- This is the closing theme music to the CBS version of the U.S. game show "The Joker's Wild" used from 1974 to 1975. It was also the closing theme during the first syndicated season in 1977. Both versions were hosted by Jack Barry. This music is titled "Joker's Jive" and was written by Alan Thicke.

This was the best jokers wild theme by far.

100% in agreement. I had always thought this was a Hal Hidey version, though. I didn't realize it was Alan Thicke's.
For the '77-'78 syndicated season, "The Savers" was used as the opening theme and "Joker's Jive" was used as the closing theme for this.
I love the way the Hammond Organ weaves with the synthesizers on this tune. Awesome!
This is the best "The Joker's Wild" theme by far! Alan Thicke is a MUSICAL GENIUS!!!
This is the closing theme music to the final "The Joker's Wild" season on CBS, from 1974 to 1975. It was also the closing theme during the 1977-1978 season (the first in syndication). The music is titled "Joker's Jive" and is composed by Alan Thicke. R.I.P. Alan Thicke (1947-2016)
If I was to bring back The Joker’s Wild I use this theme for its closing
RIP Alan Thicke
"The joker's-wild is a jack-barry production now stay-tuned for the price is right next over most of these cbs-stations this is johnny-jacobs saying so-long from the joker's wild".
Long live the ‘70s.
This is Rohan Padiyar speaking. “The Joker’s Wild is a Sony Pictures Television Production.
The Joker’s Wild should bring this back, with the 1978-1986 cues, with the remixed The Savers theme, and the original set, and the 1990-1991 logo. How about Joel McHale as host with Jim Thornton or Pat Sajak as announcer? That would be good.
I love this song
A big band adaptation of "Joker Jive" was used as a prize cue (usually a car) on Barry & Enright's short-lived "Blank Check." on NBC, the first Jack Barry show on NBC since he was forced to sell "Concentration" and "Tic-Tac-Dough" to NBC after the "Twenty-One" scandals. He re-purchased "Tic-Tac-Dough," but NBC would not part with "Concentration," nor will they thanks to royalties that still pour in from computer and board game versions.
The Joker’s Wild is a Jack Barry Dan Enright Production
WOR-TV after Bowling For Dollars at 7:30 PM!
WLKY from 1977-81 and again from 1984-86, WAVE 3 from 1981-84, WTVQ from 1977-81 and WLEX during 1981.
@@danalong1237 you must be from KY originally.
@MINESWEEP2k YES! The Joker's Jive IS better than the Hidey remake! As a matter of fact, I heard that the Joker's Wild was joining the GSN network in April of- WHAT YEAR WAS IT- 1998 (?), THIS is what I expected to hear. No, The Savers played, and I sat there in shock- I already 'knew' the song! But yes, THIS is better.
Are you kidding me? This makes Bob Dylan sound like Luciano Pavarotti.
@joker72fanatic There may not be any "jive" in it, but guess what: when you write a piece of music people want to hear a thire of a century (33 YEARS) after it';s lst television use..? It doesn't need any jive, and for sounding "sad," not even a litle bit.
@saml760
Thanks for re-stating what I have in the description.
As if there weren't already enough reasons not to like Alan Thicke.
and the 1st syndie season opened every episode w/ the 1972 theme "The Savers" and closed every episode out w/ the 1974 theme "Joker's Jive."
this theme is called,"Joker's Jive" and it was composed by Alan Thicke.
0:26 thanks for watching we will see you tomorrow bye bye
no this theme song you hear ("Joker's Jive) lasted from 1974-75 on the CBS version and only used as the 1st season closing theme of the syndie-era (1977-78).
BTW, I liked this rare cut of the Joker's Jive theme song used at the beginning of the theme.
@RJSchex I thought that was a CBS ep. Thanks for the heads-up! I thought I saw another 1974-75 season ep. soemwhere before.
@Hondo20132
I think I already stated all of that in the title and description of this video.
@Hondo20132
Wasn't "The Savers" still used as the opening theme during the '74-'75 CBS season?
No, @operator35. The Savers was used only from 1972-1974. It was also the opening theme for the 1977-1978 season (the first in syndication).
@operator35, Joker’s Jive was used as the closing theme for the ‘74-‘75 season (the final on CBS).
The opening theme for The Joker's Wild called "Joker's Jive" for the '74-'75 season starts at 0:26.
@MINESWEEP2k Did you mean the last opening theme of the last show of The (Cullen-hosted) Joker's Wild? The whistling remake of "The Savers"?
Isn't the 74-75 season the season they dropped the JOker's Jackpot and replaced that with face the devil?
I liked only the jokers being lit up on the board
Is this theme out on any album? I have been looking for it since forever.
Where can I get this theme music, and theme music to other game shows? Would be so cool to have all this on a CD!! lemme know!
@megamanj2004X Definitely CBS. Notice that during the CBS run, the red light borders surrounding the wheels (which had 46 bulbs each, increased to 102 each for 1977) had phantom black lines in the background.
I don't understand why Alan Thicke would call the end theme "Joker's Jive". There's just no "jive" in it. It just sounds sad. I think that the show had one of the saddest finales when it went off the air on CBS. The lights going out and the music was, in my opinion, made it sad.
Operator35 when did they start using Jokers jive as the opening theme to The Jokers wild
I'm not 100% sure, but maybe someone else out there can answer that question.
They started using "The Joker's Jive" for both the opening and the closing in September 1974, when the show began its third season on CBS.
@@binhkhoiluuuc1718 Thank you for that info.
@@binhkhoiluuuc1718 they started using The Jokers jive Theme for both opening and the closing in October 1974
The pic @ 1:29, was that from a 1974-75 CBS TJW episode by any chance?
I noticed that most of the syndie 1977-78 eps. have Jack Barry using the Sony G-T mic, while the bulk of the final season CBS eps. seem to use the thick metal mic (the same one used by Monty Hall on LMaD and Dennis James on the Nighttime TPiR).
Wasn't that theme song used later than 1977?
Yes it was
Bill Cullen was a good host on this show,but his vitality was waning due to poor health.
No, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! killed everything in sight - Joker, Tic-Tac-Dough, Family Feud, among others.
What...the...fu.ck....wss this?
