Summary
This program was taped off the air by Andy Warhol for
his private research and entertainment. It is part of
the Warhol FoundationÕs donation to the Museum of the
artistÕs complete television collection. One in this
series of game shows, hosted by Alex Trebek, in which
two contestants compete by answering trivia questions
and rolling a set of dice in order to win cash and
prizes. Co-host Ruta Lee assists contestants by rolling
the dice. In this episode, a contestant named Sand wins
two games, earning over $12,000 in cash and prizes. She
