On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Episode 33)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Wally -- for $40,000 -- is it -- caviar?


































(dings; win theme plays; audience cheers)

Yeah!!!!

Wow! Great job, Evan. $40,000 should buy you a *lot* of caviar. But you could win $100,000 in Lucky 7.

Silly question I know -- but are you ready for that?

[Twentington]

I better be, Doug!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Wally, please bring on Lucky 7.

(FF reveal sfx)

Letters in "lucky" hide different cash awards ranging from $25,000 to $100,000.

Which letter would you like?

[Twentington]

The Y, please, because why not?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Letter Y, please, Wally.

(cha-ching)
(audience cheers)

Woah, doctor! The big payoff. $100,000. That's the good news.

(ding)

The bad news is you only have two rolls to win. Each time the dice don't total 7, you win $100 a point.

Doubles are worthless and automatically end your game.

Think you can win 100 grand?

[Twentington]

I certainly hope so!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, everyone but the bean counters hope you win the hundred grand. It'll be a short time -- but you -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Evan rolls)

(loud groans)

Close -- a 6.

(ding)

Good for $600. Let's see if *this* is the roll that pays $100,000.

(Evan rolls)

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

Well, if anything good comes out of this, this other sum of 6 pays another six bills.

(ding)

$1200 here; $40,000 prior; grand total *of*...

(FF reveal sfx)

(theme plays; audience cheers)

...$317,652 in cash and prizes.

Another game -- after this.

(quick fade to black)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not often we're able to sneak a third game into the show. We're doing it right now with Evan leading Dustin one game to none. Here's our next name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

Seven-letter answer to this question.

Who got on a roll when he won the Governorship of Arkansas and, later, the Presidency of the United States?

(ding)

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: No response in time from the champ... so...]


(Dusty buzzes in)

Dusty?

Dusty: Bill CLINTON.


(dings; audience applause)

Correct and all over it.

(Brooke Markham hands Dusty dice as he walks into box)

By the way, our guest models have traded places. Brooke's here -- and Perry's there as we load up another game board.

(FF reveal sfx; Perry Mattfeld poses by numbered and blocked spaces)

There they are. And Dusty -- in a game you need to win -- you -- are on a roll.

(Dusty rolls)

(buzz)

(audience groans)

Egads. Ada from Decatur ends your turn quickly.

Players, please go ahead and trade places. Evan, you're already picking a free letter.

[Twentington]

Let’s take 11 on the middle row, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Perry touches screen)

And there's an R to start us off.

Evan, you may try to bring down the house and guess that middle clue -- or roll the bones.

[Twentington]

PRETTY COLOR?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Certainly fits -- but incorrect. Please roll.

(Evan rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Drats! First Ada from Decatur and now puppy paws.

Please trade place again, players. Dusty, your turn to take a free letter comes now.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

No pick in time. Board picks a letter for you.

(ding)

And it's a C in the middle row.

[Dusty]

How about FEMALE ACTOR?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Also fits -- but incorrect. Let's see if we can avoid the doubles this time.

(Dusty rolls)

(scattered cheers)

Hey now -- a playable roll -- a 2 and a 5...

...or a 7.

[Dusty]

I'll take number 2 in the middle, and number 5 on the bottom.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Perry touches screen)

There's an A...

(Perry touches screen)

...and an R. Dusty, you may guess the middle clue, guess the bottom clue or roll the dice one final time in this round.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Dusty)

[Dusty]

Lets take that last roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All righty. Last roll's coming up.

(Dusty rolls)

Playable -- an itty bitty 1 and a 2...

...or a 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Dusty)

[Dusty]

I’ll take 1 and 2 in the bottom please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Perry touches screen)

Ending this round with an E...

(Perry touches screen)

...and an M. Dusty, you may guess the bottom row's clue if you'd like. If you're wrong or want to pass, a new name game starts.

[Dusty]

Maybe the bottom word is EMPIRE?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

It's definitely EMPIRE. Dusty, just like that, you have a chance to solve this puzzle and tie up the match. Wrong answer triggers another name game.

[Dusty]

I'll take a wild guess and say it's Jussie Smollett.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered applause)

For the game, is it Jussie Smollett?

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

(audience groans)

No. Sorry.

Dusty's already heading back to his buzzer. Both players are ready for the next name game. Away we go.

(FF reveal sfx)

Another seven-letter answer to this question.

Who was already on a roll -- when his character "shrunk the kids"?

(ding)

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

37 Twentington
62 Dusty
26 random.org

(Evan buzzes in)

Evan?

Evan: Moranis.

(dings; audience applause)

Rick Moranis. That's it.

I've said it then when "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" was first released. I'll say it now. Any scientist who shrinks his children is just begging for divorce papers.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Evan's already in the box -- and he's now -- on a roll.

(Evan rolls)

Starting this round with a 6 and a 1...

...or a 7.

[Twentington]

The 1 and the 6 on top, please.
