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

[babytims]

Is it James Corden?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For the game -- is it -- James Corden?

































(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

Bingo!

Immanuel, that's one of the fastest wins ever. Congratulations.

One of the amazing parts of this win...

...is you got *REALLY* close to solving that middle clue on the first attempt when you guessed LATE SHOW STAR and the unfriendly buzzer sounded. You then had a chance to capitalize thanks to the next roll and got LATE LATE SHOW.

What had you thinking the CBS "Late Show" and "Late Late Show" franchises?

[babytims]

Well...I knew that the top row had to be English, so putting that and the Late Late Show together, knowing it's host...it had to be James Corden!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ahh, playing detective, are we? Well, let's see if the top clue was ENGLISH.

It was -- at the bottom row's clue was CURRENT HOST. And if you know anything about current events, you know "The Late Late Show with James Corden" will be signing off soon to make way for a new comedy franchise at 12:35 a.m. We wish all involved the best going forward.

(audience cheers)

David, this is just your first loss. You'll have a chance to make a comeback. Please stay here because we're going to dive right into Immanuel's Level 2 game of Big 6.

Immanuel, as you know, it starts with the money roll. This is for $5000 a point and determines the top dollar value of Big 6. We do allow for doubles on the money roll. So a roll of boxcars means a $60,000 game of Big 6.

Good luck, Immanuel, as you take your money roll.

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

(cha-ching)

(audience cheers)

BOXCARS! We're playing for $60,000. Immanuel, are you ready for a $60,000 game of Big 6?

[babytims]

Ooh you better believe it!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, there's Wally -- pressed into service so early in the show. Wally, may we have the numbers for Big 6, please?

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally.

Immanuel, as you know, the dice faces accordingly hide the letters that spell out your Big 6 word. Much like the main game you won in quick fashion, you're going to try to uncover as many letters in the Big 6 word as you possibly can. Now, Wally's about to give us a hint. Wally, may we have the hint, please?

(ding)

Let's visit...

That means the six-letter word is a proper noun -- and the name of a specific geographic location. Could be a city, state, country, or other location. The existence of this location has been confirmed by a gazetteer.

Since you won the game with one clue fully revealed, you earn an extra hint. Wally, please give us the hint.

(FF reveal sfx)

Hosted 2016 Olympics.

Okay, Immanuel, as you know, you'll have four rolls of the dice. What's different here is if you roll two different numbers, you may only take one of the two numbers you rolled -- and you can never play the sum.

After your first roll, if you can correctly solve the Big 6 word, you win $60,000. If you need a second roll, the value of the word drops to $5000. For each roll thereafter, we cut the money in half.

(Leigh hands Immanuel dice)

So you've got the rules and the dice, Immanuel. You -- are on a roll.


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

And we're starting off with a 1 and a 6.

Would you like the first or sixth letter?

[babytims]

Let's try the first letter

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

First letter's a B.

One guess only for $60,000, Immanuel. What is this Big 6 word?

[babytims]

Berlin?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience groans)

They may be on to something -- but we'll check.

Wally, for $60,000, is this host for the '16 Olympics -- Berlin?

(buzz)
(audience groans)

No. We're down to $5000, suddenly.

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

And we get a 6 and a 2. Would you like the second or sixth letter?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Immanuel)

[babytims]

(Check my vacay thread Doug, today I’m super limited)

Let’s go down the line: second number please

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: This will be an "untimed down".]

Second letter, please, Wally.

(ding)

It's an R.

For $5000, what's this Big 6 word?

[babytims]

Oh! Brazil!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Wally, for $5000, is this host *nation* -- Brazil?

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

There we go. Rio de Janeiro was the host *city* of that year's Olympics. And Rio's in -- Brazil.

$5000 with a chance at more in Lucky 7, Immanuel. Wally, please set us up.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. Immanuel, here's how Lucky 7 works.

Wally will give you a certain number of chances to roll any sum of 7 on the dice. But before Wally sets the timer, we need to find out what is at stake. All you have to do is pick a letter in the word "lucky". Here on Level 2, those lucky letters hide different amounts of cash of up to $150,000.

(scattered woos and cheers)

So please choose what you think is the luckiest letter.

[babytims]

My favorite number’s 5, and the 5th letter is the Y, so Y please

[dougmorrisontheair]

Y not the Y? What's there, Wally?

(cha-ching)
(audience cheers)

$25,000. Add that to the five large -- that would make it at least $30,000.

(alarm goes off)

Depending on how lucky you are with the dice, you could win a little more than $25,000 because Wally's about to set the shutdown timer based upon the value you found against the others you left behind. I think this is the smallest value in play in Level 2. So you should have a lot of rolls to play with.

(ding)

The max -- six rolls.

Immanuel, each time the dice roll's sum does not total 7, you win the roll's sum in hundreds of dollars. Doubles are worse here than earlier. Doubles have no value *and* also force an immediate end of the game.

But the moment you roll any sum of 7, you win the $25,000 immediately.

Are you ready to get back on a roll for 25 large?

[babytims]

You bet your bottom twenty five thousand dollars I'm ready!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Sounds like you're eager to roll. Roll away.

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

(loud groans from crowd)

Oh! So close!

(ding)

$600 for that roll of 6.

Five more shots at it.

(Immanuel rolls)

And 5 and 4 make you $900 richer.

(ding)

$1500. But let's see if this third roll's the charm in Lucky 7.

(Immanuel rolls)

(loud groans)

*Another* close call. Gee whiz.

(ding)

Three more shots to go. Avoid those doubles, Immanuel.


(Immanuel rolls)

(dings; DSW sound effects play; win theme plays; audience cheers)

BINGO!!!!

A total of $27,300 just in this game of Lucky 7, Immanuel. Congratulations!

[babytims]

Yeeeeeee haw!!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

But wait, pardner, there's more. We add this money to your prior winnings for a total of -- how much, Wally?

(FF reveal sfx)

(audience cheers)

$29,200.

How do you like that going into a possible Level 3?

[babytims]

I love that Doug!!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well you'll have a chance to win a lot more in the next game. David will have a chance to get on the board in that next game. We'll play it -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll. David and Immanuel, we'll resume regular gameplay in just a moment.

*Normally* this is the time we play Big 6 and Lucky 7. However, since Immanuel solve the puzzle lickety split, our producer wanted to fill some time with a two-player version of a reindeer game we normally play with the audience.

And the game we're going to play is Pig.

Now if you win this game, you won't level up. If you lose, you don't get a strike.

But if you do win, take a look at what you'll win.

("Scrabble" theme plays)

It's the crossword game you've played all your life -- but never quite like this. It's a leather-bound Scrabble set.

This Dauphin-inlaid set comes with a hand-bound scallop-sided plinth, buttery bridle-hide tiles, and a board that can rotate freely.

And here are a couple of valuable five-letter words -- "three" and "large". We're adding $3000 in cash to make this prize package worth $7100.


(audience cheers)

Oh, how cool is that? Now here's how you win that prize.

(ding)

We're going to start each of you off at 50¢. David, you'll start the game off by rolling one dice cube several times. You'll keep rolling until you roll a 1.

Each time you roll a number higher than 1, you win that many dimes. So a roll of a 2 awards 20¢. A roll of a 6 awards 60¢.

The moment you roll a 1, your turn ends and then Immanuel will try to beat your score.

The player with the higher money score wins the Scrabble set. The lower money scorer will collect $500 as a consolation prize.

(audience groans)

(buzz)

But you won't break the three-dollar barrier. You stop at $2.70. Still a great score. (audience cheers) Wally, please make a note of David's score.

There we go. $2.70.

Immanuel, this means you'll need to score more than $2.70 to win that deluxe Scrabble set.

In case of a tie, we'll let each of you roll the cube three more times.

Immanuel, keep rolling 'til you outscore David -- or you roll a 1.

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ohhh!!!! And a 1 stops you in your tracks. David, you win!

Immanuel, just to tie up a loose end, your $2.20 will be augmented to $500.

David, your winning score of $2.70 will be augmented to $3000. We add that deluxe Scrabble set worth $4100. That gives you a grand total of $7100 in cash and merchandise.

(audience cheers)

And when we come back, we'll start a new main game. On A Roll resumes -- when you come back to the dice table.

Welcome back to On A Roll. Just when it looked like Immanuel was going to cruise to victory in Pig, Immanuel got that 1 on the fourth roll and David won that deluxe Scrabble set plus $3000 in cash.

So, we have two big winners here at the dice table. Now, let's resume regular competition -- with this name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we have an eight-letter famous person's last name. Here's the question.

Who got on a roll as a professional wrestler -- and later as Drax the Destroyer?
