Corton is a Grand Cru wine and appellation from the village of Aloxe-Corton in Burgundy. The appellation includes several subdivisions which are entitled to include their own names alongside Corton on the label. Unusually for a grand cru appellation, both red and white wine is produced. The white wine usually carries the appellation Corton Charlemagne, although some sections can either be labeled Corton or Charlemagne. Each plot of the huge Corton vineyard is permitted to append its name to the Corton on the label. Thus we have red Corton and Le Corton, plus Corton Clos du Roi, Corton Les Bressandes, Corton Les Renardes, etc. There about 22 'Cortons', all officially Grand Crus, but some tasters do not believe that all of them deserve this status. The large number of "Cortons" tends to confuse consumers. Of all the Côte de Beaune reds, the Cortons are (not surprisingly) the most powerful and meaty, and indeed the Corton appellation is the Côte de Beaune's only grand cru red wine appellation. They seem to combine the splendid structure of the Côte de Nuits with the supple elegance of the Côte de Beaune. They take a long time to mature, and typically peak between seven and fifteen years old, although they can last much longer. All the vineyards are located on the sides of a wooded hill, the Bois de Corton, the woods all being at the top of the hill. The woods help protect the vines from winter winds. As with all Burgundy, the producer is the key to quality. Some reasonable wine is produced by négociant-éleveurs such as Bouchard, Louis Latour and Louis Jadot. Other good Cortons come direct from domaines such Bonneau de Martray, Camuzet, Moillard or Tollot-Beaut.

The Corton Formations comprise two stratigraphic facies, an upper thicker fine to medium sand which becomes a pebbly sand towards the base (around Lowestoft, the pebbly sands may be more extensive), and a lower till comprising very silty sandy clay or clayey sand. Deposition by an ice sheet which flowed southwards into north-east East Anglia from central and southern Scotland eroding and transporting materials derived from outcrops in these areas and from eastern England and the western margins of the southern North Sea Basin. It is concluded that the long held assumption that the Happisburgh Till and Corton Till of the Corton Formation were deposited by a Scandinavian ice sheet is erroneous and that they were instead deposited by Scottish ice (Lee et-al 2002)

The Joker's Wild was an American television game show that aired at different times during the 1970s through the 1990s, It billed itself as the game "where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen," and was notable for being the first successful game show (earlier attempts were significantly less successful) produced by Barry-Enright Productions after their role in the quiz show scandals in the late 1950's. Originally, the show was simply a Jack Barry Production, but Barry added Enright's name a few years after. Although it was a Barry & Enright-produced game show from 1977 onward, The Joker's Wild was copyrighted and a property of Jack Barry Productions during its entire run and in the 1990 version, with Barry's sons Jonathan and Douglas Barry as co-executive producers.
Jack Barry, who created the show and eventually used it to revive his partnership with longtime producer Dan Enright, hosted all versions of the show up until his death in May 1984. Bill Cullen hosted for the remainder of the syndicated run. Although Joker is commonly named by several game show historians as the first series Jack Barry was part of following the disastrous quiz show scandals, that is not actually true.
Creator and original host Jack BarryBarry had hosted two earlier series (The Generation Gap and The Reel Game) prior to the premiere of Joker (the latter of the two produced and created by Barry himself), and some evidence suggests he and partner Dan Enright were "silent partners" in several game shows of the 1960s (in the United States and Canada), defying their unofficial blacklisting by the industry. Enright was brought on as executive producer of The Joker's Wild during its final CBS season. Jim Peck began subbing for Barry beginning in 1981, which he would continue to do on occasion until Barry's death in 1984; he would also fill-in for Cullen during the final season for a few weeks in late 1986. Barry and producer Ron Greenberg wanted Peck to become Barry's successor, but after Barry died, Dan Enright gave the hosting duties to Cullen instead. This was the final game show hosted by Bill Cullen. Pat Finn hosted the 1990 remake, which lasted one season.
AnnouncersJohnny Jacobs was the original announcer of The Joker's Wild, which he served through most of its CBS run, with Johnny Gilbert and Roy Rowan filling in on occasion, as well as Marc Summers, then a page at CBS. When the series returned to first-run syndication in 1977, Jay Stewart and Johnny Jacobs became the primary announcers, alternating during the first two seasons before Stewart assumed full duties during the 1979-1980 season; Bob Hilton announced the final three months of the 79-80 season and Art James announced the 1980-1981 season, with Stewart announcing the final three months of that season as well as the 1980 ToC. In 1981, Charlie O'Donnell became the standard announcer of Barry & Enright game shows, announcing for the final five seasons. Gilbert and John Harlan would fill in for O'Donnell on occasion. Ed MacKay, a local Los Angeles radio DJ and one-time overnight news anchor at station KNX AM-1070, announced the 1990-1991 revival.
Game OriginsIt has been said from sources that the concept of The Joker's Wild came as early as the mid-1960s, and that Jack Barry pitched the concept to Goodson-Todman Productions (Which is where Barry worked after the scandals). G-T was not impressed with the format, so Barry eventually continued revamping Joker for several years before CBS finally gave him the green light to bring it onto its daytime schedule (following a local tryout on station KTLA in Los Angeles one year prior to debuting on CBS).

joker,s wild
Each week two teams of comedians played for points by telling jokes on a certain subject chosen by the host, who would pull the selection from a box on his desk. Typical examples were politics or the mother-in-law. When a member of a team was telling a joke, a member of the other team could interrupt the joke by pressing the buzzer and finishing the joke to score bonus points for his/her team. Before the commercial break one of the comedians would be given one minute to get as many laughs as possible from the studio audience. The more laughs, the more points were scored. At the end of the show the team with the most points won a gag trophy of a jester carrying the Yorkshire Television chevron logo. Some of the comedians who appeared on Joker's Wild were John Cleese, Rolf Harris, Les Dawson, Arthur Askey, Ted Rogers, Ray Cameron, Norman Collier, Alfred Marks and Ray Martine.
