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

[dougmorrisontheair]

The second letter, please, Wally.

(ding)

It's a U.

Well -- we've ruled out it's a quicky.

For $2500, what is this thing?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Immanuel; I'm back in town; my hosting will be limited the week of April 10, however; please see the vacay section for further details; we're still playing this endgame on relaxed deadlines)

[babytims]

I don’t Know. I can’t even take a guess

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

Okay, we're down to $1250. Need to solve it right here on this roll to have a shot at Lucky 7.

Make it a good roll, Immanuel.


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

And it is a good roll with a final choice...

...of the first or fifth letter.

[babytims]

Letter 1 please

[dougmorrisontheair]

First letter, please, Wally.

(ding)

It's a J.

Okay, Immanuel, you *need* to solve this here to have a shot at Lucky 7.

For $1250 and possibly more, what is this thing?

[babytims]

JUICER

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

For $1250, Wally, is this thing -- a juicer?

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

Bingo! Another $1250 in your coffers. Better than putting just $500 in your coffers. Let's go for more in Lucky 7. Wally, please set us up.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally.

You know how this works by now, Immanuel

In Level 3, the cash awards that Wally randomly stashed in "lucky" range from $35,000 to $200,000.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

So which "lucky" letter would you like?

[babytims]

L for lucky please

[dougmorrisontheair]

Wally, what did you stash in "L" as in "lucky"?

(cha-ching)
(audience cheers)

Woah! The big one! $200,000.


(alarm goes off)

Okay, Immanuel, try to compose yourself -- because you're only going to have...

(ding)

...up to two chances to win $200,000.

As before, any double is worthless and causes an automatic shutdown. So you don't want doubles off the bat. Any non-double sum that doesn't add up to 7 pays off $100 a point.

So -- are you ready to get back on a roll for $200,000?

[babytims]

You bet! Let’s go!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Then you -- are on a roll.

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

(loud groans from crowd)

(ding)

Fortunately, you do guarantee yourself a second roll, Immanuel. Do you think you can get a 7 spot on this time?

[babytims]

Let’s hope so!

(I kiss the dice)

C’mon dice!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; loud audience groans)

(ding)

Overshot by 1 the first time. Undershot by 1 the next. I'm so sorry, Immanuel.

[babytims]

That’s ok…I had a great time still, those were just some pesky dice.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bless you for being a great sport, Immanuel.

Even though you didn't crack the $200,000 barrier, I'm sure you cracked $30,000. Wally, how much money has Immanuel won?

(FF reveal sfx)

(audience cheers)

$31,850.

And the news does get brighter from here. If you win again, you'll be on Level 4. By then, the stakes double in Big 6 -- and the stakes get higher in Lucky 7.

Meantime, David has a chance to win big -- right after this.

(audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: This host will still be borderline unavailable for the business week ahead. David, deadlines for this game will be relaxed.]

(theme plays; audience applause)

Welcome back to On A Roll. David, let's give you a chance to win some cash. How much are we playing for, Tiffany?


(last few seconds of FF76 theme plays; audience cheers)

Tiffany: David, you're playing for $10,000! Good luck as you get on a roll!

Yes, that $10,000 bill with *my* picture on it -- (scattered laughter from crowd) -- will be yours if you can win this game of Crown & Anchor.

(FF reveal sfx)

Now, here's how the game works. Our ladies, Havana and Leigh, will take turns rolling our three Crown & Anchor dice.

(Havana holds up one cube)

Here's what the crown side of each cube looks like -- and it's colored red.

(Leigh holds up another cube)

Here's what the anchor side of each cube looks like -- and it's colored black.

The remaining sides of the cubes are spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds.  They are appropriately colored red and black as seen in a deck of playing cards.

(models drop the two dice joining the third in the dice cup)

Now they will roll the dice four times. Before each roll, David, you'll predict whether a majority of the dice's pips will turn up red or black. A correct call on any roll awards one token. The more tokens you have, the better your chances of winning the $10,000.

So, good luck to you, David, and let's get on a roll toward the $10,000. Please pick a color -- red or black.

[gameboy2000]

Red

[dougmorrisontheair]

First pick is red. Looking for at least two reds.

Havana's gonna start us out. Leigh will have the next roll.

(Havana shakes up dice cup; rolls dice down Let 'Em Roll-esque ramp as audience cheers)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

And sorry -- but black was the correct call to make here.

(FF reveal sfx)

Three rolls left, David. As they get ready for the next roll, red or black?

[gameboy2000]

Red

[dougmorrisontheair]

Leigh, let's see a lot of red, please.

(Leigh shakes up dice cup; rolls dice down Let 'Em Roll-esque ramp as audience cheers)

(dings; audience cheers)

Two hearts -- that's good enough.

(ding)

You've earned a token, David. After two more rolls, you're going to place your earned tokens on the numbers. If you place your token on a number than hides the Money Man, you win the $10,000.

(scattered cheers)

So with that, pick again -- red or black?

[gameboy2000]

Black

[dougmorrisontheair]

Switching it up. Okay, Havana, David chooses black. Let's see if we can give him his second token.

(Havana shakes up dice cup; rolls dice down Let 'Em Roll-esque ramp as audience cheers)

(dings; audience cheers)

Hey, three spades!  A natural triple! Wait -- wrong show.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

(ding)

Gotta get in at least *one* more utterance of that term in this studio -- while we can.

(scattered laughter from crew)

David, as of now, you're odds of winning that $10,000 bonus are 50:50. Let's improve the odds with one more good pick of red or black.

[gameboy2000]

Red

[dougmorrisontheair]

Going back to red. Leigh, let's finish strong, please.

(Leigh shakes up dice cup; rolls dice down Let 'Em Roll-esque ramp as audience cheers)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Black was the majority color in this roll.

(ding)

Okay, that's it for dice rolls, David.

Again, one of those numbers -- 1, 2, 3, or 4 -- hides the money man. You've got two chances to find that money man. All at once, please choose your two numbers -- and we'll place the tokens on those selections.

[gameboy2000]

1 and 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Wally, please cover the numbers 1 and 3.

(ding)

Okay, let's check screen number 1 first. Do we find the Money Man there?

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Negative.

By the way, if there's no Money Man at 3, we do award $250 per token you did earn or $500 as a consolation prize.

But let's think good thoughts and hope the Money Man is in screen -- number -- THREE!

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

Hey there!

David, you're $10,000 richer. Congratulations!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Even though you haven't made it to Level 1, you have won...

(audience cheers)

...$17,100 in cash and merchandise. And you and David will play for more on the next show.

Our producer says -- we have time for another audience game. Who wants to play?

(audience shouts "I do" and similar responses)

---

(We'll bypass qualifying on this one. Next one to respond who hasn't played a main game gets to play the audience game.)

[chriswolvie]

I do!

[dougmorrisontheair]

chriswolvie, come on up! (audience cheers) Chris, as we set up your game, please tell us about yourself.
