[djshadowwolf420]

I'm here

[dougmorrisontheair]

Staff announcer: "The FBIs" are back to work -- tonight at 7.

(vamp to opening theme) (camera zooms in on Wally)

Tiffany: Wally is about to reveal three letters...

...in the last name of Coldplay's lead singer. If you know the name is...

...Chris Martin -- then you are -- ON A ROLL!

(opening theme plays; audience cheers)

And here come the ladies to help us out. Today, Lisa is at the game board...

...Puala is at the dice table....

Now, meet our host, ready to get on a roll, Doug Morris!

(audience cheers)

Doug: Thank you, Tiffany. Hellooooooo, everybody -- and welcome to On A Roll.

Our current champion is on quite a roll. In fact, there *is* a chance our champ could become a millionaire.

(audience cheers)

Let's not keep our players waiting any longer. Let's welcome today's rollers.


(theme plays; audience applause)

Shederick Washington, Jr., and Frank Driscoll are back.

Shederick currently has $369,945 in cash and prizes.

(audience cheers)

Shederick, if you win this next game, you'll be on Level 6. You'll stay on Level 6 'til you're defeated or your winnings reach or exceed $1,000,000.

(audience cheers)

That would trigger the On A Roll World Series against Kourtney. So, since you could clinch a berth in the World Series today, let's give you a chance to send shout-outs to friends and loved ones.

[djshadowwolf420]

Hi mom, dad, my ladyfriend, cousins, uncles, aunties, and all the homes in the louisiana faithful I'm gonna make history!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Whipping them up into a frenzy already. Well here to stop you and make new history is Frank.

For those who weren't with us on the last show, please remind us what you do.

[fdriscoll22]

Well Doug I work in food retail by day as a customer service manager, but i recently got a side gig hosting trivia night at a local pub every week and I’ve been loving every second of that.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ah, sounds like a fun job hosting trivia night.

Trivial knowledge can help you here in our game -- especially in a name game. And we're starting our game with this name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

The numbers here respectively hide the letters of a famous person's last name.

Players, as you know, I'll ask a question -- and then we'll randomly reveal three letters in that last name.

The first player to signal and correctly recognize the name wins four rolls of the dice -- and the game goes on from there.

So, hands on the buzzers -- and away we go.

Who was on a roll while fighting the law -- until special agents shot and killed him in 1934?

(Frank buzzes in)

Frank?

Frank: Dillinger

(dings; audience applause)

John Herbert Dillinger. That's right.

Frank, please step into the box. Four rolls are yours. Before you roll, let's load up a game board.

(FF reveal sfx; Lisa poses near board)

And we've got three rows of clues up there leading up to the identity of a person, place, or thing.

Frank, you'll be rolling numbers and sums to reveal the letters behind the numbers. The letters blocked by question marks stay blocked until you correctly solve a clue.

When you're rolling, please do *not* roll doubles. Any double means your opponent takes over the remaining rolls and picks up a free letter.

(Puala hands Frank dice)

So you've got the rules and the dice. Frank, you are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Frank rolls)

Starting off with a 6 and a 5.

This means you may take any 5 and 6 off the board -- and they don't have to be on the same row -- or you may play the sum and take an 11.

[fdriscoll22]

Let’s do 5 and 6 in the top clue

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

We start with a D...

(Lisa touches screen)

...and an A. Frank, as you know, you may guess the top clue or roll again.

Players, please keep in mind if you make a wrong guess on a clue or the overall puzzle, there's no penalty and you're still on a roll.

[fdriscoll22]

I’ll roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Frank rolls)

And it's a 6 and a 3...

...or a 9.

[fdriscoll22]

I'll take the 3 and 6 off the middle clue

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

There's an E...

(Lisa touches screen)

...and a D.

(scattered snickering and laughter from crowd)

There are also sick minds in the crowd!

Frank, you may now guess the middle row's clue or roll again.

[fdriscoll22]

I'll roll again Doug

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Frank rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Oh, the first double of the day. Sorry about that.

Players, please trade places. Shederick, you're in control of the game now. Before you take the last roll...

...please take one free letter.

 

[djshadowwolf420]

Is the board updated?

[dougmorrisontheair]

The board reverted one full move for some reason.

There we go. We'll have to do a malware scan after the show.


(scattered laughter from crowd)


Sorry about that, Shederick.  Now that the board's current, which free letter would you like?

[djshadowwolf420]

Middle row 1

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

There's a T. Shederick, you may guess the middle clue or take the last roll in this round.

[djshadowwolf420]

Last roll please

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Shederick rolls)

And the last roll is a 1 and a 5...

...or a 6 -- and you'll have to go downstairs for this one.

[djshadowwolf420]

1 and 5 downstairs to the dance floor

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter)

(Lisa touches screen)

We've got a B...

(Lisa touches screen)

...we've got an I -- and we've got a programming note. "Dance Zone America" follows us over most of these stations.

(more laughter from crowd)

Only kidding. Shederick, you may guess the bottom row's clue if you'd like. A wrong guess or a pass means another name game.

[djshadowwolf420]

Name game craig Ferguson eat your heart out

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Geoff Peterson, your thoughts?  Is he even around Television City anymore? Anyway, we'll leave the board as is...

...and our players are ready with the next name game -- so here it comes.

(FF reveal sfx)

Here's an eight-letter answer to this question.

Who was on a roll -- as a panelist of "To Tell The Truth"?

(Frank buzzes in)

Frank?

Frank: Carlisle

(dings; audience cheers)

Kitty Carlisle -- one of the greats. That's right.

Okay, Frank, please come on back into the box. Four dice are yours. Let's see if you can keep the dice this time. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Frank rolls)

Starting big again -- with a 5 and a 6...

...or an 11. Now the fives are gone and blocked already. Frank, you may play the 6 at the bottom row or either 11.

[fdriscoll22]

Let’s do the 11 in the top clue
