Welcome back to On A Roll.

Quick check of the standings. Bryan is looking to reach Level 3 as we start a new main game.

Bryan, so far, $66,700 in cash and merchandise.

David, you have one loss against you. You'll need to win this game to stay at the dice table.

Thanks to the sidebar game we played a little earlier...

...you do have $13,000 in merchandise.

But let us begin anew -- with this new main game -- and a new main game.

(FF reveal sfx)

We're starting with an eight-letter last name. It's the correct answer to this question.

Who got on a roll -- when he woke up Vietnam during his radio broadcasts?

(ding)

---

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

No takers. I'll repeat the questions and three more letters will appear. But that's all the help I can give you.

Who got on a roll -- when he woke up Vietnam during his radio broadcasts?

(ding)

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

Bryan: Cromaker?

(buzz)

That's not it. David, chance to answer unopposed.

[gameboy2000]

No guess

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

Oh, I thought "he woke up" and "Vietnam" were good context clues in this question.

(ding)

Adrian Cronauer. The movie "Good Morning, Vietnam", which starred the late Robin Williams, is based on Adrian Cronauer's experiences as a radio show host during the Vietnam war. So that's why we didn't preface our question with a fictional character. Adrian Cronauer was a real person -- and unfortunately no longer with us.

(FF reveal sfx)

Okay, let's see if we have better luck with this next name game. Here's a seven-letter answer for this question.

What fictional character; now we're dealing with a work of fiction on this question...

What fictional character got on a roll -- when he engaged in risky business?

(ding)

---

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

Mmm'kay -- we're about to see all but one letter after I repeat this question.

What fictional character got on a roll -- when he engaged in risky business?

(ding)

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

(David buzzes in)

David?

David: Goodsed

(buzz)

No. That's not it. Bryan, your chance to answer unopposed.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz buzz)

No answer in time. I betcha a lot of folks in the crowd know.

(most ladies: "Goodsen!")

(ding)

Yes, Joel Goodsen, played by Tom Cruise in the movie "Risky Business". They remember a certain scene where Joel dances to a certain Bob Seger song.

(scattered cheers from the ladies)

Huh kay. Still looking for a winner. (scans card) I've got a good feeling about this one. It's cleverly written, too.

(FF reveal sfx)

It's another seven-letter answer -- for this new question.

What game show favorite got on a roll -- when he achieved comedic poetry as his goal?

(ding)

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

(scattered groans)

Could someone call Taylor and let her know "After Midnight" may start around 4 a.m.? (scattered laughter from crowd) Only kidding.

Seriously, I think light bulbs will appear over players' heads after I repeat the question and three more letters appear.

What game show favorite got on a roll -- when he achieved comedic poetry as his goal?

(ding)

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

[dougmorrisontheair]

(David buzzes in)

David?

David: Russell.

(dings; audience cheers)

Nipsey Russell! We finally got one. Third time's the charm.

Okay, David, now that the spell is broken, please come into the box. Four rolls are yours. Before you roll, let's set up a new board.

(FF reveal sfx; Lorelei poses by board)

Two-word clues all the way. David, you need this game. You -- are on a roll.

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

First roll in Game 2 is a 3 and a 4...

...or a 7.

[gameboy2000]

3 and 4 at the top.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lorelei touches screen)

Starting with an M...

(Lorelei touches screen)

...and an I. David, you know the drill -- guess the top clue or roll again.

[gameboy2000]

Comic books

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Good guess. Certainly fit. But -- that's not it. Okay, you're still on a roll


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

And a small roll -- 2 and a 1...

...or a 3.

[gameboy2000]

1 on the top, 2 in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lorelei touches screen)

From the top, a C...

(Lorelei touches screen)

...and from the middle, an A.

David, you may guess the top row, guess the middle clue, or roll again.

[gameboy2000]

Guess the top

COMIC STRIP

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

There we go. David, you were determined it to guess it was "comic" something -- and there it is.

Now, with that clue, you have a chance to win the game *and* pick up an extra hint in Big 6 if you can solve this puzzle right now.

[gameboy2000]

Peanuts

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

For the game -- is it -- Peanuts?




































(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

(audience groans)

Ohh -- sorry -- unfriendly buzzer says that's not it.

Fortunately, you're still on a roll, David.

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

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Rats! Now ya don't -- due to the square pair. Sorry, David.

Players, please trade places. Bryan, you're in business now. Before you roll...

...please take one free letter.

[Bryan]

1, second row please!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lorelei touches screen)

It's an F.

Bryan, you may guess the middle row's clue or take the last row in the round.

[Bryan]

FAT CAT

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's it.

Bryan -- with those two clues -- you get a chance to solve the puzzle and win another game.

[Bryan]

It is…..GARFIELD!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For the game -- is it -- Garfield?






































(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

That's it.

Just for fun, anyone want to guess the last clue?

[Bryan]

EATS LASAGNA

[dougmorrisontheair]

Sounds like something Garfield does with some element of routine.

And -- yes. The fat cat who eats lasagna in a long-running comic strip is indeed Garfield.

Okay, David, bad news, this is your second loss. Good news, you did pick up that maid service for a year worth $13,000. That plus more prizes are waiting for you.

Please stick around here -- because, Bryan, we're diving right into Big 6 and, time permitting, a new main game. So, with that, please take your money roll for $5000 a point.

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

(cha-ching)
(audience cheers)

WOAH!

Call yer maw, call yer paw, call yer bro in Arkansas.

Bryan's play for top dollar. $60,000. Wally, may we have the numbers and a hint, please?

(hard change)

(FF reveal sfx)

(ding)

Star Trek. That means the word relates in some way to the Star Trek *franchise* -- not limited to the original series. And this word may or may not be a proper noun.

You know how the game works by now, Bryan. You -- are on a roll.


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

Starting with a choice of the first or fifth letter.

[Bryan]

First

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

First letter is a P.

One guess only for $60,000, Bryan. What is this Star Trek-related Big 6 work?
