(Clips of Gambit and Las Vegas Gambit play)
Chief: Gambit is a television game show, created by Wayne Cruseturner and produced by Heatter-Quigley Productions and is hosted by Wink Martindale that originally aired on CBS from September 4, 1972 to December 10, 1976 and taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood later it was a slightly revived as Las Vegas Gambit which aired on NBC from October 27, 1980 to November 27, 1981 originating from the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and is also hosted by Wink Martindale and Kenny Williams announcing on Both Versions. Elaine Stewart was the card dealer for the CBS version, while Beverly Malden filled this role for the first half of Las Vegas Gambit, and was later replaced by Lee Menning, So the Object of the game is to get to 21 as possible without going over as Wink Martindale asked a series of questions, usually multiple-choice or true-false, two married couples the first person who buzzed in currently won control of the next card from the top of a deck of over-sized cards the winning couple advances to the Gambit Board for a chance to win prizes and if they reach 21 they win a new car later changed to $5,000 on Las Vegas Gambit which aired on NBC, the show later retooled in 2008 as Catch 21 a similar show based on Gambit which aired on GSN hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and is still airing reruns, but until today!

Kari: When Vic met founder Dave Thomas
He Created Wendy's
He were so caught up when he's hungry

They say two wrongs won't make it right but
It's suiting me just fine
Tea, Rebecca, Kari, Sora, Mimi, Alexis, Iris: When you're out in the town
