00:00Amazing lasers, starting Monday at 6.
00:06Here are our champions, they're three of a kind.
00:10Hi, I'm Arlene Laurie.
00:12I'm Ron Bianco.
00:13I'm Allison Pine, and we're...
00:15Celebration Singers!
00:18And here are our challengers, they're also three of a kind.
00:22Hi, I'm Cheryl Gillespie.
00:24I'm Penny Jones.
00:26And I'm Dan Kazdorf, and we're...
00:28We are...
00:28Redheads!
00:30And they're here to play Hot Potato!
00:35And here to toss the Hot Potato, our host, Bill Tully!
00:39Thank you all.
00:40Thank you very much.
00:44I am neither a Telegram singer nor a redhead, but welcome to Hot Potato, because Hot Potato
00:49is, I guess.
00:51We'll talk first to our champions briefly, because although those who were with us last
00:55time met you, we might have some new tuners in.
00:57So, for the Telegram Singers, our Allison, A-L-Y-S-E-N, pretty name.
01:03Tell us about your group, Allison, dear.
01:05Well, we sing Telegrams, as you know.
01:07I am a red satin heart for Valentine's Day that's coming up.
01:10You are indeed.
01:10A red satin heart.
01:12Well, if you're a red satin heart, what does that make Ron?
01:14It makes Ron a classic bellhop.
01:16Oh, very good.
01:17And it makes Arlene Rita the meter maid.
01:21Yes, I'm sure I saw you in one of those movies.
01:25In any event, our Telegram Singers have been successful thus far.
01:29They have won a round and a game and gotten up there to our big bonus round.
01:33They have $1,000.
01:34If you get to the bonus round again, it will be, we add $5,000 to it, and you'll be going
01:38for $10,000.
01:39Let me greet our redheads.
01:40Hi, redheads.
01:41Hi.
01:41You're lovely girls.
01:45Cheryl, as the appointed captain, tell us about your team.
01:48Well, the three of us belong to a group for redheads.
01:51I can see that.
01:52I don't blame you.
01:53Is that a hard group to join?
01:55Well, if you have red hair, it's not very hard to join.
02:00Can men as well as women get in?
02:01Sure, sure.
02:02What if I have thinning red hair?
02:04Well, then we'd like you to be a member of our group.
02:07Even if I only have two or three strands?
02:08That's right.
02:09Wait for me.
02:10I'll get the henna and be over in a minute.
02:11Hi, if memory serves, our telegram singers are in control.
02:16I'm now going to read the question, and all of you listen to it, because it may very well
02:20pertain to everybody here.
02:22It certainly pertains to me, because I have to read it.
02:25Question.
02:26Are you trying to make ends meet?
02:28If you are, welcome to the club.
02:29We have the list of the seven biggest expenses for Americans, excluding taxes and saving.
02:39The seven biggest expenses that Americans incur, excluding taxes and saving.
02:44Arlene, your team has control, so it's going to be up to you to either give me an answer or challenge.
02:49What do you want to do?
02:50Okay, I'm ready to answer.
02:51If you are ready, I'm ready.
02:52Okay, how about medical?
02:54Medical is correct, and one right answer.
02:57I don't know.
03:01I don't know where it is on the list, but I guarantee you it's slowly, not slowly, quickly working its way up to the top.
03:08Ron, what do you say?
03:09Answer or challenge?
03:10I'm going to answer.
03:11Here comes another answer.
03:12Buying a home.
03:14Buying a home.
03:15Correct.
03:15That's the right answer.
03:16That includes, by the way, rent and mortgage and housing.
03:23That's all under that one category, so don't repeat any of those.
03:26Buying a home, rent, housing, and mortgage.
03:28Allison, what are you going to do?
03:30I'm going to answer this question.
03:31If you think you have any.
03:32And it's something I know we can all, we can't live without.
03:35What might that be?
03:37Food.
03:37Correct.
03:38Food is one of those.
03:39Do you know that Americans spend $397 billion per year on food?
03:49Almost as big as the national debt, which, of course, is fattening.
03:54Arlene, answer or challenge?
03:57I'm ready to answer again, and if everybody's like me, it's the automobile.
04:01Automobile, another right answer.
04:03That goes under the general category of transportation.
04:11We have medical, home, food, and transportation.
04:14I hope we get to you girls sooner or later, but they're doing so well.
04:17Ron, you were up.
04:18What are you going to do?
04:18I'm going to answer?
04:20I think you know one.
04:20You might as well.
04:21Utilities.
04:22Utilities is another right answer.
04:23All right.
04:28Allison, we only need two more right answers.
04:30Of course, you have a full complement of challengers over there, or opponents.
04:34What do you want to do?
04:34Well, I'm going to answer this one again, too.
04:35All right.
04:36And it's something I can't live without.
04:39Clothing.
04:39Clothing is another right one.
04:44One more.
04:46You can live without clothing because you're a red heart for Valentine's Day.
04:49That's right.
04:50But clothing was a right answer.
04:51We only need one more right answer, and right now, we're going to give everybody a chance to ponder.
04:56We'll be back in just a moment.
04:57We have a word for inclusion.
05:00Hello, Gene.
05:04Sorry to call so late, but I'm worried about Mike.
05:07I don't like the sound of his cough.
05:09It's very congested.
05:11Formula 44D?
05:12Thanks.
05:13Take strength from this.
05:15Vic's Formula 44D is now twice as strong to loosen worrisome chest congestion.
05:19It also quiets coughing and helps drain nasal congestion.
05:22And it's the only leading formula that can do all that.
05:25See, honey?
05:26Nothing to worry about.
05:28Vic's Formula 44D.
05:29Made stronger to take the worry out of congested coughs.
05:33Now it's a breeze.
05:35I can get shakeable hair with unshakable hold with new Jermak aerosol hairspray.
05:40Because Jermak hairspray is professionally formulated and salon tested.
05:43Just like all Jermak products.
05:45And I love the new aerosol.
05:47It gives you soft, shining, shakeable hair with unshakable hold.
05:50Just like mine.
05:51Jermak professional hairsprays in new aerosol or pump.
05:55The trade secret for beautiful hair.
05:58So let the wind blow.
06:01So we're back again.
06:06I said we only needed one more right answer.
06:08By we, I mean our telegram singers.
06:10Redheads, I don't know whether we're even going to get to you on this game.
06:12It depends on what happens.
06:14The question is the big expenses, the biggest expenses that Americans incur, excluding taxes and savings.
06:22Now so far we've had medical, home, housing, food, transportation, utilities, and clothing.
06:27Okay, Arlene, it's your turn.
06:29And Arlene, we only need one more correct answer.
06:32A right answer will win you the round and get you ahead in the game.
06:35Now you may challenge if you don't think you have one.
06:38No, I'm going to go.
06:39This is for the game.
06:41A round.
06:41Live without it.
06:42Entertainment.
06:43For the round.
06:44Wrong.
06:46Sorry, Arlene, you have to go and sit on the bench over there.
06:49Well, it finally got to you, did it not?
06:51We need one more right answer.
06:53Cheryl, it's going to be your turn.
06:55You've heard what the answers have been.
06:56We need one more.
06:57If you come up with this one little teeny-bitty answer, I don't know how long it is, but it's just one answer, you win the round.
07:03Okay, I'm going to try.
07:04How about insurance?
07:06Insurance.
07:07Incorrect.
07:08Cheryl, to the bench for you.
07:10Now, it passes back over to the telegram singers who have done so well to this point.
07:15And Ron, you're up.
07:16Still only need one answer.
07:18Well, I'm going to challenge...
07:20You may.
07:21Jan.
07:22Jan, you have been challenged.
07:23Here's what can happen, Jan.
07:24You come up with the right answer.
07:26We only need one more answer, so this is the round for you.
07:29If you miss it, it's the round for the tele...
07:31No, that's not so.
07:32Round for you if you get it right.
07:33Okay.
07:34I'll say furniture.
07:36Furniture is correct.
07:38And let it go.
07:39Well, that's better.
07:42There you go.
07:43That's better.
07:46How do you like that?
07:47You know, we mentioned that there are two ways you can win the game.
07:55One is to come up with all seven answers, and the other is to eliminate, or come up with
07:58a seventh answer.
07:59The other is to eliminate your opponents.
08:01Now, they went flying through and got the first six, and all you had to do was come up
08:04with one, and you got it.
08:06So, let me recap for you.
08:07The question, big expenses for Americans, they were clothing, food, furniture, household
08:12expenses, medical, rent, mortgage, housing, and transportation.
08:16That's automobile and gas.
08:18Well, congratulations, redheads.
08:19You are now in control.
08:20Everybody be listening, because this might pertain to all.
08:23Cheryl, if you could be any animal, I like this question.
08:27If you could be any animal, what animal would you choose to be?
08:31Now, this question was asked in a national survey by the Davis Research Corporation.
08:36We have the top eight responses.
08:38We need only seven of those.
08:40Cheryl, we begin with you.
08:41What would you like to do?
08:42Okay, I'd like to try.
08:43If you think.
08:44How about a bird?
08:45A bird is right.
08:47A bird is right.
08:48And that includes all birds in the answer, all birds.
08:55And that's what I would pick, but who cares?
08:57Penny?
09:00It's up to you to answer.
09:01I'm going to play, and I would probably like to guess man's best friend, a dog.
09:05A dog is also on the list.
09:12That, of course, includes, for the record, all dogs, present company, except.
09:16Jan?
09:16I'm going to play.
09:19Wait just a moment.
09:20It was just a little thought that popped into my bird-like brain.
09:26Jan, what would you want to do?
09:28I'm going to play.
09:29Or if you think you know one, let's hear it.
09:30And I'll say a cat.
09:31A cat is another right answer.
09:37Now, the shoe is on the other paw.
09:39They're answering all the correct words.
09:41Cheryl, it's up to you.
09:42You can answer a challenge, as you know.
09:44Okay, I'm going to play.
09:46How about a rabbit?
09:48Rabbit is wrong.
09:50Oh, I can't.
09:52Or wabbit is wrong.
09:53However you, if you would go and sit on the bench, please.
09:55We'll be back to you, perhaps.
09:57But right now, control switches back to the telegram, singers.
10:00So far, we have three correct answers.
10:03We need four more.
10:04And Arlene, it's your turn.
10:06Challenge?
10:06It's getting hard now, I think.
10:07Okay, I'll guess.
10:09All right.
10:10How about a fish?
10:11A fish?
10:12No, wrong.
10:13What do you want to say?
10:15Nobody.
10:15I mean, fish was not on the list.
10:17Right.
10:17You're out of the game, and we're back over here to our redheads.
10:20Okay, the question is, animals that people want to be.
10:23We have a list of eight.
10:24We want any seven of those eight.
10:26Penny?
10:26Okay, I would like to say probably a lion.
10:29A lion.
10:30Yes, lion is on the list.
10:34So far, we'll be back to you, be down to you in a moment, Jan.
10:38So far, we've had bird, dog, cat, and lion.
10:42Jan, what would you like to do?
10:43I'll play.
10:44All right.
10:45I'll say a horse.
10:47Yes, that's on the list.
10:53So, our telegram singers are waiting to see what happens.
10:57The redheads are in control.
10:58We need two more right answers.
10:59Penny, your choice.
11:01Answer a challenge.
11:03I think I'm going to challenge Ron.
11:06Ron, your challenge, so to stay in the game.
11:08This is to keep you in there.
11:09You have to come up with one of those animals.
11:11Okay.
11:13I think I'm going to say a tiger.
11:15Tiger is up there.
11:17Good for you.
11:19Penny.
11:21Penny goes into the punishment box there.
11:24Now, we only have one opponent up there.
11:26And, Allison, you're up.
11:27Now, we need two more right answers.
11:28We've had bird, dog, cat, lion, horse, and tiger.
11:33Okay.
11:34One more right answer.
11:37I can challenge them, okay?
11:38You sure can.
11:39Okay.
11:39I'm going to challenge Jan.
11:41Jan, you know what happens?
11:42If you do not come up with the right answer, you are eliminated, and your team loses the round.
11:47This is the second round, and for the game.
11:49Okay.
11:49Let's hear what you have to say.
11:51You must answer.
11:53I'll say a snake.
11:57That's wrong.
11:58And the telegram singers win the round, and the game is tied.
12:02Come on back.
12:03Everybody back.
12:04What a nice tie game here.
12:06Woo!
12:09Just, we have a tie game, one round apiece.
12:12And for your information, bear and deer were the other two animals we could have accepted.
12:17And we'll be back here in just a moment, but right now, we've got to go out and earn some money and become independent and wealthy.
12:22It was no bargain at all.
12:36Ellen Petock bought a bargain brand baby shampoo.
12:39I thought it was going to be just as gentle as Johnson's baby shampoo.
12:43I used it, and it was a fiasco.
12:45It stung my baby's eyes, and he cried.
12:48They may say baby shampoo, but many bargain brands sting, irritate eyes.
12:53Only Johnson's says, no more tears.
12:56Johnson's is no more tears.
12:58You feel good as a mother using it.
13:01I won't buy anything else.
13:04Hello?
13:04Hi, Lenny.
13:05How's it closed?
13:06Kat!
13:06What's up?
13:07Oh, I just want to talk.
13:09Are you okay?
13:10Sure.
13:10Oh, it's a bad time.
13:11No, no!
13:12Look, never mind.
13:13I'll talk to you later.
13:14All right?
13:15Yeah.
13:15I'll get out.
13:18Hello?
13:19Kathleen, what's going on?
13:21Nothing.
13:22Come on, this is me, remember?
13:24Stop twisting your hair.
13:25Talk to me.
13:27When a faraway voice sounds as close as you feel, that's reach out and touch someone.
13:31That's AT&T.
13:33What are your back aches like?
13:35My back aches?
13:36Well, the muscles start to stiffen, tighten up, kind of a dull, throbbing hurt.
13:40Sometimes I move wrong, and oh, the pain is something else.
13:44That's when I take some Dones pills.
13:46Dones puts its power where the pain is.
13:48With a pain reliever found in no other leading analgesic, just two Dones pills give hours
13:52of relief from minor muscular backache due to strain or exertion.
13:56It's everything I ever wanted in a backache remedy.
13:58Dones pills don't spray.
14:00Put power where the pain is.
14:04Hey, Pop.
14:06What's this?
14:07Married six months, and already your wife's using spaghetti sauce from a jar?
14:10Oh, it's okay, Pop.
14:11This is Prego.
14:12Prego.
14:12Listen to me.
14:13The ingredients of a successful marriage.
14:16Garlic.
14:17It's in there.
14:17Little bits of real herbs and onions for that homemade taste.
14:21Pop, look.
14:22It's in there.
14:22And you need...
14:24Whoa.
14:26It's in there.
14:28100% natural Prego spaghetti sauce.
14:30Homemade taste.
14:31It's in there.
14:32So this game has turned into a one-round-a-piece situation.
14:39The telegram singers have won a round, our redheads have won a round, and this round is
14:43going to be for the game and the shot of the big money.
14:46Arlene, we're going to begin with you when we get back here, but first I'm going to pose
14:49the question and ask everyone to listen, because as I frequently say, and probably will continue
14:54to say, it may pertain to everybody.
14:56What we're looking for now is seven of the ten Republicans who served as president during
15:04this century.
15:05Repeated, seven of the ten Republicans who have served as president during this century.
15:10We begin with you, Arlene.
15:11What would you like to do?
15:13Okay.
15:14I'll answer.
15:15All right.
15:17President Nixon.
15:18President Nixon is right, and you have one.
15:21Interesting.
15:21Yeah.
15:22Ron, you know there are two ways you can go.
15:26Your choice.
15:28I'm going to answer.
15:29And?
15:29Ronald Reagan.
15:30Certainly.
15:31We have two.
15:33Now we're going to find out what Allison wants to do.
15:38I hope he's a Republican.
15:41Ford?
15:43Correct.
15:43He was indeed, and still is.
15:45Well done.
15:47As far as I know, he was, and still is, a Republican.
15:53Arlene, it's up to you.
15:54Oh, oh, oh, God.
15:58Okay.
15:59You can challenge him.
15:59This century, huh?
16:01Yes.
16:03Okay.
16:04This century.
16:05Okay.
16:07President.
16:10You need an answer.
16:12Three seconds.
16:13I'm going to challenge Penny.
16:15Nope.
16:15Can I do that?
16:16Oh, she got the challenge in.
16:18She got the challenge in in time.
16:19We have to ask our judge if indeed that would.
16:20Excuse me.
16:21Excuse me.
16:21No, she decided to answer the question.
16:23She must answer.
16:23I'm sorry.
16:24You must answer, and time beat you there.
16:26You did not.
16:26So we have to consider that a wrong answer.
16:28I am sorry, Arlene, dear, but to the bench for you.
16:32It was a nice try, Arlene.
16:33It just didn't work.
16:34Okay, now control passes over to our redhead.
16:37So far, we've had Nixon, Reagan, and Ford.
16:40I mean, given as answers.
16:42Cheryl, what would you like to do?
16:43It's your turn.
16:44Answer a challenge.
16:45I'm going to challenge Allison.
16:47Okay.
16:47So, Allison, you're challenged.
16:49You now, in order to stay in the game, have to come up with an answer.
16:52Your answer, please.
16:53Oof.
16:55Okay.
16:59Eisenhower.
17:00Correct.
17:01That's right.
17:04Cheryl, that puts you out of the game.
17:06Boy, you came up at the last minute with that one.
17:10And the redheads, Cheryl, has been, as you see, removed from the game.
17:13They're down to two.
17:14It's two over here for the singers of Telegrams.
17:16Nixon, Reagan, Ford, and Eisenhower have been mentioned.
17:20It's your turn, Ron.
17:21Well, I'm going to challenge Penny.
17:23Okay.
17:23Penny, you're challenged.
17:24You now must give an answer in order to stay in the game.
17:27Your answer, please.
17:28The only thing I can think of is President Kennedy.
17:33No.
17:34Incorrect.
17:34That's Penny.
17:35Go back there and sit on the bench.
17:37I don't know.
17:38And now, here's the situation.
17:40Allison, you have the ball right now.
17:41There's only one opponent left.
17:44I ask you, just as a matter of form, what are you going to do?
17:48I'm going to challenge Jan.
17:49I rather thought you would.
17:51Now, Jan, to stay in the game, to stay alive, you have to come up with a correct answer.
17:56If you miss this when you're out, and the Telegram Singers win the round and the game.
18:01Good luck.
18:03The Republican president of the last century.
18:06I'll say Johnson.

20:42It really hurts.
20:43Muscles sore, stiff.

21:00Plus an extra medicine ordinary pain relievers don't have.
21:03My back really feels good.

21:08Specially made for backaches.
21:10Okay, welcome back.
21:14We're ready here.
21:15Hi there.
21:16Good to see you with us.
21:17We're ready to play a bit of a bonus game.
21:18You kids were up here once before, missed out.
21:21And every time you miss out, the next time you come back, we had $5,000.
21:24So now it's $10,000.
21:25Yeah.
21:25And you know, it's not as hard as it might seem because just earlier this week, our very
21:28nice waitresses won a $20,000 jackpot.
21:31Yeah.
21:31Let's hear it, $24,500.
21:33Anyway, the bonus game, the subject of today's game is something near and dear to me.
21:37It's age.
21:38I'm going to show you a pair of famous personalities.
21:41And each time, I'm going to ask you to tell me which one is older.
21:45Each time you're correct, you earn $500.
21:47You may quit whenever you want.
21:48But if you can answer five questions correctly, you'll win your jackpot, which is now at $10,000.
21:53Keep in mind, you may pass a question once per game, so you have that.
21:58Okay.
21:58First problem.
22:00Who is older?
22:01Is it Woody Allen or Steve Allen?
22:05Discuss it out loud if you would and decide whether you want to play or pass.
22:09Okay.
22:09All right.
22:10Okay.
22:10You're going to play this and pass.
22:11We're going to play it.
22:11You're going to play it.
22:12All right.
22:12Which one's older?
22:13Steve Allen.
22:14Woody Allen, would you believe, is 49?
22:16Steve Allen is 64.
22:18And you got one.
22:19Okay, you now have $500.
22:26You want to go for $1,000?
22:27If you miss, you'll lose what you've already won.
22:28Are you pretty confident in this conversation?
22:31Yes.
22:32So far.
22:32Okay.
22:33You're going to go?
22:33Yeah.
22:34Okay.
22:34You're going now for $1,000 or nothing.
22:36Who's older?
22:37Dick Van Dyke or Mary Tyler Moore?
22:40Talk it over and come up with an answer.
22:42Dick Van Dyke.
22:42You may play or pass.
22:43Yeah, he is.
22:45Okay.
22:45We're going to play.
22:46You're going to play and your answer is?
22:47Dick Van Dyke.
22:48Dick Van Dyke is 59.
22:49Mary Tyler Moore is 47.
22:51You got your answer.
22:55Going now.
22:57$1,500 or nothing.
22:59Do you want to play or quit?
23:00You can't take any.
23:01Do you want to go?
23:02How are you feeling?
23:02I want to go.
23:03All right.
23:03You want to do this?
23:04All right.
23:04We're going to go.
23:05You're going to go.
23:05Remember, you have a pass.
23:07Who's older?
23:07Billy Graham or Milton Berle?
23:10Talk it over and tell me what you want to do.
23:13Have a pass you can use if you want.
23:15Okay.
23:15All right.
23:15You're going for it.
23:16Okay.
23:16All right.
23:17Yeah, we've got a sure person here.
23:18You've got a sure person?
23:19Yeah.
23:20May I know who it is?
23:20Yes.
23:22Yeah.
23:23Milton Berle.
23:24Billy Graham is 65.
23:25Milton Berle is 75.
23:27You got it, guys.
23:29$1,500.
23:29Do you want to take the money and quit now, or do you want to go on?
23:36Let's go get a question.
23:37You can't do that.
23:38You have to ask and take a question.
23:40Okay.
23:40Let's stop.
23:41Let's stop.
23:42Let's stop.
23:42Okay.
23:43Let's stop.
23:43Let's stop.
23:44You will be going for it.
23:45Let's stop.
23:45Because if we don't, it's going to blow.
23:47All right.
23:47Decision time, and I'm going to ask Allison.
23:50You'll be going for $2,000 or nothing.
23:52Okay.
23:52Are you going to take your money, or are you going to go on?
23:54We're going to keep our money and not go on.
23:56You're going to keep your $1,500?
23:58I don't.
23:59I'll be fine.
24:00I cannot.
24:02I cannot.
24:02These are going to get tougher and tougher.
24:04Yeah.
24:05And we're going to get...
24:05And they're getting older and older.
24:07Older and older, yes.
24:08I haven't posed the question, so I'll tell you what.
24:11I'll pose it.
24:11Now, you've got the $1,500.
24:13That you have.
24:14Yeah.
24:14Now, just for a tease, the next pair would have been, who was older, Joan Rivers or Queen Elizabeth.
24:21Ooh.
24:22Ooh.
24:24That's pretty funny.
24:25Are you sad you stopped?
24:28Let's just for a kick, some Joan Rivers.
24:30I have no idea.
24:31We don't have to think.
24:31I know.
24:31He wants to know what we think it is.
24:33Yeah.
24:33What do you think it is?
24:34Oh, he's a little bit.
24:34Oh, for a kick.
24:35I think Joan Rivers.
24:36It's quite a kick.
24:37Joan is 47.
24:38Queen Elizabeth is 57.
24:41Ooh.
24:41So you did the right thing.
24:44Yeah.
24:44You took the $1,500.
24:45And let me tell you this.
24:46If you win another game and get back here, we're going to add $5,000 to it.
24:50And you're going to be paying for $15,000.
