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

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

...in the last name of a recent Kennedy Center Honoree. If you know the name is....

...Dionne Warwick -- then you are -- ON A ROLL!

(opening theme plays; audience cheers)

And here come the ladies to help us out. Today, Shelly is at the game board...

...Candice 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. First thing on the agenda today is a rubber game of a match with -- today's rollers.


(theme plays; audience applause)

Nels Snesrud and Kevin Kolsen are coming back to the dice table.

Nels is looking to win a game. Kevin is looking to win big in Bonusville -- but has so far won $14,600.

(audience cheers)

You each have a loss against you, players. So, unless something goes haywire in this game, we'll be saying goodbye to the runner-up of this game. So we want to dive right into a main game -- with a name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we're starting with a famous person's eight-letter last name. Players, as you know, I'll ask a toss-up question -- and three letters in the last name will randomly appear. When they pop in, you may signal and give an answer.

Good luck, players, and away we go.

Who got on a roll -- after landing the title role on "iCarly"?

(Kevin buzzes in)

Kevin?

Kevin: Cosgrove

(dings; audience applause)

Miranda Cosgrove is right.

Okay, Kevin, please join us in the box. Four rolls are yours. Before you roll, we need a game board loaded up, please.

(FF reveal sfx; Shelly poses by game board)

And there it is -- three two-word clues leading to the identity of a person, place or thing.

The clues are hidden by numbers.

Kevin, 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.

(Candice hands Kevin dice)

So -- you've got the rules and the dice. Kevin, you're trying to reach Level 4. Nels is over here trying to get on Level 1. Good luck, everyone. Kevin, you -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)

Starting with a 3 and a 5.

Kevin, as you know, you may play any 3 and 5 -- and they don't have to be on the same row -- or you may play the sum and play any 8.

[koopakid17]

3 and 5 along the top.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

Starting with an M...

(Shelly touches screen)

...and an A. Kevin, as you know, you may guess the top clue or roll again. Anytime you're wrong on a clue or the overall guess of the puzzle, there's no penalty and you're still on a roll.

[koopakid17]

I'll roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)

And this time, it's a 4 and a 1...

...or a 5.

[koopakid17]

1 and 4 in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

Starting that row with an I...

(Shelly touches screen)

...and an N. Kevin, you may now guess the middle clue or roll again.

[koopakid17]

Still nothing. I’ll roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ohhh -- first double in the game. Sorry, Kevin.

Players, please trade places. Nels, you're now in control of the game. Before you take command of the last roll in this round...

...please take one free letter. Choose one number from one row that's not blocked and Shelly will reveal the letter behind that number.

[nelson21]

One on top

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

And it's a J. Nels, you may guess the top clue or roll the dice.

[nelson21]

Roll the dice

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Nels rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Rats -- and boxcars quickly derail you. Sorry about that.

Kevin, no sense coming back into the box since we're out of rolls...

...but with the double, you're still allowed one free letter.

[koopakid17]

#5 in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

And it's an A. Kevin, you're still entitled to a guess of the middle clue. A miss or a guess means we start another name game.

[koopakid17]

No guess.

[dougmorrisontheair]

No guess means we leave the board as it is.

We've got to replenish the supply of rolls. We'll do that -- after someone wins a name game.

(Shelly touches screen)

And it's an A. Kevin, you're still entitled to a guess of the middle clue. A miss or a guess means we start another name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And there it is -- a nine-letter answer to this question.

Who got on a roll -- after landing the title role in the movie "Thor"?

Kevin?

Kevin: Hemsworth

(dings; audience applause)

That's it -- Chris Hemsworth.

All right, Kevin, please step back into the box. Fresh supply of rolls here. As Candice hands you the dice, you -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)

And you're starting off with a 1 and 3...

...or a 4.

[koopakid17]

1 and 3 on the bottom.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

An S...

(Shelly touches screen)

...and an M. (scattered laughter and chuckles from crowd) Oh you sick savages! (more laughter from crowd)

Kevin, while we're still on the air, you may guess the third row's clue -- see what I did there? -- or roll again.

[koopakid17]

I don't know, I'm kinda having fun with this. I'll roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Game's fun without the doubles.

(audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)

And there's a big roll -- 5 and a 6...

...or a yo-leven.

Kevin, the fives are already gone and blocked. You may take any 6 or the 11 in the middle row.

[koopakid17]

Let's try the 6 on the top.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

And you can get an R for that.

Kevin, you may guess the top row's clue or roll again.

[koopakid17]

I gotta roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ahhh -- darn. Square pair ends your turn. Sorry about that.

Players, please trade places. Nels, you're back in business.

Please take one free letter; select one number.

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Nels is on vacation as I type this. Multiple matters will make my visits to NGC few and far between over the few days. So, we're going to make this free letter pick an untimed down.]
