On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Ep. 24; Big Money Week)

[gameshowfan1986]

6 & 1 (Bottom)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

You get an A...

(Paige touches screen)

...and a T. Bless you, Paige, for going to those spaces -- in that order.

(awkward silence -- then scattered laughter and applause)

Moving right along. Antonio, would you like to guess the bottom row's clue or roll again?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

Time's up -- but you may roll again.

(Antonio rolls)

(audience groans) (buzz)

Argh! First doubles of the game. You don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Let's trade places. James, you inherit the remaining two rolls.

But first, please take one free letter.

[Deleted]

8 on top

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

And there's an A. James, you may guess the top clue or roll the dice.

[Deleted]

Kissing an Ape?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

(audience laughs)

I think that's illegal in seven states -- (more laughter) -- and the District of Columbia.

In any event, wrong guess -- but you may roll again, James.

(James rolls)

And, James, your first roll *this* round is a 2 and a 3...

...or a 5.

[Deleted]

The 3 at the top and the two at the bottom

[dougmorrisontheair]

We'll have to hold you to the 3 at the top. The 2 in the bottom row is blocked. Did you mean 2 in the middle row?

[Deleted]

Yes

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

Okay, we get another S and...

(Paige touches screen)

...another T. Matt, you may guess the top clue, guess the middle clue -- or take the last roll of this round.

[Deleted]

Take the last roll of this round and my name is James

[dougmorrisontheair]

Sorry about that, James. This sort of thing happens when you get to be my age. (scattered laughter)

(James rolls)

Advancing age is why I couldn't host the late night version of On A Roll.  Anyhoo, last roll for you, James is a 3 and a 6...

...or a 9.

[Deleted]

The 3 and the 6 in the middle

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

Finishing this round of rolls with an A and...

(Paige touches screen)

...a Y.

James, you may guess the middle clue if you'd like. If you're wrong or want to bypass a guess, we'll start another name game.

[Deleted]

Dunno

[dougmorrisontheair]

So that means another name game is coming up shortly. We leave the board as is.

James, please head back to your buzzer. Antonio's hands are already on his buzzer. So -- here's our next name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

Eight letters in the answer. Here's the query.

What head basketball coach helped *my* San Antonio Spurs get on a roll?

(ding)

---

(Antonio and Jones, please PM dougmorrisontheair with your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

40 Antonio
45 James
32 random.org

(Antonio buzzes in)

Antonio?

Antonio: Popovich.

(dings; audience applause)

Gregg Popovich -- coach of five championship teams in my former stomping grounds of San Antonio.

All of our game material's prepared well in advance. So it's just serendipity that a question involving San Antonio was answered correctly by a player named -- well -- Antonio.

So, with that clarified, Antonio, you're legit -- on a roll.

(Antonio rolls)

And you start this round with a 4 and a 2...

...or a 6. The sixes are gone, so you can't play the sum. The twos are gone and blocked -- but you may take -- which 4?

[gameshowfan1986]

1 (Middle)
5 (Bottom)

[patpun2016]

Audience: He said pick a 4!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(trying to impersonate Foghorn Leghorn) Son, I say, son, you don't understand the game heah.

(audience laughs)

The numbers you want to take may add up to 6. But the rules state you have to take a number that equals the sum -- which you can't do at the moment since all sixes are gone. It's either that or take numbers that match the *individual* numbers that you rolled -- a 4 and 2.

The twos are gone and blocked -- but you may take the 4 in the middle row or the 4 at the bottom row.

[gameshowfan1986]

Middle

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

And you get an R. Antonio, you may guess the middle clue or roll again.

[gameshowfan1986]

Roll Again

[dougmorrisontheair]

Rolling again. James wants you to roll doubles.

(Antonio rolls)

But you get a big sum -- a 6 and a 4 or a 10.

Sixes are still history -- but you may take the 10 at the top, 10 at the middle or the 4 at the bottom.

[gameshowfan1986]

10 (Top)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

Going top shelf for an E.

Well, Antonio, take a guess at the top clue -- or roll again?

[gameshowfan1986]

KISSING AN EGG?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Apparently legal in all states -- but that's not it.

Two rolls remain, Antonio. You're still on a roll.

(Antonio rolls)

And you get a 5 and a 2...

...or a 7.
