On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Episode 29)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Evan rolls)

And a big roll as the round nears an end. A 6 and a 4...

...or a 10.

[Twentington]

I’ll take the ten on top, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Elizabeth touches screen)

Man plans the sum and gets an M.

Evan, we're out of rolls. You may guess the top clue if you'd like. A wrong answer or a pass starts another name game.

[Twentington]

Rhyming name?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's right.

Well -- Evan -- with that clue, you have a chance to solve the puzzle and win this game. The right answer means you'd receive an additional hint in Big 6 -- since one clue here is fully exposed. A wrong answer means the game continues with a name game.

[Twentington]

No, sorry, I've got nothing. Let's do another name game, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

No need to apologize. It's all good. We'll leave that board as it is.

Evan's already heading back to his side of the table -- and now both players have their hands on the buzzers. So let's move on to that next name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

Wow -- big name game -- eleven letters. Here's the question.

Who was on a roll -- in the world in blues?

(ding)

[Lenny and Evan, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.]

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Lenny elected to pass -- so...]

(Evan buzzes in)

Evan?

Evan: Butterfield?

(dings; audience applause)

Yes! Paul Butterfield. He may have been before your time -- but you solved it nicely.

All right, Evan, please take your spot back in the box. Nathalie, thank you for handing the dice over to the challenger.

Evan, once again, you -- are on a roll.

(Evan rolls)

First roll this round is a 5 and a 1...

...or a 6.

[Twentington]

One and five on the bottom, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Elizabeth touches screen)

The 1 gives us a G...

(Elizabeth touches screen)

...and the 5 gives us a T.

Evan, you may guess the bottom row's clue or roll again.

[Twentington]

Still nothing...

(Rolls)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Evan rolls)

(audience groans) (buzz)

Ohhhh -- doubles. Sorry, Evan, but you don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Players, please trade places. Lenny, your first chance to take a letter in this game.

You may take one free letter.

[redrangerdude]

2 on the bottom row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Elizabeth touches screen)

And you get an R. Lenny, are you going to guess the bottom clue or roll the dice?

[redrangerdude]

I'll roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, every roll outside of doubles still works. When that's not the case, we'll offer the play-or-pass option.

'Til then, Lenny, you're still on a roll.

(Lenny rolls)

And you roll a 2 and a 5...

...or a 7.

[redrangerdude]

2 and 5 on the middle row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Elizabeth touches screen)

There's an A...

(Elizabeth touches screen)

...and an N.

Everything outside of doubles still works, Lenny. So you may guess the middle clue or take the last roll of the round.

[redrangerdude]

I'll roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, last roll of the round. Make it count.

(Lenny rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ohhhh -- double threes. Sorry, Lenny. You don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Please return to your side of the table, Lenny.

Evan, no need to hop back in the box since we've exhausted all the rolls for the round.

You're still entitled to a free letter.

[Twentington]

I’ll take seven on the bottom clue, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Elizabeth touches screen)

And you get an A for that effort.

Evan, you may guess the bottom clue if you'd like. A wrong guess or a pass means the next name game's likely a crucial one.

[Twentington]

GREAT FALL?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

You realize you don't have to respond in question form on this show. (scattered laughter from the crowd) All kidding aside, Evan, you now have two clues and a chance to solve the overall puzzle and win this game.

A wrong guess means we play what's becoming a crucial name game.

[Twentington]

I hope it's HUMPTY DUMPTY.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For the game, is it -- Humpty Dumpty?





































(audience cheers)

Bingo!

Well done, Evan. Just for fun, does anyone want to guess the middle clue?

[Twentington]

SAT ON A WALL, I think.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Makes sense. Certainly fits.

(FF reveal sfx)

And he's right and all over it.

(Nathalie places dice near Evan's buzzer)

Well, Lenny, you're trailing in this match. But you still have $387,400 in cash winnings. We'll resume this match on the next show. We'll see you then, Lenny Jackson.

(Nathalie and Lenny walk off stage arm in arm)

Evan, as he heads for a comfy chair, let's have a money roll. For winning your first game, this roll is for fives of thousands of dollars. Doubles are allowed here. So if you can roll a hobo's delight at midnight -- or a 12, in layman's terms -- you'll be playing Big 6 for up to $60,000.

Good luck -- and let's see some high numbers.

(audience cheers as Lenny claps dice and rolls)

(cha-ching) (more cheers)

$25,000. Nothing to sneeze at. We'll play a $25,000 game of Big 6 -- when you come back to the dice table.


(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll. Time permitting, we'll play *two* audience games. Even if we just play the one, it's a new game that we're unveiling today. We've found it a lot of fun. Hope you will, too.

Right now, Evan's looking to have some fun and win some money. First we'll play Big 6. Wally's back -- to give us a hint, please.

(FF reveal sfx) (ding)

Thing. Remember, Evan, this Big 6 word that relates to a thing has been authenticated by Dictionary.com.

Dice faces accordingly hide the letters that spell out the Big 6 word. Much like the main game, you're going to try to uncover as many letters in the Big 6 word as you possibly can.

Just like a round of the game you won, you get four rolls of the dice. If you roll two different numbers, you may only take one of the two numbers you rolled. You can never play the sum.

After that first roll, if you can correctly solve the Big 6 word, face the nation and tell Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at seas how much money you'll win.

[Twentington]

(doing best Charlie O'Donnell impression) Twenty five thouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusand dollars!
