00:00From television city in Hollywood, CBS presents America's most exciting new show, The Joker's Wild.
00:13Now, here's the host of our show, Jack Perry.
00:22Thank you very much.
00:23And the most important, you're welcome once again to The Joker's Wild,
00:26the program where knowledge is king, lady luck is queen,
00:28and where yesterday on our program we were right in the middle of a show,
00:31right in the middle of a contest between two people, and our time unfortunately ran out.
00:35We're going to pick that game up right now and finish it as Johnny Jacob reintroduces our two battling contestants.
00:40Johnny?
00:40All right, Jack, our first player has a score of $100.
00:43She's the wife of a retired test pilot.
00:45Her name is Helen Johnson.
00:49And her opponent, who has no score so far in this game, is a student and proofreader, Mary Osborne.
00:58Welcome back to the program, ladies.
01:01On our last show, you two girls started to play against each other because, as you know,
01:05we crowned a new champion on our last program, winning about $9,500.
01:10Kathy Baw, you two ladies came out.
01:12You played a little bit.
01:12You told us a little bit about yourself, Helen.
01:14You said that you consider yourself a middle-aged hippie.
01:18That's right.
01:20My husband and I like organic products, organic foods,
01:25and we're even putting in an organic garden in our backyard.
01:29And that's why you consider yourself a hippie.
01:31It's very daring, I must say.
01:34It's just a lot of work.
01:35I'm sure it is.
01:36And your opponent has no score, unfortunately.
01:39You missed your question.
01:40You're a little more calmed down since the last program?
01:42Oh, yeah.
01:43Ready to do battle now?
01:45Yeah, yeah.
01:46Yeah, yeah.
01:47Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:48Well, we'll be playing that game in just a moment.
01:50But first, we have a few words, and then on with the Joker's Wild.
01:52Right here.
01:54And now the Joker's Wild.
01:55As you know, in the Joker's Wild, if the players spin and get three different categories,
01:59they play for $50.
02:00If they get a pair, they play for $100.
02:01If they get a triple, they play for $200.
02:04$500 or more wins the game.
02:05And if at any time anybody gets three Jokers,
02:08and they pick one category and answer it correctly,
02:11they automatically win the game right then and there.
02:13Ladies, on the game that was interrupted with a score 100 to 0,
02:16here are the categories which we were using.
02:17We were playing with fairy tales, songheads of the 50s,
02:20France, the gay 90s, and currency.
02:23It's your second turn to go.
02:24Helen Johnson, spin, and good luck.
02:29France, Joker, gay 90s.
02:33I'll take the gay 90s for it.
02:34Right, you've made a pair.
02:35It's a $100 question, and here it is.
02:37The World's Columbian Exposition was opened in 1893 in an American city.
02:43For $100, where was this extravaganza held?
02:52Philadelphia?
02:53No, I'm sorry, it's not.
02:54Under the rules of the game, if your opponent can answer your question,
02:56she would get your $100.
02:58In what city was the World's Columbian Exposition opened in 1893?
03:02Which city was it held in?
03:03New York?
03:04No, I'm sorry, it was Chicago.
03:05Chicago, no score, but you spin right now.
03:07Good luck to you, Mary Osborne.
03:12France, gay 90s, and France.
03:14How do you play it?
03:15France.
03:16All right, that's a pair you made, so you're playing for $100.
03:18Emil Zola was sentenced to jail for his magazine article, Jacuzze,
03:22in which he defended this convicted traitor.
03:26For $100, name the captain whom Zola defended.
03:29You have been so nervous.
03:36You were nervous on our last program, you're nervous now.
03:38I'm not nervous, I'm dumb.
03:39I'm dumb.
03:50That was very modest of you to say that,
03:52so that, because you do know this, and I know,
03:55and many people write and ask,
03:57ask how do people get on the show,
03:58they take a very, very difficult examination.
04:00She passed it with flying colors.
04:01I just really chalk it up to nervousness.
04:03At any rate, you did miss the question,
04:04and if your opponent can answer it,
04:06she'll get your $100.
04:07Whom did, what captain,
04:08whom, what captain did Zola defend?
04:10Dreyfus.
04:11Dreyfus is right.
04:12You go to $200.
04:14For $200, and now it's your point.
04:16Currency, France, France.
04:23I'll try France for $100.
04:24Okay, this will get you to $300 if you're right.
04:26This fashionable resort located on the French Riviera
04:29is the scene of a yearly, worldwide film festival.
04:33Name this French town.
04:35Cannes.
04:35Right, you go to $300.
04:38Yes or no?
04:42Joker, France, currency.
04:45I think I'll go off the board and try fairy tales.
04:49All right, as you know, under the rules of the game,
04:50if you get a joker, you don't have to take the categories.
04:52You can take one of the others,
04:53and you're taking fairy tales for $50.
04:56Here's the question.
04:58Okay, the ant and the grasshopper,
05:00the lion and the mouse,
05:01and the fox and the grapes
05:03are all attributed to the storytelling
05:04of this ancient Greek.
05:07Who was he?
05:07Asa.
05:08Good, for $50.
05:11Score $350.
05:13All right, Helen.
05:15Gay 90s.
05:18Song hits?
05:19Song hits.
05:21Yes, it's you, Helen.
05:25Yeah, I'll take the gay 90s for $50.
05:28Oh, you didn't take your time.
05:29We'll stay here all day.
05:29It's all right.
05:31What did you want?
05:32I'll take the gay 90s for $50.
05:33You'll take the gay 90s,
05:34which is only a $50 question.
05:36She was America's sweetheart
05:37of the gay 90s stage
05:39and became famous
05:39for her portrayal of Peter Pan.
05:42Name her.
05:47Lillian Howell?
05:48No, that's not right.
05:49You can pick up $50 here,
05:51Mary, if you can tell me her name.
05:53Fat chance.
05:54That's not her name, fat chance.
05:57Lillian Russell?
05:57No, Maud Adams.
05:59Maud Adams.
06:00All right, you don't get any score,
06:01but Mary, it's your spin.
06:04Currency.
06:05Joker.
06:06Fairy tales.
06:08Um, fairy tales for $100.
06:10All right, here's a question.
06:11In Copenhagen Harbor,
06:13a statue was erected as a memorial
06:14to one of Hans Christian Andersen's
06:16most beloved stories.
06:17What is the title of the fairy tale?
06:19Oh, the ugly duckling?
06:23No, that's not right.
06:24Your opponent can pick up $100
06:25if she can answer it.
06:26The Little Mermaid?
06:27Right, you go to $400.
06:30And it is your spin.
06:34Song hits.
06:36Currency.
06:37Fairy tales.
06:37I'll take fairy tales.
06:39All right, it's a $50 question.
06:40What was Rumpelstiltskin's
06:43special talent?
06:46Uh, spinning.
06:48Spinning or spinning straw?
06:49Very good.
06:50Well, accept that.
06:50You go to $450.
06:53Dressed in marriage.
06:58Joker.
06:59Currency.
07:00Song hits.
07:01Hmm.
07:03Song hits for $100.
07:04All right, here's the question.
07:06In song, the line goes as follows.
07:08Well, since my baby left me,
07:10I found a new place to dwell.
07:11It's down the end of the lonely street at...
07:14Heartbreak Hotel.
07:15Heartbreak Hotel.
07:15That's right, you go to $150.
07:20And the score stands for $50 to $150.
07:22All right, Helen.
07:25Fairy tales.
07:26Day 90s.
07:27Fairy tales.
07:28Fairy tales for $100.
07:28If you answer correctly,
07:30it's a $100 question.
07:31You'll go to $550.
07:32That's more than enough to win,
07:34but your opponent does get her final turn.
07:37What do they call the fairy-like little people of Ireland?
07:41Leprechauns.
07:42Right, for $550.
07:47Under the rules of our game, Mary,
07:48there is no possible scoring that could get you to catch her,
07:52with one exception.
07:53If you can now spin on your last spin and get three jokers,
07:56and can answer one category,
07:58you would be the new champion.
07:59Otherwise, we have a new champion in the person of Helen Johnson.
08:04Spin.
08:04Good luck.
08:07Joker.
08:08Joker.
08:09Joker.
08:09Joker.
08:09Joker.
08:10Even I don't believe it.
08:24That is absolutely wild.
08:28Well, you said you were dumb.
08:29You're not, but you sure have dumb luck.
08:32However, under the rules of the game,
08:35in addition to the three jokers,
08:36it's hard enough to get that,
08:37you must answer a question on any of the categories.
08:39If you can do,
08:40you would be our new champion.
08:43Which category do you want?
08:45I know you hate them all.
08:47It's fairy tales.
08:49Fairy tales again.
08:50Here's the question.
08:51Answer it correctly.
08:52You'll go to $500,
08:54and you will be the winner of the game.
08:58When Hansel,
08:59otherwise,
08:59if you do not,
09:00of course,
09:00Helen is the champion.
09:02Please.
09:05When Hansel and Gretel got lost in the woods,
09:10what had the birds eaten
09:11so the children could not find their way back
09:14for $500 and the championship?
09:17The crumbs of bread that they dropped.
09:19She's the new champion.
09:20I want to say,
09:33this is a fairly new program.
09:34You know,
09:34we've only been on for a number of weeks,
09:36but this is one of the dizziest game we've ever had.
09:39Congratulations to you,
09:40Mary.
09:40With a little luck,
09:41and in a moment,
09:42we'll give you a chance to spend for some prizes.
09:44Helen,
09:44you were really defeated by the machine.
09:46You're a good sport.
09:47Backstage will be some consolation prizes.
09:48Thank you for playing.
09:49Let's say goodbye to Helen Johnson.
09:51And we'll be back to single prizes right after the award.
09:54Our new champion,
09:56as you all know,
09:57is Mary Osborne,
09:58and I've never seen a young lady
09:59who is more genuinely frightened,
10:03upset,
10:04concerned.
10:04Mary,
10:05all I can say is,
10:06you did win,
10:06and it was a great stroke of luck.
10:08Calm down now.
10:09Everything's going to be fine,
10:10because now we're going to give you a chance to...
10:11Are you all right?
10:14Yes,
10:14I'm fine.
10:14You are?
10:15Yes?
10:15Okay,
10:15good.
10:16We're going to give you a chance now
10:17to spin for some prizes.
10:18Instead of categories up on the wheels,
10:19now we've loaded them all up
10:20with jokers and devils,
10:22mostly jokers and some devils.
10:23Every time you spin three jokers,
10:25you win a prize,
10:25but any time one devil comes up,
10:27you lose.
10:28Here is the first prize
10:30for which you'll be spinning.
10:31A camping outfit,
10:33including tent,
10:34lantern,
10:34heater,
10:35convertible cooler,
10:35two-burner stove,
10:36and king-size sleeping bag for two.
10:40All right,
10:40three jokers will get that for you.
10:42A devil loses it.
10:43Spin,
10:43and good luck.
10:46Joker,
10:47Joker,
10:48Joker,
10:49that's prize number one.
10:55You've got that so far.
10:57Now,
10:57here's the second prize.
10:58You're going to have to take a risk
10:58if you want to go on,
10:59but here's the second prize
11:00for which you may spin
11:01if you want to.
11:02A weekend at Murrieta Hot Springs
11:04on the sun-drenched slopes
11:05of Riverside County, California.
11:07World-famous

11:12superb cuisine,
11:13entertainment,
11:13and recreation for all.
11:15I want to point out to you, Mary,
11:16that you can quit right now
11:18if you want.
11:18You don't have to go on,
11:19but if you do go on
11:20and if a devil comes up,
11:21you would lose both prizes.
11:23On the other hand,
11:23you can go on for three times.
11:25Lovely prizes in store.
11:26What do you want to do?
11:27Do you want to quit?
11:27Do you want to go on?
11:28Go on.
11:28Go on.
11:29Go on.
11:30Go on.
11:30Go on.
11:31Go on.
11:31All right,
11:32spin.
11:32Let's see what happens.
11:35Joker,
11:36Joker,
11:37Joker.
11:38Joker.
11:38Now you have two beautiful prizes,
11:45and here is the third and final prize,
11:48which you may want to take a risk for.
11:49Johnny, what is it?
11:51Jack, it's our treasure chest of prizes.
11:54In addition to a sewing machine worth $250,
11:57carpeting for $280,
11:59a sofa worth $350,
12:01a portable washer and dryer for almost $400,
12:04a refrigerator freezer worth over $500,
12:08dining furniture worth $700,
12:10and the Joker is adding a beautiful tap and gas range
12:14worth over $355,
12:17and twin straddle loungers worth in excess of $550
12:22to make this week's Jamboree a total value of over $3,300.
12:28Oh, boy,
12:33do you have a decision now.
12:34You could quit right now.
12:35That's your choice,
12:36and you have those two beautiful prizes,
12:38or you go on.
12:38If you go on,
12:39and if a devil comes up,
12:40you lose all three of them.
12:42What do you want to do?
12:43Go on.
12:44Go on.
12:46I will.
12:48I'll go on.
12:49She wants to go.
12:50You were lucky.
12:50You got the three jokers.
12:51Maybe you'll be lucky enough to avoid the devil.
12:53We surely hope so.
12:54Spin and good luck.
12:55Joker.
12:59Joker.
13:00She did it.
13:08Boy, there's a little lady who really is lucky.
13:11Are you lucky in all things in life?
13:12No, no, no.
13:15No.
13:19Thank you very much.
13:19You certainly have been lucky so far.
13:21You have thousands of dollars worth of prizes,
13:23and you have $500 in cash.
13:25Now you have a big decision to make.
13:28You can quit right now,
13:29and that's all yours,
13:30but if you go on,
13:31and if you lose,
13:32you keep the prizes.
13:33Nobody's ever going to take those away from you,
13:35but you would lose the $500 that you have won.
13:38However, if you go on and win two more games,
13:41you would break the joker's jackpot.
13:43In the joker's jackpot right now,
13:44we're all the way down to the bottom
13:46after someone just took home all the thousands yesterday,
13:48the day before yesterday.
13:49We now have $2,500.
13:52But in addition to that,
13:54if you should break the joker's jackpot,
13:56you would also win this elegant prize.
13:59Johnny?
13:59It's the 1973 Vega Cam Back Wagon,
14:03the little wagon that does everything well.
14:04It handles more like a sports car than a station wagon,
14:07and above all,
14:07it's inexpensive to buy and operate.
14:11Now it's your choice.
14:13Do you risk your $500 and go on,
14:15or do you quit right now?
14:17Do you go on or quit?
14:22I'll keep going.
14:24Don't listen to them.
14:25You're a very nervous girl.
14:26What do you want to do?
14:27You do want to go on?
14:30I have to tell you,
14:31she is shaking.
14:32She said,
14:33I want to go on.
14:33This is fun.
14:35All right.
14:37In order for her,
14:38in order for her to go on,
14:40we need another player.
14:41So, Johnny,
14:42would you tell us
14:42who's going to play next?
14:44I sure will, Jack.
14:45Let's welcome a man
14:46who has lived in many different places
14:48because his father was in the Air Force.

19:34sufficient time
19:34to play a complete
19:36full round.
19:38So, Mary Osborne,
19:39I have to ask you,
19:39do you think
19:40you are composed enough
19:41that you could come back
19:42to our next program
19:43and play this off?
19:45Yeah.
19:45Yes, I am composed.
19:49I was worried for a while.
19:50You know, I always like
19:50to hear you say it
19:51rather than shake your head
19:52because I'm not sure
19:53that you're still with us.
19:54I'm here.
19:55You're all there.
19:56You will be able
19:57to make it all right.
19:58Very good.
19:59And as for you, Herbert,
20:00you have $400 at the moment.
20:01You are in the lead.
20:02We've got another round
20:03or so to play.
20:04Can you come back
20:04to our next program?
20:05Yes, I can.
20:05Very good.
20:06When you come back,
20:06we'll pick the score
20:07up right as it is,
20:07$300 to $400.

20:19as she has been in the past,
20:21who knows what she can pull.
