(audience cheers)

The audience seems to agree. Is it Jim Parsons?

(Correct)

Yes it is! Now, Michael, since you solved that row, you get a chance to solve the puzzle. If you're right, you get to play Lucky Seven for as much as $60,000. The clue is Jim Parsons. Michael, solve the puzzle.

The Big Bang Theory

[palmer7]

For the game, is it The Big Bang Theory?


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

You got it!


Very good, Michael. How did you come up with that?

[Deleted]

Once all the letters started coming in for the second row, I knew the answer to that was "Jim Parsons".  I'm just thankful the solution to the overall puzzle wasn't "Sheldon".

[palmer7]

Ha ha ha. Very good. Anyway, let's see the rest of the puzzle.

First row, "Nerd Quartet". Because there are four nerds. Jim Parsons, arguably the breakout star of the series. And it's a "hit sitcom" on CBS every Thursday night.


Ian, I'm sorry to say that you didn't win this game, so you're further behind from the car. We'll ask Rachel to escort you to Contestant's Row while Michael plays the bonus game, and we'll see you for game #2. A big hand for Ian Laudato, everyone! (audience cheers as Rachel escorts him)


Now, Michael, this must be an exciting moment for you. I'm going to hand you these dice. Since this is your first game, we'll multiply whatever you roll by $5,000. So, if you should roll an 8, you'd be playing for $40,000. If you roll a 2, then you'll only be playing for $10,000. (audience groans) It sucks, I know. So, let's try to avoid a two. Good luck, and roll those dice!


(Michael does whatever he does for good luck, and rolls those dice)






An 8! You're playing for $40,000!


(dings)
(audience cheers)


$40,000


What do you think of that?

[Deleted]

That's a nice amount of change & it doesn't suck to win $10,000.  I'm just saying.

[palmer7]

Let me put this in perspective. In 1986, when this show was only a pilot, the roll was multiplied by $1,000. Luckily, the winning contestant rolled a 12, so he played for $12,000 and won. Of course, that was a pilot. I'll discuss it more during this break. Stick around, we'll be back!

Greg: Welcome back to On a Roll. I'm here with Michael Clifford, who just won his first game. He's here playing Lucky Seven, the slightly-new Lucky Seven for reasons I'll touch on in a moment. Now, it's just you and the dice. Roll the dice and take out those numbers in any order you wish. For each one you knock off, I'll give you $500. You knock off all seven, and you'll earn how much?

[Deleted]

That be 40 grand, Mr. Palmer!

[palmer7]

(cheers and applause)

You're absolutely right! Now, the reason this is relatively new is because starting today, you don't get a strike for rolling repeating numbers. You still get strikes for doubles, but if you repeat a non-double, then we give you an additional $50. That's important, because the money you earn here determines whether you come back tomorrow.

Hey! That's a wild number. Which number do you want to take off the board? (audience shouts suggestions)

Hey, there's another three! Which number do you want to take off this time? (audience shouts suggestions)

[Deleted]

I'll take off the 10 this time.

[palmer7]

I would've thought you'd have gone for the seven. Oh well.

You're doing pretty well. You have at least three chances to roll a 7. There are six possible combinations to roll a 7, so I think you're doing very well. Just avoid those doubles. Audience, cheer him on! (they do, and he rolls)







No, no no. He's got to roll the 7 himself. We'll pay him $50.

Whoo hoo!  Whoo hoo!  Whoo hoo!

[palmer7]

Well gee whiz..... I don't know what to say after that. We'll be right back.

        [ ]                                      [$40,000]



Welcome back to On a Roll. Michael Clifford just won $40,000. Ian, if you want to come back tomorrow, you'll have to win this game and beat that score. Sound fair?

[Deleted]

OK!

[palmer7]

OK! Then let's not waste any more time. Rachel and Amber have switched positions, George has not. Unfortunately. Here's the first question of the second game.



In a zoo, on the farm, or in a Mexican restaurant: Where would you most likely find a chicken mole?


(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 55)
*Ian buzzes in (52)*
Ian?
Ian: Mexican Restaurant?
You're right! Actually, according to this card, mole is the generic name for a number of sauces originally used in Mexican cuisine, as well as for dishes based on these sauces. Outside of Mexico, it often refers specifically to mole poblano.


Anyway, you have control of the dice. Here's the next puzzle for you to look over.


(chimes)

A four and two, or a six.

[Deleted]

4 and 2 from the middle, sir. And also, (to the sound effects person) wrong show and wrong country mate!

[palmer7]

All right, all right. Those chimes actually did come from Wheel of Fortune in Australia. But we beat you TV critics to it!
