On A Roll (CBS; Episode 54; audience game)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Time to start a new episode of On A Roll.

The first thing on the agenda is a new game between basketball32 and babytims . So, Raymond and Immanuel, come on up.

[babytims]

I’s here!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, Raymond's not available -- so we will be playing a qualifying round after all.

Since this host had an extended absence, I'm making an executive decision. If you didn't play a main game of Episode 52, 53, or 54, you're eligible to play this qualifying question. Closest to the right answer, high or low, plays against Immanuel.

And here's the question.

Before the show, one of our models rolled five money dice. The numbers 1 through 6 were replaced with, respectively, these amounts of money: 25¢, 33¢, 50¢, 67¢, 75¢, and $1. What was the total value of the roll? Please respond in dollars and cents -- and make sure your answer is higher than $1.24 and lower than $5.01.

(DISCLAIMER: The digit in the one-hundredths place, mathematically, can be any digit zero through nine, inclusive. So your answer "to the penny" is fine.)

Please PM me, dougmorrisontheair , your answer in 24 hours from now.

[dougmorrisontheair]

And let's have a look at the roll.

.
A couple of 67s, a 33, a 75 and a 50 for a total of...

(ding)

...$2.92. Who's the closest?

Sharp shootin', David! Only off by eight cents. OAR coming up shortly.

[gameboy2000]

Checking in.

Staff announcer: What's next for the only remaining Blockbuster? Find out -- at 6

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

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

...in the last name of an actor who starred in "The Karate Kid" movies. If you know the name is...

...Ralph Macchio -- then you are -- ON A ROLL!

(opening theme plays; audience cheers)

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

...Leigh 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. We have a bundle of money to give away. We want to give it away -- to today's rollers.


(theme plays; audience applause)

David Barkow and Imannuel Tims are coming to the dice table.

David's taking over for another contestant who could not return today.

Immanuel, thus far, has $500 in cash winnings, is on Level 1, and has no losses.

Let's hope the solver of the next puzzle wins *lots* of money at Big 6 and then Lucky 7.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we've got eight numbers accordingly hiding a famous person's two-word last name.

Players, as you know, I'll ask a toss-up question. Then, three letters will randomly appear. When they do, you may signal. First player to chime in and correctly identify the name wins four rolls of the dice.

So, players, good luck and let's get on a roll with this.

Who got on a roll -- as a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band?

David and Imannuel, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

No ideas? No worry. Three more letters will appear after I repeat the question. But that's all the help we'd offer.

David and Imannuel, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(David buzzes in)

David?

David: Van Zantz

(buzz)

No. Immanuel, free guess for you.

[babytims]

I’ve got nothing

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ohh -- (buzz buzz) -- he also was a cast member of "The Sopranos".

(ding)

Little Steven Van Zandt.

Let's try this one on for size.

(FF reveal sfx)

And it's a seven-letter answer to this new question.

Who gets on a roll -- when he's reporting on hurricanes from the field?

(David buzzes in)

David?

David: Cantori

(buzz)

Sorry, can't take that. Immanuel, this means you get a free guess after I repeat the question and three more letters pop in.

Who gets on a roll -- when reporting on hurricanes from the field?

(ding)

[babytims]

Cantare?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience groans)

(buzz)

No. You each gave me a wrong vowel.

Jim Cantore -- C-A-N-T-O-R-E is how the man's last name is spelled.

Okay, let's hope the third name game's the charm.

(FF reveal sfx)

(scans card)

Okay, I think we can get this one. Seven-letter name game. Here's the quest.

Who got on a roll -- when he won the 1992 U.S. Presidential Election?

David and Imannuel, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.

(Immanuel buzzes in)

Immanuel?

Immanuel: Clinton

(dings; audience cheers)

There we go. Bill Clinton.

Third name game did prove to be the charm.

Immanuel Tims -- you're looking to advance to Level 2 today. Please remind us what you do when you're not rolling red dice for money here at Beverly and Fairfax.

[babytims]

Well Doug...I do everything, at least that's what I'm trying to do.

I'm a high school senior, I'm a writer and an actor, and I'm now planning...hopefully...maybe...to make a special mockumentary movie about my high school experience, trying to make as many memories as possible before I'm through.

I do also have a passion for TV and Film, with ambitions of being on TV one day...and it's gonna happen to!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, you're on this show. So, certainly, that's a start.

David, welcome to the dice table. Please tell us about yourself.

[gameboy2000]

I am unemployed from Virginia.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nice to have you here from Virginia. Hope you find great and rewarding work -- and hope you have fun here at the dice table.

But it's Immanuel who's rolling first. Please step into the box. Before you roll, we need a game board.

(FF reveal sfx; Havana poses by board)

And this game board, as always, conceals three clues leading to the indentity of a person, place, or thing.

Immanuel, you'll be rolling numbers and sums to uncover as many letters on the board as you can.

When you're in control of the dice, please do not roll doubles. Any double means your opponent takes command of the dice -- and collects a free letter along the way.

(Leigh hands Immanuel dice)

So now that you have the rules and the dice, Immanuel, you -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

Starting with a big roll of a 6 and a 4.

Immanuel, as you know, you take any 6 and 4 -- and they don't have to be on the same row -- or you may play the sum and take any 10.

[babytims]

I’ll take 4 and 6 up top, Doug

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

Starting with an L...

(Havana touches screen)

...and an S.

Immanuel, as you know, you may guess the top row's clue or roll again.

Players, as always, if you're wrong guessing on a clue or the puzzle, there's no penalty -- and you're still on a roll.

[babytims]

I'll take the dice and roll 'em Doug!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

And a small roll this time of a 1 and a 3...

...or a 4.

[babytims]

Let me take the 1 and 3 on row 2 please

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

Starting the middle row with an L...

(Havana touches screen)

...and an T.

Immanuel, this time, you may guess the middle row's clue or roll again.

[babytims]

Wild guess in the middle: LATE SHOW STAR

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Our unfriendly buzzer says that's incorrect.

Fortunately, you're still on a roll with two rolls to go, Immanuel.

(audience cheers as...) (Immanuel rolls)

And another big roll of 4 and 6...

...or a 10.

[babytims]

10 in the middle

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

And there's an H.

Immanuel, again, you may guess the middle row's clue or roll the dice. There's one more roll left in the round.

[babytims]

Let’s try LATE LATE SHOW

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience cheers)

There ya got it. Danced around it before -- and now you're right now.

Now, Immanuel, if you can solve this puzzle right now, you win the game and you get an extra hint in Big 6. If you're wrong, you're still on a roll.
