01:24what funny looking is
01:26and leah's challenger a freelance photographer daniel avila
01:32all right leah stern daniel avila welcome back to both of you a quick explanation to break the bank
01:40here is what a typical board might look like
01:42all the same denominations of money are clustered together the three one hundred dollar boxes touch each other along one of the sides so do the three two hundred dollar boxes and the three three hundred dollar boxes each touching the other along one of the sides now the five money bags are scattered all over the wild boxes anywhere can be used for any value get three of the same and you win get three money bags and you break the bank which today is at seven thousand five hundred dollar
02:12thank you
02:14said
02:16when we when our show ended yesterday our game was interrupted and here is what the exposed portions of that board looked like
02:24like. Leah has two boards, pardon me, two boxes, one $300 box and the wild box, and
02:30Daniel Avila has a $100 box, and Leah was in control, and that's where we're going to
02:35start up today. And now, Leah, remember, for every question used, you will hear two answers
02:40from our celebrities. One of them will be a correct answer, and the other will be a mislead.
02:44It's up to you to pick the right one. So now pick a box, and good luck to you. You could
02:47win the game with your next pick. I think the $300 will be under $12. She's looking
02:52for the $300, and if she finds it, she could indeed win the game. Let's see, box number
02:5612. Sorry about that. Daniel Avila, back to you. Okay, I'll go to number five, please.
03:03Number five, he says. Could we see box number five? He found another $100 box, and that is
03:09connected to Lonnie Shore and Elaine Boosler. Hey, Lonnie, according to the book Your Legal
03:15Advisor, what should you get as soon as you are served with divorce papers? A season pass
03:20to a massage parlor. That's the first thing you get. As soon as you get a divorce, a lawyer.
03:28Uh-huh. Elaine Boosler. What was the question? It says, according to the book, huh? I was
03:34listening to you. According to the book, Your Legal Advisor, what should you get as soon as
03:38you are served with divorce papers? A girlfriend. Girlfriend? All right. Is it, uh, Daniel, is it
03:44a lawyer or a girlfriend? I think I'll go with the lawyer. You're right. You go with
03:47the lawyer. All right. You now have two $100 boxes. Which box? I'll try number 10. Number
03:5610. If this is the third $100 box, you could win the game. Could we see box number 10? It
04:00is a $100. All right. That is connected to Lonnie Shore and to Craig Stevens. And if you get
04:08this, you can win the game $300. Lonnie, what does the word goodbye stand for? It doesn't
04:16really stand for anything. It's just a made-up word that they use. It doesn't mean a thing.
04:20All right. Craig Stevens. As I recall, it's a contraction of God be with you. For the game
04:28and for $300. Does it mean anything at all or does it mean God be with you? I think I'll
04:34go with Craig Stevens. You are right. It is. God be with you. It's a contraction. We're in
04:40the game. All right. So congratulations, Daniel. You've won the game in $300. And now we have
04:54to say God be with you to Leah Stern. And Leah takes with her the organ, the Grove Garden,
05:00the color television set, $1,800 in cash and a grand total of $4,230. Well done, Leah.
05:07Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. And now, Ben Willavala. You've only won $300.
05:12You also won a very special surprise. And Johnny Jacobs, what, pray tell, might that be?
05:17It's this, Tom. It's stereo equipment. Electrophonic's full-dimensional sound system
05:22with AM-FM stereo radio. Build-in-8 track tape player and record changer. Stereo entertainment
05:27from Electrophonic. And relax and recline on your sofa. The new Lazy Boy reclining sofa can
05:33be placed one inch from the wall. You can rely into any position with the foot
05:36rest up or down. It's a Lazy Boy. Good for you, Daniel. Well, the bank was not broken in that game,
05:44so we put another $500 into the bank. That means in the next game, the bank will be at $8,000.
05:51We'll play that game after this week.
05:52All right. Dan Evel is our current champ, and he has a total of $1,180 in playing the game so far,
06:07and he's also earned the right to take on a brand-new challenger. And Johnny Jacobs,
06:10would you introduce this lady in pink?
06:12Yes, I will, Tom. She's a mother of three whose interests are needlework and sailing.
06:16That tells us about them. What are your interests?
06:28Happy to have you with us, Colleen. And it's really a blue outfit. Don't bother adjusting your set.
06:35You know how to play the game, don't you, Colleen?
06:37Yes, I do.
06:38That's good. All right. And now our bank is at $8,000, and we're going to ask you to start us off,
06:43Colleen, so pick a box if you will.
06:44I'm going to pick number 14.
06:45Number 14. All right. Speak right up there. Number 14. Could we see box number 14 and see what Colleen...
06:50Oh, there's a money bag. Now, Colleen, you have a choice of two things. You can keep it
06:54and hope to get two more and break the bank for $8,000, or you can refuse it and continue to play.
06:59What do you want to do?
07:00I'm going to turn it back and try number nine.
07:02She wants to play some more. All right. Number nine, she said. Could we see box number nine?
07:06And here it comes. It's a $300 box, and that is connected to J.P. Morgan and to Craig Stevens.
07:14J.P., something a woman has moves eight to ten times a minute more than a man's. What is it?
07:23Her thighs. No. I'll cast, I say her eyes.
07:30J.P. Uh-huh. Craig Stevens.
07:32Well, if that were my wife, it would be credit cards, but...
07:35J.P. Seriously, her heart.
07:39J.P. Her what?
07:40J.P. Heart.
07:40J.P. All right. Colleen, her eyes or her heart?
07:43I'll say her heart.
07:44J.P. Her heart is right. You've got a $300 box right there.
07:47Pick another box, buddy.
07:48J.P. Number 10, looking for $300.
07:50J.P. Number 10, she wants. Could we see if she found another $300 box?
07:54J.P. She did. Connected to Lonnie's story, Craig Stevens.
07:58J.P. Lonnie, Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address in the back of something.
08:03What?
08:03His wife. She's a real heavy sleeper and is on the train.
08:07He wrote it. Actually, I was a history major at the University of Richmond.
08:11It's true. He wrote it on the train on the back of his Bible.
08:14J.P. Uh-huh. Craig Stevens.
08:16I'm afraid Lonnie's got his history mixed up a little bit there.
08:18I think it was the back of an envelope.
08:21J.P. Colleen.
08:21J.P. Envelope is right. You now have two $300 boxes.
08:27J.P. Pick another box, Colleen.
08:30I'll try 15, looking for the game.
08:32J.P. She's looking for the game. If she finds it and successfully gets the third $300 box, she can win the game.
08:37Could we see box number 15?
08:39J.P. No.
08:39J.P. It's the blank. Dan Avala.
08:42I'll go with box number 20, please.
08:43J.P. Box number 20 for Daniel. Could we see box number 20, please?
08:47And there is the money bag.
08:48You want to keep that and hope to get two more and break the bank?
08:51It's at $8,000, or you can pass it by and keep on playing.
08:54J.P. It's tempting, but I'll turn it back in.
08:56J.P. Okay.
08:57Which box next?
08:58J.P. Number 18.
08:59J.P. Number 18. Could we see box number 18?
09:03And there is a $200 box.
09:04That is connected to Joey Bishop and to Boise Aldrin.
09:07Joey.
09:07Joey.
09:08Yes.
09:08In American history, exactly what was Fulton's folly?
09:13That's my category, American history.
09:15Not like Dum Dum here.
09:16I happen to know American history.
09:19Fulton's folly was he sat on a bicycle that didn't have a seat.
09:25That was Fulton's folly.
09:26From which we got such great words as, holy jeez.
09:33No, Fulton's folly, and you can trust me when it comes to history, was the Erie Canal.
09:40Buzz Aldrin.
09:42Well, this had something to do with transportation, I'm sure.
09:46But I'm afraid Joey missed it there.
09:49This Fulton, something on the water, a steamboat.
09:55All right.
09:56Erie Canal or steamboat?
09:58The steamboat.
09:59Steamboat is it.
10:00Yes, sir.
10:01That $200 box is now yours, Daniel Avila.
10:04And pick another box.
10:06Number 17, please.
10:08Could we see box number 17?
10:09He's looking for another $200 box.
10:10He's on the blank.
10:11Back to Colleen Smoot.
10:13Oh, I'm going to go with number 8, looking for $300.
10:16All right.
10:17Now, if you find this, you can win the game at $900.
10:20And if you successfully get that box, could we see box number 8?
10:24Did she find it?
10:24She did.
10:25It's a $300 box.
10:29You must earn that, however.
10:32And that box is connected to Joy Bishop and Craig Stevens.
10:35And, Joy, here is your question.
10:36According to a recent article in New Times,
10:39where is the number one crime center in the United States?
10:44Okay.
10:44I want to help this lady win money.
10:46And I study crime.
10:48I do Phoenix.
10:52Craig Stevens.
10:55Well, they're pretty close figures.
10:59New York.
11:01Colleen Moore.
11:02What did you say?
11:03New York.
11:03Wrong.
11:04Phoenix.
11:04What did I tell you?
11:05Is the answer.
11:07And so that box...
11:07Are you going to believe me, who never went to high school,
11:09or this dumb number went to college?
11:12We return that box to a beautiful position in Van Avalanche at that.
11:19I'll go with number 8 for the block, please.
11:21He's going to try to block.
11:22So he wants to see box number 8 once again.
11:25And once again, that is connected to Joy Bishop and to Craig Stevens.
11:29Ah, Joey, name the largest island in the world.
11:33Did I give you Phoenix and you didn't buy it?
11:35The largest island in the world is Australia.
11:39Craig Stevens.
11:40Well, he called me a dummy on the last one.
11:42Well, this one I know.
11:43Greenland.
11:45What do you say, Dan?
11:46Uh, Greenland.
11:48Wait a minute.
11:48Not only he's stupid, you're more stupid than him.
11:52The answer is Australia.
11:54The box returns to his beautiful position.
11:56And once again, Colleen has a chance.
11:59I just want to know something.
12:00As intelligent as I am, I could wind up stupid before this show is over.
12:08Colleen?
12:10You want the same box?
12:11I want the same box, yeah.
12:12She wants box number 8.
12:14We're going to try this.
12:14We're going to keep doing it until we get it right.
12:16Now, once again, Colleen, if you earn this box, you win the game.
12:19$900.
12:20All right, Joey and Craig, stand by.
12:22Joey, how many times does the century plant bloom?
12:27The century plant blooms only once and then it dies.
12:32Craig Stevens.
12:33My mother raises flowers and so I know an awful lot about this.
12:36It's approximately every 100 years.
12:40Colleen Smoot.
12:41One.
12:41Just a second.
12:42For the game and $900, is it approximately once every 100 years or only once?
12:47Once every 100 years.
12:49Wrong.
12:49Only once and then it dies.
12:51I'll tell you right now.
12:58If you were steps to get off, I'd have left.
13:00Yep.
13:02Bring around those steps.
13:04They have you confused with the century plant.
13:06They thought you only told the truth once every 100 years.
13:10Back to you, Dan.
13:11What do you want to do?
13:12Number 8 for the block.
13:13He's going to stay with the blocking tactic.
13:16So it's number 8.
13:16We're going to keep it right there.
13:17Joey and Craig, let's try you two.
13:22Wait a moment.
13:23I want to thank my co-star for this wonderful series.
13:29Joey, what are Panama hats made?
13:34Where?
13:35Where are Panama hats made?
13:38Panama hats are made in Panama.
13:41Craig Stevens.
13:42I read this recently and it surprised me.
13:45Ecuador.
13:46Now, Dan, for the successful block.
13:49Stand by, folks.
13:50Is it Panama or is it Ecuador?
13:56Craig can't be wrong all the time.
13:58Ecuador.
13:58That's it!
13:59Ecuador!
13:59You have successfully blocked Colleen, unless, of course, she gets the wild card.
14:08Well, that's our show for today, folks, and listen, be sure—no, we're just kidding.
14:13You're still in control, Dan.
14:14Pick another box.
14:15Number 13.
14:16Number 13.
14:16Can we see box number 13?
14:17He's looking for another $200 box, and he found it.
14:20Yes, sir.
14:21And that box is connected to Joey Bishop and Meredith McCray.
14:24And, Joey, here is your question now.
14:26Okay.
14:26Your friend is giving you a blunderbuss for your birthday.
14:30What will you have?
14:31You have a boring, dull, monotonous birthday.
14:37That's what you would have.
14:39Okay?
14:40Sorry with me.
14:41You would have a rifle or a shotgun.
14:45All right.
14:45Meredith McCray.
14:47Well, my birthday is coming up on May 30th, and I hope I get lots of them.
14:50They're beautiful blue flowers.
14:53Flowers or a rifle or shotgun?
14:55I think it's a rifle.
14:56It is.
14:56It's a shotgun is what it is.
14:57And now you have three $200 boxes.
15:00You can win the game with your next pick.
15:02Which box would you like?
15:03I'll go with box number 12.
15:07All right.
15:07If this is the $200 box, and if you get it, you can win the game in $600.
15:11He knows that they're connected on at least one side.
15:14Could we see box number 12?
15:15It is.
15:16That's where we are.
15:17That is connected.
15:19The news for us and Meredith McCray.
15:21Liz, how much of the world's population does China's population represent?
15:27It's a huge population, and it's 21%.
15:30Meredith McCray.
15:32I think it's a little less than that.
15:34I think it's 14%.
15:36All right.
15:37Now, Dan Evela, for the game, $600 and a special surprise prize, is it 21% or is it 14%?
15:44I think it's 21%.
15:46You have won the game!
15:47That's $600.
15:48What a game that was, too.
16:02We spent about 20 minutes on box number 8.
16:04It was finally resolved in favor of Dan Evela, and he wins the game.
16:07We had to say goodbye to you, Colleen, but you gave it a good try, and we have a very nice
16:11gift for you back today.
16:13Did you enjoy yourself?
16:15Glad you did.
16:16We enjoyed having you on the show.
16:18Let's find out where on the board the wild card was.
16:20Where was the wild card this time?
16:22There it was, box number 2.
16:23All right.
16:24Dan Evela, you won the game, $600, and now you also have a very special surprise prize.
16:29What is it, Johnny?
16:30Well, Tom, cooking will be a breeze with his new range.
16:34Beautiful continental electric range with the exclusive no-turn speed broiling system.
16:39Broils meat on both sides at once, sealing in natural juices.
16:42From White Westinghouse Consolidated Industries.
16:45There you go.
16:46Now, once again, the bank is not broken, so we put another $500 into the bank, and the
16:51next time we're going to try to break the bank at $8,500.
16:56We'll be back.
17:04Daniel Evela, as the current champ, $900 in cash, the stereo, the recliner, the range
17:11for a grand total of $2,720.
17:13And Johnny Jacobs, who is his new challenger, please?
17:16She's a teacher of natural childbirth, Tom, and her hobby is karate.
17:21Margaret Martin.
17:25Hold it.
17:27Hold it.
17:29You're the teacher of natural childbirth?
17:32That's right.
17:32And your hobby is karate?
17:34That's right.
17:34If the kid don't come out, you're not.
17:39Ready or not?
17:40That's it.
17:43I know all that stuff.
17:45Margaret, you know how to play our game, don't you?
17:47Yes, I do.
17:47All right, let's do it.
17:48Pick out a box.
17:49Let's go.
17:49Okay, I'll choose number 10.
17:51Number 10.
17:52Can we see box number 10?
17:54It's a $300 box she finds right off the back connected to Lonnie Sher and Craig Stevens.
17:59All right, Lonnie.
18:00According to Reader's Digest, if you work more hours a week than any other profession,
18:04what do you do for a living?
18:05You're a skin diver for Roto-Rooter.
18:09That's a hard job.
18:10More hours?
18:12I read that in a magazine about a week and a half ago.
18:14You're a policeman.
18:16Craig Stevens?
18:17Outside of an actor, I would say farming.
18:21All right.
18:21Policeman or farming?
18:22Please.
18:23Margaret?
18:23Farming.
18:24Farming is it.
18:24Yes, ma'am.
18:25You have a $300 box.
18:27Take another box.
18:31Okay, I'll take number five.
18:33Number five.
18:34Looking for another $300 possibly.
18:36Could we see box number five?
18:37There is another $300 box.
18:39Connected to Lonnie Sher and Elaine Boosler.
18:43And now, Lonnie, according to studies, on the average, how many times a year does a male
18:48elephant get really romantic?
18:51How am I supposed to?
18:54How many times?
18:55Well, he's got such a good memory, he don't make any difference.
18:58He's just...
18:5912, I believe.
19:04I believe it.
19:06That's true.
19:06Elaine Boosler.
19:0712.
19:07Yeah, 12.
19:08All right.
19:08Elaine Boosler, what would you say?
19:09I would say once.
19:11Uh-huh.
19:12Margaret, what do you think?
19:14I'll say once.
19:15Once is correct.
19:16Yes, ma'am.
19:16You have two $300 boxes.
19:19You get the third one.
19:21You can win the game.
19:22Pick a box.
19:24I'll choose number nine.
19:25Number nine.
19:26She knows they are connected on at least one side, the three $300.
19:29If you find this, you can win the game, and $900, could we see box number nine?
19:34It is a $300 box connected to J.P. Morgan and to Craig Stevens.
19:40J.P., where is the largest prison in the world located?
19:46Oh, um, the United States.
19:50Craig Stevens.
19:52I read this the other day, and it's not, you know, I thought it was, it's in Russia.
19:57Margaret Martin for the game.
19:58And for $900, and for a very special prize, is it Russia or the United States?
20:04I'll take Russia.
20:05You've won the game.
20:07$900.
20:09Very well done.
20:12And Daniel, since you did not have a chance to go to the board, you're still eligible to play our game.
20:17We'll play another game.
20:18We'll tell you about your prize and a whole lot of other things.
20:20Do you want to do this first?
20:22Of course, yes.
20:22We're going to have a commercial.
20:23You come right back now, okay?
20:24Could we find out where on our board the wild card was for this game?
20:36It was just won by Margaret Martin.
20:38There it was, in box number one, right next to Elaine Boozler, who, incidentally, from May 10th to the 16th, is going to be at the Turn of the Century Club in Denver.
20:45Who are you performing with, Elaine?
