Addison Pemberton from La Mesa, California has built: “A one-wheeled motorcycle”
Pemberton operates his gizmo, which he calls a ‘monocycle,’
from inside one large wheel, while smaller wheels help control steering and
balance. Pemberton, only 18 years old here, would spend his life
tinkering. In addition to running a
company that manufactures sophisticated instrumentation for the aviation
industry, he also restores and flies vintage airplanes.
Bob Davis from Great Bend, Kansas has brought along: “A million dollars cash...all chopped up”
The pile of unrecognizable debris is on display center stage. The government routinely destroys worn or mangled paper currency. The average lifespan of low-denomination bills is only about three and a half years. Davis purchases the pulped remains from the Dallas branch of the Federal Reserve for about $250 per ton. He runs a company that provides drilling muds and chemicals to oil companies. A key component of drilling mud is ground up paper, and Davis thought the higher quality fibers of paper currency would work better for his purposes than ordinary paper. Put another way, Davis literally throws money down a well.
Special guest Rich Little answers questions from the blindfolded panelists in character as any one of the dozens of people he imitates professionally.
Steve says that audience members are “challenging” Little by naming famous figures for him to do, but all of them come from his own repertoire, which even at this early stage of his career is well known to television viewers. Little was an omnipresent television personality in the 1960s and 1970s, appearing on countless variety and talk shows and briefly hosting his own program in 1975-76. He would remain active in the years that followed. For almost a decade he starred in a nostalgic one-man show at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas until the hotel itself closed in 2024.
