On A Roll (CBS; Episode 52)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

Yeah, some of the suits here aren't happy when some players confuse this with another dice game that starts with "Lucky". (scattered laughter from crowd) With that, we get an E on the end.

Raymond, you may guess the top clue if you'd like. A wrong guess or a pass means another name game.

pass

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, since we're out of rolls, we'll leave the board as it is.

And we'll get ready for a new name game. Here it comes.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we've got a ten-letter answer to this question.

Who got on a roll -- after landing the role of James Novak on "Scandal"?

(Robert and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

No ideas? Hopefully three more letters will help after I repeat the question.

(buzz buzz)

Oh, you don't remember Steely Dan's tribute to this actor?

Bucatinsky -- Bucatinsky -- Bucatinsky.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

(ding)

No -- wait -- the song went -- Bodhisattva -- Bodhisattva -- Bodhisattva.

Dan Bucatinsky was James Novak on "Scandal"

Frank: These questions are challenging.

(FF reveal sfx)

Well let's see if this one's easy or challenging. (scans card) Oh, this should be simple -- especially with a seven-letter answer.  

Who was on a roll -- as one of The Blues Brothers?

(Frank buzzes in)

Frank?

Frank: Belushi

(dings; audience applause)

John Belushi. That's right.

All right, Frank, please step into the box. Puala's handing you the dice. And you -- are on a roll.

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

Starting this round with a 4 and a 1...

...or a 5.

[fdriscoll22]

Let’s do the 5 in the top row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

And there's a B.

Frank, you may guess the top clue or roll again.

[fdriscoll22]

I’ll roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

And it's the ol' Lawrence Welk roll -- a 1 and a 2 ...

...or a 3.

[fdriscoll22]

Can I do the 2 on the top row and the 1 on the middle row?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Sure -- you can "split the move"...

...and play the individual numbers you rolled on different rows.

[fdriscoll22]

Ok. I’ll do that then. Just wanted to make sure

[dougmorrisontheair]

Roller calls for 2 at the top and 1 in the middle.

(Lisa touches screen)

So we get an A upstairs...

(Lisa touches screen)

...and the middle row starts with G.

Frank, this means you may guess the top row's clue, guess the middle row's clue, or roll again.

[fdriscoll22]

I'll take a wild guess at the top clue. Back Brace?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Our unfriendly buzzer says that's incorrect. But you're still in business. So keep rolling, please.

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

And it's a 1 and a 5 -- or a 6.

Now this is a good time to clarify something. If you play individual numbers of 1 and 5, the ones are already gone and blocked -- but you are allowed to play a 5 from the middle or bottom row. Or you may the sum of 6 from the middle or bottom row.

[fdriscoll22]

Let’s do the 5 in the middle

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

And it's an E.

You may guess the middle clue, Frank, or roll again.

[fdriscoll22]

Roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

And this is the fourth and final roll of the round -- a 2 and a 4...

...or a 6.

[fdriscoll22]

The 6 in the middle please

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

And there's an R.

Frank, you may guess the middle clue if you'd like.

A wrong guess or a pass means we play another name game.

[fdriscoll22]

No idea. Let's do the name game

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, we'll leave the board as it is for now.

We'll go ahead and set up for another name game and here it comes.

(FF reveal sfx)

And here's an eight-letter answer for this question.

Who got on a roll as Harry "The Hat" on "Cheers" -- before starring on "Night Court"?

(ding)

---

(Raymond and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes) (buzz buzz)

Oh, I thought you'd get this with the letters showing. Well -- three more will pop in after I repeat the question.

Frank?

Frank: Anderson

(dings; audience cheers)

There ya go. Harry Anderson. Great magician -- and great comedian who we dearly miss.

Okay, Frank. Please step into the box. Four rolls are yours. You're back -- on a roll.

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

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Argh! Well, just as quick as you got 'em, you lose the dice. Sorry about that.

Players, please trade places. Raymond, you're back in the game all of a sudden...

...with which free letter?

[basketball32]

seven in the first row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

It's a U. Well -- top clue's nearly complete.

You may guess that top clue, Raymond, or roll the dice.

[basketball32]

I’ll roll the dice:

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

And your first roll this round is a 1 and a 3...

...or a 4. Now, the ones are still gone and blocked. You may play the 3 in the middle row or play the sum of 4 in the middle or bottom row.
