Tic Tac Dough (1958)--Win Elliot's primetime version opening

Finally, a look at the complete intro to the rigged NBC version! The Jay Jackson episode in circulation has no open or close. I'm happy to report that a Win Elliot hosted episode of the primetime version exists as well. The primetime version ceased on December 29, 1958, and based on the clues I gathered from this episode, the episode from which this excerpt comes PROBABLY aired 12/22/59.
The end credits exist as well, and Paul Taubmann has his orchestra play an excerpt from Jingle Bells in the closing credits.

Wynn Elliot was awesome. He had the most electrifying voice ever. Anyone who heard Wynn's broadcasts of NY Rangers' games in the 1950s and 60s heard the most electrifying sports announcer ever. His signature announcing tag line was "lines it up shoots, beautiful save, the rebound, score!!!!! You had to hear it to appreciate how great a voice he had.

@byrd56 yes, I heard that name, and was thinking: "the host of the American Bandstand..?" Of course, this was 14 years before any of the Pyramids, so I was waiting for him to speak..

NO, THAT'S NOT WHO I THOUGHT IT WAS...

The Original Tic Tac Dough did not have the Bonus Round with the Dragon. The Dragon came when Tic Tac Dough came back in 1978.

This was the next-to-last telecast of the series (December 22, 1958, not "1959"), originally in color. After this, Elliot emceed no further game shows, becoming a sportscaster instead, best known for his Saturday afternoon "RACE OF THE WEEK" broadcasts (for Schaefer Beer) in New York during the '60s, finishing his career with his daily "SPORTS CENTRAL, USA" broadcasts on the CBS Radio Network.

@byrd56 My earliest recollection of Win Elliott when I was a toddler (of all ages) was him was a commentator for a 5-minute weekly (usually on Saturday Afternoons) thoroughbred horse racing program on CBS-TV from the Aqueduct Race Track in Queens, New York called "The Race Of The Week".

The 1950s must have been a pretty good decade for tympanists in New York.
