ON A ROLL [CBS]: Episode 2 {NGC DEBUT}

[billmcdee]

As a big fan of M*A*S*H, and knowing Max Klinger was from Toledo, and he uttered that phrase often on the show, I'm going to hope that it is true Greg.

[palmer7]

Actually, that's false. The Toledo that's referenced in "Holy Toledo" is in fact in Spain, in the Iberian Peninsula. There is a Toledo in Ohio, but it's not holy. 



Ian, you get four rolls. Would you like to roll, or pass? 

[Deleted]

Roll.

We've got an N for you. Do you have a guess?

[Deleted]

nope.

[palmer7]

(time's up/no guess)


Really? Oh..... well, I have an idea. I just won't disclose it at this time. Ian, the same options apply. Roll or pass?

[Deleted]

Rolly

[palmer7]

(he rolls)






Four and three, or a seven.

[billmcdee]

Due to the possibility of extreme weather in my area later today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday), my access on here may be limited.

Thanks,

Bill

An N. Do you have a guess?

[Deleted]

I don't have a guess there, but I do on the top.
FAMILY FUNT?

[palmer7]

(I facepalm, and shake my head)


What did I do to deserve this? Ian.... you made the same mistake Bill did. You're only allowed to guess the clue you put a letter in! Let's put Family Funt on the board....

[H][I][D][D][E][N] [C][A][M][E][R][A]



[1][O][N][4] [5][?][N][8][9][10][11]


Bill, this time you get control and you get to guess at the puzzle. We have "Family Funt" and "Hidden Camera". 

[billmcdee]

Am I able to solve the bottom line?

[palmer7]

Bill, you get to guess at the entire puzzle.

[billmcdee]

Is it CANDID CAMERA?

[palmer7]

(audience cheers) Is it Candid Camera?


(winning bell sounds, Showcase Showdown cue, cheers and applause)





        [ ]CANDID CAMERA[ ]



[F][A][M][I][L][Y] [F][U][N][T]



[H][I][D][D][E][N] [C][A][M][E][R][A]



[1][O][N][4] [5][?][N][8][9][10][11]



Yes, it is! Congratulations, Bill. You've won the first game of the match. Let's take a look at that last clue.





        [ ]CANDID CAMERA[ ]



[F][A][M][I][L][Y] [F][U][N][T]



[H][I][D][D][E][N] [C][A][M][E][R][A]



[L][O][N][G] [R][U][N][N][I][N][G]




It was long-running, because it's been on a very long time. That first clue is our writers' attempt at humor. "Family Funt", because originally Allen Funt hosted it, and now his son Peter is hosting it. And "Hidden Camera" because it involved hidden cameras.

Yes, that's great. Bill has won the first game of the match, and----



(just then, Mayim Bialik walks out to cheers and applause)





Well, whaddya know? It's Mayim Bialik from The Big Bang Theory! (we hug) Welcome to On a Roll, Mayim.


Mayim: Well thank you, Greg. It's great to welcome you back to CBS. I heard you mention Candid Camera, so I thought I should stop by.


Greg: Oh, that's right. Mayim is one of the new hosts of the show on TV Land. Yes, it's actually made cable, ladies and gentlemen. And, what time is it on?


Mayim: Tuesdays at 8, 7 Central.


Greg: Wonderful. And we'll look forward to watching it. 


Mayim: But that's not the only reason I'm here. It seems that Wayne Brady and Drew Carey challenged you to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. 


Greg: But do we have to do that now?


Mayim: Yes, yes we do. 



(an inflatable pool is brought out while I get a hand mic and have my lav removed, I stand in the pool) 


Greg: All right, all right. I was challenged by both Wayne Brady and Drew Carey to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and I reluctantly accept. Bill, Ian, would either one of you like to participate as well?

[billmcdee]

I would indeed.

[palmer7]

Bring out another bucket and another pool. Ian, care to partake?

[palmer7]

Eh, you took too long, you're going to do it anyway. Bring out two more pools, please. (the stagehands do so as Ian and Bill walk over and step inside) All right. We'll just remove your mics, and we'll be all set. 


Let's make this official. Drew Carey and Wayne Brady challenged me to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I accept, and in addition to being lynched in a public sense, the staff at Mark Goodson Productions will donate $10,000 in cash plus another $10,000 times the number rolled in the Lucky $even Bonus Round. I challenge Tony Lane, Sam Hodkin, and my Australian friend Cameron Shields. As for the rest of you, go to alsa.org and learn how you can donate. 






All right, folks. Here we go. Everybody got their bucket of ice ready? Good. And, pour. (all three of us pour buckets of ice down, the audience goes wild, and the three of us react)


Whoooo!



(I get my mic back) I would..... I would say something, but then the FCC would have to fine us. Bill, do you want to challenge anyone? 

[billmcdee]

My teeth are chattering too much for me to challenge anyone at this time.....

[palmer7]

Well---- achoo! ----- said. We'll dry off and come back.


(main theme plays)
(cheers and applause)

(fade in)
(cheers and applause)


Greg: Welcome back to On a Roll. All three of us have soaked our clothes, so we were allowed to raid the CBS Wardrobe Department. That's why Bill and Ian look like they've walked out of an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. (audience laughs) Now, during the break, Ian told us who he wanted to challenge. You can find out the answer at CBS.com. Bill won the first game, and he needs another one to win the match and $2,500. We've got another puzzle set up, so let's get on with the game.



What three-letter catchphrase is typically represented as "(annoyed grunt)" on most scripts of The Simpsons?




(to make it easier, send me a buzzcode and an answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 27)

*Ian buzzes in (47)*


Ian?


Ian: D'oh!



"D'oh!" is right! (cheers and applause) And here's an interesting fact. The spoken word "d'oh" is a sound trademark of 20th Century Fox. So, if Mr. Goodson will kindly write out a check to them, we'll move on with the game. (audience chuckles)


Here's the new puzzle.

[1][?][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

[1][2][3] [?][5] [6][7][8]





And I must remind both of you, since you've both made the same mistake, that you can only attempt to solve a clue or clues you have revealed a letter in. Are we all clear? Good.

[palmer7]

(time's up/no guess)


All right. Here are the dice again. Roll on, man. (and he does)






And on roll number two, you get a three and a one or a four.
