00:00From Television City in Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen.
00:21It's The Joker's Wild.
00:23And now here's the host of our show, Jack Berry.
00:30Thank you very much and a very cordy welcome once again to The Joker's Wild, a program where contestants determine their own fate and their own destiny by spinning the category wheels.
00:42Players would get the $500 first, win the game, of course, and we crowned their brand new champion on our last program.
00:47She won herself $500, she won $700, $800 in prizes, decided that she'd go on and play another game, and that meant we have to bring another player out for her.
00:54We didn't have time in the last program, but we do now, so Johnny, introduce the champion and the challenger, if you will.
00:59I will, Jack. Our current champion is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here is Rochelle Oratoff.
01:07And your opponent. He's available for all girls. Let's welcome John Runga.
01:16Hi, players. Nice to have you with us on the program.
01:19Rochelle, on our last program, you won $500.
01:22You spun a few times and won a color TV and a dishwasher and some golf clubs for your husband, who incidentally is sitting right out in the audience again.
01:28Yes, he is.
01:28And he's been encouraging you to go on and play, hasn't he?
01:30Pushing me all the way.
01:31He's pushing you all the way?
01:32Oh, yes.
01:33Really?
01:34Yes.
01:35Well, that doesn't sound too comfortable, doesn't it?
01:38But you have decided you wanted to play, and the player you're playing against is named John Runga.
01:43John, what do you mean you're available for all girls?
01:45Well, I thought I came out to California to have lots of fun, fun son and girls.
01:49And I think any good-looking girl in the audience at home should write care of this show for me.
01:56How do you like that?
01:58Using our show as a classified ad.
02:01Why not?
02:01It's cheaper than $2 a day.
02:04At any rate, if we get any requests, we'll forward them on to you.
02:07Right now, we request that we get on with this game and take a look at the categories that are going to be used.
02:12They are groups and organizations, John Steinbeck, man and wife teams, famous doctors, and hometowns.
02:19Rochelle Oratov, the champion, is risking her $500 to play this game.
02:23It's your spin, Rochelle.
02:24Good luck.
02:28John Steinbeck.
02:29Joker, hometowns.
02:30You've got a pair.
02:32What do you want to do?
02:32I'll try John Steinbeck, please, sir.
02:34$100 question.
02:36Jody, his grandfather, and a cowboy named Billy Buck are central characters in this Steinbeck classic.
02:42Jody's Colt gives the work its title.
02:45What is it?
02:47I'm sorry, Jack.
02:48Would you repeat that one more time, please?
02:49Jody, his grandfather, and a cowboy named Billy Buck are central characters in this Steinbeck classic.
02:54Jody's Colt gives the work its title.
02:56What is it?
02:59I was going to say Tortilla Flat.
03:01I don't know.
03:01No, I'm sorry.
03:01You can pick up $100 here, John, if you can give me the correct answer.
03:06What's my friend Flicka?
03:08No, I'm sorry.
03:09The Red Pony.
03:10The Red Pony.
03:10Oh, well.
03:11No score, but you do get a turn.
03:12John?
03:12Okay.
03:15Joker?
03:16Joker?
03:17Man and wife teams.
03:18A $200 question.
03:21I think I'm going to go for man and wife teams.
03:24Okay.
03:24This royal couple were the joint sovereigns of England, accepting the crown in 1689.
03:29For $200, what are the first names of these rulers?
03:34I think it's William and Mary.
03:36You're right.
03:36For $200.
03:37Very good.
03:38Stay up here at $200, and we'll be back right after these words.
03:41The champion is Rochelle Oratov, but she is trailing right now.
03:47She has no score.
03:47The challenger has $200, but it is your spin, Rochelle.
03:50Well, famous doctor's Joker and a triple.
04:00I'm going to try for the famous doctor's, Jack.
04:02Okay.
04:03This famous doctor's name is associated with pajamas, which have sewn-in feet, and often
04:10a trap door in the rear.
04:12For $200, what is the doctor's name?
04:18Oh, for goodness sakes.
04:20That's not the answer.
04:23I'm sorry.
04:23Time is up, and I'll have to give it to your opponent.
04:25You'll get $200 more if you can give me the doctor's name.
04:28Um, I think, is it Dr. Toddler?
04:36It's Dr. Denton.
04:38Dr. Denton.
04:39You've heard of Dr. Denton.
04:40Those pajamas.
04:41I'm sorry, but you go ahead and put your spin, John.
04:47Hometowns, John Steinbeck, and a Joker.
04:50Uh, I think I'll try Hometowns.
04:52Okay, it's a $100 question.
04:53The king of Dixieland, Al Hurt, was born in a center of early jazz.
04:59What is his hometown?
05:00Uh, I think it's a town in Louisiana, uh, New Orleans.
05:04That's right.
05:04You go to $300.
05:05Very good.
05:07Sure, is he at a $300?
05:09And you're going to have to get charged in here, Rochelle, if you don't want to lose.
05:12Let's see what you get.
05:12Three Jokers are coming right now.
05:13You think so, huh?
05:14Let's see.
05:15Joker, John Steinbeck, and a triple.
05:18Ooh.
05:18I'll stick with John Steinbeck.
05:23$200 question.
05:25In what famous Steinbeck novel would you find the characters George Milton and Lenny Small?
05:32Brother Rat.
05:33Oh, no.
05:35That's not right.
05:36It's a big $200, too, because, John Ranga, you have $300 already.
05:41$200 is at stake.
05:42If you answer correctly, you'll have $500.
05:45You will become the new champion.
05:47For $500, what is the Steinbeck novel?
05:50Of Mice and Men.
05:51Right.
05:52For $500.
05:57Very fast game.
05:58A very swift game, indeed, with John Ranga winning $500.
06:02And in a moment, John will give you a chance to spin for some prizes.
06:05Who knows?
06:05You may spin and a girl may come up.
06:07As for you, Rochelle, you lose the $500, but fortunately, you do take home the colored
06:14TV, the dishwasher, and most of all, those golf clubs you won on our last program for
06:18your husband.
06:19Let's say goodbye to the outgoing champion, Rochelle Orasov.
06:21Thank you very much.
06:26Okay, John.
06:27Incidentally, is it true that your nickname is Rocky?
06:29Yes.
06:30Why do they call you Rocky?
06:31A friend of mine was listening to the Beatles song, Rocky Raccoon, one day as I came into
06:35the room, and he said, hey, there's a natural Rocky.
06:38That's why I call you Rocky.
06:40Great.
06:41Okay.
06:41Okay.
06:42All right.
06:43Do you mind if I call you Rocky?
06:45Go ahead.
06:46I will, Rocky.
06:46Scratch John off the blackboard back there, please.
06:49Make it Rocky.
06:50John.
06:51Okay, we have his name listed on the blackboard here, and it says John, so we'll scratch that
06:54and we'll make it Rocky.
06:55Okay, Rocky, as you know now, you get a chance to spin for some prizes.
06:58Every time three jokers come up, you get a prize.
07:01Whatever the devil comes up, you lose.
07:03I don't think the devil will dare come up in your presents, Rocky.
07:06What's the first prize you'll be spinning for, John?
07:09Jack, it's a jacuzzi whirlpool bath.
07:11You'll love the refreshing feeling of gentle, luxurious water massage in your own home with
07:15your jacuzzi whirlpool bath.
07:17Relax and enjoy it.
07:18All right, three jokers gets it for you.
07:20Let's see what you do.
07:21Good luck.
07:22Here we go.
07:22We have a joker, a joker, a...
07:26I'm sorry.
07:29You don't get the jacuzzi.
07:30Instead, you get a chance to make a decision.
07:33You have $500.
07:34If you want to, you can quit right now, and that is yours.
07:37If you want to go on and take a chance, and if you should win the next two games, you would
07:42break our jackpot, which is mounting.
07:43Right now on our jackpot in cash, we have $3,000.
07:48That would be yours.
07:49And in addition, if you break the jackpot, you would get this magnificent gift.
07:53It's a carload of German precision, Buick's Opel Meta, the new sport coupe imported by
07:59General Motors, sold and serviced by 2,200 Buick dealers, featuring rack and pinion steering,
08:03front disc brakes, reclining bucket seats.
08:07Back to you now, John.
08:09Rocky, excuse me.
08:10Do you quit with your $500, or go ahead and try to break the jackpot?
08:12What are you doing?
08:13He has a decision.
08:22What's your decision?
08:24I want to go for some prizes, so I have to play again.
08:27He's going to play again.
08:28Very good.
08:29We'll find out who his next opponent will be right after these words.
08:35Rocky Ranga says he wants to play again, so to play again, we've got to get a challenger
08:39for him.
08:40Johnny, who's up next?
08:41Jack, our next player, assists her husband, who draws cartoons for Playboy magazine.
08:47Here is Suzanne Orhek.
08:53Suzanne, am I glad to see you.
08:57Rocky, who you're going to play against in just a moment, gave a big classified ad a few
09:01moments ago that he was looking for a girl.
09:04Do you know any of those bunnies or anything like that at Playboy?
09:07I'm afraid that I live in New York, and the bunny stuff is in Chicago, so we do it all
09:12by mail.
09:12Sorry.
09:14You mean you have nothing to recommend for him?
09:17Oh, I have other friends, but they aren't connected with bunnies.
09:21That's okay if they're nice.
09:23You don't care if they're not Playboy girls.
09:25Okay.
09:26And your husband does do some of the cartoons that appear in Playboy.
09:30Yes, he's freelance, so he does for a lot of magazines.
09:32Very good.
09:33Glad to have you with us.
09:35And now, let's see what happens in this game between Rocky Ranga and Susan Orhek, and here
09:40are the categories that will be used.
09:41They are deserts, the five senses, foreign actresses, coaches and managers, famous thoroughfares.
09:48Champion is risking his $500 to play in this game.
09:51It's up to you, Rocky.
09:52Spin and good luck.
09:56Famous thoroughfares, the five senses, foreign actresses, $50 questions.
10:01I think I'd like to try famous thoroughfares.
10:04Okay.
10:05This thoroughfare is considered the center of the advertising district in New York and gives
10:09its name to a style of conservative dress.
10:12Name it.
10:14I think I have it.
10:16I think it's called Madison Avenue.
10:17That's correct, for $50.
10:18Very good.
10:21So, John Orhek, you're up first, Vin.
10:23Good luck.
10:26Five senses, a pair, coaches and managers.
10:31Okay, five senses.
10:33Okay, for $100.
10:34My senses, tell me.
10:35Sometimes called the tympanic membrane, this part of the middle ear vibrates when sound
10:40waves touch it and carries these waves to the other parts of the ear.
10:43For $100, by what more popular name is it known?
10:47The inner ear?
10:49No, I'm sorry.
10:49That isn't correct.
10:51You'll pick up another $100 here, Rocky, if you can give me the name.
10:58The...
10:58Oh, well.
11:00Oh, well?
11:01No.
11:01No.
11:02Now I know.
11:02I'm sorry.
11:03It's the eardrum.
11:04Now I know.
11:04The eardrum.
11:05No score, but it's up to you, Rocky.
11:07Spin and good luck.
11:08That was...
11:09Oh, well.
11:11Famous thoroughfares, coaches and managers, deserts.
11:14Again, it's $50 questions.
11:15I think I'd like to try deserts this time.
11:17Deserts, all right.
11:18What is the largest desert in the world?
11:21Well, I think it's located in Africa.
11:24That would have to be the Sahara.
11:25That's right.
11:26You go to $100.
11:28Suzanne, you're a spin.
11:33Five senses, famous thoroughfares, and a pair.
11:38I'll try famous thoroughfares.
11:40$100 question.
11:41It runs from Ludgate Circus to the Strand, and is the hub of London's newspaper district.
11:47For $100, name this famous thoroughfare.
11:54Downing Street.
11:55No, that isn't correct.
11:56$100 more is yours, Rocky.
11:57What's the answer?
11:59Regent Street.
12:00Nope.
12:01Fleet Street.
12:02Fleet Street.
12:03Score stands, 100 to 0, but it's your spin.
12:05Go ahead, Rocky.
12:07Coaches and managers, Joker, and a triple.
12:11I think I'd like to go off the board on this.
12:19All right.
12:20I must say, you were an unorthodox player, Rocky.
12:24I think I'd like to go for deserts again.
12:29All right.
12:30It's only $50, though.
12:31You know you gave up a $200 question for this.
12:33$50.
12:34Here we go.
12:34The Bactrian camel is sometimes called the ship of the desert.
12:38On what continent did the camel originate?
12:41How about Africa?
12:46How about no?
12:48$50 is yours.
12:50Suzanne?
12:51Well, Asia.
12:52Asia's right.
12:53You pick up $50.
12:54You're good.
12:55100 to 50?
12:57Your spin, Suzanne.
12:58Five senses, deserts, barn actresses.
13:07Five senses.
13:08Okay.
13:08Another $50 question.
13:10The lacrimal glands are necessary to the normal function of the eye.
13:13What is it that the lacrimal glands produce?
13:17Tears.
13:17That's right.
13:18You're a property of the eye.
13:22Used a lot by losers on this program.
13:25Score is tied up 100 to 100.
13:27Rocky, it's your spin.
13:28Thanks.
13:31Famous thoroughfares, five senses.
13:33Again, three single categories.
13:34Um, foreign actresses.
13:38Okay.
13:38Do you know any foreign actresses?
13:40Not personally, but I'd like to meet some.
13:42I thought you would.
13:43There you go.
13:44Name the star of the television series The Avengers, who also starred in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
13:52Her name is Diana Rigg.
13:56Right.
13:56And you go to $150.
13:58Very good.
13:59All right, Suzanne.
13:59Your spin.
14:00Five senses, Joker, and a triple.
14:10How do you play it?
14:11I'll go for it.
14:11All the way.
14:12It's a $200 question.
14:13This is a big one.
14:14This part of the eye is identified as the transparent anterior portion of the eyeball.
14:20For $200, what is it called?
14:22Cornea.
14:23Right.
14:23You go to $300.
14:26Score, $150 to $300.
14:27All right, Rocky.
14:28Three.
14:30Coaches, coaches, famous thoroughfares.
14:33Coaches, managers.
14:34All right, $100 question.
14:36Name the coach of the first professional football team in years to have an undefeated regular season.
14:42That is Don Shuler.
14:44That's right.
14:45You go to $250.
14:47Your spin, Suzanne.
14:51Five senses, thoroughfares, coaches, and manager.
14:56I'll stick with the senses.
14:58All right, five senses again.
15:00The prefix O-T-O refers to which organ of the senses?
15:10Nose.
15:10Nope.
15:11$50 more for you, Rocky.
15:13What's the answer?
15:15O-T-O.
15:16Be your pardon?
15:17Uh, the tongue.
15:18No, I'm sorry.
15:19If you were close, it's right around the corner.
15:20The ear.
15:21For you.
15:23Scores pass 250 to $300, choice, clean Rocky.
15:27Joker.
15:28Joker.
15:29Coach is a manager.
15:33Now what do you do?
15:37Must have a decision.
15:38I think I'm going off the board again.
15:42I'm going for the deserts.
15:45The deserts?
15:46A $100 question.
15:47You're taking both your jokers off, right?
15:49The Mandarin name is Sha Mo.
15:52S-H-A-M-O.
15:53This Asian desert is among the largest in the world.
15:56For $100, name it.
15:57What is the Kalahari?
16:00I just need an answer from you.
16:03Kalahari Desert.
16:04I'm sorry.
16:04That's not right.
16:05$100 more for you if you can tell me the answer.
16:07Suzanne.
16:07Let me have it again, please.
16:08Sure.
16:09The Mandarin name is Sha Mo.
16:11This Asian desert is among the largest in the world.
16:14Name it.
16:17Must have an answer.
16:19I wish I had one.
16:20Sorry.
16:21It's the Gobi.
16:22The Gobi Desert.
16:23Score still stands 250 to $300, but it's your spin, Suzanne.
16:29Deserts, five senses, and a joker.
16:33Five senses?
16:34Okay.
16:34$100 question.
16:35Name the colored circular disc in the eye
16:38which is perforated by the adjustable pupil
16:40and gives us our eye color.
16:43Iris?
16:44That's right.
16:44You go to $400.
16:45There you go.
16:47Score 250 to 400.
16:49We will pick up this game and finish it right after these words.
16:51From Country Time.
16:53Score stands $250 for the champion.
16:56The challenger has $400, however,
16:58and the categories we're using are deserts,
17:00the five senses, foreign actresses,
17:01coaches and managers, and famous thoroughfares.
17:03Rocky, it's pretty rocky going so far.
17:06That's right.
17:06You're going to have to catch up a little bit.
17:07Give them a whirl.
17:08See what you get.
17:10Foreign actresses.
17:12Five senses.
17:12Not too good a pull.
17:16Foreign actresses.
17:17Okay.
17:18You're stuck on that category, aren't you?
17:20In 1961, the Academy Award for Best Actress
17:24went to the Italian star of two women.
17:27Name her.
17:28Who is that beautiful Italian girl?
17:31Sophia Loren.
17:32That's right.
17:32You've got another $250.
17:34You're going to have to bring her back.
17:36Okay.
17:37Your spin, Suzanne.
17:41Thoroughfare, Joker, and Hitler.
17:43I'm going off the board for sure.
17:48You're going off the board, okay.
17:49But let me just think.
17:51This is important for you.
17:53Yes, I know.
17:55Which category do you want?
17:56I guess I just have to stick with the senses.
17:58And you are taking both your jokers?
18:00Yes.
18:01So it's a $100 question.
18:02A very important $100, because if you answer correctly,
18:04you will go to $500, and you will become
18:06the new champion of the Joker's Wild.
18:09Here it is.
18:10The taste buds are only able to distinguish
18:12a small number of tastes.
18:15For $500 and the championship,
18:17how many basic tastes can the buds of the tongue sense?
18:23Two.
18:24Wrong.
18:26You can pick up $100 here, Rocky,
18:27and you'll still be in the game.
18:28How many?
18:29Three.
18:30Wrong.
18:32Four.
18:33Four.
18:34Score stands.
18:34300 to 400.
18:35Rocky, you're still in the game.
18:36Give him a whirl.
18:39Five senses.
18:40Coaches and managers, a bad spin again.
18:43Can't win them all.
18:45I'll go for coaches and managers.
18:48I didn't notice that you won any of them.
18:51You're right.
18:52Here we go.
18:53But you did win the first game.
18:54Okay, here we are.
18:55One of the most successful managers in baseball history,
18:57this colorful skipper of the Yankee organization,
19:00guided his teams to seven World Series,
19:02and then wound up his career as manager of the New York Mets.
19:05Name him.
19:05Who is a great old guy.
19:07So I don't know about the who is.
19:08Oh, I'm sorry.
19:09Wrong show.
19:10That's right.
19:10Casey Stengel.
19:12Casey Stengel is right.
19:13Do you have another 50 dollars?
19:14You're going to appreciate it.
19:18All right.
19:19Suzanne, very important spin coming up for you.
19:23Coaches and managers.
19:24Joker, foreign actresses.
19:26No way I'm going to take coaches and managers,
19:28so I'll take foreign actresses.
19:30Again, same situation.
19:31Answer it correctly.
19:32Finally, you'll have 500 dollars and become the new champion.
19:34Here we are.
19:35Name the French star famed for her unclad roles
19:39in The Devil is a Woman and The Night Heaven Fell
19:43for 500 dollars and the championship.
19:46Bridget Bardot.
19:46Right.
19:47For 500 dollars.
19:56Congratulations, Suzanne.
19:57You've just won 500 dollars and, of course,
19:59a chance to win some lovely prizes.
20:02Rocky, the end is at hand.
20:06However, we don't have any big prizes for you,
20:09but there's a fellow backstage waiting for you.
20:12He has an address book full of phone numbers.
20:14I'll take it.
20:15And some other very, very nice consolation prizes.
20:17I hope this hasn't been too painful for you.
20:19No, it's been fun.
20:20You've enjoyed it?
20:21Right.
20:21If you've enjoyed it, we're happy for you.
20:23Backstage will be those prizes.
20:24Thank you very much for playing our game.
20:26Let's say goodbye to Rocky Ranja.
20:32Yes, Rocky.
20:33And now, once again, we have an opportunity here
20:36to give a young lady some prizes.
20:38Suzanne, perhaps after being on the program here
20:41with Rocky Ranja, you'll have another cartoon idea
20:44for your husband.
20:45Does it suggest anything to you?
20:47I really can't think right now very well.
20:49It might in a couple of days.
20:51I could see a cartoon appearing in Playboy
20:52of a girl and a fellow chasing a girl,
20:54and it will be Rocky Ranja chasing her.
20:56We'll see if we have time to give you your prizes
20:58and spin for your prizes right after these words.
21:00We asked 100...
21:02Suzanne, there is not sufficient time
21:04to spin for your prizes,
21:05so may I impose upon you to come back to our next program?
21:07Certainly.
21:08When you come back, you'll spin for your prizes.
21:10We hope you win thousands of dollars' worth,
21:11and then we'll confront you with that decision
21:13as to whether you go on or quit,
21:14and we'll be looking forward to that all on our next program.
21:17Until then, however, for all of us here on The Joker's Wild,
21:19Jack Barry, thank you for watching the show.
21:21Hope you'll be with us to see if we have a jackpot winner in Suzanne.
21:24Thanks for being with us, and goodbye, everybody.
