GameShow produced by Stefan Hatos-Creator/MontyHall Productions for Creator/{{ABC}} from 1972-75. Host Tom Kennedy presented a three-part question to three contestants, and the order in which they rang in determined who answered when. The first player to ring-in got to choose an answer; the two others had to choose from the unclaimed answers. After all three players answered, they were awarded $5 each if all three were right, $10 each if two were right, and $25 if only one was right. The first two rounds consisted of 10 questions each, and [[DoubleTheDollars Round 2 doubled the cash awards]].

* GrandFinale: The last show on June 27, 1975 had a champion who failed to start the chosen car; Tom decided to give him the car anyway, then split the $1,000 jackpot between the other two contestants (one of whom was future Creator/{{ABC}} and Creator/{{CNN}} correspondent Judd Rose). Monty Hall then came out and thanked Tom for the wonderful run, after which a lot of the staff walked out onstage to wave goodbye as the credits rolled.
