Interesting how they laid out the 9 Apple II computers this way. I always thought at first they were contained within the board itself. To think back then how it took 9 of these computers all linked to an Altair interface to run that wonderful board we’ve grown to love, where nowadays any game show board can be run with just 1 ordinary computer
Note that while all this is going on, the group called "Standards and Practices" is on hand to ensure fair game play and ensure that all contestants are eligible to be on the show.
And the host then, Wink Martindale, will be 90 come 12/4! One thing also that I'm wondering-- in the part where it shows the contestants at makeup, did Wink go to that same area to get his makeup done before he went on?
No, Wink probably had that done in his own dressing room. The contestants and Wink are not allowed to be in the same area, with the exception of playing the actual game. If they were in the same area like a makeup room or a bathroom, it run afoul of Standards & Practices and would jeopardize (no pun intended) the credibility of Tic Tac Dough.
Mallory Geller was a Tic contestant in 1979. The show at 5:25 being auditioned for was Bullseye with Jim Lange, which in its second year went to a celebrity format to try to help its ratings but it didn't help.
Along with Richard Dawson era Family Feud, Joker's and Tic were among the first game shows to have contestant staff travel to other cities to find contestants, which Wheel and Jeopardy have done for decades.
And Tic Tac Dough’s West Palm Beach, Fla. contestant search is where they found Kit Salisbury, who would become the second biggest winner in its history behind only Thom McKee (who was five years into holding the all-time record) finishing just $250 shy of $200,000.

The reaction from the warmup man at 8:50 is priceless.
It is Mark Maxwell-Smith
Awesome 1981 game shows special video!!
Imagine going through all the rigamarole of the many interviews and rehearsal games required only to meet fellow contestant Thom McKee! Oy!
Had never seen inside what TTD was really like then, and as such discovered that there's more to it than what we saw on the tube.
7:06, So that's how Wink and The Contestants came out until 1985, I really enjoyed this, good to see Behind The Scenes of the set
The writers always work hard to come up with the questions and answers to them and if possible an acceptable answer to that question.
8:28---The Apple IIc computers that ran the TTD board.

The IIc didn't come out for another three years. Those are just good old Apple ][ computers.

@@seancaruana4209 Did not consider that! I'm sure it was the same way with Jeopardy! w/the late, great Alex Trebek, and is still so w/Ken Jennings.
6:25 is Paula Zahan best remembered for CBS This Morning back in the 90s
Zahn would begin a two-year stint at KPRC-TV in Houston in late 1981. She anchored (Channel) 2NEWS with Bill Balleza.

Do you have the other parts for this?
No
Where are the first two parts?
I wonder if The Jokers Wild was covered there (last days of the old red set).
Three parts--all here.
All edited together.@@cbs8sandiego
Imagine going through all that just to be beaten by Thom McKee

They need to do behind the scenes of $25,000 pyramid
