Baba said, open sesame.
07:06That's right.
07:06Debbie?
07:07Aladdin found the lamp.
07:08Right.
07:09And who told 1,001 stories, Ellen?
07:13The answer here says Scheherazade, but I think it's my kids when they came home late.
07:17John and Debbie are going to get $25 each in that question.
07:23The 1984 Summer Olympics were held in the United States.
07:26I'll give you some other summer and winter Olympic dates.
07:28You pick one and tell me what country it was or will be held in.
07:31Look at the screen.
07:33The 1984 Winter Olympics.
07:34The 88 Summer Olympics still to come.
07:37The 88 Winter Olympics still to come.
07:38John?
07:39Calgary for the 88 Winter Olympics.
07:40That's right.
07:41Ellen?
07:42I wanted the country, so...
07:44Oh, I'm sorry.
07:44Canada.
07:44I'm sure you knew that.
07:45Ellen?
07:461984 Winter, um...
07:49Debbie?
07:511984 Winter, uh, the U.S.
07:54No, it was Yugoslavia, and the Summer Olympics is going to be held in Korea.
07:57And so, John, you picked up a fast 50 there.
08:02So, if we take a look at the score at the end of the first round,
08:04John and Debbie are tied for first.
08:06Ellen right behind them.
08:06We double the stakes in round two.
08:08It's going to be a close race.

09:56People can't see the difference between clothes washed in ABC
09:59versus a leading higher-priced detergent.
10:01I can't see the difference.
10:04Is there a difference?
10:05Price is the difference.
10:08With ABC, you can save up to 20%
10:10and still get your whole wash clean and white.
10:13I can't see the difference.
10:15Why pay more by ABC.

10:50Let's meet John and Debbie now.
10:59John, you practice for the show by...
11:02What is it at a toy store?
11:03What did you play?
11:04It's called Mr. Game Show.
11:05It's fashion after your likeness.
11:07Really?
11:08I didn't get a nickel royalty on the whole thing.
11:10What is this Mr. Game Show?
11:11What is it?
11:11It's a toy doll that talks and it hosts a game show
11:14and you play against it just like this.
11:16No kidding.
11:17It winds it up and goes home and Mama doesn't make it dinner.
11:19That's right.
11:22Inside joke.
11:23All right.
11:24John, is it an expensive toy?
11:26Did anybody play it?
11:27Well, the electronic dolls are really becoming hot items now
11:29and it's just another one in their line.
11:31And they tell me that it might take your place.
11:35In that case, I will talk like this.
11:38Welcome to the show.
11:40Now, you tell firms how to keep firm.
11:43Yes, I do.
11:43I go out to large corporations and sell a weight loss counseling program
11:48to the companies as a health program.
11:50I just thought of something.
11:52You tell large corporations how to lose their large corporations.
11:56More or less, yes.
11:58Right?
11:59You know, the Japanese, we were talking before about Japanese,
12:02but the Japanese have invented that system a long time ago.
12:05They have people come into their plants and give them physical exercise
12:07first thing in the morning.
12:08Yes, the health program.
12:09Yeah, well, hopefully we will follow in their footsteps.
12:11I don't think you'll ever get it across from this side of the water.
12:14People don't want to be regimented over here that much.
12:17Well, I hope so, because that's how I make my living.
12:18Oh, yes.
12:19You'll want to get...
12:20Definitely.
12:20The first thing in the morning, folks, to help Debbie make a living.
12:23We're going to help you make a living now in round two.
12:29Simply by doubling the stakes in round two, you can make more money,
12:32and it's a close race right now.
12:33This time, if all three of you write in a question, $20 each, $50 for two,
12:38one for only one answer in that question.
12:39Here we go.
12:40The seven wonders of the ancient world were great works of art and architecture,
12:44and many of them include in their names the place where they were erected.
12:47Here are three of these ancient wonders.
12:49Pick one and tell me where they are or were found.
12:52Look at the screen.
12:54The pyramids, the colossus, the hanging gardens.
12:59Egypt for the pyramids.
13:00Pyramids of Egypt, right.
13:01Debbie?
13:01Hanging gardens of Babylon?
13:03Right.
13:03And Ellen, the colossus of...
13:05The colossus of Rome?
13:06No, not Rome.
13:07Roads.
13:07Roads.
13:07Roads.
13:08And so John and Debbie will get $50 each.
13:13Boating.
13:14Boating has been a big deal in the world for ages,
13:16so tell me what these boats are called.
13:17Look at the screen.
13:18What are they called?
13:19The Venetian Canal boat, the Eskimo boat,
13:21the boat with two parallel hulls, John?
13:23Catamaran for the third one.
13:24Yeah, Debbie.
13:25Eskimo boat is a kayak.
13:26Right.
13:26Ellen?
13:27Canal boat is a gondola.
13:28A gondola.
13:28All three correct.
13:29All three get $20.
13:33And what's the one that they put a lot of sauce in?
13:35What's that called?
13:36Come on, just for fun.
13:37That's a gravy boat.
13:38Okay.
13:39All right.
13:40And I don't get a nickel for that either.
13:42Time to say cheese.
13:43There are about 400 kinds of cheese with over 800 names.
13:47These are three of the better known ones.
13:48Name the countries where they were first made.
13:50Look at the screen.
13:50The countries where cheddar was first made.
13:53Gruyere and camembert.
13:54Ellen?
13:56Camembert in France.
13:58Good.
13:58John?
13:59Cheddar in England.
14:01Yes.
14:01Debbie?
14:01Gruyere in Switzerland.
14:02All three know your cheeses.
14:04And all three get $20.
14:07If you know what time it is,
14:09you'll know the answer to these questions
14:10because every answer requires a time of day.
14:12Look at the screen.
14:14The Oscar movie with Hoffman,
14:15Count Basie's theme song,
14:16and a movie for Gary Cooper.
14:18And you've got to tell me what time it is.
14:20John?
14:21Count Basie's theme song was 12 noon.
14:24No, it wasn't, Debbie.
14:26Hoffman and Voight, Midnight.
14:28Yes.
14:28And can you give me the whole...
14:30Midnight Cowboy.
14:31Good.
14:31All right.
14:32And Ellen?
14:32Uh, Gary Cooper, that would be High Noon.
14:34High Noon, and Count Basie's theme song
14:36is One O'Clock Jump.
14:37And so Ellen and Debbie will get $50 each.
14:43A favorite word in the title of books and songs
14:45and movies and plays is the word moon.
14:48So pick a moon title and name the person involved.
14:50Look at the screen.
14:51The star of Moonraker,
14:53the author of The Moon and Sexpence,
14:54the composer of Moonlight Sonata.
14:55Debbie?
14:56Star of Moonraker...
15:00John?
15:02Moonlight Sonata...
15:04Brahms.
15:05Ellen?
15:06That would be Beethoven.
15:06Beethoven and The Moon and Sexpence,
15:08a Somerset Maugham.
15:08Ellen and Debbie, $50 each.
15:13Oh, it's a close race.
15:15Great cities were often founded on great rivers,
15:17so I'll name three cities.
15:18You pick one and name the river that it's on.
15:19Look at the screen.
15:21What river is the Cairo, the Leningrad,
15:22and the Vienna rivers on Ellen?
15:24Cairo on the Nile.
15:25Cairo, the answer is the Nile River.

15:29The Danube.
15:29John?
15:30Leningrad, the Moscow River.
15:31The Neva River.
15:33Ellen and Debbie, $50 each.
15:38All science classes teach us some basic facts
15:40about the world we live in.
15:42So answer these three popular science questions.
15:45Look at the screen.
15:46What's that green stuff in plants and leaves?
15:48What is the lightest element?
15:49Combining atoms in a hydrogen bomb.
15:51What is that called?
15:52John?
15:52The lightest element is hydrogen.
15:54Correct.
15:55Ellen?
15:55The green stuff in plants and leaves...
15:57Um...
15:58I can't...
16:01Debbie?
16:03The green stuff, Debbie?
16:05I have no idea.
16:05It's chlorophyll.
16:06Chlorophyll.
16:07And combining atoms in a hydrogen bomb is fusion.
16:09Fusion.
16:10John will pick up $100.
16:11And now, with $100, we're in to second place.
16:15If comedy is your bag, you're in for a lot of laughs this season.
16:18I'm going to give you the names of three stars of current primetime situation comedies.
16:22You pick one of these stars.
16:23Name the series.
16:24Look at the screen.
16:25What screen is Hessman in?
16:27Anderson and Fox.
16:28Ellen?
16:28Michael Fox, Family Ties.
16:30John?
16:30Howard Hessman, Three's Company.
16:34Debbie?
16:34Harry Anderson, Night Court.
16:36Great.
16:36And Howard Hessman, head of the class.
16:37Ellen and Debbie.
16:38$50 each.
16:40What a close seesaw battle this is.
16:43To read the newspapers today, you have to know what various initials stand for.
16:46Here are three sets of initials of U.S. government agencies that are in the news.
16:50Pick one and tell me what the initials stand for.
16:52Look at the screen.
16:53What does FDA stand for?
16:55N-S-C-I-N-S.
16:56Debbie?
16:58FDA?
17:00Federal?
17:02Wrong.
17:03John?
17:03Food and Drug Administration.
17:04Food and Drug Administration is right.
17:06Ellen?
17:06N-S-C, National Security Council.
17:08That's right.
17:09And I-N-S, Immigration and Naturalization Service.
17:11So Ellen and John, I believe, are going to get $50 each.
17:16This race is too close to call.
17:18We have a habit of calling great musical artists by their last names.
17:21But honestly, folks, they do have first names.
17:23So give me the first name of these great composers.
17:25Take a look.
17:27Verdi, Liszt, and Chopin.
17:29And Ellen, you're buzzing in too fast, and you're getting bombed out every time.
17:32All right.
17:32Now, John, you're first.
17:34Chopin was, um...
17:37How about you, Debbie?
17:39Franz Liszt.
17:40Franz Liszt is right.
17:41Ellen?
17:41Friedrich Chopin.
17:42Friedrich Chopin and Giuseppe Verdi.
17:44Even though you have to go last each time, you've managed to come up with an answer each time.
17:47At the end of this marvelous second round, look at that score.
17:50$50 up rates first and second is second and third.
17:54Debbie is first.
17:55Ellen is second.
17:55John third.
17:56And what a race the countdown round is going to be.
17:58I'm telling you, it's the biggest story to ever hit, Corner Bird.
18:11I can see the headline now.
18:13Wendy's Back Bacon Special, just $1.69.
18:16Of course I'm serious.
18:17Listen, here's the lead-in.
18:18She toasts the burger bun, grills a fresh ground beef patty, then processed cheese.
18:22Then get this.
18:23Two slices of Canadian back bacon brushed with barbecue sauce and topped off with mayo.
18:27Oh, that's right, back bacon, yeah.
18:29But we gotta move fast.
18:30This deal's for a short time only.
18:31Right, gotta run.
18:32Just $1.69 for a limited time only.
18:35Wendy's Back Bacon Special.
18:37Cause that's Wendy's way.

20:52Because look how close they were at the end of the second round.
20:55And, of course, that amount of money that they have determines who's going to have the edge.
20:58In this countdown round that determines who goes for that beautiful car,
21:02as Cheryl is showing us, when you hear the question, you may now buzz in.
21:05And if you're first, you can answer one, two, or all three parts of the question.
21:08Of course, you can answer as many as are left after that, too.
21:11Every time you give me a correct answer, you count down one.
21:13The first is zero, is the winner.
21:15Where do you start from?
21:16Debbie, you had the most money.
21:17You'll have the least amount of questions to answer.
21:18You need four answers before the others to win.
21:21Ellen needs five answers before the others to win.
21:24John needs six to make a comeback from last place.
21:26But that's where Ellen was in our last game, and she came from third place to win.
21:29So if you're ready, here we go in the countdown round.
21:31In the early 50s, three king ships changed hands.
21:35Here are the facts.
21:35You tell me in what country the changing of the kings took place.
21:38The country.
21:39Look at the screen.
21:40King Leopold advocates.
21:42Gustavo succeeds.
21:43Daughter succeeds.
21:44Name the country, John.
21:45Gustavo succeeds with Spain.
21:47Wrong.
21:48Debbie.
21:48Daughter succeeds England.
21:50Continue.
21:52King Leopold...
21:53Greece?
21:55Nope.
21:55The door's open for Ellen.
21:58No.
21:58King Leopold advocates Belgium.
22:00Gustavo succeeds the throne in Sweden.
22:02Ellen needs five.
22:03John, six.
22:04Debbie, three.
22:05Some names have been immortalized in verse, both light and serious verse.
22:09Here are three of those poems.
22:10You name the famous poets who wrote them.
22:12Look at the screen.
22:14Annabelle Lee, Gungadin, Father William.
22:16Ellen, you're in.
22:17Annabelle Lee, Edgar Allan Poe.
22:18That's right.
22:19Continue.
22:22Gungadin, um...
22:24Time is up.
22:25Is it up?
22:25She got it under the wire.
22:26Continue.
22:28Father William, I don't know.
22:29All right.

22:38Debbie needs three.
22:39John still needs six.
22:40In the very old historic days, slavery has a way of life, or it was a way of life.
22:44However, some slaves achieved great fame.
22:46I'll describe three of these slaves.
22:48You name them.
22:48Look at the screen.
22:49There was the biblical hero sold by his brothers, the Greek slave credited with fables, and the
22:54Roman gladiator who led the slave revolt.
22:56John?
22:58Nero for the third one.
22:59Sorry.
23:00Debbie?
23:01I have no idea.
23:02Doors open for Ellen.
23:03Biblical.
23:04Hero would be Joseph.
23:05Joseph was sold by his brothers.
23:07Continue.
23:08Roman gladiator...
23:10Ben-Hur.
23:10Oh, I'm sorry.
23:11The Greek slave credited with fables was Aesop, Aesop Fables, and the Roman gladiator was
23:16Spartacus, also known as Kirk Douglas.
23:18All right.
23:19Ellen needs two.
23:19Debbie needs three.
23:21Only two women and one man have won not only an Oscar, but the Emmy, Tony, and Grammy
23:25awards as well.
23:26Here's information on each one of these wonderful, talented people.
23:29Name that person.
23:30Look at the screen.
23:30The composer of Oklahoma, the mother of James MacArthur, and the one they Oscar for West
23:34Side Story, John?
23:36West Side Story was, um, Patricia...
23:40That is not right.
23:41Ellen needs two.
23:42Mother of actor James MacArthur, Helen Hayes.
23:44Ellen needs one.
23:46Composer of Oklahoma, Richard Rogers.
23:49You've got another championship.
23:57And the lovely, talented lady in West Side Story, now this is Rita Moran.
24:01And so Ellen wins another championship.
24:03John and Debbie, I knew it was going to be a good fight today.
24:06Thank you so much.
24:07My best regards to your little, uh, crucial man, back in the Coastal.
24:11Nice to meet you.
24:12And Debbie, uh, we thank you so much for keeping everybody fit.
24:15Debbie has 500, John 400.
24:16Ellen is going to try for the car again.
24:19So come with me, Ellen.
24:27Waterproof mascara is smart.
24:28But a waterproof mascara that actually thickens lashes.
24:32Ah, beautiful.
24:34At long last, ultra-thick, ultra-lash mascara.
24:39Maybelline, is that you?
24:41Waterproof, smudge-proof.
24:43Ah, blood thickens.
24:44Now even thick lashes won't melt.
24:47When my heart does.
24:48Brand new, ultra-thick, ultra-lash.
24:50The lash of luxury.
24:52Smart.
24:53Beautiful.
24:53Maybelline.
24:57Could you imagine anything more exciting?
25:07Could you dream of anything more thrilling?
25:10Could you experience anything more touching?
25:20Could you ever spend a happier day?
25:23A wiener.
25:24The reason J.M.
25:28Schneider's customers have such confidence in our wieners is because they never have to guess what goes in them.
25:34Mothers know today, what they knew back then, that Schneider's uses only quality cuts of beef and pork.
25:40No meat byproducts.
25:41And as in J.M.'s day, if you compare a few labels, you'll never find the words may contain on any packages of Schneider's meats.
25:49Think about it.
25:50Which wiener would you rather serve your family?
25:53At Schneider's, you can still taste the difference quality makes.
25:57He's the man everyone's been talking about.
