On A Roll (Ep. 56; CBS Daytime; audience game)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Welcome to Episode 56, and our first regular episode from Haven Studios, for On A Roll.

Some notes are in order...

\ gameboy2000 David Barkow returns with $174,150. David is on Level 2 and has one loss.

\ We're back to the regular waiting list rules. So please consult DougMorris.net/oar before trying to qualify.

And now here's the qualifying question. If you're the closest to the right answer to this question, and you've waited long enough and you're not on retired status, you're eligible to play.

On February 16, 2014, at 2:30pm Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Family Feud". In Fast Money, two members of the winning family didn't reach the goal of 200 points. The family received how much money as a consolation prize? Please respond in increments of $5.

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

[gameboy2000]

Checking in

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, I'm told the fam got really close.

(ding)

...$955. That means a score of 191 points -- nine points shy of victory. That's close.

Speaking of, who's the closest to $955?

Sharp shootin', Kevin. Only off by just a double sawbuck. OAR coming up shortly.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Staff announcer: Channel 4 -- American Samoa.

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

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

...in the last name of the mayor of Glendale, California. If you know the name is...

...Dan Brotman -- 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...

...Ashley is at the dice table....

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

(audience cheers)

Thank you, Tiffany. Hellooooooo, everybody -- and welcome to On A Roll from our *new* home at the Haven Studios.

(audience cheers)

Yes, this set's in tact. Everything's passed inspections by S&P and the Zombie Patrol. (audience laughs) So without further adieu -- let's meet today's rollers.


(theme plays; audience applause)

David Barkow and Kevin Kolsen are coming to the dice table.

David, when we closed up shop at the old place, you won a big game of Lucky Seven. That boosted your total winnings to $174,150 in cash and merchandise.

(audience cheers)

How are you feeling as you resume your championship reign in our new digs?

[gameboy2000]

Pretty good

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well good luck as you defend your crown against Kevin. Kevin, welcome to our new home. Please tell us about yourself.

[koopakid17]

I'm Kevin, and I'm an accountant from Long Island, New York.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Great to have you here from CBS2 Land, Kevin.  CBS2 in the New York area, that is. We have a CBS2 here in the L.A. area.

David, Kevin, good luck. Even though we've change real estate in the L.A. area, this much stays the same. To get on a roll, you must win a name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And there's an eight-letter famous person's last name. In a moment, I'll ask a toss-up question -- and then three letters in the last name will randomly appear.

Players, as soon as you recognize the name, buzz in. The first to signal with the correct answer earns four rolls of the dice.

So -- with the players' hands already on the buzzers, here's the first question in our new digs.

Who got on a roll -- as one of the stars of "Baywatch"?

---

David and Kevin, please PM me your answer and a buzzer code from 1-100.

(David buzzes in)

David?

David: Anderson

(dings; audience applause)

That's it. Pamela Anderson.

Okay, David, please step into the box. Four rolls are yours. Before you roll, we need to load up the game board.


(FF reveal sfx)

And there we have three sets of clues words hidden by numbers. The clues lead to the identity of a person, place or thing.

David, as you know, you'll be rolling numbers and sums to uncover as many of the letters that make up the words as you can.

The letters blocked by question marks stay blocked until you correctly solve a clue.

When you're on a roll, please do not roll doubles. Anytime you roll doubles, you lose control of the dice to your opponent -- who picks up a free letter along the way.

(Ashley hands dice to David)

So with the rules out of the way for the first time in the new building, David, you -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (David rolls)

Starting with a 4 and a 5.

This means you may take any 4 and any 5 off of the board -- or you may play the sum and take any 9.

[gameboy2000]

4 and 5 in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

Our first two letters in the new facility are a C...

(Havana touches screen)

...and an R.

Just like the old place, David, you may guess the middle clue or roll again.

Anytime you're wrong about a clue or the overall puzzle, there's no penalty and you're still rolling.

[gameboy2000]

Ice cream

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience cheers)

Impressive!

Now then -- David -- if you can solve the puzzle with just that clue, you win the game, you get an extra hint at Big 6, and you give our producers their first big timing problem.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Kevin, we let David play for a prize to fill time. We'll probably let you play a sidebar game for a prize *if* he wins it here.

But let's see what happens.

David, what's your guess -- as to the overall solution of the puzzle?

[gameboy2000]

Rocky Road

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered applause)

That also describes the results of how I fared in Baccarat in Vegas.

(scattered laughter)

See, I'm stretching in case David's won this game here and now.

And I've run out of stall tactics.

For the game -- is it -- Rocky Road?







































(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

(audience groans)

Sorry, that's incorrect. Fortunately, you're still rolling.


(audience cheers as...) (David rolls)

And it's a 2 and a 3...

...or a 5.

[gameboy2000]

2 and 3 at the top.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

There's an O..

(Havana touches screen)

...and an N. You may guess the top clue or roll again.

[gameboy2000]

Roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (David rolls)

Third roll of the round is a 4 and a 1...

...or another sum of 5.

[gameboy2000]

1 and 4 on the bottom.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

It's an S...

(Havana touches screen)

...and an M.

David, you may guess the bottom row's clue or take the last roll in the round.

[gameboy2000]

Roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (David rolls)

Last roll in the round is a 4 and a 3...

... or -- a -- 7 -- and -- yes -- seventeen officials from the network and our show join me in confirming, David, your only move is 7 in the top row -- since all the fours and threes are already gone and blocked.

So, Havana, if you will...

(Havana touches screen)

...thank you -- and you get an A for that effort.

David, we're out of rolls. You may guess the top clue if you'd like.

If you're wrong or want to bypass a guess, we'll start another name game. After the name game, we'll be in play or pass mode -- meaning the controlling roller will have the option to roll or pass the dice since one roll beyond double cannot be played.

[gameboy2000]

No guess

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, we'll leave that as is.

Crucial name game coming. I honestly don't remember Round 2 starting with play or pass. But that's going to happen after this name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we have an eight-letter answer to this question.

What country music legend, and former host of the game show "Fandango", is still on a roll?

(ding)

---

(David and Kevin, please PM me a buzz code from 1-100, your answer, and your choice of playing or passing)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(David buzzes in)

David?

David: Anderson

(dings; audience applause)

And -- I also don't remember being "Anderson" being the right answer to two consecutive name games.

This time, we're talking Bill Anderson. This past July, he became the longest-serving member in the history of "The Grand Ole Opry".

David, you've got a big decision. Play or pass? At least one roll beyond doubles cannot be played -- and we haven't had a double yet in this game.

[gameboy2000]

Roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

Then please step into the box. Four rolls of the dice are yours. As you take the dice from Ashley, you -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (David rolls)

And it's a 6 and a 4...

...or a 10.

Friendly reminder, since the fours are gone and blocked: You may play the 6 at the top or bottom -- or play the sum and take the 10 at the top.

[gameboy2000]

6 at the bottom.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Havana touches screen)

And it's another S. Not sure if that helps.

David, you may guess the bottom row's clue, roll again, or pass the roll to Kevin.
