Where are you? There you are Right here in front of the hotel, right near the boardwalk And as you well know Merv, ever since Atlantic City built its first boardwalk more than 100 years ago, New Year's Eve has been one of the busiest, biggest, and most exciting nights of the year. Now just about every major star of the 20th century got their start at one point here on the Atlantic City boardwalk and chances are they probably played New Year's Eve on the boardwalk Now that rich tradition continues today. Now tonight Anne Margaret is down at Caesars with a hot new show We've got Ray Charles, the King of Soul over at Harris. Next door at the Taj Mahal is Motown legend Smokey Robinson. Oh let's see the Taj there Oh look at that. Of course we've got down at Valley's Grand. I owned that for one day. I remember that. I remember that.

Well, we're going to show you a rare shot on television. Our roving reporter from the Atlantic City Press, David Spatz, is down in the casino. We're going to see stuff go. Whoa. There's a casino on New Year's Eve, and it will get wilder. Look at the games. Well, they're waiting for all you folks. That shot's for you, Merv. It's your casino on New Year's Eve, wall-to-wall people. I've never seen it this crowded before, and not even live national television is slowing these folks down. You know, Merv, 1992 will probably be remembered as the year of the slot machine in Atlantic City because slots account for up to 70% of the revenues at some casinos in Atlantic City, and the slots are not just for amateur gamblers either. The high rollers play them, too, and if you don't believe that, then maybe you'd like to stick a $25 token in this machine and test your luck. Twenty-five. Twenty-five dollars, Merv. Yeah. And if you're feeling particularly lucky, then you might want to try this little baby here because this accepts $100 tokens. Oh, show us how it's done. All right, wait a minute. What? Merv, can I borrow $100 from you? Oh, no. Gee, I'm here on the stage. I'm pretty far away from you. I'll tell you what. I'm going to go play the nickel slots, then. Yeah. You got change for a dollar? No. And we don't have any nickel slots either. There's four hidden under a restaurant somewhere. I'll find them. I know you will, David. Thank you. Okay. David's back to the casino. Gee, I like what Tony Bennett did. That business with the bass, just the bass alone. No orchestra. This is a song about Atlantic City. April in Paris Chestnuts in Boston Holiday table Under the trees It's April in Paris And it's such a feeling That no one can ever reprise I never knew the charm of spring Never met it face to face And I never knew my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace Till I've really unpacked these Who can I run to What have you done to my heart Here's the bassy arrangement. Violin solo Violin solo Violin solo Pardon me. I can't hear you. One more time, Carl. Violin solo Violin solo If your cat can do this, you don't have to face changing the litter. For the rest of us, there's new Arm and Hammer cat litter deodorizer. Pour it in first, then add any litter. It is genuine Arm and Hammer baking soda to absorb odor, and it has a moisture-activated fragrance that keeps the litter so fresh you won't hate changing it. So unless your cat can do this, get new Arm and Hammer cat litter deodorizer. It'll change the way you feel about changing the litter. While no medicine can stop a cough completely, there is one that in 30 minutes can so significantly reduce your coughing, it's guaranteed, or your money back. Vicks Formula 44. No wonder doctors recommend Formula 44's cough medicine three times more than codeine. Formula 44. Because the fewer the coughs, the better. Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays! While the merry bells keep ringing, Happy Holidays to you! Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays! I've had a little bit too much strength tonight. I'm going to take you down off to the bus stop, and I'll swap you with me to a good home tonight, if not, I'm going to book you into county jail.

Yeah, but don't you wonder what's going on out there in Las Vegas? Because I have a feeling they're having a terrific time too because at Bally's in the famous Four Corners there, they got Billy Ray Cyrus playing and it's pandemonium because he is such a hit. The guy is terrific. He's got a new album, you know, his thumb gave all with nothing but hits. Let's go to Billy. Billy! Thank you, Murph, for letting us be on your show. This is our brand new single. This is a song me and my guitar player, Mr. Terry Shelton and a guy named Buddy Cannon wrote. This is called She's Not Crying Anymore. She's Not Crying Anymore She was a cry when I got lonely She couldn't find a love I told All she wanted was to be Someone that she could call her own But I know I took her for granted Till she walked out of my door Too little too late to say I'm sorry Cause she's not crying anymore She's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face I knew I'd take my place Cause she's not crying anymore I knew she's really doing well now She picked herself up off the ground I wasn't there when I was in pain I was there to let her down Sometimes you know I feel so too late Cause I knew then what I know now Another tear would never fall Cause I'd give up at my own If we could work things out somehow But she's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face I knew I'd take my place Cause she's not crying anymore She's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face I knew I'd take my place Cause she's not crying anymore There's a smile upon her face I knew I'd take my place Cause she's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face She's not crying anymore Cause she's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face Cause she's not crying anymore She's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face Cause she's not crying anymore She's not crying anymore There's a smile upon her face Cause she's not crying anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face Cause she's not crying anymore Excedrin Dual with two medicines for dual relief, a maximum strength aspirin free pain reliever for headaches, plus a soothing antacid for stomach upset from acid indigestion.
