Yes, there will be many other nights like this, because it's New Year's Eve, we're
on the boardwalk in Atlantic City at resorts.
Where are you?
Come on everybody, let's dance.
One, two, three.
All right.
Live from resorts in Atlantic City, it's Mayor Griffin's New Year's Eve special, Steinberg
Griffin and his Coltonite Ballroom Orchestra, with special guest stars Tony Bennett, the
New York sometimes, McMaster Bestin, and today is the nosebleed.

All right, we gotta get that ball moving around up there
from every dance hall in America.
A song by Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer.

Romance.
?
? Oh, Skylar?
? Have you anything to say to me?
? Won't you tell me where my love can be?
? Is there a meadow in the mist?
? Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
? Oh, Skylar?
? Have you seen a valley green with springs?
? Where my heart can go a-turning in?
? Over the shadows and the rain?
? To a blossom-covered land?
? And in your lonely flock?
? Haven't you heard the music in the night?
? Wonderful music?
? Strange as the will of the wisp?
? Crazy as the loon?
? Cat as a gypsy serenading the moon?
? Oh, Skylar?
? I don't know if I can find these things?
? But my heart is riding on your wings?
? So if you see them anywhere?
? Won't you lead me there?
?

Thank you.
There's a few little Skylarks out here.
I like those hats.
Time for our first guest stars.
They're playing this whole weekend over at the Bally's Grand.
And I'm sure to packed houses,
because that's exactly what they inspire.
They've given us wonderful hit records that we will never forget.
And they're truly great performers.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Pointer Sisters.
Let's give them a round of applause.
?
Hello.
?
? Tonight, tonight we're gonna make it happen?
? Tonight we'll put all other things aside?
? And give in to time and show me some affection?
? We're going for those pleasures in the night?
? I want to love you, feel you?
? Let myself run you?
? I wanna squeeze you, leave you?
? I just can't get enough?
? I feel the real soul, I let it go?
? I'm so excited and I just can't hide it?
? Oh, I'm losing control and I think I like you?
? I'm so excited and I just can't hide it?
? I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you?
? And we shouldn't even think about tomorrow?
? No, we will last a long, long time?
? We will have a good time?
? Don't you worry, don't you worry?
? And if we're still playing around, boy, that's just fine?
? Let's get started, oh, we can't hide it?
? No, no, no, I'm about to lose control?
? And I think I like you?
? I'm so excited and I just can't hide it?
? Oh, no, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you?

Well, we're going outside
the eyes and the ears of Atlantic City
out there in the person of David Spatz
who is one of the great journalists
of this town and friend of show business
and he knows Obed on Merv
We want to see what's
happening out there
There's the front of the building
We're still in tactivity there
I'm here Merv, how are you doing?
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. Valley's Grand
gave us the Pointer Sisters later on
Tony Bennett will be coming from TROP World
Besides them we've got Bobby Vinton doing
all of his big hits down at Trump Plaza
Clint Holmes is over at the showboat
Who's at Claridge?
Claridge has a private party
as does the Sands with the Woody Herman Orchestra
over at
Trump's Castle, Al Martino is singing
about his Spanish eyes, Murph
Well good for you David. It looks
terrific. Anybody coming in the front door?
A few of them are coming in. I think they're heading straight for the casino
Oh how good. And would you head for the casino?
We'll check with you in a minute. Absolutely. We want to see
if anybody's pulling any leavers in
there. You know what I mean? I certainly do. And I hope you will
too. I will. Okay.
Well he talked about, you know, across the street
and that was the Steel Pier and
every great star played there and every
big band and none was
more popular than the great Tommy
Dorsey. So we have his original
arrangement of Sonny's Tire of the Street
which is his best and it's
going to feature from Philadelphia
those little guys named the Merv Tones
and they're going to do it exactly
like the Piper's did it
So here is
Sonny's Tire of the Street
One, two, three, four
Oh, I love that.
Oh
Here they come, the Merv Tones
Here's Keith and Jeff
There's Stuart and Mark and Ozzy
And they are
from Philadelphia
Hit it guys
Grab your coat
Don't forget your hat
But leave your worries
Leave them on the doorstep
Life's sweet
Just direct your feet
To the sunny, sunny side
of the street
Bop, bop, a-do, do, la, la, la, la
In the past
You know that happy tune
Is my step, life's
story
If you dig that beat
On the sunny, sunny side
of the street
Used to walk in the shade
With my blues on parade
What a drag, oh man
Can't you suck in the shade
Can't you?
Don't be afraid
Move it all over
Kill yourself in the clover
Ooh
Only here for a day
Which a Rockefeller
can't be beat
Hold us around
my feet
On the sunny, sunny
side of the street
All right, terrific
Keith and Jeff and Stuart
Mark and Ozzy
on the end there
We can't let this go
Tommy gave us another great one
And as you know, Hawaii
Hawaii, thank you
You're welcome
Hawaii is watching tonight
And from one beach resort to another
Temperature here, 42, temperature there
90, I'm sure
We want to give them a little salute
And this will also introduce
And you can watch them
The Roger Manami dancers from our new show
Love and Kisses now
Do their stuff, we want you
To duplicate it in the audience
No taking
Anything off
All right, good luck
Are you ready? Hawaiian war chant
With the merve tones
Singing in Hawaiian
Ah, that's good
Ta hu, ta hu

I have a red umbrella
That means

How long I wondered that this dream last
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
For suddenly I saw you there
And in foggy London town the sun was shining everywhere
I'd love to have you meet Ralph Starrin, ladies and gentlemen
But the age of miracles hadn't passed For suddenly I saw you there
And in foggy London town the sun was shining everywhere
Wonderful composer Charles de Forest, Ralph
I wonder when the bells ring for me
When someone who's tugged your heart strings for me
When does it come my time?
When does the poem rhyme?
When do the songs they sing sing for me?
To those who say, hey, wake up and feel life
Say I'm ready, show me the way
Show me those arms that say welcome to real life
And I'll stay, I'll stay
How many parties more can I run to?
How many little loves can there be?
And for it all aboard, forget it, I want more
Someone who wants more of me
Like making promises good in the daylight
The thing is, dear am I, where is sea?
When is it my time?
When do the bells ring for me?
When does the poem rhyme?
Happy New Year!
Thanks, Tony. Tony's at Drop World on Micra.
Happy New Year to everybody.
You want a half a pound of regular Swiss cheese?
You want all that fat, cholesterol, sodium, and calories?
No, no, no, no. Not in this deli.
I'm giving you alpine legs too slow because I care how you and you eat.
Yeah, right away. Everything's pressure today.
So I have more than just a headache.
I have stomach upset at the same time.
That's a sick to your stomach headache.
Now there's relief for the sick to your stomach headache.
New 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.
Today's pressures are tough, so is Excedrin Dual.
New Excedrin Dual. Relief for the sick to your stomach headache.
Some of them are only good at subtraction.
I hope you all watch this out because...
Hungers are confined to third world countries anymore.
In our community, there are people who go hungry every day.
Sportsmen Against Hunger helps by sharing legally harvested big game meat with the hungry.
When you go big game hunting with you,
think about donating some of your meat to one of these participating charities.
Last year, this program provided over one million meals nationwide,
and we'll do so again with your help.
Share your hunting success with others and support Sportsmen Against Hunger.
Cheddar cheese, you want all that fat, cholesterol, and calories?
No, no, no, no. Not in this deli.
I'm giving you Alpine Lace Fat Free Cheese products
because I care how you and you eat.
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
Pardon me.
I can't hear you.
One more time, Carl.
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!
While the merry bells keep ringing,
Happy Holidays to you!
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.
While the merry bells keep ringing,
Happy Holidays to you!
Happy Holidays!
Please pay forward.
Happy Holidays to you!
Happy Holidays!
A little romance now.
Come on, we want to see you dance here.
We're climbing towards midnight.
We're going to Las Vegas in a minute with Billy Ray Cyrus.
So let's get that mirror ball going.
Walter Gross is beautiful tenderly.
Tenderly.
Alright, I'll tell you what I want you all to do.
Grab each other by the waist.
You know what we're going to do?
La Canga.
This is instead of passing a hat tonight to take up a collection,
we're going to go right through the casino and back.
Stay close to the machines.
Alright.
One, two, three, get!
Here we go.
It's starting there.
Look at this.
She's got it.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
One, two, three, get!
Hey!
Look at it.
Stay tuned for Billy Ray Cyrus, direct from Bally's in Las Vegas.
You want a half a pound of regular Swiss cheese?
You want all that fat, cholesterol, sodium and calories?
No, no, no, no. Not in this deli.
I'm giving you alpine links to a slow because I care how you and you eat.
I could tell something was wrong the minute I saw him coughing.
Poor Timmy, he was coming down with a cold.
I'll be right out.
Daddy, can you get me a tissue?
Mom, could you get us some vapor rub too?
So I rubbed fixed vapor rub on his chest and his neck.
The penetrating vapors work fast to relieve his cough and nasal congestion.
So the next morning...
Come on, let's grab you out of here.
Hey, hey, hey, look who's out.
Fixed vapor rub, breathe the vapors, breathe the relief.
You don't want to be told what to do.
Put your hands on the car.
Bring your right hand around.
You have the right to remain silent.
You don't want to be judged.
Washington's vehicular homicide was a fine of $20,000
and a sentence of 10 years in prison.
You don't want to be preached to.
Susan was taken from us after just 14 years.
You don't want to live with the consequences of drinking and driving.
You want regular cheddar cheese?
You want all that fat, cholesterol and calories?
No, no, no, no, not in this deli.
I'm giving you Alpine Lace Fat Free Cheese products
because I care how you and you eat.
Well, we know we're having a terrific time in Atlantic City, aren't we?
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.
Today's pressures are tough. So is Excedrin Dual.
New Excedrin Dual, relief for the sick to your stomach headache.
Our wedded bliss could be over. All we have left are two night full liquid caps of these. I don't know.
You take the liquid caps. You've got a big day tomorrow.
Why should you suffer? I'll take these.
But then you could still be up to date with the source of the coffee. You'd be the best boy to be.
I accept.
The power of liquid medicine the way you want it. Vicks Nipo Liquid Caps. The nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head fever so you can rest medicine.
I just hope my coffee doesn't keep you awake, riddled with guilt.
Adam, stop. No, no.
Adam, those are for adults.
Adam, at least you should be alone.
Adam, if you're going to sit with the adults, you're going to have to behave yourself.
Big boy now.
Adam, you don't play with our food, do you?
Adam, put your napkin in your lap.
Adam, mind your manners, darling.
Adam, let's go.
This holiday season, remember, before kids can be grown-ups, kids need to be kids.
Yeah.
You know, Frank Lester wrote Guys and Dolls and Once in Love with Amy from Where's Charlie and Most Happy Fellas.
But this is a simple song he wrote, and it's lovely.
Maybe it's much too early in the game But I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year?
New Year's Eve
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's Eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
That I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You'll receive
But I thought I'd take one little chance
Here comes that jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year?
New Year's Eve
But I thought I'd take one little chance
Here comes that jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year?
New Year's Eve
Don't leave me alone
By the telephone
On New Year's Eve
That's a big question. Well, we're winding down, folks.
Only a short time to go till that major ball drops in Times Square
It ain't at twelve midnight on the East Coast
It's the most unusual day
Happy New Year is what we all say
It's the day resolutions are made to be broken
A most unusual day
It's the most unusual night
It's the day resolutions are made to be broken
A most unusual day
And feeling all right
But tomorrow's a killer
A real filler-diller
A most unusual night
Will it be? Yes, it could
Something's coming, something good
If I can wait
Something's coming
Oh, we're at a party
We're saying goodbye to George
Hello to Bill
We're hoping that life's a ball
Wishing good things for all
Because this may be our new beginning
Ladies and gentlemen, our thanks and our love to the great Tony Bennett
This will be the heart of something
And the Poyter Sisters, thank you, Happy New Year to these three great cities
And now out to Las Vegas to wave goodbye to Billy Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus and Sally
This could be the start of something big
Good old Clayton!
Our thanks to Tony and the Poyter Sisters
To the Merck Talks, to Mort Lindsay
And this fabulous orchestra, the Roger Manani Dancers
Bringing them over there, Ava!
Happy New Year, honey!
Arnold! Richard Speck!
And Michael Buffer!
David Speck!
What a wonderful day!
New year's Eve special
Brought to you by New Action 3, a veteran duo
With a little relief, or headache, but stomach upset
Happy New Year!
