Card Sharks (June 30, 1987 | #87_0383): Sheri/Bill

[theme music] - You can win $32,000 on the turn of a card on "Card Sharks!" And if you play your cards right, you can win this beautiful car. And now, the host of "Card Sharks," Bob Eubanks! [cheers, applause] - Thank you. Thank you very much. Hello, everybody. Welcome to "Card Sharks." That was the voice of Bob Hilton who is with us all this week. Gene Wood will be back next week. We want to welcome you. We have a beautiful car to give away. However, our champ-- if you haven't been watching, ou

r champ has already won three cars, and she's gonna try to do it all over again. Plus that, she's won a lot of money, too. We'll meet her and her challenger. But first, let's say hi to our two dealers. Here they come. Lacey Pemberton, Suzanna Williams, our dealers on "Card Sharks." [applause] Oh, I like that. - Nice. - Coordinated once again. - Oh, we are coordinated, aren't we? How come you don't have brown pants on? - Oh, well. - Oh, well. - Oh. - You have gray ones on yesterday. - My favorite

pants. - Yeah. I tell you what, why don't you deal the cards, and here come our "Card Sharks." OK [applause] Hi, Sheri and Bill. - Hi. - This is the lady I was telling you about. Our champion has won over $42,000 in cash and prizes, which includes three cars. And tell us a little bit about you, Sheri. - Oh, my name is Sheri Parish. I'm married to a great guy in the Air Force, and I can't wait to tell him about my other new car! - Oh, I know. - I'm so excited. He's calling me tonight at 11:00, s

o I'm so excited. - Well, at 11 o'clock tonight, we'll all be listening. - OK. No. - Bill, how are you? - Fine. How are you? I'm Bill Huntington from Pacific Palisades. I'm a salesman. I've been married to the same fine woman for 37 years. And my hobby is singing in a men's chorus, barbershop quartet singing. - Wait, what's-- what's part do you sing? - I sing lead. When I was younger, I sang high tenor. Now I sing lead, and I'm slipping to baritone. - Well, yeah. When you get older, you slip to

baritone, don't you? - Yeah. A lot of things slip. Oh, yeah. - I've caught myself slipping to baritone a few times already. OK, let's pick it up where we left off yesterday. Lacey's got the cards all dealt out. We were in the middle of game number one. If you win two games, you're the champion. And this is our second question in game number one. It goes to you, Bill. And this question involves our 10 married men who have been married over 25 years. And they are with us all week. [applause] Oh, f

ellas. Welcome back. They're a bunch, I'll tell you. Bill, before the show, we asked these 10 married men, when did your wife-- oh, excuse me-- when did your wife nag you more, when you were first married or now? How many of these 10 men said their wife nags them more now than when they were first married? - Knowing that these are such outstanding guys, and probably, they don't get nagged at all-- the tremendous wives. But I would think that they get married-- six out of the 10 get-- get nagged

more now-- - Now-- - --than they did before? - Are you speaking of experience? - I'm speaking from the fact that my wife nags me a little more now, but almost zero compared to other guys. That's not bad, right? - That'd be nice. - Yes. - Yeah, all right, let's see what Sheri says. Higher or lower than six, Sheri? - I say it's lower. These guys look real nice. And they look like, hey, if they got nagged before, they're getting used to it by now. - But have you seen their wives down there in the a

udience? [laughter] There's some mean-looking women down there. [laughter] Actual number of these men whose wife nags them more now is seven of them! No, it wasn't lower, it was higher. Bill, you win the control. [applause] Seven of you guys, your wife nags you more now. Raise your hands, fellas. Which seven of you is it? Ah-ha-ha. Of course, I knew Bob raises his hand every time anybody says anything. [laughter] - Yeah. - Tom-- Tom in the back row there, what's the problem, pal? - Well, she's h

ad 34 years of good experience. - Of nagging, yes. [laughter] I got you. All right. Thank you, gentlemen. We're glad you're back with us today. OK, Bill. - Can I change that card? - You sure can. You won the question. - I want to change that card. - Let's do it. Lacey's got a new one for you. 6 is now a king. - Oh, I love kings! I wanna go lower! - Lower than the king, 9. - I wanna go lower. - Is it lower? The man says, no, it is not lower. - Ah. - No, he goes back to the king. Sheri, you play w

ith the 4. - Go higher! - Higher, the lady says. No. - Ooh. Thank you, Lace. All right. We didn't make any progress, did we? We'll pick it up again, then. But first, we must do some business. We'll be right back with more "Card Sharks." [applause] of game number one between our champion and our challenger. And let's go right to our next question. Sheri, this is your question. - OK. - We surveyed 100 single women. We asked them, if there were no such thing as men in the world, would you be fatter

than you are today? How many single women said they would be fatter if there's no such thing as men in the world? - That's a weird question. I don't know if a lot of women eat-- eat all the time because of men. I think women eat more because of stress and everything else that goes on. - Do you? - Yeah, I do. I really don't-- I don't know. There's-- there's some overweight people in the world. - How many single women said they would be fatter if there was no such thing as men? - Probably-- 52. -

52? Bill, will it be higher or lower than 52? - Oh, it's got to be higher. Because, see, all the time they now spend with men, they'd have time to eat. So it's got to be a higher number. - Well, I think, you're probably right. - Yeah. - But let's find out. The actual number of single women who would be fatter if there were no men in the world is 21. - Woo! - No. No. Sheri has the control this time. If there were no men in the world, would you be fatter? - Fatter and no makeup. [laughter] - Real

ly? - No. Well, I don't know. Maybe. - Go ahead. You want to talk some more? - [laughs] - She gets embarrassed. Sheri, what are we gonna do? Keep the 4 or change it? - Let's keep it. Let's go higher. - Higher than the 4. Yes. - Woo! Lower! - Lower than the ace, 10. - Lower! - Lower again. No. [buzzer] - Back to the 4, you go. Bill, the king is your base card. It's yours. - Lower! Lower! - Lower, the man says. Yeah. - I love that 10. Let's go lower. - You love 10s? Ooh, sick fellow if he loves 10

. Yep, look at that. - Oh, lovely! Um-- higher! Higher! - Higher than the 4. Yes. - And lower. - If it's lower, you win game number one. No. [buzzer] Wow. Nasty. Nasty. All right, this is our fourth and final question in this game. Someone has to win the game on the next play of the cards, and we call this sudden death. Control is really what you're looking for. Bill, it's an educated guess question. Here it is. This is a great question. You play along at home with us now on this one. If you wan

na throw a good party, Bill, you can actually charter a Concorde supersonic jet airplane. According to British airways, how much would it cost to fly you and a plane full of your friends from New York to London, and back, for the day? How much would it cost to charter the supersonic? - $21,000 - 21,000. See what the-- Sheri says. Will it be higher or lower than 21,000? - Oh, what kind of jet? - It's a Concorde. - Oh. I say that's higher. - Higher, you say. - I do. - Audience seems to agree with

you. - Oh, that's a hard one. - The actual cost to charter the supersonic Concorde for a day, New York, London, and back-- $180,000. - Oh my god. - Yes, it was higher. But you know, that's not as high as I thought it would be. I'm, really-- I thought it would be much higher than that. That's still a lot of money. OK, sudden death time. Sheri, these are your choices. Change the 4, play the 4? If you goof, he wins the game. Pass it on to Bill with the king, if he goofs, you win the game. What are

you gonna do? - I'll pass. - Hello, Bill. She's passed it to you. - OK, I'll take it. - Here we go. - Straight across. Lower! - Lower it is. - Higher! Higher! - Higher, it's not. Oh, Sherri wins the game. $100 for you, Bill. [applause] - Bingo. Strategy worked to pass it on, and you win first game, Sheri. All right, I tell you what, Lacey's gonna start dealing out the cards now, and we're gonna play game number two. Sheri, if you win this game, you go back to play for the big numbers. Bill, you

got to win this game. You know that. - I got to win this. - All right. Good luck to the two of you. And Sheri, this is your question. We surveyed 100 married women. We asked them, even though you're married, do you still wait for your husband to make the first romantic move? How many married women said they do wait for their husband to make the first romantic move? - I'm not Miss Aggressive, and I'm married. And I-- I really think that the husband should make the first move. Once in a great a wh

ile, things are different. But, usually, I think-- I think quite a few. I think probably about 64. - 64 out of 100 married women said they do wait for their husband to make the first romantic move. - Yes. - Then they can say no, and he feels rejected. [laughter] Bill, what do you think? Higher or lower than 64? - Well, I'll tell you, I know that if-- if, uh-- if the women wait for the men to make the romantic move, there's gonna be a lot of good stuff that's gonna be missed out on. This has to b

e lower! [applause] This has to be much lower! Yes! Sure. - How many kids do you have? - I've got three children. - Well, you ought to know. - Sure! - Yeah. How many kids you have, Sheri? - I don't have any. - Then what are you talking about? - Oh. - Shouldn't be bad-- - Obviously, the problem is, Sheri, you're not making the first move. [laughter] Three cars and no kids. Actual number of married women who still wait for their husband to make the first romantic move is-- 38. Yeah. - Yeah. - Lowe

r. A lot lower. - A lot lower. - See, Sheri learned something. I like that. OK, Bill, here we go. Your card is an 8. - I want to change that card. - Well, I don't blame you. Ugly 8s. There's one, 3. - Oh, I love that 3. I want to go higher. - Higher than the 3. You got an 8 for you again. - Lower! - Lower, the man says. It is. - Much higher! - Higher than the 3, ace! - Go lower! Lower! - In order to win the game, you've done it, sure. [dinging] [applause] That's game number two. All right, we're

gonna to take it right down to the wire once again, aren't we? We're gonna play a tie-breaker game to find out who our champion will be. And we will do that. We'll set up for the tie-breaker, and you come back right after this. All right? And now, we're gonna play a tie-breaker game. Lacey's gonna deal out only three cards this time. We'll have a maximum of three high-low questions. The winner of this game then goes on to play for the big money. So I wish you both good luck. And Bill, the quest

ion is yours, and let's go back to our guys, married 25 years or more there in our studio audience. [applause] Once again, we'll asked them to help us out. Now, Bill, before the show, we asked these 10 married men, have you ever forgotten your wedding anniversary? How many of these 10 men have forgotten their wedding anniversary? - Well, I've forgotten my wedding anniversary because it almost mixes up with the birthday of one of my kids. And sometimes, I mix it up. But most people who really hav

e any talent won't miss it. Even if they have to be reminded by somebody else, they're not gonna miss this anniversary. But I think five of you would miss it. - Five of them have missed it. Or forgotten, not missed. They've forgotten their wedding anniversary. OK, what do you think, Sheri? - Oh, that's kind of rough. I don't know. I think my dad has forgotten my mother's anniversary. Well, their anniversary, I should say. But, I don't know, these look like pretty good guys. They look pretty inte

lligent. - No, they don't. - I mean, they wouldn't do something like that. That is the worst thing! That's almost worse than missing a birthday! I say that probably-- you said five would? - Yes, higher-lower than 5? - I'm hoping it's gonna be lower. - Let's see. Actual number of these men who have forgotten their wedding anniversary is-- three of them. You're right, Sheri. It was lower. [applause] - All right. - Well, I'm sure one of them is Bob. Raise your hands, three guys. Yeah, there's Bob.

[chuckles] Tom! Tom! Can't you do anything right, Tom? - I've forgotten that every year. And if it weren't for my sister-in-law, I get killed four times over. - What do you mean? She tells you? - I got to check with her to be sure. - Be sure of what? - What date it is. - Oh. What date is it, Tom? - I don't know. - I see. Thanks, fellas. OK. [applause] [laughs] - I can't believe that. - I like it. Sheri, is it Sheri? - Yes. - All right, Sheri. Here we go. 8 is your card. Play or change? - Can I c

hange that card? - Yeah, you can. - OK. - All right, 8 is now king. - Woo! Lower! - Lower than the king, queen! - Lower! - If it's lower, you're the champ again. You are! [cheers, applause] - Oh my god! - Did it again! [laughs] You did it again. - Boy, you're tough. I can only tell you that. You're tough. Bill, you end up with $100. We have some nice prizes for you. And thank you very much for being with us at "Card Shark." - Hey, I really liked it. Thank you so much. - Thank you, sir. Bye-bye n

ow. Oh, Sheri, we got to quit meeting like this. - Oh no. - Ah, bless your heart. OK, she knows all the rules and how to win the money and the cars. And we're gonna give her another chance when we come back right after this. This is our lady who's won over $42,000 so far, in cash and prizes. And this is your fourth time playing the big money cards. The rules say you can play as many as five times. So you can still win a whole lot. You've already won a lot of money and cars. Now you know that the

re are jokers in that deck that the girls have dealt out. When a joker pops up, that gives you another chance of winning the car. Lacey's got one joker for you, and that gives you at least one chance. But, heck, that's all you need. Four cars, you can have a fleet before we're done here, kid. Let's give the lady $200. Let's see what she can do with it. All right. Good luck, Sheri. - Thank you. [applause] - This is getting to be fun, isn't it? - Let's go. - First card is a 9. - Oh! Let's change t

hat card with number 3. - OK, we will. Suzanna's got a new card. The 9 is now a king-- - Woo! All of that lower. - --with $200. All of it, lower. Yeah, going lower than the king, 3, 400. - All of it, higher! - All of it, higher, now, she says. Is it? Yes, it is. 8. - Ah! - 800. - Let's go-- 400, lower. - $400, lower than the 10. [buzzer] No. It's OK. We got 4, come up here. Give you another 4, you're back to $800 and a jack. - Let's go-- - 500! 500, lower. - Lower! - 500, lower. - $500, lower th

an the jack. 6 is the card. $1,300. - Change that to number 1. - OK, we'll change this one. You can change one card per line. The 6 is a 4. A little better. $1,300. - Let's go a thousand, higher. - $1,000, higher than the 4. Jack again. $2,300. - Let's go 1,000, lower. - $1,000, lower than the jack. It is. - Woo! [applause] - $3,300. Got to bet at least half of it, or $1,650. - You know what? I'm here to gamble. Let's go all of it, higher. - Oh, you're gonna bet it all! - All of it! Why not? - T

rying to add another 6,600 to your winnings. Is it higher than the 3? Yeah! [dinging] [cheering] Woo! $6,600 in cash. Now-- now we're getting close to the magic number. You're at $49,392 cash and prizes as of right now. Not only that, sweetie, we've got a joker for you right here. I want you to come over here, take a look at our cards. Seven numbered cards. Behind one of them is a word "car," and Bob Hilton is gonna tell you about that car. - It's the Ford Escort TL two-door hatchback, featuring

advanced engineering, quality, and value. Comes with an electronically fuel-injected engine. Sheri, good luck to you again. - OK, Sheri. [applause] This is your chance to win the fourth car. We're rooting for you. Go find that car. Ah, where will it be today? [audience shouting] Number 4, she says. - Let's try 4. - All right, we'll try it, 4. - I ran out of lucky numbers. - She's run out of lucky numbers. [laughter] You're the only person I ever met who ran out of lucky numbers. I just want you

to know. Is it behind 4? We're looking for the word "car." If it is, she wins another car. Number 4! [buzzer] Oh, no. Down to number 7 again today. - Oh. - There's the "car" right there. OK, so you didn't win a car. I mean, look what you got. You got another $6,600 in cash, and you're still our champion, which means that it's time for us to meet a new challenger. I want you to go stand right over there where the champion stands, and we'll meet our new challenger. Here he comes right now. Hello,

Lance. Just come in here, please. [applause] - Hi. - How are you, guy? - My name is Lance Roberts. And I'm from a small town on the Hudson River called New York City. - Oh, the little bitty town? - Yeah. [laughs] And, um, I'm a co-owner in a sportswear business. - Wait, what kind of sportswear do you sell? - Well, actually, they are cover-ups for bikinis. - I beg your pardon? - For bikinis. - Why would you wanna cover up a bikini? [laughter] - Oh, well, the girls don't wanna burn. You know, the

y don't wanna get the skin cancer or anything. So they-- they have to be safe. - Oh. All right. - You know, hide a little from us for the mystery of it. - I didn't know that. - [laughs] - But thank you for telling me that. All right, Sheri, are you ready to play this game? Lance, you know how to play, right? - Yes. - Any questions about the rules? - No, but how do I rub Sheri for some good luck? - Ah-- - [laughs] - First thing you have to do is get past her husband who's about 6 foot 7. - Yeah.

- Oh, that's right. [laughs] - I would suggest you don't rub Sheri, all right? - That's right. - Let's go with our game, though. First question. Sheri, it's yours. Here we go. The movies often show a guy in a bar who orders drinks for everyone in the house. That's what you ought to do. So we surveyed 100 men. We asked them, have you ever done that, drinks for everyone in the house? How many-- how many men have ordered a round for everyone in the house? - Oh, that would be so expensive. There's s

o many-- well, I don't know about bars. I don't go to bars that often. I go to clubs once in a while, but there are so many people in there. That would be so expensive. I say not very many. Probably about 12. - 12 out of 100 have ordered drinks for the house. Lance. - 12, well, I-- I don't know. I think there are a lot of things to celebrate, you know. And every once in a while, you feel a little good. You win a little extra money. And then, I think-- - Three cars? - Yes. So I think that, uh-- I

think that number is gonna be just-- no, a lot higher. - It should be higher than that? - A lot higher, definitely. - The actual number of men who have ordered a round of drinks for everyone in the house is 23 of them. You're right, Lance. It was higher. I'm surprised it was that high, though. I wouldn't do that. You can buy your own drinks. All right. Hey, Lance, are you ready? Here we go. 4 is yours. - Oh, 4, OK. All right, higher! - Higher than the 4. Got a 10. - All right. A 10, OK, I'm gon

na go lower. - Lower than the 10. [buzzer] 10 again. No. Sheri, three chance, my dear. There's your card, 7. Got to play it. - Oh! Let's go higher! - Higher. Higher, it is. - Woo! Let's go lower. - Lower-- yeah! - Let's go higher! - Is it? Certainly. - Let's go lower! - In order to win the game-- she does it again. Look at that. [applause] Woo! Boy, the lady is tough, isn't she? - Man. - Wow! You are one tough player, Sheri. And we're going to Vegas right after this week is over. Boy, the cards

are good for you. We'll be right back with more "Card Sharks" after this. [applause] - This is great. we're leaving off right now. We had a good time this half hour. I hope you smiled a couple of times, too. For Lacey Pemberton, Suzanna Williams, Bob Hilton who's been with us all week, I'm Bob Eubanks, and thank you very much for watching "Card Sharks."
