On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Ep. 60)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(George buzzes in)

George?

George: Ferguson

(dings; audience applause)

Rebecca Ferguson. That's right.

George, crucial decision is your...

...as the numbers and playable rolls really start to shrink. Are ya playin' or passin'?

George: I would love to play.

Then please come into the box for your four rolls. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

First roll for this round -- a 5 and a 4...

...or a 9. Sum's playable in the middle row -- or you may take the 5 in the bottom row -- but that's it.

[bighornbattle]

9 in the middle row.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala teaches screen)

There's an O.

George, you may guess the middle row's clue, roll again, or pass the dice.

[bighornbattle]

ARC RICHMOND.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Incorrect -- but you may still roll or pass, George.

[bighornbattle]

Roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

And it's a 3 and a 1 -- or a 4.

It works -- but barely. Your only play is the 3 at the bottom row. So, Puala, if you will.

(Puala teaches screen)

And a lot of folks probably saw that coming -- an A.

George, you may still guess the bottom row's clue, roll again, or pass the dice.

[bighornbattle]

BE A CAVALIER

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience groans)

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

Ohhh -- that's not it. You may still roll or pass, George.

[bighornbattle]

Roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

And you got a 4 and a 6 -- or a 10.

Only way to play it is the sum -- where?

[bighornbattle]

10 middle.

[bighornbattle]

My only guess for the middle row is AFC Richmond.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala teaches screen)

Well -- George -- you jumped the gun on a guess for the middle row. Fortunately. That's right.


(dings; audience cheers)

Kids, don't try this at home. (scattered laughter from crowd) George, in a rather unorthodox way, you've earned the right to solve the puzzle.

[bighornbattle]

Ted Lasso.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

If that's right, George advances to Level 2 and we'll say farewell to Bryan.

For the game -- is it -- Ted Lasso.










































(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

That's it.

Wow -- well played game. George, that could've been disaster. Fortunately, it wasn't.

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

[bighornbattle]

No clue.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Anyone in the audience know for funsies?

(scattered reactions of "be a goldfish")

Ah ha -- Ted's advice to the players.

In the series "Ted Lasso", the title character is a soccer coach for AFC Richmond. When one of his players makes a mistake, he advises to put that mistake out of his mind by being a goldfish.

(Lorelei places dice near George's buzzer)

With that, unfortunately, we have to say farewell to Bryan. But we say farewell with a nice piece of change -- $70,200.

(audience cheers)

Bryan, we hope you had fun and everyone in Channel 4-land I'm sure is ready to welcome back a big winner.

[Bryan]

My pleasure

[dougmorrisontheair]

In addition to the money, you also take fine gifts -- and all this applause from this fine crowd in fabulous Glendale. Another nice hand for Bryan Law.

(audience cheers) (Bryan and Lorelei walk off stage)

Okay, George, it worked out at the end.

Now it's time for Big 6. You're still rolling for $5000 a point. Doubles are allowed on this money roll. So let's see boxcars for $60,000.


(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

(cha-ching)
(audience cheers)

Well -- a 5 and a 4 -- a 9 -- times $5000 -- means a $45,000 game of Big 6 is coming up -- when you come back to the dice table.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[bighornbattle]

Great match, Bryan.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Welcome back. Time permitting, we'll play an audience game. But right now, George has a decent shot at breaking the $100,000 barrier -- maybe higher -- between Big 6 and Lucky 7.

First, Big 6. Wally, numbers and a hint, please.


(FF reveal sfx)

(ding)

Music Music Music. This word may or may not be a proper noun -- but it is related to the world of music.

(Lorelei hands George dice)

Four chances to uncover as many letters as before. Same rules apply as before. George, good luck. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

Starting with a choice of the fourth or fifth letter.

[bighornbattle]

4 please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

It's an O. One guess only for $45,000, George, what is this Big 6 word?

[bighornbattle]

Melody.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Good a guess as any.

Wally -- for $45,000 -- is this word -- melody?




































(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx)

(audience groans)

No -- that's not it.

Okay -- $5000 roll coming up.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

And a choice of the third -- or first letter.

[bighornbattle]

The first letter.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Thought ya might. First letter's another vowel -- a U.

For $5000, what is this Big 6 word?

[bighornbattle]

Pass.
