The network receives funding from the Commonwealth to provide public television for all Pennsylvanians.
[music playing] WENDY WILLIAMS: Now let's get the game started.
Here's the host of The Pennsylvania game, Scott Bruce.
Yay.
[applause] AUDIENCE: Yay.
Yay.
Thank you, studio audience.
Thank you, viewers at home for tuning in.
Welcome to another exciting game of The Pennsylvania Game.
I'm so excited.
I've got a panel I love.
Let's not waste any time.
Let's get right into it and meet them.
In the hot seat, it's Bond.
Bruce Bond.
That's right.
A 23 year veteran of the radio and host of the Bruce Bond Late Afternoon Show on WINK 104 in Harrisburg.
He's made numerous appearances, but has yet to win on The Pennsylvania Game.
Please welcome Bruce Bond.
[applause] Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[applause] In our second seat is Carolyn Donaldson.
She's co-author of WTAJ TV'S 10 News this morning and 10 News at noon.
My gosh she's busy.
When she's not power walking or volunteering for a cause, she and her daughters can be found on stage in local theater productions.
Say hello to Carolyn Donaldson.
[applause] There is the man down on the end.
John Paul.
John Paul Shaffer.
He's news director and member of the Bruce Bond Late Afternoon Show on WINK 104 in Harrisburg.
I'm not positive, but I think he's in the same boat as Bruce.
Lots of appearances.
No wins.
Carolyn's got it in the bag.
I've won twice.
John Paul Schaffer.
[applause] We have a fun crew a fun studio, lets have fun with the show.
WENDY WILLIAMS: Hershey's Kisses chocolates were manufactured for the first time in 1907.
How did they get their name?
A, from the sound made by the machine that forms it.
B, it was a Valentine's present for Milton Hershey's wife.
C, the calories in one chocolate can be burned in a passionate kiss.
Or D, it was named for Hershey's oldest daughter, who was nicknamed Kissy.
SCOTT BRUCE: Ooh.
How'd those kisses get their name.
Was it the machine that made the sound-- [kissing sound] --just like that?
Was it a Valentine present?
Was it the calories that are burned in a passionate kiss or was it named after the daughter Kissy?
We're going to find out from Bruce first.
On my radio show, I give out late afternoon interesting facts and this is one that I know absolutely for sure because, you know, we're right down the Hershey highway there.
And it's C, the calories in one chocolate.
The calories in one chocolate OK.
Yeah in one passionate kiss, yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: We've got somebody who thinks he knows.
Carolyn.
Mmh.
That was a good ploy.
But I went with B. Just again, I'm not a native Pennsylvanian but I figured the Milton Hershey tie-in Valentine's, it might work.
SCOTT BRUCE: So yes, you used logic.
I used logic.
SCOTT BRUCE: That's going to hurt you on our show.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: Oh no.
Yeah.
But we'll find out.
Maybe it'll work this time.
John Paul.
Well, working with Bruce, I hear, his interesting facts, and I must have been absent that day.
I think it's A. It's the sound made by the machine.
SCOTT BRUCE: Look at this.
We have three possible answers.
Could we have a correct one somewhere.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is A.
[applause] In 1894, Milton Snavely Hershey established the Hershey chocolate company, which first produced baking chocolate, cocoa and milk chocolate bars.
The familiar shape, size and foil wrapping of Hershey's Kisses has remained virtually unchanged since first introduced in 1907.
Their name derived from the sound the machines made during the manufacturing process.
In 1921, machines took over the tedious task of hand wrapping, and the trademark plume was added.
For more than 90 years, Hershey has supplied the world with chocolate kisses, except during World War II when silver foil rationing interrupted production.
In 1990, Hershey Kisses with almonds were introduced in a new gold foil wrapping.
Look at that.
John Paul.
[applause] The man is dangerous down on the end.
Listen, more than 12 billion Hershey Kisses are sold each year.
That's a few calories, kids.
Let's have another fact.
[music playing] WENDY WILLIAMS: Philadelphia native and feminist attorney Gloria Allred has been in the National spotlight for her role in a number of high-profile court cases.
Which of the following cases was she not involved in.
A, the Marv Albert sexual assault case.
B, the Hunter Tylo pregnancy lawsuit against television producer Aaron Spelling.
C, the Paula Jones role in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.
Or D, the Kathy Lee Gifford sweatshop scandal.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK for our panelists and our players at home, remember, this is not.
Which of these four items are not true.
There are one that is-- isn't.
One is not true.
Marv Albert, sexual case, the Hunter Tylo pregnancy, the Paula Jones part or the Kathy Lee Gifford sweatshop?
We're going to go to Carolyn first.
Carolyn, what do you think.
That's a hard one.
I think most attorneys were involved in the Paula Jones scandal.
So I'm going to say she wasn't just to play it safe.
Just to see if she was the one who didn't get there.
I thought perhaps she was too late.
SCOTT BRUCE: I like that thinking.
That's the way to think.
John Paul.
I agree with Carolyn.
And I said, C. Although I really believe now that looking back on it, D is probably the correct answer, but I picked C anyhow.
OK.
Well, you know what, if it turns out being D, we'll give you a lottery ticket.
How does that sound?
JOHN PAUL SCHAFFER: Excellent.
Over to Bruce Bond.
Well, and John, check out the way they spelled Kathy, it's misspelled.
But I'm going to go with D because-- JOHN PAUL SCHAFFER: It's public television.
I know Kath-- [laughter] I know Kathy and Gloria are very close.
OK.
So we've got two D's and a C. You know this personally?
Please.
I read people magazine.
Hello.
Bruce.
The man who knows.
Let's find out if he does.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is D. Gloria Allred was not involved in the Kathy Lee Gifford sweatshop scandal.
Born in Philadelphia, Allred is a partner in the Los Angeles law firm Allred, Morocco and Goldberg.
A family law expert, much of her work focuses on women's rights, discrimination and minority issues.
Although she works with many more unknowns, her celebrity clients have propelled her into the media spotlight.
She was co-counsel and Hunter Tylo's pregnancy discrimination case against Melrose Place producer, Aaron Spelling and represented the bite victim in the Marv Albert case.
She is founder and President of the women's equal rights legal defense and education fund, which assisted the court in the Paula Jones case.
All righty there.
Nicely done.
Bruce Bond picks up a point.
We've got a special thanks to Don Heinz of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for sending us that question.
He'll be receiving a year subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine.
BRUCE BOND: How do you know Don's correct?
Well, we pay him a lot to do that.
I don't know, Bruce, but thanks for chipping in.
And speaking of Bruce, let's find out a little bit more about our panel.
You know what I have a note here.
Yes.
SCOTT BRUCE: You are a movie critic of more than 150 movies a year.
At least.
OK.
Give us an idea.
Last year, what was the worst?
There were so many of them.
SCOTT BRUCE: There was a tie?
Yeah.
There was a movie with Sharon Stone in it, I believe.
The Muse.
SCOTT BRUCE: The Muse.
That was right up there.
Yeah, it was pretty bad.
OK, we'll go with that.
Our public television viewers will make a note.
Yep.
Thank you, Bruce.
And you'll thank me.
Not to see it.
Don't see it.
Carolyn it says here on my card that you and your daughters are involved in theater together.
Now, have you got anything special coming up that we can go see?
Oh, no.
We were on the stage last summer up at Allegheny Highlands regional theater in the remarkable Mr Pennypacker and I was Mrs.
Pennypacker, and one of my daughters was one of my children and then I had like eight others too.
But now we're between-- SCOTT BRUCE: Your eight other kids.
Well, just on the show.
SCOTT BRUCE: Uh good move.
Just on the show.
But we're between shows right now.
Well, that must be fun working with your kids like that.
It is.
It is.
It's real fun.
That's great.
Well, good.
Nice to have you here, Carol.
Thank you.
[applause] SCOTT BRUCE: John Paul, we've known each other for a while.
I get new information for the first time I find this out.
You were born on a pig farm.
Yes, I was.
SCOTT BRUCE: Why does this not shock me?
Born and raised on a pig farm in Dauphin County.
And in fact, my senior year in high school, I had the second place pig at the farm show.
John Paul Schaffer.
Unbelievable.
Well.
Well, on that rather fattening note, let's go to the next question.
WENDY WILLIAMS: In the 1700s, German settlers who arrived in Pennsylvania brought with them a fantasy character.
Was it A, the tooth fairy.
B, the boogeyman.
C, the Easter Bunny.
Or D, the Sandman.
SCOTT BRUCE: Well, let's see.
Kids, was it the tooth fairy, the boogeyman, the Easter Bunny or the Sandman?
We'll go all the way down to John Paul first.
This question just really doesn't seem relevant to anything.
I went with A just because it was the first answer that popped up.
Tooth fairy.
That one's relevant to my kids.
They like that one.
And one you could probably relate to, John.
JOHN PAUL SCHAFFER: Yes, thank you.
SCOTT BRUCE: Because he's so toothy.
Bruce.
I'm of German descent.
My mother was a German.
And your boogeyman.
I grew up with that.
I was scared of the boogeyman.
So it's the boogeyman.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
We have the tooth fairy.
BRUCE BOND: Easy one.
Yeah.
We have the boogeyman.
And I chose D the Sandman.
I figured these poor Pennsylvania natives needed to little sleep on their hands, so they needed the Sandman to come around.
SCOTT BRUCE: See, this is what I love about the Pennsylvania Game.
Our panelists have chosen a wide spectrum of answers.
They've chosen B, D, A. No one chose the Easter Bunny.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is C, the Easter Bunny.
The origin of the Easter Bunny can be traced to pre-Christian fertility Lore.
The rabbit, the most fertile animal known, was a symbol of the spring season.
The bunny rabbit was first used as a symbol of Easter in 16th century Germany.
Boys used their caps and girls used their bonnets to build nests which they hid in the home barn or garden, believing if they were all well behaved, the Osterhase or Easter Bunny would fill the nest with chocolate, candy and colored eggs.
The arrival of the Easter Bunny was considered childhood's greatest pleasure next to a visit from Santa Claus on Christmas eve.
German settlers introduced the tradition to America when they arrived in Pennsylvania Dutch country in the 1700s.
[applause] We're sitting and enjoying that fine video and I'm listening to Bruce Bond going I want to bite that rabbit's head off.
Let's take a look and see how we're doing on our scores.
It looks like Bruce and John each got one point.
Carolyn's trying to catch up with 0.
[applause] That means it's your first clue in the mystery.
Pennsylvanian, get your pens ready.
Here it comes.
Clue number one.
This famous music maker was born in Cleveland in 1924, but grew up in Aliquippa, a mill town near Pittsburgh.
Famous music maker.
He was born in Cleveland in 1924 but grew up in Aliquippa, a mill town near Pittsburgh.
Do you want to write that down on the top line.
If you get it right and keep it right all the way through, you'll get three points.
If you get it right on the second line, you'll get two points, and if you get it right on the third line, you'll get 420 points.
I made that up.
It's one.
It's time to return to the show.
Let's get a new question.
WENDY WILLIAMS: In 1913, the world's first drive in, something opened in Pittsburgh.
Was it A, a drive in movie theater.
B, a drive in restaurant.
C, a drive in gas station.
Or D, a drive in bank.
SCOTT BRUCE: All right.
Let's see if we can put the time frame in order here.
1913 in Pittsburgh.
Was it the first drive in movie theater, drive in restaurant, drive in gas station or drive in bank?
Bruce bond.
There's a bunch of Eat 'n Parks around Pennsylvania.
They used to be called park and eat, and they're from Pittsburgh.
SCOTT BRUCE: So you're going with the restaurant, right there.
And you think I'm making this up, don't you?
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah, pretty much we do.
Yeah.
[laughter] BRUCE BOND: Oh, OK.
No, I'll back him up on this.
Let's find out.
You're going to back them up, Carol.
My husband used to be in food service, and I think I read that story, too.
So I'll go on.
SCOTT BRUCE: We have two B's.
Could it be a clean sweep?
John Paul.
I buy the Eat'n Park story as well.
And I-- you look at the people of Pittsburgh, they love to eat.
[bell ringing] SCOTT BRUCE: They buy the Eat'n Park.
What does that mean.
Lottery tickets for everybody.
Take one and pass them down from the Pennsylvania lottery.
And it's a good thing they've won lottery tickets because they're wrong.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is C. A drive in gas station.
In December 1913, the Gulf refining company opened the world's first drive-in gas station on the corner of Baum Boulevard and Saint Clair street near Oakland, just outside of Pittsburgh.
On opening day, only 30 gallons of gas were sold.
But within two years, gas stations were cropping up all over the country.
This first station introduced free extras such as free crankcase service, free radiator fill ups and free tire inflation.
Another first introduced at this station was the public restroom.
Along with pioneering free services, the station was the first to Institute an eight hour Workday and 24 hour service.
All kinds of firsts.
And here's a fascinating point.
The gas pumps were very primitive in those days, so they really had to trust the pumper as to how much gas they were getting.
Nobody actually knew.
Caroline, you had a question.
I just had an interesting sidelight.
I live near Altoona, Pennsylvania, and we claim we have the world's oldest gas station, Reichard's gas.
So I'll have to verify that.
Well, it's probably the oldest continuous.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: There you go.
Maybe that's it.
Theirs is probably not there.
But I don't know that and we'll have our crack staff look it up right now while they're on their way to giving us a new question.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: I know, I know.
WENDY WILLIAMS: In October 1998, the small town of Donora, Pennsylvania, marked the 50th anniversary of what historical event?
A, the worst recorded industrial air pollution incident in US history.
B, a record breaking snowstorm that dumped 28.5 of snow, killing 28 people.
C, area steel Mills were seized by presidential order to prevent a shutdown by strikers.
Or D, the Polaroid land camera patented by Edwin H. Land of Donora went on sale.
SCOTT BRUCE: Lots of interesting choices.
We've got 1998.
Fairly recent.
Donora was it the worst recorded industrial air pollution incident, a record breaking snowstorm, steel Mills seized by presidential order or the Polaroid land camera.
Carolyn, let's hop over to you.
I'm guessing completely, but I'll go with the Polaroid camera.
Polaroid land camera.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: Don't know why, but-- Guessing is the best thing on this show.
Is that how it works here?
OK good.
SCOTT BRUCE: It works so well.
I like that.
You got a 1 in 4 shot.
Is it-- OK.
John Paul.
I went with B simply because we haven't had an answer that was B yet.
Uh oh.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: Oh, he's been keeping track.
That can work.
That can work on this show.
What do you think, Bruce?
And I can't believe John doesn't know about the excellent, wonderful man Edwin Land for that Polaroid camera in the 50th anniversary this past summer, please.
That's right.
SCOTT BRUCE: Bruce just seems to know everything, which seems doesn't really explain the one point he has.
Let's find out.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is A, the worst recorded industrial air pollution incident in US history.
In October 1948, unchecked industrial emissions and stagnant air combined to create a fog of hazardous chemicals in the small mill town of Donora in the Monongahela River valley, 20 miles Southeast of Pittsburgh.
A temperature inversion trapped smoke spewing from zinc and steel mill smokestacks.
Residents went about their normal routines, unaware of the dangers surrounding them as the fog thickened.
21 residents died and another 6,000, about a third of the town's population, became ill or were hospitalized.
The tragedy would be cited again and again as proof that pollution can kill.
The Donora death fog spawned national legislation to protect the public from industrial air pollution, culminating with the nation's Clean Air Act of 1970.
Not at my house.
The two major industries implicated in the disaster, the American steel and wire company and the Donora zinc works denied responsibility for the disaster saying it was an act of God.
I don't know where they came up with that.
And we've had our crack staff check it out, and they say to us that definitely the Pittsburgh gas station was the drive in gas station.
So Altoona, we'll have to find out.
We're going to try and get a new question on that one for next year.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: OK.
Sounds good.
Meantime, time to check our scores.
Let's see what we've got.
And it turns out it hasn't changed even a little bit.
It's one to nothing to one.
[applause] It's a fight to the finish down here.
That brings us to our second clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Here it comes.
The most successful film composer of his time.
His name is synonymous with great motion picture and television music.
[music playing] The most successful film composer of his time.
His name is synonymous with great motion picture and television music.
Famous music maker born in Cleveland in 1924, grew up in Aliquippa, a mill town near Pittsburgh.
Everybody seems to have an answer or is trying.
And that's good because we have to move on to a new question.
[music playing] WENDY WILLIAMS: This post-world war II builder created home developments in Pennsylvania, Long Island and New Jersey and was once criticized for building, quote, ticky tacky little boxes in raws all the same.
Was it, A, Jack Ryan.
B, William Levitt.
C, Robert Kettler.
Or D, Richard Sears.
SCOTT BRUCE: What have we got.
Post-world War Ii builder.
Was it Jack Ryan, William Levitt, Robert Kettler or Richard Sears?
John Paul will slide down to you.
It was D Richard Sears of Sears and Roebuck.
You could order homes right from the catalog and you would put them-- I love this.
JOHN PAUL SCHAFFER: --up in these little neighborhoods.
Positive.
And there you have it.
I love it.
You just know.
You know, you know.
JOHN PAUL SCHAFFER: Oh, I know.
This is great.
Bruce Bond, is he right?
I have no idea.
I just hit C because it was closer.
SCOTT BRUCE: You hit C, you went with Kettler.
I don't know.
Well, we've got a Sears and we've got a Kettler.
And I say Jack Ryan because I lived in one of those, like in Ohio, where I grew up.
So I just went with a Ryan home.
This is great.
Once again, we've done it.
We've picking three of the four.
We must have got it this time, right.
AUDIENCE: They're wrong.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is B, William Levitt.
The King of the American suburb, William Levitt, made the American dream affordable.
The son of a builder who specialized in swanky custom built homes.
William Levitt set out after World War II to build inexpensive housing for returning GIs and their families.
Three developments bear his name.
Levittown in Pennsylvania, Long Island and New Jersey.
Critics focused on Levittown sameness, the cramped interiors and the Street's cookie cutter appearance.
But lower middle class couples quickly bought up the small suburban single family homes and forged cohesive communities.
Most hardworking Levittowners felt that owning an affordable home overshadowed any shortcomings.
Ah, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought for sure somebody would pick up Levittown out of that.
I did.
But I am not at all surprised, Carolyn, that you lived in a Ryan home because Ryan homes is now the largest home builder in the entire US.
So it's no surprise about that whatsoever.
CAROLYN DONALDSON: I got part of it right.
Just the wrongish builder.
Yes.
But you were still entirely wrong.
That means we can move along.
Let's get a new question.
WENDY WILLIAMS: Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater has been called the world's most famous private residence.
For whom was Fallingwater built.
A, Frank Lloyd Wright.
B Edgar J. Kaufmann.
C, Andrew Carnegie.
Or D, governor Gifford Pinchot.
Fallingwater.
Everybody knows it.
One of the most famous places and Caroline is very excited over here.
I thought I'd get a point here.
I got to.
SCOTT BRUCE: I almost hate to not go to her first, but we have to go to Bruce first.
Bruce, what do you have?
This is so easy.
Of course Edgar Kaufmann.
SCOTT BRUCE: Edgar Kaufmann.
Absolutely.
SCOTT BRUCE: He knows.
Absolutely.
Caroline.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for Edgar Kaufmann.
B. Edgar Kaufmann, Edgar Kaufmann.
I agree with my opponents.
Edgar Kaufmann, three B's.
[bell ringing] [applause] Pass down the lottery tickets.
And ladies and gentlemen, is it possible that they did it right.
WENDY WILLIAMS: The answer is B.
[applause] Fallingwater, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most widely acclaimed works, was designed for Edgar J. Kaufmann, the Pittsburgh department store owner.
The cantilevered structure built over a waterfall was the weekend home of the Kaufmann family from 1937 until 1963, when Edgar Kaufmann Jr.
Presented the house to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
Kaufmann senior had wanted the house to face the waterfall, but Wright contended it should rise above the water so that it was but a slight interruption of nature.
Located in Fayette County near Ohiopyle, more than 2 million people have visited falling water since it opened to the public in 1964.
Governor ridge allocated $3.5 million to restore and repair the architectural treasure, which shows signs of deterioration due to shifting.
[music playing] Yeah.
And if you haven't been to the Fallingwaters, it is one heck of a trip.
I recommend it.
That brings us up to Mystery Pennsylvanian clue number three.
Do all of our contestants have our pens?
Here it is.
At age 71, he crossed that big Moon River in the sky, leaving a musical legacy that will influence generations to come.
At age 71, he crossed that big Moon River in the sky, I think that might be a rather substantial hint, leaving a musical legacy that will influence generations to come.
Famous music maker born in Cleveland in 1924 but grew up in Aliquippa, a mill town near Pittsburgh.
The most successful film composer of his time.
His name is synonymous with great motion picture and television music.
By golly, everybody seems to be ready.
Carolyn what I'd like you to do is stick that slot right up in your slot there in front of us where we can see it-- Don't laugh too hard.
SCOTT BRUCE: --and we will have you tell us what you said.
OK.
Number one, let's see what I-- Fred Waring.
SCOTT BRUCE: Fred Waring.
Excellent choice.
I love that choice.
You know, again.
SCOTT BRUCE: But you left that on, two.
How about Hammerstein?
SCOTT BRUCE: Hammerstein.
Very nice choice for number 2.
And number 3.
Mancini.
SCOTT BRUCE: Mancini.
And you feel a little better about that, I'm guessing.
Yes, finally.
Well, let's see if it's Henry Mancini.
John Paul.
The first one is just, look, I'm on TV.
I'm very excited about being here.
[laughter] The second one, John Williams, till I realized he's not old enough to have been born-- SCOTT BRUCE: No.
--according to the first clue.
Then I too figured out Henry Mancini on the third one.
SCOTT BRUCE: We got a couple of moons over Mancini.
Bruce bond.
Well, my area with movies.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yes, it is.
And-- SCOTT BRUCE: Lawrence Welk's best friend.
And Henry Mancini was.
SCOTT BRUCE: Well we'll have to check with our-- no.
Turns out our judges aren't going to give you that one.
No.
But you went with it.
But it was a really nice try to BS us.
I like that a lot.
So Lawrence Welk's best friend then you went to Henry Mancini for 2 and 3.
So we've got Mancini all across the board.
Let's go back to Wendy Williams and see if he can tell us if Henry Mancini had anything to do with that.
WENDY WILLIAMS: Henry Mancini, composer, conductor, arranger, was one of the most versatile talents in music.
Born in Cleveland, he grew up in Aliquippa, near Pittsburgh.
His father, an Italian immigrant, taught him the flute and piccolo.
At age 12 he studied piano and soon became interested in arranging.
Mancini attended Pittsburgh's Carnegie Institute of Technology and later studied at Juilliard.
He scraped by as a freelance arranger and musician until joining universal studios, writing music for films.
His break came in 1958, when he was asked to score Orson Welles, Touch of Evil.
He scored nearly 80 films, including The Pink Panther, Days of Wine and Roses, and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Mancini produced television music, made records and performed live concerts.
He worked with the best musicians in the world and won numerous awards, including four Oscars.
He died of cancer in 1994 at the age of 71.
Henry Mancini, a famous Pennsylvanian.
Henry Mancini, couldn't be happier.
What does that bring us to in score?
Carolyn, a very respectable 2 points.
John Paul edged you out by one point with three, but Bruce bond with his first win has 4 points.
First win.
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah, Bruce.
That's it.
Wendy Williams, tell Bruce Bond what he's won.
WENDY WILLIAMS: He's got, today's winner receives an assortment of Hershey's gift items, including a chocolate candle and Hershey's chocolates, plus free passes to Hershey Park.
Hershey park, the sweetest place on earth, plus 50 chances to win $1,000 a week for life from the Pennsylvania lottery.
That's it.
All kinds of stuff for Bruce.
But the big basket, we hope you've had a great time with us here at The Pennsylvania Game.
Please keep tuning in at home.
Studio audience, as always, you're the best.
Great, fun panelists.
We'll see you next time on The Pennsylvania Game.
