On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Ep. 58; aud. game)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from crowd)

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Could've been. Certainly fit. But the unfriendly buzzer tells us -- twerking not working at the top.

So with that, we need to get ready for another name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And there it is -- an eight-letter answer for this next question.

Who got on a roll -- with explorations underwater?

(Bryan and Kevin, please PM me your buzz code from 1-100 and your answer.)

[koopakid17]

Thank you for getting me to say “twerking” for no good reason. 

[dougmorrisontheair]

**Bryan passes**

(Kevin buzzes in)

Kevin?

Kevin: Cousteau

(dings; audience applause)

Oui. Jacques Cousteau.

Kevin, quatre rouleaux -- er, uh -- (scattered laughter from crowd) four rolls for you. As Candice hands you the dice, you -- are on a roll.

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

And you're starting this round with a 1 and a 6...

...or a 7.

[koopakid17]

1 in the middle, 6 on the bottom.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

A C from the middle row...

(Shelly touches screen)

...and an N from the bottom row.

Kevin, you may guess the middle row, guess the bottom row, or roll again.

[koopakid17]

I'll roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

And you get a 4 and a 1...

...or a 5.

Now, the ones are gone and blocked -- but you may take the 5 at the bottom row for the sum -- or take the 4 at the middle or the bottom row.

[koopakid17]

The 4 in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

There's a T.

Kevin, you may guess the middle clue or roll the bones again.

[koopakid17]

I’ll guess: CURTAILED

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Certainly fits -- but incorrect.

Two rolls to go, Kevin. You're still on a roll.

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

It's a 6 and a 3 -- or a 9.

Again -- limited roll -- sixes are gone. You may take any 9 for the sum or any 3.

[koopakid17]

I'll try the top again. #3, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

There's another I. Kevin, you may guess the top clue or take the last roll of this round.

[koopakid17]

I'll guess...

TWIRLING

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's it. Kevin, you still have a roll left -- but you may not need it. With that clue revealed, you have a chance to solve the overall puzzle.

[koopakid17]

I'll roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

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

Bypassing a chance at a win and getting a 3 and a 1 -- or a 4.

You may play the sum at the bottom row or take a 3.

[koopakid17]

The 3 in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

There's an N.

Kevin, you may guess the middle clue if you'd like.

A wrong guess or a pass means we go to an apparently crucial name game.

[koopakid17]

I will guess: CONTAINER.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's right.

Now then -- we're still out of rolls. However, you're still entitled to a guess of the overall puzzle, Kevin. If you're wrong, we play another name game.

[koopakid17]

Doesn't help me all that much, but I'll take a stab.

LAZY SUSAN.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(mixed reactions from the crowd)

Lazy Susan is so la-- wrong show. (scattered laughter from crowd) I know what you're talking about, Kevin.

For the game -- is it -- a lazy Susan?













































(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

No. Good try, though.

So, let's get ready for a name game. By the way, we're not quite in play-or-pass mode. It's on the horizon -- but every roll beyond doubles *can* be played. So the winner of this next name game is automatically rolling the bones.

So with that, here's that name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we have a nine-letter answer for this question

Who gets on a roll -- covering pro baseball for The Athletic and FOX Sports?

(ding)

---

(Bryan and Kevin, please PM me your buzz code from 1-100 and your answer.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

No takers. I'll repeat the question and offer three more letters. You're on your own from there.

Who gets on a roll -- covering pro baseball for The Athletic and FOX Sports?

(ding)

(Bryan and Kevin, please PM me your buzz code from 1-100 and your answer.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

*** Brian passes ***

(Kevin buzzes in)

Kevin?

Kevin: Lowenthal.

(buzz)

Tonight -- let it be -- Lowenthal. Wasn't that a Chris Berman line? (scattered laughter from crowd) Sorry, Kevin, that's not it -- but it certainly fits. Bryan, free guess for you.

[Bryan]

ROSENTHAL

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's it -- Ken Rosenthal.

Next time you see that other network's game of the week and you see a sideline reporter in a nice suit with a bow tie, it's probably him.

Okay, Bryan, dice are yours. Come on into the box and please take them from Candice. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Bryan rolls)

And you're starting this round with a 5 and a 3...

...or an 8.

[Bryan]

5 and 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Shelly touches screen)

An S...

(Shelly touches screen)

...and an I -- and -- yes -- this puts us in play or pass mode.

This means at least one roll beyond doubles cannot be played.

So, Bryan, you may still guess the bottom row's clue, roll again, or, if you think the dice are going to go cold for any reason, you may pass the dice to Kevin.

[Bryan]

I’ll roll one more
