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

[gameboy2000]

One number

[koopakid17]

That's my guess as well.

I thanked David because I thought that first word of the bottom clue was going to be something else!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Oh, the unfriendly buzzer. Fancy another guess on the middle clue, anyone?

[koopakid17]

ODD NUMBER.

[dougmorrisontheair]

I betcha that's it.

It is. Six and seven total 13. Thirteen is an odd number.

And fans of Taylor Swift are well aware 13 is Taylor's favorite number.

(Ashley places dice near Kevin's buzzer)

I would use the adjective "lucky" when referring to Taylor's favorite number -- but I run the risk of unintentionally plugging another show on another network.

(scattered laughter and applause from crowd)

Kevin, the champ just wouldn't let go of the dice. You had to hope for doubles or a win in a name game.

Fortunately, you did win $5000 earlier. We'll see you in another main game. Looks like that next main game will be on the next show because of time. So we'll see you then, Kevin Kolsen.

(audience cheers)

David, money roll time. And this time, it's for $10,000 a point instead of $5000 since you're on Level 4.

Remember, we allow doubles on the money roll. So a roll of boxcars means we play Big 6 for $120,000.

(scattered woos and cheers)

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

(cha-ching)
(audience cheers)

And a 1 and a 5 make for a $60,000 game of Big 6. Wally rejoins us when you come back to the dice table.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays; audience applause)

Welcome back. A couple of announcements.

Time permitting, we'll play an audience game after David's Big 6 game and, hopefully, Lucky 7.

Second, let's get a shot of the writers' lounge.

(director takes shot of writers' lounge; question writers wave to camera; scattered laughter and applause)

These are the scribes who write puzzles and the name games for our show. These are the people who wrote several questions that lead to nothing but "Anderson" answers in this episode.

(audience laughs and applauds)

A while back, they wrote questions that lead to stumpers. So they thought -- hey -- let's have a running gag and have all the name games lead to just one answer.

Well done guys. But S&P says -- never again.

(more laughter)

Okay, with that out of the way, David, ready to win $60,000 in Big 6?

[gameboy2000]

Yes, I am.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Then, Wally, may we have the numbers and a hint, please.

(FF reveal sfx)
(ding)

Fictional Character -- okay -- that narrows it down a bit.

David, since you're on Level 4, should you need a second roll, the value of the roll drops to $10,000. On the third roll, we cut it in half to $5000 -- then $2500 for the fourth and final roll.

All the other rolls apply. (Ashley hands David dice) but let's hope you can nail this word on one roll. You -- are on a roll, David.

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

Starting with the choice of the third or fourth letter.

[gameboy2000]

Third

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Due to my scheduled absence Tuesday, deadlines for this Big 6 game will be relaxed.]

(ding)

It's a B. One guess only for $60,000, David, what is this Big 6 word?

[gameboy2000]

GOBLIN

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz)

Not a goblin. We now play for $10,000 on this next roll.

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

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ohhhh -- boxcars. Didn't want that.

Quickly, we're down to $5000. Let's avoid doubles here.

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

Great roll, David. First or second letter?

[gameboy2000]

Number 1

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

First letter's an H. For $5000, name this fictional character.

[gameboy2000]

HOBBIT

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz)

That's not it either. Last shot for $2500. Need to avoid doubles and the roll of a 1 and a 3.


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

And the roll is a 4 and a 3. You've already played the 3. So, Wally, fourth letter, please.

(ding)

It's another B.

Okay. You know what the word is not. Do you know what the word is for $2500?

[gameboy2000]

No guess

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

Oh, stumped ya.

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

Well -- you do win $1000 -- but we can't move on to Lucky 7.

David, I'm just curious, how often do you read the comic strips in the newspaper?

[gameboy2000]

I read a few strips online, but not many.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Do the names Calvin and Hobbes ring any bells?

(ding)

Because we were looking for Hobbes in this case.

[gameboy2000]

I figured it out a bit too late.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Oh well. I will say this was a tough word.

"Calvin and Hobbes" was in business for ten years. To the best of my recollection, there was no animated adaptation or any other major extension of the strip. That's what made this a difficult word.

Fortunately, you do win $1000 from Level 4. We add that to your prior winnings for a total of...

(FF reveal sfx)

(audience cheers)

...$178,500 in cash and prizes. Next episode, you and Kevin will have a pivotal game.

We'll have an audience game -- after this.


(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

We seek an audience game contestant. Who wants to play? We'll bypass qualifying.

Anyone who hasn't played a main game is eligible. Next NGCer to respond gets to play.

You in?

[babytims]

Yes, I am!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back. We're about to debut an audience game here on OAR. We've been meaning to play this for some time. And on this, our first day at the Haven Studios, we figure now's a good time to play it.

And here to play it is Immanuel Tims.

(audience cheers)

Immanuel, please tell us about yourself.

[babytims]

I'm a college freshman from Los Angeles, California studying Film and Television. I'm a writer, I host a mini variety show with my friends on social media, and one day I aspire to have my own show on television!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Good luck in your aspirations. On this show, you could win this.

Tiffany: It's a new car!

(Feud car theme plays; audience cheers)

Tiffany: The Nissan Sentra SR comes with the SR premium package, clear rear bumper protection, an awesome sound system, and much more. It's a great prize worth $26,435.

And that car can be yours by playing an extension of Rock Paper Scissors.

Yes, Let's Make A Deal, which now tapes here at Haven Studios, has its own version of Rock Paper Scissors. But we here at On A Roll decided to take it one step further.

As hinted by Wally's screens, we're playing (points to crew)...

Crew: (in unison) ROCK PAPER SCISSOR LIZARD SPOCK!

(audience laughs and cheers)

(FF reveal sfx)

That's right, Immanuel. You've seen this on "The Big Bang Theory". You now get to play On A Roll's version of (points to crew)...

Crew: (in unison) ROCK PAPER SCISSOR LIZARD SPOCK!

(more laughs)

I'm impressed this worked out. (more laughs) Now -- for a refresher of who or what defeats who or what, here's Sheldon. Roll that clip, please.

(audience cheers)

Now, Immanuel, our game works just a little differently. In a moment, Wally will randomly and secretly choose Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, or Spock.

After Wally makes his pick, you'll roll our special RPSLS cube. The numbers 1 through 5 on this cube have been respectively replaced with images of a rock, a paper, a pair of scissors, a lizard, and Mr. Spock's "live long and prosper" hand signal to represent Spock.

(Ashley holds up RPSLS cube)

The 6 we've replaced with this nice message -- $100 and roll again. This literally means you pick up a crisp new $100 bill, yours to keep regardless of what happens to you in the game, and you get to roll again.

Ultimately, you will settle on a roll of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, or Spock. And if your roll is better than Wally's random pick of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, or Spock, you win the car.

(Ashley hands Immanuel RPSLS cube)

In case of a tie, you'll win $250 and we'll play a tie-breaker. We wish you good luck, Immanuel. You -- are on a roll.

---

(Immanuel, a roll code please from 1-100. In case a tie-breaker is necessary or you've rolled a 6/"$100", we go to the next roll(s) "down the list" from the rolls provided by randomizer.org.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Wait, hold on, Wally has to pick something first -- secretly.

(ding)

Okay -- Wally's chosen Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, or Spock. We'll find out his selection after your roll. Now, you're on a roll, Immanuel.

---

(Immanuel, a roll code please from 1-100. In case a tie-breaker is necessary or you've rolled a 6/"$100", we go to the next roll(s) "down the list" from the rolls provided by randomizer.org.)

[babytims]

25!
