This is gonna be my very first rodeo at hosting the 1990 version of The Joker's Wild. In this debut produced and directed by Steve Anderson, it's gonna have an added twist that I do not want to spoil just yet.
Bill McDee and Nathan Diniz will be participating in this debut. However, I'm looking for one more player. If you want to participate, please let me know and be on standby.

Thank you Tony,
I am 54 years old, and live near historical Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania.
I have been married for just about 30 years. We have a son who is 21 and who is a senior year in college.
I work full time as an order entry/office clerk for a small family owned business that sells firefighting equipment to first responders.
In my spare time, I enjoy board games, cards, and watching vintage television programs and game shows too.

Wow! I'm very impressed. Good luck to you, Bill.
Let's begin round 1. Behind me is the gigantic slot machine. Behind each window, we have cash amounts between $25... all the way up to $200. And hidden in the third reel is the Joker. If the Joker is in the third window, the dollar value will be tripled. First player reaches $2,000 wins the first round while the third place finisher will be eliminated.
Before you guys spin the wheel, we'll go to a Toss-Up question. Whoever buzzes in first and answer correctly, will have control of the machine. Hands on your signal device... here comes this question.
What song contains the lyrics "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist"?
* You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100.

[REELS SPIN]25... 125... Joker! [FANFARE][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]As mentioned before... If that Joker appears in the third window, the total cash amount will be multiplied by 3. Each correct answer is worth three hundred and seventy-five dollars. I'm gonna give you a maximum of 10 questions in just 24 hours. If at any event if your answer is incorrect, the two remaining players will try to buzz in and answer it. Time will start after I'm done with the first question. What author set most of his book in the year 802,701?
