Host: Monty Hall
Announcer: Brian Cummings

FIRST TRADER: Susan Morgan (Buffalo Bills linebacker, actually from Utica)

Would you like $5,000 worth of scrap iron?

Sure, she would

She’d even take it in tuna. Actually we were thinking something else…A Chevrolet Chevette 2 Dr. Coupe. Brian gives the price up front and that’s not a mistake. Once Susan has heard the full description, she now has to remember the exact price.

Her guess: $6,500
ARP: $6,288

At least four audience members say they knew it. They won’t get cars and 40 other members are getting a lie detector test instead. Without a car for herself, Monty gives her $100 for a bus ride.

Oops, he forgot to give Susan that $100? While we’re at it, if she can remember the price of that Chevette now, she’ll win…another $100. Susan gets it right!

Well, we’re STILL not done with this car yet

NEXT PLAYER: Steve and Barbara Casort (he’s wearing hard hat with nurses uniform, she’s a butterfly bursting out of a cocoon)

The price of that Chevy hasn’t changed, but that’s not gonna help them this time. Pricing all of these items will, within $10

Ronson Kleenol Spot Remover Kit4.89
True Value E-Z Kare Latex Paint (1 gal.)15.00

West Bend Electric Wok39.22

Before we add it up, let’s give the Casorts a sure thing. It’s a La-Z-Boy Signature II Sleeper Sofa and Sharp 19″ TV. ($1,698) Steve says “Ring up the Total.”

The wok was the fatal blow! Monty suggest hitching a ride with Susan, but they prefer home in Santa Barbara. The $100 will be for dinner this time.

We’re giving the Chevette a break as Brian brings a big gift certificate. That’s big size-wise, but value wise?

CURRENT OWNER: Donna Katzen (student nurse with mop head and HUGE needle)

$ 1

Oh, this is a gift certificate for Carter’s Layettes Set. (Donna’s brother has a new baby)

$ 1 4

At this point, our nurse can trade that certificate for Curtain #3. A man dressed as a Zonk will get what’s left. Donna, being a mother of five and not ready to be a grandma, takes the curtain? No, Monty I didn’t get the logic. Donna, however, gets…A FAMILY OF BEARS (from California Stuffed Toys)

NEW OWNER: Cliff Roberts (ZONK! Robot)

Time to reveal some more…

$ 1 4 5

It’s a sure thing or Cliff can trade for Curtain #2? Cliff “Gamble” Roberts takes the curtain.

$ 1 4 5 0

The good news, it’s not bears. The bad news…IT’S A PIGGY BANK!

NEXT TRADER: Charlene Pitcher (dressed as a normal person)

She gets the spotted box which has not one, not two, but three items. Monty will pay $150 for each. She’ll turn down the $450

  • 1. Berkline Wall-Away Recliner
  • 2. Welbilt Electric Radiator
  • 3. Hitachi Stereo System
  • TOTAL: $1,193.95

MOVE QUICKLY TO: Karen Slusarski (elk, if Playboy chose elks over bunnies)

Curtain #1 has four items…specifically four wheels. Is the Chevette back? Monty offer $100 a wheel…$150. Nope. Karen gets the four wheels and they’re spinning….THREAD!!

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $7,930

A conflicted Charlene makes the trade. Donna spends less time thinking “YES!” Here’s a sneak preview

There’s some No Nonsense Pantyhose. More on that later, but first we open wide…

Monty’s Piggy Bank alive with cash, just cash. ($333) No one’s bringing home that bacon.

A relaxing Bassett Warrenton Bedroom and Dream Maker Mattress along with Whisper Soft Mills Bedding ($3,419.15) It’s bedtime for…Charlene and her almost-husband Dan. Donna wanted those pantyhose for her four girls.

Gracie Allen lives!

Monty’s words

Along with those nylons, this big deal has some things for just Donna. A Dalton Ladies’ Wardrobe, an Amelia Earhart 3pc. Luggage and…a Dicker & Dicker Davina Mink/Stone Marten Coat ($7,930)

Before the Quickies, we go back to Susan. Before she hops on the bus, another memory test. What kind of car did we have? Chevy is right. What kind of Chevy? Chevette. Right for another $200

Total Winnings: $11,849.15

Quickies: A Scarecrow gets a $100 for an envelope. Could’ve had another $100 except that it had a stamp. And a Peter Pan stand-in gets $100 for a brush.
