On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Ep. 57; aud. game)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, as noted elsewhere in NGC, all the netgames that I host will be taking a holiday break -- save for the MG side of MG-HSH.

So we're coming up on the last act of OAR for 2023. But we'll be back for more in 2024.

Before we go, let's play one more audience game. Who's in?

No qualifying this time. Next to respond who didn't play a main (or the previous) audience game gets to play.

[billmcdee]

O I will end this drought and offer to play this, without a doubt!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays; audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll. Let's try one more time to give away that trip to New York City.

And here to play our next audience game is Bill McDee.

(audience cheers)

Welcome, Bill, please tell us about yourself.

[billmcdee]

I am 56 years young but almost 57, I live near historic Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania with my wife of almost 33 years and our 24 year old son.

I work full time as an office clerk and order entry clerk for a family owned business in town that sells equipment for first responders.

In my spare time I enjoy vintage game shows, board games, card games, vintage TV and watching US History documentaries.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Great to have you here from Pennsylvania. You're about to play our version of Joker.

Quick review of what's at stake. It's a trip for two to New York. Six nights at The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue, $4000 in meal credits and tickets to a Madonna concert in late January. Prizes worth $23,380.

All you have to do is uncover the joker. And to uncover the joker, you've got to win some chips with a roll of this cube Havana's holding in her hot little hands.

Now the 5 and 6 have been replaced with cash awards.

The 5 is replaced with $50.

The 6 is replaced with $100.

If you roll a money prize, you'll collect that much money and you'll get to roll again. When you roll a number of 4 or less, you'll win that many chips -- and I'll explain what happens next.

(Havana hands Bill cube)

Right now, Bill, you are on a roll.

(Bill, roll code from 1-100, please.)

(audience cheers as Bill rolls)

(scattered groans)

Oh dear -- just two chips.

That means you get to place chips by two cards. All at once, please choose two cards by number, please.

[billmcdee]

Well in honor of Bob Barker's birth month and mine, and in honor of Lawrence Welk, I'll place them on a 1 uh and a 2 uh.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ah -- I see what you're doing there -- 12 -- December. I can relate. I've got a birthday in December, as well.

So, Wally, lets place those chips, please.

(ding)

Now, let's start at number 1. If the joker's there, you're going to New York City.


(buzz)

(audience groans)

The 2 of diamonds. Well, seems appropriate we're going to 2. How ya feelin', Bill, going to the last card?

[billmcdee]

I feel that I'd rather have a 3 to 1 odds of winning than no chance at all, so I'm feeling pretty good I must say.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, let's cross our fingers and hope the joker's behind -- number -- two!


































(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

No, it's a 4. Where was the joker, Wally?


(FF reveal sfx)

Number 4.

Bill, we can't send you to New York. But we can send you to Palm Springs. Tiffany will tell you more about a great getaway to Palm Springs as we say goodbye. Sound good?

[billmcdee]

A far cry better than a prize I once won which was a trip to a palm reader!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Trust me. It's much better.

Friends, until next time, make it a great day, keep the faith, and treasure your loved ones.


(closing theme plays; audience applause)

(FF reveal sfx)
