00:00Yes, it's Beat the Clock.
00:09Go on and join the action in the Race Against Time
00:11with guest star, Tom Kennedy.
00:14Now, here's your host on Beat the Clock,
00:17Jack Narns.
00:30Howdy! Welcome.
00:32Nice of you to drop by and visit with us today.
00:34I'm very pleased to have as a guest star this week,
00:37Mr. Tom Kennedy, who will join us very shortly on stage.
00:39But now we have some couples to meet.
00:41Gene, who are the first, if you please?
00:43Our first couple is George and Audrey Walls.
00:48Audrey, George, it is nice to meet the Walls.
00:51Welcome to the show, Audrey.
00:52Nice to be here.
00:53I hope that you and George have a lot of luck
00:54and a lot of money.
00:55Well...
00:55I suppose you feel that way, too.
00:57We do.
00:57How about you, George?
00:59I'm looking forward to it.
00:59You came to play, huh?
01:00I came to play.
01:01Welcome, my friend, and good luck to you.
01:03Would you be so kind as to take Audrey to the bench
01:05and relax for us, wait for your call
01:06as we meet couple number two.
01:07Gene, over there.
01:08Our second couple is Howard and Ruth Mendelson.
01:12Nice.
01:14Mendelson.
01:15Hi, Ruth.
01:16Hi.
01:16Just a little bit shook up, huh?
01:18Oh, you're going to relax and everything's going to be fine.
01:20Hello, Howard.
01:21How are you?
01:21How do you feel about being on television?
01:23Shake you up?
01:24No, not at all.
01:24Not at all?
01:25Very good.
01:25Well, then, I'm going to let you hold on to her hand
01:27and calm her down a little bit.
01:29You can come over here with me,
01:30and I'll tell you what we're going to have you do
01:31to beat the clock.
01:33And it's really going to be very simple.
01:35All you have to do is break two balloons.
01:38Nothing to it.
01:39Okay, honey?
01:40All right.
01:40Well, first, take a look at the clock.
01:41We'll see how much time you have to break two balloons.
01:43You have 60 seconds.
01:44Now, what if you'd just stand over here for a moment, please,
01:47and take off your shoes for us.
01:49Yes, both of you, please.
01:50Because we want you to jump up and down or stomp
01:53or whatever you have to do to burst these two balloons.
01:55We're going to scatter them on the...
01:57Oh, no, I'm sorry.
01:58Oh, my goodness.
01:59Don't take them off.
01:59I've got to...
02:00Oh, leave them on.
02:03Because this was really smart.
02:04Look, I'll show you what I mean.
02:05Girls, bring out the boards.
02:06See, we're going to strap these to your feet.
02:08And, boy, without your shoes,
02:09that would be counter-hurty, wouldn't it?
02:11I'm sorry.
02:12I didn't mean to shake you up like that.
02:13Now, if you just stand inside the straps, kids,
02:16and then we'll strap them on your feet like that.
02:18That's the idea.
02:20Like so.
02:21Gee whiz.
02:22That's a crazy thing to do.
02:24I'll tell you to take your shoes off.
02:26Nice and as tight as we can.
02:30That a girl.
02:31Now, let's get this one on.
02:34That's it.
02:35Now, you'll be standing, facing each other,
02:38and holding hands while you do this.
02:40Okay?
02:41And you have 60 seconds to break two balloons.
02:45Okay.
02:46Now, if they slip a little bit,
02:47you know, force your feet in for us.
02:48Okay?
02:49All right.
02:49You have 60 seconds.
02:50Break both those balloons for us.
02:51Ready?
02:51And go.
02:53Hold hands.
02:55Now you figure out what to do,
02:56whether to jump or...
02:59That's right.
03:02Boop.
03:02Easy does it now.
03:03We'll kick it back over to where you get to it.
03:05That's good.
03:06Now.
03:08Now.
03:09Careful.
03:10Right here.
03:11Six foot.
03:12Attaboy.
03:13It'll hold hard, I think.
03:14That's good.
03:15Can you lift one foot?
03:18Slip it in, huh?
03:19Now, we work on that one.
03:20Work on the orange.
03:23Can you lift one foot, Howard?
03:24And you get closer?
03:26Attaboy.
03:27That's good.
03:28Now, do the same thing over here, Howard.
03:30Do the same thing, Howard.
03:31Stop the clock.
03:32Attaboy.
03:35That was a dump.
03:36Okay.
03:38That's the way.
03:42It's one of those things that sounds so ridiculously easy
03:44when you tell them to break two balloons with a second heart.
03:46Both out of breath.
03:48Okay.
03:49Good luck, kids.
03:49Here's the cash board.
03:50You know what to do here.
03:51Choose a letter.
03:52I'll flip it over, and we'll see what you win.
03:54T in beat.
03:55All right, then.
03:55T in beat.
03:57And the beat goes on.
03:58$25 for Stuck.
04:07All righty.
04:08The star now of a show called It Is Your Bet,
04:10and soon to be seen up here, I think, by you folks,
04:13and for many, many years on You Don't Say,
04:15and a fellow comes from a very nice family.
04:19Tom Kennedy, friends.
04:20Here he is.
04:21Come on.
04:41Thank you very much.
04:42I forgot about my paper route.
04:43I have a very successful paper route.
04:45Really?
04:45Yeah.
04:46It always gets a lot of laughter.
04:47That's why I say it.
04:48I'm sure glad you did.
04:50All right.
04:51Say hello to the couples.
04:51We'll get out of one way.
04:52Mendelsohn's here.
04:53Howard and Ruth broke two balloons, beat the clock,
04:55and over there we have Audrey and George,
04:58and I'll have both of you come on over here,
05:00if you would,
05:01and the three of you will combine to beat the clock.
05:05Just step over here.
05:06I'm going to put TK standing here,
05:09Audrey here, George over there.
05:12On the other side.
05:13That's the idea.
05:14You take this.
05:14Okay.
05:16We're going to put one of these records,
05:18long-playing records on this post.
05:19I want the three of you to pick it up.
05:21That was a big hit.
05:22That and I sing the folk hit.
05:23Pick this up between the three of you,
05:26take it down,
05:27and put it on that table to beat the clock.
05:29Is that all there is?
05:30That's all there is?
05:31Here's the clock that says you have 55 seconds.
05:34Now, we want you to use tongue depressors to pick it up,
05:38and the tongue depressors are to be held in the teeth.
05:41Did you use the glue on yours?
05:44Yeah.
05:44That's good.
05:45They're in good and solid, right?
05:46Uh-huh.
05:47No hands, only tongue depressors.
05:49Look at her upper lip, it's quivering.
05:50Mm-hmm.
05:51Go ahead.
05:53I don't think that's in your mouth far enough, is it?
05:56Oh, it's not very heavy, anyhow.
05:57All right.
05:5855 seconds to carry one record down,
06:00deposit on the table.
06:00Ready and go.
06:01You may talk all you wish.
06:02Three, and three, up, and four.
06:05Uh, uh, okay.
06:06All right, please.
06:07Oh, he's so neat, he's bringing him back to this.
06:13Two, and three, and go.
06:16Two, and two, and two, and three, up, and four.
06:19Easy.
06:20Now, you must go.
06:22Easy.
06:23All right, guys.
06:26Stop the clock!
06:28Come on.
06:34Wonderful.
06:36I didn't know that was that low.
06:37Yeah, that's a thought.
06:38Very tricky.
06:39We have 29 seconds remaining.
06:41Ah, good.
06:42Let's break out a deck of bicycles.
06:44No, $20 for each record you get on the table down there with the time remaining.
06:47Ready?
06:47Yeah, go.
06:4820 bucks.
06:49Three.
06:5023.
06:52Over that way.
06:59All right, 20.
07:08Come on.
07:08George and Audrey stop here at the cash board and, uh, choose a letter between you kids.
07:37I'll flip it for you.
07:38Good luck.
07:40The tea in the...
07:41All right?
07:41Yes.
07:42The tea in the cells.
07:46$50.
07:46$50.
07:50$70.
07:51Congratulations.
07:51A brief time out now, friends, after which we'll return with TK and more of BTC.
07:59Howard and Ruth will be given another go against the clock in a few seconds, a chance to earn
08:03some more money.
08:04Now we have some gifts for you, and Gene Wood will tell you about it.
08:06Gene, go.
08:07A pair of Hart Spoilers, the fiberglass alloy ski that's perfect for beginners, great for
08:11recreational skiers.
08:13Hart Spoilers.
08:14And the $25 certificate from the Yield House catalog, where you can select luxurious pine
08:19furniture or hundreds of gifts and home decorating items.
08:22Yield House of North Conway, New Hampshire.
08:24Go Jack!
08:24Sheer will.
08:30And Howard and Ruth, if you'd come with me, please.
08:33I'm going to ask you to be seated on the stools, and we're going to have Sharon and
08:37Warren come out and put some microphones around your necks, because we're going to want to
08:43hear what you have to say on this stunt.
08:45I'll tell you right now that we want you to give me five words to beat the clock.
08:50I will give you an example of what I'm talking about now.
08:52And as Gail comes out and I get over here, we'll first check the clock and see how much
08:55time you have to give me five words.
08:58Okay, at 50 seconds.
08:59What we're going to do is we're going to show you two letters.
09:01We'll give them the example now, if you would, please, Gail.
09:04Excuse me.
09:05Now, by adding two more letters, I want you to make a four-letter word out of this.
09:08You may put two letters here, or two here, or one here, or one here.
09:14For instance, T-R-A-P, trap, C-A-P-E, cape, got it?
09:22Or A-P-E-X, apex.
09:27What's funny about cape?
09:30Nothing.
09:30You have the idea?
09:32I'm going to alternate back and forth.
09:33First you give me one, then you give me a word.
09:35Four-letter word, I'll have to have five before I stop the clock.
09:38You have 50 seconds.
09:39All right, here are the first two letters we want you to work with.
09:41And go.
09:43Star.
09:44Star.
09:45Stop.
09:46No, now, you use these.
09:47Okay.
09:48Um, Pete.
09:50All right.
09:51Exit.
09:52Pardon?
09:52Exit.
09:52Exit, that's three.
09:54Kite.
09:54Fine, that's four.
09:56Part.
09:57Part is five, stop the clock.
09:58That's five.
10:03Tell you what we're going to do now.
10:06When we get back to some familiar letters, don't repeat words.
10:09If you can help it, don't repeat them at all.
10:11You have 35 seconds left on the clock.
10:13Ten dollars for each additional four-letter word you give me.
10:16And go.
10:17Eight.
10:18Ten.
10:24Till.
10:25Till?
10:26Okay, fine.
10:27That's 20.
10:27Hole.
10:28Hole.
10:29Hole.
10:30All right.
10:3030.
10:32Foot.
10:32Foot.
10:3340.
10:36Trap.
10:36Okay.
10:38That's 50.
10:40Your turn.
10:41Star.
10:42No, you said that.
10:43Can you give me a minute?
10:44Uh-uh.
10:52I was trying to indicate stop, and you did right there, but you got five.
10:56Oh, was it stop the first time?
10:57And you didn't say star the second time?
10:58Star the second time.
10:59Stop the first time.
11:00Well, it was a repeat or not?
11:02No, it wasn't.
11:03It was not a repeat?
11:03No.
11:03All right, then you have $60.
11:05Another chance.
11:05Okay.
11:13Thanks, Darren.
11:14Okay, that was my fault, but we made up for it, I hope, and now we're going to win some
11:19more money in addition to the $60.
11:21Choose a letter.
11:22Good luck.
11:23Second C in clock.
11:24The second C in clock?
11:25Okay, it is yours.
11:28$50.
11:28$50.
11:35And a chance now for our couples to earn an extra $50 each as they bet on either the star
11:41of the clock, which means solo time.
11:45I have a few for you.
11:46Want to stand up?
11:46Yeah.
11:47Here's a line that will restrain you.
11:48You can't work any closer to the props than that.
11:50We're going to put up a target on the table, paper cup, and we want you to knock it over.
11:55Oh, I'm very good at this.
11:56I know.
11:57The king of the frisbees here.
11:58And here's what you do.
11:59You throw out the frisbee, you have it hit the wall, come back, and knock over the cup.
12:03Oh, really?
12:04And if it hits it on the way, it's no good.
12:06That's right.
12:07Oh.
12:07That's really no good.
12:08You want to make a game out of this?
12:10I think we will.
12:10Okay.
12:11How much time does he have to knock over the cup?
12:1455 seconds.
12:15Let's see how much faith they have in you, Jim and Tom.
12:17Howard and Ruth, the right bet wins $50.
12:19You want to bet on the clock or the star?
12:20The star.
12:21On the star.
12:21Okay.
12:22Your frisbee reputation has preceded you.
12:25George and Audrey?
12:27Nice.
12:27With him.
12:28Five.
12:29Good enough.
12:3055 seconds to knock it over, ricochet style.
12:33Okay.
12:34Ready?
12:35Yeah.
12:36Now.
12:36Go.
12:36Go.
12:37I like that follow-through.
12:44I'm going for Gene Wood's elbow.
12:47And tail.
12:49Wait a minute.
12:54Oh.
12:55Ha-ha-ha.
12:56Stop.
12:58Let's go for some big money.
13:10Go put up another cup.
13:12Almost 35 seconds left.
13:14$25 for each team, each cup.
13:17Ready?
13:18Go.
13:18There we go.
13:19Go.
13:19Go.
13:20I really got the hang of it.
13:32Yeah.
13:32Oh.
13:33I am.
13:36Ah.
13:37Good.
13:37Go.
13:37Go.
13:37Go.

13:40Go.
13:40Go.
13:41Go.
13:42Go.
13:43Go.
13:43Go.
13:44Go.
13:44Go.
13:45Go.
13:45Go.
13:46Go.
13:46Go.
13:47Go.
13:47Go.
13:48Go.
13:48Three extra, that's an additional $75 per team.
14:04Congratulations, that's beautiful.
14:11Okay, as usually, it's win or lose.
14:14We always have a gift for our guest star,
14:16but it's because you knocked over so many cups,
14:17we're going to skip it.
14:19No, we have something for you.
14:20Gene, what is it, please?
14:21Pier 1 enamel cookware from Spain,

14:30George?
14:32Ah, you stay there, Audrey.
14:34Gale's going to take you off stage and hide you somewhere.
14:37We'll see you in just a little bit.
14:38Now, if you're wondering why George's been sent off,
14:40and I know Audrey's wondering,
14:42we'll tell you about it right after these words.
14:45Just a few seconds, we'll bring George back out,
14:47but right now I ask you to listen for both of you
14:49as Gene tells you about the prizes we have for you.
14:51What are the gifts, Gene, please?

15:18For the moment, dear,
15:19I'm going to have you stand right here at this corner.
15:21Werner will bring out a microphone
15:22and put it on you.
15:24I'll take the pen, honey.
15:25Thank you very much.
15:27I've asked Audrey to try to think of some places,
15:29remember some places that she and George
15:32have been together.
15:33Now, George is off there in a booth over there
15:35where he can't see or hear anything that's going on stage.
15:37And I'm going to ask you to name
15:38at least nine of those places
15:40that you and George have been together.
15:42I'm going to put them on this tic-tac-toe board.
15:44Then we're going to bring George back out
15:46and have him name places
15:46that he can remember where they've been together.
15:48And to beat the clock,
15:49we want you to make a tic-tac-toe.
15:52Now, if you'll start naming places,
15:53I'll start writing.

17:56Yeah.
17:56Church.
17:58Get married?
17:59Yeah, the church wants to get married.
18:00You go, well, I guess they don't go everywhere.
18:03Uh, any other restaurants that are favorite?
18:05How about Vita Clock?
18:07Vita Clock?
18:07Yeah.
18:08Okay.
18:08Vita Clock.
18:11Because you are here together today, aren't you?
18:13Uh-uh.
18:13Look at the...
18:14See how I thought of that?
18:15The flash.
18:15Boom.
18:15They're here together.
18:16All right, we're going to cover that up now.
18:17And let's start bringing George out, because this usually takes a little bit of time.
18:21Audrey, I'm going to exchange places with you.
18:22I want you to stand over here, if you would, please.
18:24And when George comes out, I'll explain to him what we have up there.
18:28And what we want him to do.
18:30And, uh, let's see how much time they have to make us a tic-tac-toe, by the way.
18:34Well, they have 60 seconds.
18:35Okay.
18:37Hello.
18:37Hello, George.
18:38How are you, sir?
18:40Welcome back to your Dress for Action.
18:42We have a stool back there for you to sit on.
18:43You want to go back there and sit down?
18:45I'll tell you what we've done.
18:47While you were offstage being dressed by...
18:50Gail didn't do that, did she?
18:52No.
18:52We asked Audrey to name nine places that you two have been together.
18:57Now, these can be any type of places.
18:59I'll tell you.
19:00There could be restaurants, parks, uh, cities.
19:04Cities?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Uh, amusement events, anything.
19:07But we want you to come up.
19:08We wrote them on a board.
19:09There are nine of them she gave us.
19:11And we want you to name them to make a tic-tac-toe.
19:13You know what a tic-tac-toe board is?
19:15Okay.
19:15Each time you name a place that she has,
19:17Warren is going to put an X up on the board.
19:19You have 60 seconds to give us a tic-tac-toe.
19:22However, if at any time you name a place
19:25that she does not have on the board,
19:29you're in deep trouble.
19:30I get that.
19:31Because that means you were probably there with someone else.
19:33And to make up for it and to punish you,
19:35she's going to give you one of these cream pies right in the face.
19:41The audience likes it.
19:43Audrey, you can work over there, dear.
19:45Honey, you have to stay right in that area.
19:47Get the work closed.
19:48That's good.
19:50Now, if he names a place that's on the board, you get an X.
19:52If he names a place that isn't on the board,
19:54he gets a pie in the face.
19:56You got it?
19:57Right.
19:57You have a fiendish smile on your face.
19:59I have a feeling you're going to enjoy that.
20:02All righty.
20:02If you're ready, George, start naming places.
20:04Go.
