Lucky Numbers (ABC; Episode 9)

(audience cheers)

Nels says he wants to roll those bones his own self. Lookin' for a ten.

(Kevin rolls)

Fiver instead. You get control of that lucky number which is worth...

(ding)

...$375. On to another question.

Barcelona, Madrid or Pamplona. The running of the bulls takes place in what Spanish city?

Nels?

[nelson17]

Pamplona

[dougmorrisontheair]

Sí señor.

(audience cheers)

Who's getting the dice -- you or Kevin?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Nels.)

[nelson17]

I'll roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

All righty. Nels going for the win.

(Nels rolls)

And we get another 5. Nels, you've already got that.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

So we put another $375 in the pot. We'll eventually get a winner in this game. I'll tell you how -- after this.

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

Welcome back my friends to the opening game that never ends.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

We are still in the first game of the match. So that's why we've got a scoreless tie.

On the board, the first player to roll a 10 banks a *lot* of money.

Kevin has control of three lucky numbers. Nels has just the one.

Players, as before, at the sound of this buzzer...

(tacky buzzer)

...the match comes to an end.

In the event we go the rest of this game, and thus the match, without a 10 or another 7, the player who controls more lucky numbers wins the game, the pot, further cash awards from the controlled numbers and, obviously, the match.

So -- think about that when you've got the option to play or pass.

Next question coming.

Red, white or blue. Which patriotic color could you bet on in a game of Roulette?

Nels?

[nelson17]

Red

[dougmorrisontheair]

That's the right color.

(audience cheers)

Well, Nels, choice is yours. Maybe this is the roll where we see the dice total the winning 10 or the losing 7. Who's rolling?

(audience shout suggestions)

[nelson17]

I'll roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Rolling the bones himself. Just avoid that 7.

(Nels rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Boxcars. Another wild roll.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

$4675 in the pot. Roll again, please.

(Nels rolls)

(scattered groans)

Almost a 10. Nine instead.

(ding)

With that, you just stole that 9 and the $375 prize away from Kevin. Next question oddly enough deals with money.

Ding or dong. What is the official currency of Vietnam?

Nels?

[nelson17]

Dong

[dougmorrisontheair]

If your car gets *dinged* in Vietnam, you might have to shell out a lot of dong. Nels you're right.

(audience cheers)

You know the choice by now -- are you rolling -- or is Kevin rolling?

(audience shout suggestions)

[nelson17]

I'm rolling

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Nels says he wants the dice. Roll 'em, please.

(Nels rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Wow! Another wild roll.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Pot's now at $4675, Nels. Please roll again.

(Nels rolls)

Six. You steal control of another lucky number.

(ding)

And on we go to another question.

True or false: Horology is illegal in the state of Utah.

(Kevin buzzes in)

Kevin?

[koopakid17]

True.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Oh no. "Horology" is one of those words that sounds dirty but really isn't. Horology is the science of timepieces. So it's perfectly legal in Utah and all other U.S. states.

Nels, roll or pass?

(audience shout suggestions)

[nelson17]

Roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Roll away.

(Nels rolls)

Hard way 6.  You've already got the 6, Nels.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

No extra roll for that -- but three extra bills in the pot. Next question.

Ben Gleib, Ben Stein or Ben Stiller. According to the title of an Emmy-winning program, contestants on a Comedy Central quiz show tried to win whose money?

Kevin?

[koopakid17]

Ben Stein!

[dougmorrisontheair]

That's the right Ben.

(audience cheers)

Roll or pass, Kevin?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Kevin.)

[koopakid17]

I think I'll pass. He's bound to roll a seven at some point.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Nels, he's challenging you. Avoid that 7.

(Nels rolls)

(loud groans)

(buzz)

A SEVEN! YOU LOST THE GAME. KEVIN, YOU WIN A BUNCH OF MONEY.

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

Looks like $5275 are going into your bank, Kevin.

Indeed that's the case. Let's quickly set up a new game. Nels, match isn't over until the tacky buzzer sounds.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

New winning point is 5 worth at least $1500. We're finally out of danger -- so winner of this question rolls the dice automatically.

Dustin Hoffman, Michael Richards or Meryl Streep. Who did not have a role in the movie "Kramer vs. Kramer"?

Nels?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz)

Time's up. Michael Richards did not have a role in the movie "Kramer vs. Kramer".

Kevin, dice are yours to roll automatically.

(Kevin rolls)

(danger zone cue; lights briefly flicker in certain parts of studio) (audience groans)

Egad.

We're back in the danger zone, players. Next roll of 7 means victory for the opposition.

Wayne Brady or Drew Carey. Which game show host from another network voices half of a same gender couple on the animated series "The Loud House"?

Wayne Brady.

[dougmorrisontheair]

That's right.

(audience cheers)

Roll or pass?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[koopakid17]

I'll roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Holding on to those dice. Let's see what happens.

(Kevin rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Yo-leven. Wild roll.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Pot's now up to $2000. Please roll again, Kevin.


(Kevin rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Snake eyes. That's another wild roll.


(drum beats; cha-ching)

Pot's up to $2500. Roll 'em again, please, Kevin.


(Kevin rolls)

(audience groans) (buzz)

And there's another 7. Game goes to Nels.

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

(tacky buzzer)

And I had a feeling that would happen. Final score -- Nels with $2500 and our champ remains champ. Kevin with $5275.

(longer ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

Nels, you sure helped make this match an exciting one. I'm glad you're leaving our dice table with some money. I know people who've *lost* $2500 at a dice table. You're leaving here $2500 to the good -- plus fine gifts backstage.
A nice hand for Nels Snesrud.

(audience cheers)

Kevin, you'll be back at the main event -- where more cash and a couple of great prizes can be won -- right after this.
