On A Roll (CBS; Episode 19)

[dougmorrisontheair]

It's almost time to get on a roll once again.

Bryan Law has two wins and $131,150 in cash.

As you've probably seen in the workshop section, we've been testing out new bonus games. We unofficially have plans to make Episode 20 an all-star special with two celebrities playing for charity and those new endgames in that episode. We'll have a better idea near the end of this episode.

Right now, let's search for Bryan's challenger. Player closest to the right answer, high or low, challenges Bryan.


Before the show, one of our guest models rolled the five blocks from TPiR's Let 'Em Roll game. What was the value of the roll? We can confirm she didn't roll five cars right off the bat -- so please make sure your answer is higher than $0, lower than $8000 and in increments of $500.


This game operates on 24-hour deadlines. Please PM me your answer in 24 hours from now.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

Okay, the answers are in. Let's see what she rolled.

(clip rolls of certain twin sister from certain season of Big Brother rolling blocks)

Not one car -- but a lot of money. That money is worth a combined...

(ding)

...$7000. Who's the closest?

Lenny Jackson takes on the champ -- after station identification.

Staff announcer: TV 11 -- your eye on Guam.

(vamp to opening theme)

Liz and Julia: Hi. Remember us? We're Liz and Julia. We were quite a pair during the 17th season of Big Brother. With these dice, we're back on CBS with -- On A Roll!

(opening theme plays; audience cheers)

Liz and Julia: And here's our host, ready to get on a roll, Doug Morris!

Doug: Wow -- thanks for the welcome, ladies. Helloooooo, everybody, it's indeed time to get on a roll.  Playing with us today are the twins who provided some twists last year on Big Brother -- Liz and Julia.

Ladies, *this* game has been known to provide a lot of twists. So -- please take your marks -- while we welcome -- today's rollers.

(theme plays; audience applause)

(Liz runs over to the game board; Julia stays at dice table to welcome players)

Bryan Law and Lenny Jackson are with Julia and me at the dice table.

Contestants on Big Brother are known for two-timing others. But here, Bryan is our two-time champion with $131,150 in cash.

(audience cheers)

Bryan, for anyone who hasn't been with us since you've been with us, please give them a synopsis of the Bryan Law story.

[Bryan]

Well I've been On A Roll since arriving here. I've pretty much conquered the competition almost flawlessly and waited for the right moments.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Indeed, he's been on quite the roll -- winning four straight games, two straight matches and $131,150 in cash. (audience cheers) Remind us what you like to do away from our dice table. I know you follow NASCAR a lot.

[Bryan]

Yes and not only that, the 2016 SEC Football season kicks off tomorrow night! So I'm feeling giddy right now!

[dougmorrisontheair]

I'm familiar with SEC country. They love them some football. Good luck to your team and to you here on On A Roll.

Lenny, as we wish you good luck, please tell us about yourself.

[redrangerdude]

I am a high school junior from Washington DC and I am a huge fan of Power Rangers.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Like to see those Power Rangers go go against the bad guys.

Well you're about to go go against our champion starting now with this name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

This is the ten-letter last name of a famous person. I'll give you a clue as to why this person's famous. We'll then randomly reveal three letters in the last name. All you have to do to get control of the dice is signal -- and recognize the surname.

Now here comes your clue.

Before hosting "Separation Anxiety", she got on a roll -- when she won a season of "Last Comic Standing".

(Bryan and Lenny, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100. If you're stumped, you may respond with "pass".)

[dougmorrisontheair]

[Bryan passed on this -- so...]

(Lenny buzzes in)

Lenny?

Lenny: Shlesinger

(ding; audience applause)

That's it. Iliza Shlesinger. Funny lady who's easy on the eyes.

Lenny, please step into the box. You have control of the dice for four rolls. Let's load up the game board, please.


(FF reveal sfx; Liz poses by board)

Three-word clue at the top, just a five-letter word in the middle row and a two-word clue at the bottom row. These clues lead to the identity of a person, place or thing.

Lenny, your mission should you decide to accept it is to uncover as many of those letters as you can -- with the numbers and sums that you roll with our dice. The letters that are blocked by question marks stay blocked until you correctly solve a clue.

As always, please be careful and do *not* roll doubles. Anytime you throw doubles, you lose your turn to your opponent -- as he takes command of the round, the remaining rolls and a free letter along the way.

(Julia hands Lenny the dice)

Thank you, Julia. Lenny, you have the rules, you have the dice and you -- are on a roll.

(Lenny rolls)

Starting off with a 6 and a 3.

Lenny, this means you may take any 3 and any 6 off the board -- and you don't have to play those numbers on the same row -- or you may play the sum of the roll and take any 9.

[redrangerdude]

3 and 6 on the first row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Liz touches screen)

Starting with an O and...


(Liz touches screen)

...and a J.

Lenny, you may guess the top clue or roll again.

Remember, players, anytime you may a wrong guess on a clue or the overall puzzle, there's no penalty and you're still on a roll provided there's at least one roll left in a round.

[redrangerdude]

Roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, second roll of the round coming up.

(Lenny rolls)

And it's a 5 and a 1...

...or a 6.

[redrangerdude]

1 on the first row
5 on the second

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Liz touches screen)

You get an R and...


(Liz touches screen)

...an S.

Lenny, you may guess the top clue, guess the middle clue or roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Lenny.)

[redrangerdude]

I'll roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right. Bryan's hoping you'll throw doubles here.

(Nathan rolls)

But you don't -- it's a big roll. A 6 and a 5...

...or the yo-leven.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Lenny.)

[redrangerdude]

11 on the first row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Liz touches screen)

And you get another R. Lenny, you may guess the top clue or take the last roll of the round.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Lenny.)

[redrangerdude]

Roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, let see if you can avoid doubles one last time this round.

(Lenny rolls)

You can -- a 3 and a 5...

...or an 8.

[redrangerdude]

8 on the first row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Liz touches screen)

And you get an N. Lenny, would you like to guess the top clue -- or shall we start another name game?

[redrangerdude]

I don't know it.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Going to bypass a guess and we're out of rolls.

So, Lenny, please head back to your buzzer. Bryan's already got his hands on his buzzer. Let's move on to a new name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

Nine letters in this famous person's last name. Here's your clue.

He got on a roll -- hosting interview programs on ESPN.

(Bryan and Lenny, please PM me a buzz code and your answer from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

[Lenny elected to pass -- so...]

---

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

Bryan: Firestone?

(dings; audience applause)

Very good. Roy Firestone -- who hosted "Mazda SportsLook" which later became "Up Close".

Bryan, please step into the box. Four rolls of the dice are yours. Everything outside of doubles can be made -- so you -- are on a roll.

(Bryan rolls)

And first roll in this new round is a 3 and a 4...

...or a 7.

[Bryan]

Go ahead and give me 7, Row 1 please.
