Announcer: Johnny Olson
Celebrity Panel:

  • Soupy Sales
  • Meredith MacRae

FIRST GUEST: Miss X

She’s self-employed and deals in a service. (Wally forgets to show the audience the answer

1 Gene: Is it a physical activity?
Yes
Do you wear a certain costume when you perform?
Yes
Is it in the general field of entertainment?
Yes
Is it something that might go on in New York?
Yes
Could I do it with you?
Yes
“Would you like to meet me after the show?”
Yes (OH-OH!)
Would it be a pleasurable experience?
Yes “You do your show and I’ll do mine!”
Would it be remunerative to you?
Yes (There’s some compensation for her)
Would it change my physical appearance?
“It Could” but for the most part, No $5

2 Arlene: Is it a good idea to have music playing?
Yes
Does dancing come into it in anyway?
Yes
Are you a go-go dancer or belly dancer?
THE SECOND ONE

And Miss X’s real name is…LITTLE EGYPT! The Little Egypt, great granddaughter of the original who performed at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. This Little Egypt has been performing since five, but in nightclubs for about 6 1/2 years. And it pays extremely well…SHOCKER! Wally decides to pay her well by awarding the entire $50.

She went out the wrong way. Should I go get her?

Gene

SECOND GUEST: The Rev. Dale Lend (former assistant pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church)

While attending school for his Masters at New York Theological Seminary, he’s in an occupation. It’s salaried and deals with a service.

1 Arlene: Have anyone ever called you a “swinging minister”?
Yes
Are you interested in new music?
Yes, but it might lead you on the wrong path. Wally lets it go. Since it ruined her plan, Arlene will pass. NOW it’s a No $5

2 Soupy: “You’re the guys who originated turtlenecks”
Something concerned with entertainment?
No $10

3 Meredith: Does it involve teaching?
No $15

4 Gene: Is it a full-time job?
Yes
Are people’s lives benefited in any way?
Perhaps (Let the laughter begin)
Sex involved?
Yes
Families?
Mmmm….No $20

5 Arlene: Do you move around from place to place?
No $25

6 Soupy: Something that I might come to you?
Yes
If I had this problem, would I have a problem?
Perhaps
If I came to you over a period of time, would it change my outlook?
The Rev. thinks so
When a person finishes coming to you, are they liable not to bother with a particular vice? Gambling, drinking, wild wild women?
Yes
Do you deal with alcoholics?
Sometimes, Soupy Passes

7 Meredith: Are you involved with gambling or card playing?
No $30

8 Gene: Do you work with young people or teenagers? (Arlene: “Alcoholic teenagers”)
No $35

9 Arlene: Does psychology have anything to do with you job?
Psychology made fit in to any job, but overall in this case, No! $40

10 Soupy: Anything to do with Alcoholics Anonymous?
No $45

11: Meredith: Do you come in contact physically?
Game Over $50

The Rev. must confess: He’s a BARTENDER. He works at Mr. Lacy’s in NYC for the last seven months and graduated from the International Bartending School. No, Arlene it’s not a milk bar. And at the job, Dale’s Reverend Uniform stays at home. On Sunday, he preaches at various congregations as a fill-in. It’s a way to relate to people he wouldn’t meet at work.

MYSTERY GUEST

1 Meredith: Are you in the entertainment business?
Yes (sounds like Donald Duck)
2 Gene: Are you an actor?
Yes
3 Arlene: Are you also a singer?
Yes
4 Soupy: Are you currently starring on your own television show?
No
5 Meredith: Are you my father?
YES, Gordon MacRae

Gordon’s been doing that “Donald” voice since Meredith’s been a baby. Now he’s doing it with her 2-month-old daughter, Amanda. He was hoping Meredith would catch on, since only Rich Little can do it better. (What about Clarence Nash?) The proud father dotes on his other daughter, Heather. She’s appearing in a movie and previous in a show called “Here’s Where I Belong” Truthfully, Gordon and the missus never gave advice about going into show business. He didn’t even know when Meredith got her first TV role in “My Three Sons”. The girls discovered it for themselves. Meredith said they’d preferred she’d become an English teacher.

Closing: Gene is a Yachtsman. Living in Long Island Sound, he was surrounded by boat races, but only got into it 3-4 years. Moving to Cape Cod, Gene bought a 13 ft. Fiberglas Catamaran and discovered the thrill of sailing against the elements.

He was in a yacht just the other day. He chased his girl around the deck for three hours.

Soupy

Gene gets more time with boats that he did with flying a plane.

The stalling ends so we could get to the real show: Little Egypt showing her stuff!

1984 Let's Make a Deal

LET’S MAKE A DEAL-October 5, 1984

gamespeopleplayed 1Comment

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings

Monty gives a salute to a group from La Belle, France before we start with business.

FIRST TRADER: Susan Pratt (lettuce hair and yellow boa)

Susan like lettuce, maybe she likes cabbage. We have some here in a Superseal crisper. Of course, we’re not talking veggies, we’re talking money. Will Susan keep it or trade for Melanie’s Diamond Box? She takes the box. How much lettuce was in the bowl? $1,500!! Behind the box….a Gibson Side-by-Side Fridge/Freezer stocked with Bright & Early Breakfast Drink ($1,220) Plenty of room for an extra wig, but maybe she’d like to swap for Curtain #2. Susan needs the Fridge and passes. Behind the Curtain…1/2 A CAR (It was split in a divorce)

SECOND GROUP OF DEALERS: Donna Dunlap (maid in curlers), Robert Jeffress (big banana) and Julie Stone (Southern belle and straw hat)

Donna gets $350. Robert gets $350. And Julie gets…oops, Monty’s a little short on cash. We’ll fix that! Donna can spend her money on the spotted box and Julie gets the leftovers. Donna chooses the box. While Julie has her cash, our maid gets a KitchenAid Dishwasher W/ElectraSol and a Genie JetVac ($909.90) Maybe Robert can give her his $350 in exchange for Curtain #1? Nope, he hands her the Curtain instead. Behind it…a Woods of America Rocking Horse. (Brian the Cowboy from Indiana)

Now Julie can trade her $350 (and horse) for Curtain #3. Leftovers go to…Monty. Julie gives ’em back in exchange for… a Schafer & Sons Decorator Console Piano ($2,025)

THIRD DEALERS: Patty and Mark Lavorne (Raggedy Ann and Andy)

Money is going to be spent at $600 a minute. Four items to price on the table. If the Lavornes make the range the first time, they get $300. Each win after that doubles their bank. A potential $2,400 is up for grabs.

First Item: Clorets Breath Mints (1 roll) within 30 cents.
Guess: 40¢
ARP: 45¢ $300

Second: d’Amelia Pasta (16 oz. Box) within 50 cents.
Guess: $1.20
ARP: $1.00 $600

Third: Dentu-Creme (3.9 oz.) within 50 cents.
Guess: $2.10
ARP: $1.89 $1,200

For the Sweep: True Value Harvard Cutlery (3 pc.) within $5
Guess: $35
ARP:

How about spending that $1,200 on what’s behind Curtain #3? No sir, they’re going for the big money! Behind the curtain…THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR!

ARP of the Knives: $29.95 (Missed by 5 cents)

$1,200 it is for the Lavornes.

FOURTH DEAL: Carol McCreery (cowboy)

Is Carol a generous lady? She’ll have to give one of these items away. A bunch of bills with a $10 up front OR a fancy ring

Mita Lubliner (bride)

And Mita is married but never had a ring. Carol gives it to her. Now she can give the money pack away for Curtain #2? She’s keeping the money. Behind the curtain…DAYS OF THE WEEK WHEELBARROWS.

Opening the plastic, there’s 60 ten-dollar bills.
60 X 10 = $600

And what about Mita? Is she generous enough to give the ring back to Monty? He’s willing to give her the comet box in return. Mita says “I Do” to the ring. She turned down…a Speed Queen Washer/Dryer. ($999.90) Now about that ring…it’s from Zirconia Fine Jewelry 14k gold solitaire and 2 kt. zirconia Value: $175

“I’ll tell everyone it’s real”

Mita’s plan for her husband
JULIE$2,025
SUSAN$1,220
PATTY & MARK$1,200
DONNA$909.90
CAROL$600
ROBERT$350
MITA$175

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $8,347

Julie and Susan are in.

It’s a Homemaker’s Package: a Litton Go-Anywhere Microwave and Ovenware plus Alcas Cutco Cutlery ($818) And it goes to…Neither!

Monty’s Cookie Jar is back and it’s pretty good…$2,123. Julie can use it for UC Santa Cruz to study literature. Susan’s, however, has does even better with…

First we have Galaxy Ariba Carpeting (50 sq. yds.),. Perfect for under a Jules Seltzer Living Room Suite and Sharp 25″ TV. Yet, Susan still regrets trading that refrigerator she really needed. Well, this might help. Remember the crisper she traded to get the fridge? Monty gives her a check worth the same amount that was inside…$1,500! ($8,347)

Total Winnings: $13,704.90

Quicke: Bill Veerman (New Jersey Hat) is offered $200 for a hunting license. Nope! Fishing license? Nope! Marriage license? NO! Driver’s license. Yes, that’s $100.

1968 Arlene Francis Gene Rayburn Johnny Olson Meredith MacRae Soupy Sales Wally Bruner What's My Line?

WHAT’S MY LINE?-2nd Taped Episode (Aired Sep. 10 1968)

gamespeopleplayed 0Comment

Host: Wally Bruner
Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

  • Soupy Sales
  • Meredith MacRae
  • Gene Rayburn
  • Arlene Francis

And I tell you, Arlene, it’s much better being here than Saigon.

Wally’s intro, with no context (Why’d you delete the panelists intros, Buzzr??!)

FIRST GUEST: Esteene Del Rio (Chicago, IL)

Some strong whistling as Esteene signed in. She’s self-employed and deals with a product.

Gene: Does what you do bely your physical appearance?
Yes
Would I come to you?
Yes
Would it make me happy?
Yes
Would it cost me a great deal of money?
No $5

Arlene: Is the product edible or coatable?
Neither $10

Soupy: Would it help my home?
We don’t know what kind of problems Soupy has in his home, but generally No $15

Meredith: Does it come in contact with the body?
Yes
Is it other than clothing?
Yes means No $20

Gene: Are there animals other than humans that use the product?
Yes “I concluded that”
Household pets
Yes
Canine family?
Yes
Is it edible?
No $25

Arlene: Would the canine wear it?
Yes
Wear it on the head or neck?
Sometimes
Does it cover a certain area?
Yes
Do you make raincoats, fur coats or dresses?
ALL OF IT

She designs fashions for dogs, including mini skirts. Selling to department stores, grooming shops out of cloth and paper and. Prices go up to $500, the lowest Wally said was 298. ($298 or $2.98?) Time for a fashion show!

Shelly and Gigi are wearing psychedelic Lame line, changing full-length gown and a mini. Gene decides to help the human model transform. In her hand is Celito, both wearing paper embossed fabric. It’s totally disposable! (The other was cleanable.)

After the break, Wally offers Arlene a fitting for that special outfit; Arlene was more into the dog’s hair

SECOND GUEST: Bernice Gera (Indiana, PA)

She’s self-employed and deals with a service.

Soupy: Is it a service I might come to you for?
Perhaps
A service I’d come to you rather than you come to me?
A reluctant Yes
A service that would help physically?
It might
Would it make my house a better house?
Definitely No $5

Meredith: Do you wear a uniform?
Yes
Is what you do instructive?
To a degree, Yes
Do you work indoors more than outdoors?
Outdoors, So No $10

Gene: He gathers it’s more utilitarian than aesthetic?
Yes
Anything to do with food?
No $15

Arlene: Can we rule out sports?
No $20

Soupy: So it can be sports?
Yes
Is it a sport?
Yes
Is it a sports with both men and women?
Wally’s explanation flew over my head like it did Soupy’s
Bottom Line: No $25

Meredith with another wild guess: Are you a girl’s gymnastics instructor?
Not this time $30

Gene: The people that come to you benefit physically?
Debatable, but Wally makes it No $35

Arlene: Is it a team sport?
Yes
A sport indulged by men a great deal?
Yes
Even more than women?
Yes
Usually a man’s job?
Yes
If you’re not a instructor, are you a lady umpire?
YES

Mrs. Gera work for semi-pro with police departments. She next wants to get into real minor league baseball. And she used to play, hitting 350 footers! You could see her in live demonstrations around NYC with real Major Players such as Roger Maris. Problems in regular stadiums include lack of a dressing room. Soupy says she’d be a good cook because she can dust off the plates! Anyway, Bernice is mostly a base umpire so she doesn’t wear the chest protector. A new one is being designed for her. Mrs. Gera leaves us with her “YOU’RE OUT!”

MYSTERY GUEST

Arlene: Does one find you in the entertainment pages
A Deep Yes
Soupy: Associated with Television rather than Broadway?
High Yes
Meredith: Are you a comedienne?
yes
Gene: Are you appearing on Broadway?
No
Arlene: Do you appear on your own show?
Teary No
Soupy; Is there just one of you?
Now Yes
Meredith: Have you been associated with another person?
No
Gene: Are you Joan Rivers?
YES

And she was afraid they’d never figure her out. Gene has worked with her so often, he’s recognized her voice, despite all her attempts. Exclusively here on What’s My Line?, Joan announces her upcoming talk show. She promises it won’t compete with this show. Tapings start in two weeks. Being on the Tonight Show has been her big career boost. From seven bucks a week working office temp, her salary has skyrocketed…up to $12 a week. Joan also mentions the “Upstairs at the Downstairs” club where she works with her husband. They also have a seven-month-old to watch. Wally gets Joan to talk about writing her material. Soupy mentions how few women are out there in comedy. “Don’t get me started” “Show them your Mickey Mouse (watch) ” “I’ve gotta give it more cheese”.

Joan: Show them your Mickey Mouse (watch)
Soupy: I’ve Gotta give it more cheese

Closing: Soupy’s history with throwing pies. It started in Cleveland in 1950, and in those days, he’d whip up eggs or cream. One director gained lots of weight from eating offset. Many stars have gotten “creamed” by Soupy including Frank Sintara, Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Shirley Maclaine and Jimmy Durante. There’s also a plug for his 25th High School reunion at West Virginia.

1984 Let's Make a Deal

LET’S MAKE A DEAL-October 4, 1984

gamespeopleplayed 0Comment

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings

36 people on the trading floor, people like you…only dressed funnier! People like…

OUR FIRST TRADER: Karen Fuchs (covered in yarn)

Here’s a yarn for Karen! Monty wants to buy her handbag. He starts with $100, but Karen won’t settle for that. $500 is a deal. Brian has a plastic bag to empty the contents. What would see like to spend her new found riches on? “A CAR” There’s a very small chance there might be one behind the Spotted Big Box (Don’t hold your breath!) Karen decides to wait, turning down…a Speed Queen Washer/Dryer. Comes complete with a box of 20 Mule Team Borax. ($1,024.90) Doesn’t cost anything for Karen to get the stuff back from Brian, but it will cost $500 for the small box. Rejected Again! In the box…her own purse…which Brian put $1,500. While Monty takes the extra cash, what about the wallet? “Take it and Burn it” No, Karen says he can keep it.
How about another opportunity. $500 buys a KFC Gift Pack and whatever else is behind Curtain #2. She needs money for school, so she’s holding on again. But just think of all the purses she could’ve had with…THE LEATHER FROM THESE TWO BABY GOATS!

SECOND TRADER: Bea Ontiveros (workout wear)

$2.89 won’t buy much from her purse, but earning $2.89 is worth a Dicker & Dicker Davini Regal Chinchilla Cape Jacket. One of these five items is the key:

  • Carroll Shelby Texas Chili and Cornblead
  • Quaker Corn Bran (16 oz.)
  • Plasti-kote Rust Not Enamel (Half-Pint)
  • V.L.P. Vinyl Repair (1 oz. Tube)
  • 2000 Flushes (14 oz.)

Can Bea pick a grocery item that sells for EXACTLY $2.89? AT LEAST ONE is there. She nervously chooses the 2000 Flushes. Everyone agrees…except for:

Debby Levine (chef)

Her choice was the chili/cornbread, so she’s suddenly in the running. First,

  • Enamel $2.69

How sure is Debby now? Maybe she’ll call it off for this package: A Berkline Recliner and Pilot Stereo ($1,498) “That or the coat?” Well, you don’t have the coat yet, but you can’t have both. Debby’s staying with it. Price of Carroll Shelby’s stuff…$3.08

You may be Seated

Parting Words

That leaves Bea, but she doesn’t have the last laugh yet. At least we know the Corn Bran was $1.85. Is Bea still confident to turn down the same sure thing Debby passed on? No, Bea is Bailing
Price of the 2000 Flushes: $2…25! Only the V.L.P. would’ve gotten the Fur.

We’re next going to see if it is better to give than to recieve?

DOOR #4!

Gotta check the People Picker: #8

Nancy Schulberg (Tennis Player)

NOTE: She’s a new dealer, but if she’d played before, she’d still play here.
Anywhoo, does Nancy want the BIG CASH or would she rather take Curtain #1? The Sure Thing is La-Z-Boy Signature II Sleeper Sofa and Sharp 19″ TV ($1,698) Nancy wants Door #4…until Monty adds $300 cash. She just lobbed back…

$ 4 2 3 5!

Giving wasn’t better than receiving for Nancy. Let’s find out how it goes for…

NEXT DEALER: Maria Chacon (strawberry)

Monty: Are You Good at giving things away?
Maria: No…YES!
Well, I’ll tell you, she 50-50 whatever she does.

Monty gives her $400 AND the Diamond Box. One she has to give away to…

Theodore Robinson (shiny smock and tinfoil hat)

Theodore gets the box….a Kelvinator No-Frost 16 cu. ft. Fridge/Freezer and an Anova Phone/Answering Center ($1,109.90) Now Ted has to give something away. His current stash OR the pink envelope. (NO Peeking!) Ted passes on the envelope. It said: “You Get Everything In This Deal Worth $1,509.90”

Nancy$1,998
Bea$1,498
Ted$1,109
Karen$500
Maria$400
DebbyHEARTBURN

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $7,313

Bea stands up and Ted rushes up to trade.

SNEAK PREVIEW TIME!

Os-Cal Calcium and more! We may run out of time, because Bea is taking forever to choose.

Bea finally chooses…

It’s Monty’s Piggy Bank! Inside…$376 BIG DROP! This would’ve been better…

It’s a trip to the Bahamas (1wk. @ Grand Hotel on Paradise Island) PLUS $500 ($3,406). Ted and his shiny attire will be a hit. Had either picked #1, it would’ve been a bigger hit. Not just the Calcium…but a Chevrolet Chevette 2 Dr. Coupe AND $1,000 in Cash! ($7,313)

Total Winnings: $6,680
Big Winner: Ted

Quickie Deals: Looking for a Silver Dollar again for $150. We did the Pass Key yesterday. No luck, so let’s try two half dollars. Ginger Radnor, not shown on camera, is still looking while a man in camo is looking for a pic of his wife for $100. Just in time!
