ANNOUNCER: What was developed at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946 that changed modern life?

What document is on file at the Erie County Courthouse that attracts attention from visitors nationwide?

Find out as we all play The Pennsylvania Game.

[music playing] The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Uni-Marts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

Serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.

Uni-Marts-- more than a convenience store.

Now, let's get the game started.

Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, the lovely lady Lynn Cullen.

Hey.

Hello, hello.

[applause] Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, gee, they died down pretty quickly today, didn't they?

Hi, how are you?

Let's play The Pennsyl-- I really am into this show.

It's going to be a great one.

We have a great panel, and I want to get right to it.

Let's meet the panel.

Jerry Zolten-- we've seen this guy before-- assistant professor of speech communications and American Studies at Penn state, currently working on a strange project with the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum, acquiring mid-30s seconds vintage furnishings.

If you got any old tables and lamps, give them to Jerry.

He wants them-- from the 1930s.

Hello.

How are you doing, Lynn?

[applause] Here's a new face, a lovely face-- Chris Nichols, native of Minnesota, where for 10 years, she was the press secretary to the governor there.

What a thankless task that is, huh?

Moved to State College for love five years ago and has started a new business called Another Mother Productions.

You publish a small paper.

Right.

LYNN CULLEN: Welcome.

And Woody Woodruff-- real name is Hilton Lee, but don't tell him I told you.

He's been general manager of the Bradford Era Newspaper for past 23 years.

And he once won a boat on "The Price Is Right."

Not going to win a thing here, buddy.

I know.

LYNN CULLEN: Not a thing.

[applause] We Just have fun.

Let's start.

Jump right in.

Question one.

ANNOUNCER: In 1943, J. Presper Eckert was a graduate student of the University of Pennsylvania and the chief engineer assigned to an important project financed by the war department's ballistic research laboratory.

Three years later, in 1946, Eckert unveiled his work, which changed modern life.

Did he help develop, A, medical X-ray technology, B, pharmaceutical gel caps, C, the first computer, or D, the microwave oven.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, they all changed modern life.

What did he develop?

X-ray technology, gel caps, the first computer, or the microwave oven?

A, B, C, or D, make your choices, log them in, and I want to know what you pick.

Jerry?

Well, Eckert reminded me of drugstores, but I picked D, the microwave oven.

I just had a hunch about that.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, all righty.

Chris?

I picked C. X-Rays 100 years ago?

Too modern.

LYNN CULLEN: You remembered Rankin, right?

Good for you.

Hey, Woody?

Hey, I picked D, the microwave oven.

He looks like he likes to drink coffee, so.

LYNN CULLEN: What did we ever do without those microwaves?

Let's get the correct answer.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, the computer.

J. Presper Eckert was studying the Penn's Moore School of Electrical Engineering when he teamed up with Penn physics Professor John Mauchly.

The two believed they could build an electronic machine that could make mathematical calculations faster than humanly possible.

Their idea was presented to the war department, which foresaw the military potential of such a machine.

And so with financing from the department's ballistic research laboratory, the two developed ENIAC, the world's first computer.

But Eckert and Mauchly were also interested in the machine's civilian uses.

Among them were computing complicated and tedious mathematical problems and predicting weather patterns.

ENIAC was in operation for 10 years.

It was massive in size.

It filled an entire room and weighed 30 tons.

Today, most of ENIAC's components are on display at the Smithsonian Institute or at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Incredible.

It filled a room.

I bet now it could fit on the head of a pin, huh, with a bunch of angels.

How many?

We'll find out later.

All right, let's jump right into it again-- question two.

ANNOUNCER: Martin R. Delaney was one of America's most influential and outspoken Black leaders.

He was the first Afro-American major to serve in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Later, he became known for articulating his revolutionary ideas about improving the plight of the Black man.

Did Delaney advocate, A, interracial marriage, B, restitution for freed slaves, C, emigration of Black Americans to Africa, or D, an early form of affirmative action?

LYNN CULLEN: What did Martin Delaney espouse-- interracial marriage, restitution for slaves, emigration of Black Americans to Africa, or affirmative action?

Chris, what do you think?

I picked a B. LYNN CULLEN: You picked a B?

Yes.

LYNN CULLEN: Restitution.

I have no idea why.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, all of these ideas are certainly-- have been around and are still around.

Woody?

I picked B. I just looked like he would be a man that would try to help the slaves.

LYNN CULLEN: OK.

I try to be different.

I don't know if there was a Republican Party back then, but I picked D, affirmative action.

I thought this would be trail breaking.

Yeah.

LYNN CULLEN: Just to annoy people.

That's great.

Let's do some affirmative action and annoy people.

Let's get an answer.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C-- immigration of Black Americans to Africa.

Martin Delaney, known as the first Black nationalist, was raised in Chambersburg before moving to Pittsburgh in order to study and practice medicine.

A few years later, he became one of the first Blacks to express abolitionist ideas in his own newspaper, "The Mystery."

With the start of the Civil War, he also became the first Afro-American major in the Union Army.

After the war, he left to explore Africa and to identify with his native heritage.

It was a culmination of his life experiences that led him to support a mass emigration to Africa.

He even bought a cargo boat for that purpose.

But his idea proved to be unpopular.

Deeply in debt, Delaney ultimately abandoned his radical plan.

All righty, there you have it.

Although I don't understand-- Liberia, though, was settled with-- I'm confused where Liberia fits in.

I'm confused why you're here, too.

Here you are back again.

Now, I said all the stuff about '30s furniture and an associate professor and all of this.

But I think of music when I think of you.

I'm a musical kind of guy.

This is true, yeah.

You have your own group.

I have an eight-piece rhythm and blues group called Code Blue, and I work with traditional musicians.

You manage the Fairfield-- I work closely with the Fairfield Four.

I'm working on a project with Pennsylvania's own Dixie Hummingbirds, one of the great gospel groups.

Most people know them from Paul Simon's big hit, Loves Me Like A Rock.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, really?

That was the Dixie Hummingbirds.

LYNN CULLEN: Wow, what fun you have.

JERRY ZOLTEN: I do have fun.

How do you manage that?

And you're always getting paid for it too.

LYNN CULLEN: I don't want the word out on that, if you don't mind.

Oh, OK.

Trying to keep that a secret.

What?

The Dixie-- JERRY ZOLTEN: That I get paid to have fun.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, that you're paid to have fun.

Well, don't worry.

Nobody's here.

No one will hear that.

OK. Hey, Chris.

Yes.

I was once asked to be the governor's press secretary.

Can you imagine a big mouth like me?

Because you have to be a diplomat in a job like that.

I turned it down because it didn't seem like fun.

You had fun.

I had fun.

But you know, that governor was not a diplomat either.

LYNN CULLEN: Rudy Perpich.

Yes.

LYNN CULLEN: I remember him.

He was very outspoken, a wild man.

So he had a staff that sort of emulated that.

LYNN CULLEN: Do we want to talk about the Xerox picture?

Only because my behind would not now fit on that Xerox.

LYNN CULLEN: She Xeroxed her behind on the governor's machine.

And what?

It went around all over the capital.

Whose is it?

And everybody-- did pick it out?

He knew which one it was.

It was another woman and I.

It was a contest within the office.

We didn't think he'd ever see it.

LYNN CULLEN: But he did.

But he did.

LYNN CULLEN: And he did guess.

--wrong, which was good.

OK, man, I'll tell you.

Want some fun, go down to the Minnesota State house.

I don't think they have fun like that in Harrisburg.

Woody, Woody, Woody.

WOODY WOODRUFF: Yeah.

How did you win that boat on "The Price Is Right?"

What were you, in the audience?

How did that work?

Well, I'll tell you.

It was a great morning.

I went down just to see the show.

And I happened to be sitting on the end seat at the theater.

And this gentleman, after the show, said, anybody wants to be in the show, please just wait, and I'll pick you out from the audience.

So he got on this big stepladder.

And I was sitting on the end of the seat, as I said.

And I had a big plaid coat on.

And being a big old boy like I am, I stood right out there, you know, like what?

A boil you know where, OK?

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.

So anyway, he says, hey, your name and where are you from?

And I told him.

And he said, hey, I can use you, I think.

I said, OK.

So I was chosen out of about 50 people.

And then you go down and-- LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, you get it.

--pick 10 from there, and I got on with it.

OK, you still have the boat?

Heck no.

I sold it and made a buck.

All right, he sold that boat.

Who needs a boat?

WOODY WOODRUFF: That's right.

How about another question.

WOODY WOODRUFF: I have one for the bathtub, though.

OK, he's got a boat in his bathtub.

WOODY WOODRUFF: OK. Let's get a question.

ANNOUNCER: Carmen Finestra, a Harrisburg native and a distinguished Penn State graduate, had planned to become a priest, but instead, answered a different calling.

Did Finestra make a name for himself in, A, professional sports, B, the fashion industry, C, medicine, or D, show business?

LYNN CULLEN: Carmen Finestra wanted to be a priest, but all of a sudden, he got sidetracked.

Did he end up in sports, fashion, medicine, or show biz?

Woody?

I chose D. LYNN CULLEN: You did?

Right.

LYNN CULLEN: All right, good for you.

And I tell you why.

LYNN CULLEN: All right.

He looks like he ought to be an actor.

LYNN CULLEN: All right, he looks like he ought to be an actor.

Jerry?

JERRY ZOLTEN: Carmen Finestra and Bill Cosby, I think they go hand in hand.

I chose D. LYNN CULLEN: Sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

I chose D too, for the same reasons and "Home Improvement," which he now writes for, I believe.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, I suspect these people know what they're talking about, don't they?

I wonder if it's D. ANNOUNCER: The answer is D-- show business.

Carmen Finestra is one of television's most talented comedy writers.

The one time stand up comic and actor wrote nightclub material for comedian Steve Martin before breaking into television.

He wrote for such popular TV series as "Love Boat," "Angie," and "Punky Brewster" before hitting the big time as supervising producer for the long-running number one sitcom, "The Cosby Show."

Has won numerous awards throughout his career, including the Peabody Award for outstanding achievement in television writing.

Recently, Finestra fulfilled a personal dream by creating and producing the hit series "Home Improvement."

Carmen Finestra-- he was discovered because he sent funny memos around some producer's office in Hollywood.

Everybody kept laughing at him.

And the next thing you know, he was writing and making lots of folks laugh.

Let's see what the score is.

Chris, congratulations.

You're in the lead with two.

Jerry and Woody, one.

[applause] All right, here's where the plot thickens.

This is your first clue to the mystery Pennsylvanian.

I will give you three clues during the course of the program.

One-- born in Philadelphia in 1752, she is recognized as one of the city's last free Quakers.

[music playing] Chris snorted.

No idea.

LYNN CULLEN: 1752, Philly, one of the city's last free Quakers.

They're all looking a little bit pale, unsure of yourself.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Let's go to our next question.

ANNOUNCER: Dr. Philip Syng Physick was born in Philadelphia in 1768.

Much of his remarkable career was spent at Pennsylvania Hospital.

He is remembered for, among other things, being one of the few doctors of his day willing to treat patients with yellow fever.

Today, Dr. Physick is recognized in medical history books as, A, the father of missionary medicine, B, the father of American surgery, C, the father of infectious disease control, or D, the father of pharmacology.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, the doctor was a father of something-- missionary medicine, American surgery, infectious disease control, or pharmacology?

Jerry, don't shake your head at me.

Just give me an answer.

I keep picking D. LYNN CULLEN: You do.

A physic-- isn't that something pharmacological?

LYNN CULLEN: I don't know.

A physic-- he's supposed to make you feel better.

With a name like that, he had to be a doctor.

Pharmacological.

LYNN CULLEN: Chris?

Yeah, I just-- A. LYNN CULLEN: A, what the heck?

He's a missionary.

He's a druggist.

He's a what, Woody?

He's a D, the father of pharmacology.

LYNN CULLEN: Sure he is.

He's the father of pharmacology.

Absolutely.

LYNN CULLEN: These guys are so sure of themselves with no apparent reason.

Right.

ANNOUNCER: Answer is B-- the father of American surgery.

Dr. Philip Physick was a true pioneer who greatly influenced American surgery.

His many inventions and specialized techniques are still being used in hospitals today.

He became famous for his method of removing bladder stones.

Among his most notable inventions was the stomach pump, which he developed in 1811 using a rubber tube and pewter syringe.

It was first used on young twins who had overdosed on laudanum-- a form of opium.

Other inventions include dental forceps, punch forceps used in cataract surgery, and a special tourniquet used to stop blood flow during operations.

Well, bless Dr. Physick.

I once had my stomach pumped.

You don't want to hear about it.

How about another question?

Shouldn't have even brought that up.

ANNOUNCER: The Erie County Courthouse keeps a document in its collection which attracts attention from visitors nationwide.

The document's validity has been called into question several times.

Is it, A, Benjamin Franklin's signed will, B, a marriage license issued to Bob Hope, C, a legal change of name document for Sharon Stone, or D, a notarized copy of Elvis's death certificate?

LYNN CULLEN: What would any of those things be doing in the Erie County Courthouse?

What are-- Ben Franklin's will, Bob Hope's marriage license, Sharon Stone's change of name, or Elvis?

I mean, not Elvis, but his-- Elvis Is that the Erie County?

Whoa.

Hey, Chris?

When I don't know, I pick B. LYNN CULLEN: Well, that's a good idea.

Sure.

You think Bob Hope got married there?

--any of those.

What the heck.

Woody thinks that's funny.

Well, Woody, what do you think?

What do you think?

I figured he lived in Cleveland, so he snuck over the line and got married, so.

LYNN CULLEN: You do?

So you think B too?

Yeah, I think B too.

LYNN CULLEN: We're going to make this unanimous, Jerry?

I picked A. I know Sharon Stone is near Erie, but I don't think it's been in question that long.

Benjamin Franklin, I'm going with a. LYNN CULLEN: OK. Jerry went off by himself, wandered away from the pack, and he'll regret it.

JERRY ZOLTEN: Thank you.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is B-- a marriage license issued to Bob Hope.

According to Erie County Courthouse records, Bob Hope filed a marriage application using his given name, Leslie T. Hope, to marry his Vaudeville partner, Grace Troxel.

Hope, who claims that he has only been married once, admits that the application was filled out, but that the marriage to Troxel never took place.

According to the county's marriage bureau clerk, the document would not exist if the ceremony had not occurred.

Notarized affidavit signed by a former Erie Alderman is legal proof that he presided over the wedding on January 25th, 1933.

Hope says that he was married in Erie to Dolores Reed and not until February 19th, 1934.

Ironically, Erie has no record of that union.

Hope maintains that the Troxel marriage is nothing more than an Erie legend.

Oh, Bob, Bob, I don't know, Bob.

Something sounds really fishy there.

Can anyone get a hold of Grace Troxel, the woman he-- I mean, he's married-- he's living with this woman for 50 some years, and he thinks he married her in Erie.

And he didn't.

He married some other woman.

His career is down the tubes now.

Oh, man, something is really weird.

JERRY ZOLTEN: Not quite.

Anyway, we want to Thank Ron Harmon of Tionesta for that great question.

We're going to send you a year's subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine, Ron.

Thanks so much.

Let's take a look at the score.

Ugh, let's not.

Oh, yes, let's.

Chris, you're still in the lead with three.

[applause] [music playing] All right, that music tells me that it's time for a clue, the second clue to today's Mystery Pennsylvanian.

The British called her little rebel.

And throughout her life, she was known by the surnames Griscom, Ashburn, and Claypoole.

You know her by another name.

It doesn't look like her by another name from the looks of things.

Who was this woman who had to keep changing her name?

Griscom, Ashburn, Claypoole, the British called her little rebel.

She was a troublemaker.

1752, born in Philly, one of the city's last free Quakers.

Griscom, Ashburn and Claypoole, It sounds like a law office, doesn't it?

OK, well, they're writing.

They could be writing Minnie Mouse for all we know.

JERRY ZOLTEN: That's a good idea.

Minnie Mouse is right.

It's good.

Write down Minnie Mouse.

That's good.

All right, he's got it.

What do we have?

Oh, another question.

ANNOUNCER: In 1993, paleontologist Ted Daeschler, Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences, discovered important new fossils of creatures that lived 365 million years ago.

The rare find, which was made in Clinton County, includes bits of skull and a complete shoulder.

The discovery provides further evidence that, A, Pennsylvania was once desert-like, B, fish evolved into land animals, C, birds predate dinosaurs, or D, a pre-Mayan society existed in Pennsylvania.

LYNN CULLEN: Ah, come on.

What kind of claptrap is that-- Pennsylvania a desert, fish evolving into land animals, birds predating dinosaurs, or pre-Mayan societies in Pennsylvania?

What do they think we are?

Fools?

All right, Woody?

I voted A. LYNN CULLEN: You did.

Yeah.

LYNN CULLEN: Good for you.

It could have been a desert.

LYNN CULLEN: What the heck.

Right?

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.

I think in places it is still desert-like.

I picked A too.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, all right.

And Chris.

No, she says, eh-eh.

I have no idea again.

I picked C. LYNN CULLEN: What the heck?

Birds do predate dinosaurs.

I know that.

Do they?

LYNN CULLEN: Well, yeah.

Oh, well.

LYNN CULLEN: Sure.

I think.

Do they?

I'm as sure of everything as they are.

Let's see.

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, that fish evolved into land animals.

The recent discovery of bits of skull and a complete shoulder represents some of the earliest and best evidence ever found of the evolution of fish to amphibians.

The fossils which were found in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, predate the dinosaurs by 140 million years and belong to the oldest amphibian ever found in North America and the second oldest in the world.

The shoulder of this new early amphibian clearly shows a well-developed forelimb, making this animal better able to walk on land than any of the other earliest amphibians.

In fact, this animal could actually do push ups.

The rare find was not a complete surprise.

The Rock formations in Northern Pennsylvania are perfect storage vaults for prehistoric fossils.

According to Daeschler, 365 million years ago, the area was a tropical, muddy marshland-- an ideal place for preserving these kind of fossils.

All right, my lord.

He could do push ups.

Is that neat or what?

Now, the big question is-- CHRIS NICHOLS: How did he know that?

Well, I-- just-- why did fish evolve into land animals?

And the theory is-- one theory is-- is that it was a real fish eat fish world down there and that a fish like that said, hey, get me out of here.

Let's try that dog eat dog stuff on the other-- you know, the grass is always greener.

So he just took off, did a few push ups, made himself stronger, and the rest is history.

What do you mean, how do they know?

CHRIS NICHOLS: Well?

Well.

How do you know?

And how many?

--one of my relatives.

LYNN CULLEN: Go ta-- you know, talk to a paleontologist.

A what?

LYNN CULLEN: A paleontologist.

I'll look that up when I get home.

LYNN CULLEN: All right, please do.

Well, isn't that a dinosaur kind of person?

CHRIS NICHOLS: Sure.

JERRY ZOLTEN: Yeah.

Sure.

JERRY ZOLTEN: Somebody knows.

Boy, no wonder you're losing.

I'll tell you-- here, Jer, Jer-- WOODY WOODRUFF: Well, I used to be a used car salesman.

You don't understand that.

OK?

Last chance here, Jer.

WOODY WOODRUFF: Last chance.

Last question.

JERRY ZOLTEN: Oh, Woody, Woody.

WOODY WOODRUFF: Oh, is it?

Woody?

Oh, right, that's Jerry.

ANNOUNCER: In 1943, in the midst of World War II, marine engineer Richard James was assigned to duty in Philadelphia's cramped shipyard.

It was there that a harmless mishap launched him into an exciting new career.

Did Richard James, A, establish the Jamesway discount store chain, B, invent the slinky, C, develop sonar technology, or D, patent the first really effective denture adhesive.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, sure.

Now, this came-- a lot of time, invention comes from some, you know, accident.

And what happened to Richard James that resulted in what?

Either a discount store chain, a slinky, a sonar technology, or a denture adhesive.

We have a gentleman in the first row of the audience who could use some of that.

[laughter] I don't want to embarrass anybody here.

Where are we here?

Jerry.

Me.

LYNN CULLEN: Jerry, that's you.

I like that denture adhesive thing.

I think they used to use that for holding the big ships in place.

But I voted for B, the slinky.

LYNN CULLEN: The slinky?

Yes.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.

That's fun.

Chris?

I voted for D. You know, this is like Post-It notes.

You know, they were discovered by mistake.

LYNN CULLEN: That's true.

That is all true.

JERRY ZOLTEN: A related discovery I think.

Ah-huh, Woody, Woody, come on.

Well, I figured I didn't want to hurt the guy because Jamesway is having a little problem right now, so I went to B because if he's in a Janeway's business, he's a little slinky.

So there you are.

LYNN CULLEN: There we are.

We got two slinkies, the two gents.

I mixed them up a moment ago, and now, they're both saying the same thing.

No wonder I mixed you guys up.

B, B-- I'd be worried if I were you, huh?

Let's see.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is, B, invent the slinky.

The idea for one of the most famous toys in history resulted quite by accident.

Marine engineer Richard James was working on a meter that tests horsepower on battleships when a torsion spring fell off his desk and tumbled end over end across the floor.

That evening, he took the spring home and announced to his wife Betty that he was going to make a toy out of it.

It wasn't until the Christmas of 1945 that sales of the steel spring took off.

Gimbels department store allowed James to demonstrate the toy in its Philadelphia store and provided counter space for 400 slinkies.

Within 90 minutes, all sold out.

In 1960, Betty James relocated the James Industries factory to hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

Today, the walking spring is the favorite souvenir gift of Blair County visitors.

And nearly 90% of the American public is familiar with the slinky or with its famous jingle.

[music playing] LYNN CULLEN: Last chance.

Last chance.

Mystery Pennsylvanian.

She was proprietress of her own upholstery shop for 62 years and is best known for having stitched a part of history.

That's a big clue there, Woody.

Stitched a part of history.

1752, she was born in Philly.

The British called her little rebel.

She had an upholstery shop.

She had a needle and a thread.

She stitched a part of history.

Woody, Woody, Woody.

I got it, yeah.

All right, all right.

I should hope so.

My gosh, you'll never be able to go back home and hold her head up again.

All right, fine.

We'll go to Chris first to see-- what did you choose?

Hold all that up now.

Hold these all up?

LYNN CULLEN: Hold them all up-- I started with Betty Crocker, but I ended up with Betsy Ross.

LYNN CULLEN: And Pocahontas in between.

OK, you got Betsy-- OK, Betsy Ross at the end.

CHRIS NICHOLS: Right.

It's probably a pretty good bet.

WOODY WOODRUFF: Yeah, I think it is.

LYNN CULLEN: Hey, what do you think, Woody?

Show us your board.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I like Eleanor Roosevelt, so I started with her.

LYNN CULLEN: I like her too.

Then you have Minnie Mouse.

I gave you that.

Minnie Mouse and then Betsy Ross because the flag was up.

LYNN CULLEN: You need some penmanship lessons.

Yes, I do.

I work for the newspaper.

Oh, man.

Uh, Jer?

I started off with the mother oats lady on the old-- but then I went with Betsy Ross and stayed with it the whole way.

LYNN CULLEN: All right, got her on the second one.

Betsy Ross.

I suspect that stitch stuff meant that probably old Betsy is the correct answer, but let's make sure.

ANNOUNCER: Elizabeth Ross Ashburn Claypoole, better known as Betsy Ross, was born in Philadelphia.

The daughter of Samuel and Rebecca Griscom, She was a devout Quaker.

At the age of 21, she was shunned by the Society of Friends when she secretly married a young upholsterer named John Ross, who was an Episcopalian.

Tragically, in 1776, her husband was killed in an explosion near their Arch Street home and upholstery shop.

Following his death, a committee headed by George Washington was said to have approached Betsy about designing and making a new national flag.

Although evidence of the so-called flag committee is sketchy, despite competing claims, Betsy Ross is credited with making the first star-spangled banner.

Betsy Ross Claypoole, who was widowed three times, worked as a seamstress and quilter up until her death in 1836.

She was 84.

Betsy Ross-- a famous Pennsylvanian.

Indeed, Betsy Ross.

Well, we all figured that out at some point.

You know, harkening back to another question, though, the slinky thing, you said something funny.

We were looking at the assembly line.

And there's one guy-- it's his job, what, to be a slinky tester.

JERRY ZOLTEN: I'd like that job if I could get it.

Well, you know, the crazy jobs you have, you should apply.

You would get it.

Can you imagine, all day, you stick it on and bloop, bloop, bloop.

Yeah, but right.

$150,000 a year, it isn't bad.

No, it isn't bad.

No, it's not bad.

And you know what, Woody?

Because you like slinkies so much and because you all tied as it turns out, you're all going to get a slinky.

Yay.

[applause] How do we know what he won't sell his for the money?

That's not a slinky.

I'll tell you what I'll do for you.

Hey, now, I'm going to give you this for $50.

Hey, now, I'm going to start with this, right?

Gardners Candy.

Well, I lied.

Those aren't slinkies.

Wait, but I got slinky eyes.

You got crazy eyes.

Look at all that-- You have the slinky stuff?

Well, I think they're all getting slinkies.

I'm completely confused.

I don't know.

Hanging around you guys too much.

WOODY WOODRUFF: I'm going to sell my prize for the money.

Hey, listen.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Audience, thank you most of all for putting up with this.

Why you did, I can't imagine.

But I hope you do it again when we play The Pennsylvania Game.
