00:00From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun, it's Tic-Tac-Toe.
00:11And now, here's our host, Wink Wartendale.
00:23Thank you so much.
00:27Hey, welcome to Tic-Tac-Toe.
00:28We are delighted to have you with us.
00:30Let's meet our current champion right now.
00:33Our current champion, who's winning total in cash $3,800, is a high school librarian whose interests include reading and embroidery.
00:42Meet Gail Waterman.
00:44And her opponent is a retired Marine Corps major who enjoys racquetball and soccer.
00:49And he's the father of seven children.
00:52Meet Wayne Lingenfelder.
00:58Hey, before we talk to both of you, I want to remind you, in case you missed our last show, everybody, let me tell you the outcome of our over-80 tournament.
01:10The finals were played between Janie McNeely and Dr. Paul Spangler.
01:13Now, Janie won the tournament, the $100,000 cash, $50,000 for herself, and $50,000 for her favorite charity, St. Elmo's Children's Village.
01:24And because of special circumstances, Dr. Spangler was also awarded $100,000, $50,000 for himself, and $50,000 for his charity, the American Heart Association.
01:36That's just in case you missed any of that.
01:43Wayne Lingenfelder, right?
01:45Yes, Wayne.
01:46That's close enough, isn't it, Wayne?
01:48We met your seven kids on our last show for a major.
01:50You've got an awful lot of minors out there taking up the whole first row.
01:54Was it tough having that many in the service?
01:56Only when we transferred, Wayne.
01:58The Marine Corps would come in and take all the gear out of our house.
02:01Then we would load up all the kids and animals in our car and take off to wherever we were going next.
02:05You mean besides nine, pronounce it for me.
02:08Lingenfelder.
02:09Lingenfelder.
02:09Is there were animals in the car as well?
02:11Well, one time we traveled with three cats and another time with our leopard cat.
02:15A leopard?
02:16A leopard.
02:16It was a present that I bought for my wife.
02:19We built a cage for it and put it in the back of our station wagon, traveled across the country, stopping at motels, sneaking the leopard into motel rooms so the clerks wouldn't catch us.
02:29It's too easy to spot a leopard, that's for sure.
02:31What?
02:32Too easy to spot a leopard.
02:36You know, I thought that was good.
02:38This is a hostile audience.
02:39Don't pay any attention to them at all.
02:40What became of the leopard?
02:42Well, the pet store owner told us in 30 days it'd be just like a house cat, but I'm here to tell you that's not true.
02:48You know.
02:49And if you want to visit them, you can go to the Pittsburgh Zoo.
02:51Thanks.
02:52I prefer a tamer game like Tic-Tac-Toe.
02:54We're going to play shortly.
02:55Hello, Gail.
02:56Hello, Rink.
02:57Doggone it, you've won $3,800 cash of our Tic-Tac-Toe money.
03:01I say doggone it.
03:02I'm delighted for you.
03:03On our last interview, we learned you were married, but so far no children.
03:06Is that correct?
03:07Yes, I don't have any children, but with our earnings, we'd like to have a baby.
03:11Would you like a boy or a girl?
03:12Well, I have a four-year-old niece who's very smart, and she's at home now probably watching
03:18us, and I think I'd like to have a girl just like her.
03:21Tell us about her.
03:23Well, she's so smart.
03:24She knows that George Washington is the first president, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.
03:29Yeah, hold on just a second, then.
03:31That's George Washington, first president.
03:35Abraham Lincoln, was it?
03:36Freed this man.
03:36Okay, Gwen in New Jersey, let me tell you, we're going to find out how your aunt's going
03:41to do as we play Tic-Tac-Toe right now.
03:43Good luck to you both.
03:50Here are the subjects we're going to deal with in this game.
03:53Gail and Wayne, take a look.
03:54Our subjects are situation comedies, or sitcoms, famous sites, games, the Bible, Who Am I,
04:01science fiction, male singers, art, and female achievers.
04:05Gail, select, please.
04:05I want to go with Who Am I in the center, please.
04:08All right, it's a two-part question, of course, worth $300 to the pot, Gail, and I'll give
04:12you some extra time before you have to give me your answer.
04:15I'm a British director whom the critics have generously dubbed the master of suspense.
04:21In fact, a scene from my 1960 thriller, which starred Tony Perkins, caused a husband to complain
04:26that his wife was now afraid to take a shower.
04:29My advice, take her to the dry cleaners.
04:32First, Who Am I?
04:33And secondly, Name My 1960 Thriller.
04:37Think about that for a few seconds, Gail.
04:47All right, Gail, Who Am I?
04:49Hitchcock.
04:51Yes, Alfred Hitchcock.
04:52To put an X in the center box, Name My 1960 Thriller.
04:56Psycho.
04:56Yes, you got it.
04:57There we go with an X in the center and $300 in the pot.
05:00Let's shuffle them all around and get over to Wayne.
05:04All right, sir.
05:06Let me try science fiction in the upper left, Wayne, please.
05:09And so be it.
05:09Here's the question.
05:10Wayne, though this author is best known for science fiction classics such as The Invisible
05:15Man and The War of the Worlds, his nonfiction book, Outline of History, topped the bestseller
05:20list.
05:20Name him.
05:25H.G.
05:26Wells.
05:27That's right.
05:27Hubert George Wells.
05:28H.G.
05:29Wells.
05:29Let's move the categories around.
05:31Still $300 in the pot.
05:32Still anybody can win.
05:33Gail?
05:34Well, I know a lot about it.
05:36I'd like to take the Bible, please.
05:38All right, the Bible.
05:39Bottom left on our board.
05:40Gail, here's your question.
05:41According to the Bible, this food was miraculously provided for the Israelites during their flight
05:46from Egypt.
05:47It was said to have rained down from heaven.
05:50Name it.
05:51Manna.
05:51Yes, that's right.
05:53Manna from heaven.
05:54Put it up there and let's shuffle the categories again.
05:57$500 pot, Wayne.
06:01All right, male singers for a diagonal block, right?
06:03Wayne, here's your question for a block.
06:05Now, this dimpled male singer has starred on Broadway, frequently guest-hosted The Tonight
06:10Show, and co-hosted the hit television series That's Incredible.
06:14For a block, name him.
06:16Davidson?
06:17Yes, John Davidson.
06:18We put a note there for a block, $700 in the pot.
06:21We'll be back to our game of Kick-Zack-Dove in just a moment.
06:29I knew there had to be a perfectly good explanation why my regular pad didn't work as well at night.
06:34I'll play all day.
06:38Every time a player defeats five opponents, she or he wins something special.
06:42This lady has defeated three, two more, and she's going to win one of these.
06:46Jay?
06:46Gail, for your driving pleasure, it's a brand new car!
06:49Later for that, right now, back to the game.
06:58Let's shuffle the categories around.
07:00$700 in the pot.
07:01As we move them around, we move right back to Miss Waterman.
07:05I'd like to try games, please.
07:07Top center games, all righty, for another X on that board, Gail.
07:10In this children's game, lines are drawn on the sidewalk, and the players try to jump from one square to the other.
07:17Name it.
07:18Hopscotch.
07:18Yeah, all played hopscotch at one time or other.
07:22Put her next there.
07:22Let's shuffle again.
07:23$900 in the pot.
07:25Wayne?
07:26Games again, Wayne.
07:27You can feel this girl's trying to beat you, Wayne.
07:29I think she's doing it.
07:30Yeah, I think she'd do that.
07:31No sympathy.
07:32All right, you're going to try to block her now vertically with the answer to this question.
07:36If you were...
07:37Now, let me change that.
07:38If we were playing this board game, you might trade in your houses for a hotel and place it on Marvin Gardens.
07:44For a vertical block, name this popular game.
07:47Monopoly.
07:47Yes.
07:48Monopoly.
07:49Parker Brothers, Jake James.
07:50Put it over there.
07:52Four boxes remaining.
07:53And another $200 in the pot takes it up to $900.
07:56Let's shuffle the categories around.
07:59It's an $1,100 pot, obviously.
08:01Gail?
08:01Well, I'd like to go with games again.
08:05All right.
08:06Games, popular category.
08:08In a game of bowling, there's only one frame in which the player is allowed to throw more than two balls.
08:14Name the frame.
08:16The tenth frame.
08:17You got it.
08:17The tenth frame.
08:18Put an X on that board again.
08:21And $1,300 in the pot.
08:23Ladies and gentlemen, three boxes remaining.
08:25Anything can still happen.
08:26Let's see what happens as we shuffle.
08:28Situation comedies, games, and who am I, Wayne?
08:33Who am I, please, Wink?
08:34Who am I?
08:35Bottom right.
08:36Here's the question for a block, Wayne.
08:37I am a newsman, and I've been with NBC since 1943.
08:42I had my own on-the-air journal, but people know me best as an anchorman.
08:47And remember when I would end the broadcast by saying to my partner,
08:51good night, Chet.
08:52Who am I for a block?
08:54Brinkley.
08:54Right.
08:55David Brinkley.
08:55His partner, Chet Huntley.
08:57Put an O there.
08:57And another $300 in the pot.
09:00Okay, circle getting very tight now.
09:02We're down to two boxes, and the categories that show up will decide if we have a win or a tie.
09:06Let's shuffle.
09:08Famous Sights in the Bible, Gail.
09:10I'd like to go with Famous Sights for the win, please.
09:13All right, Gail.
09:14If you answer the question correctly, you will indeed have a win.
09:16You will pick up $1,700 in cash.
09:20When added to the cash you already have won, and it's all cash.
09:23You've won no prizes yet.
09:24You'd have a total of $5,500.
09:27Gail, take a look at this famous site, please.
09:30This Washington, D.C. building houses more than 17 million books and pamphlets,
09:35which is one of the largest collections of printed material in the world.
09:39For tic-tac-toe and a total of $5,500, name it.
09:42The Library of Congress.
09:44You got it.
09:45You got it.
09:48I don't know how to say this, but Gail, you're getting closer and closer to that baby all the time with every win.
10:05You have won $5,500 in cash.
10:09You have the chance to beat the dragon again.
10:12You haven't had any luck against the monster yet, have you?
10:14No, I want to beat him this time, though.
10:16All right, this is going to be the time.
10:18Think positively.
10:19Well, Wayne, you got a few kids out there, and we wanted to put some money in your pocket to help feed that great group out there in the front row,
10:27but it just didn't work out that way, did it?
10:29It was fun.
10:30I hope you enjoyed meeting us and playing our game as much as we enjoyed playing our game with you and meeting you, Wayne,
10:36and we do have a couple of very nice prizes for you as you leave us,
10:39and perhaps we can get together and do this again sometime with more positive results.
10:42All right?
10:43Thank you so much, Wayne.
10:44Nice round of applause for Wayne Rington Seltzer.
10:47Okay, Gail, come on over here.
10:53All right.
10:54Step right here, and do you ever, you don't ever frown, do you?
11:01Rarely.
11:02Well, gone, it's one of the happiest people I've ever met in my life, and I think that's super.
11:06Behind these numbers on the board are various amounts of money, a tick, a tack, and the dragon,
11:11with whom you're familiar.
11:12Reach $1,000 or more, or get the tick and the tack, and you'll win the prize package.
11:16Now, Gail, I want you to take notes of the gifts in this next package that'll fill your life with the sounds of music.
11:22To hear what I mean, here's Jay Stewart.
11:24First, Gail, let's get this show on the road with this brand-new Car Stereo.

12:46And, Gail, this musical package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $4,150.
12:53Before the dragon, you lose anything.
12:54Get the tick and the tack, and you automatically get the dough.
12:56Let's shuffle them now, move them all around on the board.
12:59And, uh, let's see, your sister-in-law is in the audience.
13:02Is that correct?
13:02Yes.
13:03All right, point out where she is.
13:04Honey, would you hand...
13:05Here?
13:05Yeah, there she is holding up here.
13:06Hold your hand up again, Lisa.
13:08Yeah, Lisa's almost, uh, almost to the point where she acts like she doesn't want to be seen out there.
13:13She's going to help you come up with the right decisions here?
13:16I hope so.
13:17Will she start, or shall she begin?
13:19I'd like to start.
13:19All righty.
13:20With number one.
13:21Number one on the board.
13:22All righty.
13:22Good luck, Gail, as we go.
13:23In quest of $1,000 or more, Jack, all you need is kick for an automatic win.
13:29By the way, before we get your decision on your next number, we're going to take a break,
13:33and then we'll continue, all righty?

15:15Palm olive makes loads of thick, long-lasting suds.
15:17Gail just told me during that break that she already had her mind made up as to the first three numbers she picks.
15:24And she's not going to ask her sister-in-law to help her.
15:26How did you have your mind made up?
15:27My dad called me from Florida with three numbers, and I'm going to use them.
15:31The number one was one of them.
15:32Yes.
15:32What's the next one?
15:33And the second one is number five.
15:35All right, number five in the center.
15:36What is behind number five for Gail Waterman?
15:39I hate to brag, but us dads always know what we're talking about.
15:57You're right.
15:57You want to thank your dad on national television?
15:59Thanks, Dad.
16:00I love you.
16:01Oh, that's great.
16:02Let's look at the rest of the board.
16:04Where did you think the dragon was located on the board?
16:07Nine.
16:08Number nine.
16:08All right.
16:08Let's look behind number nine and see if you were right.
16:11No, but it doesn't matter because you still win.
16:14Where was the dragon?
16:15Two, three, four, six, seven, or eight.
16:16It was behind number four.
16:18Next question.
16:20That wasn't one of the numbers Dad said try was.
16:22No, he said three.
16:24Number three.
16:24Three up here would have been $300.
16:26Well, you got it.
16:27You got the tick and the tack, the first two calls, and you won the money you needed.
16:30You got the trip to Vienna.
16:32And isn't that going to be nice?
16:33This is going to be fabulous.
16:34Do you know what your grand total is now?
16:36No.
16:36Including the cash, the $5,500, plus the trip, you are now up to $9,650 in cash and merchandise.
16:46And that's not all.
16:47You know what happens if you beat your next opponent?
16:49I win a brand new car.
16:52If you beat your next opponent, you got a new car.
16:53We're going to meet that opponent right now.
16:55First of all, Gil, you go right over there.
16:57And Jay Stewart, if you'll take a moment's search, we'll find out who that opponent's going to be.
17:02She is a teacher's aide who enjoys working with children, sewing, and playing the piano.
17:07Meet Diane Rosedale.
17:08Hiya, Diane.
17:14Welcome to Tic Tac Dill.
17:15Hi.
17:16How about you?
17:16Marriage seems to be the subject.
17:18Marriage and children.
17:18Are you married?
17:19I should say so.
17:20I have five kids.
17:21Five kids?
17:23A little bitty drink of water has five kids, ladies and gentlemen.
17:27Boy, you are married.
17:28You know, I just read that, I don't know whether it's true or not, but I read that in China,
17:32they pay married couples to have just one child, and for every extra child you have, they take money away.
17:38Well, that's too late for us.
17:40Yeah, that's for sure.
17:41What does your husband do, Diane?
17:42He's a truck driver.
17:44On the road a lot?
17:45No, he does local deliveries.
17:47Like your doctor.
17:51Excuse me, I feel a little ill.
17:53Diane, let's see if you can deliver the goods in a game of Tic Tac Dill.
17:56You ready?
17:56Sure.
17:56All righty, here are the subjects for Gail and Diane in this game.
17:59Names the same.
18:00Cars, television stars, nursery rhymes, general science, jacks and johns, U.S. politics, rivers and colors.
18:08Gail, champion goes first.
18:10I want to go in the center box with general science.
18:12All right, in this game, in a quest for a new automobile.
18:15Win it and you got it.
18:16Gail, for general science, this question.
18:19These two men made important contributions to science during the 19th century.
18:23I'll describe them and you name them.
18:25One, the English naturalist who revolutionized biology with his theory of evolution in 1859.
18:33Secondly, the Austrian monk who discovered the principles of heredity.
18:37Here's your extra time.
18:47Gail, the subject general science, talking about two men who made very important contributions to science during the 19th century.
18:54First, who was the English naturalist who revolutionized biology with his theory of evolution in 1859?
19:01Darwin.
19:02Right.
19:03To put an X in that center box, the Austrian monk who discovered the principles of heredity.
19:08Who was that?
19:09Mendel.
19:10Right.
19:11Right on Mendel.
19:12Oh, Mendel.
19:13Put an X there.
19:14We're heading to the pot.
19:15Let's shuffle the categories around.
19:16And move to Diane Rosedale.
19:18All right, Diane, this is your first shot at our board.
19:20What subject would you like?
19:22Names the same, upper right.
19:24Names the same, upper right corner of the board.
19:25This question.
19:26A former basketball star named Bill, an actress named Jane, and philosopher named Bertrand all share the same last name.
19:35What is it?
19:35Russell.
19:36Correct.
19:36That's Russell.
