The Show
The show's main set consisted of a sliding door from which the host emerged, as did the contestants, one-by-one. There was also a Jackpot light with a numeric display of its value, and a Pin Pal hopper (see below). There were also stands set up for an audience.
Local editions may have varied, but there were two musical themes used. One was a custom theme for the show's opening and close (with a short phrase to introduce each contestant). The other was played when a contestant hit the jackpot, also used for commercial bumper music in some editions. The latter was an instrumental version of "Keep the Ball Rollin'" by Al Hirt, a song originally done by Jay & the Techniques.

Famous quotes containing the word show:
“Their looks show that they’re for it:
Ash hair, toad hands, prune face dried into lines
How can they ignore it?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“It was the bad ax-helve someone had sold me
“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
