ON A ROLL: After Dark (CBS): Special

[palmer7]

Well, College Week will "take place" on On a Roll (probably with Mark L. Walberg "hosting" that week). In the meantime, James Greek signed up for College Week, but won't get to participate in that due to lack of participation. So, here's how "After Dark" works.


1. We play two full matches (four puzzles, four bonus games). First win is worth as much as $120,000; sweeping the match is worth as much as $240,000. Cars will be more expensive than the daytime run.
2. After the second bonus game, we'll have a musical guest and then move on with the second match.
3. We'll be moving the late night version to Studio 36, current home of American Idol.


So, I need two people to check in. First, James Greek, and second, a challenger for the second match. When the champion has been determined, I'll need him to sign in as well.

[Deleted]

Checking in! Thank you Greg!

[Deleted]

Me too I'll be the challenger!

[palmer7]

Actually, Jay, that won't be necessary. Jon and Matt still have to break their tie. Jon and Matt, would you please check in?

[mringgenberg]

Checking In

[jmdarrall]

I'm in, too!

(cold open)


(I am in my dressing room when there's a knock at my door.)



Greg: Yo?



(Drew Carey walks in)



Drew: Hey, Greg. Uh, I just wanted to come in and tell you that you can't hog 33 forever. We gotta tape my version of Price there.



Greg: Now, Drew, I had the studio reserved today. We're taping the late night version.



(Drew delivers a memo) Drew: Not any more.




(I read it) Greg: "Priority access"? You've been given priority access? (I throw the sheet in the air in frustration) What'd you do, bed Mrs. Moonves?



Drew: Noooooooooooooo, I didn't. Look, if it makes you feel any better, Studio 36 isn't being used.



Greg: 36? The Idol Stage? (I perk up at that) Thanks a lot, buddy! (I dash out the door as the crew starts making preparations)

[PRE-OPENING]


Shadoe Stevens: (VO) Hey, all you night owls! The news is over, and you're still up? Well, don't fight off that insomnia, because we've got a special late-night edition of one of the hottest new game shows in America. It's On a Roll: After Dark!



[OPENING THEME]








(the camera goes through the O as we take a look at the brand new set)


Tonight, we've got a special musical performance by Walk The Moon! Also, our contestants could drive home in this brand new Jaguar convertible!





And I'm ex-New Hollywood Square Shadoe Stevens! And now, here's the star of our show, a man who shouldn't be up this late..... GREG PALMER!



(I walk out to cheers and applause)



Greg: Thank you. Thank you very much, Shadoe. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to On a Roll: After Dark, the late-night version of everyone's favorite game show. With Everyone being a small hamlet north of Scituate, Rhode Island. (audience laughs) For those of you who will ask the inevitable question, (pretends to freak out) "Where's David Letterman?!" (returns to normal) I will tell you the answer. He's retired, and he ain't ever comin' back. Yes, "ain't" isn't a real word.


But seriously folks, I would like to thank Mr. Letterman for giving up his time slot permanently. I'd also like to thank him for allowing me to use the introduction line he was given on his first Late Night. And, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like The Late Show when Stephen Colbert is done with it. (audience cheers)


All right, enough of that. This is basically the same game, we're just going to have two matches and a musical guest. Oh, and that Jaguar's going to be up for grabs during the show as well. We might give away four of those! (audience cheers) And how do you like our new set? (shot of the new set, audience cheers) Yeah, this is the stage that American Idol uses, except we fixed it up. Well, Bente fixed it up, and she did a good job of it. Looks like a Vegas showroom. I bet Rod Roddy would've loved it.


Anyway, if your brain cells are still working this late, try playing along with our contestants. If they're not working this late, then just sit back and relax anyway. Maybe we'll put you to sleep. But you'll definitely have sweet dreams with tonight's two models. Please welcome Miss April 2015 and Miss January 2015, Alexandra Tyler and Brittny Ward!



(Alexandra and Brittny come out to cheers and applause)









Helllooooooooooo, ladies.



(they adlib hellos)



Now, you all know why you're here. We want to rehabilitate you into mainstream America. You two have been subjected to the exploitation of Hugh Hefner.


Alexandra: But aren't we being exploited now?


(audience cheers)


Greg: Ohhhh, we're going to have some fun tonight I am sure. Alexandra, you won the toss backstage. Would you like to work the dice or the letters?


Alexandra: The dice.



Greg: OK. Ladies, get into position. Let's welcome the two people who are going to be On a Roll tonight!



[CONTESTANT INTRO]




                 [ ]



[MATT]                              [JON]
[      ]                            [       ]





(cheers and applause as the two contestants come out)



Now, if these two people look familiar to you, they should. On Friday's show, they both won a game and tied with a score of $1,000 in the bonus game. Jon Darrall is a 32-year-old test prep instructor from South Carolina whose interests include music, travel, MMA, and games of all types. Matt Ringgenberg is a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, Iowa who just recently won his second gold medal in the Special Olympics in Cheerleading. We continue their saga tonight. So, we'll start with Matt this time. What's up with you? How have you enjoyed this experience so far?

[mringgenberg]

It's been a lot of fun so far.

[palmer7]

Well good. And how are you liking Los Angeles so far? What have you been doing lately?

[mringgenberg]

As Randy Newman once said, I love L.A.

Not much else going on now for me.

[palmer7]

All right. Well, good luck to you tonight. You currently have winnings totaling $5,650 in cash. And over here, Jon has $86,150 in cash and prizes. (audience cheers) And he is doing very well. Jon, how are you doing tonight? How do you like the set and everything?

[palmer7]

Oh no.... he's got the male gaze. Maybe rehabilitating Playmates wasn't such a good idea. (I snap my fingers in front of Jon's face) Jon!

[jmdarrall]

Oh, yeah, I'm here! I'm just getting used to playing a nighttime game show. The set is awesome, and the "scenery" ain't too bad either, if ya get my drift.

[palmer7]

Oh yeah, I totally get you. Anyway, is there anything you wanted to tell us before we get started?

[jmdarrall]

Yeah...good luck, Matt, you're gonna need it.

[palmer7]

Oooh, the gauntlet's been thrown. Good luck to you. Gentlemen, we've doubled the stakes in primetime. Winning the first game could be worth as much as $120,000 to you; while winning both games is worth as much as $240,000 in the bonus game. So, you could conceivably win as much as $720,000. (audience cheers)



So, let's get to the first question.


What New England city is stuck with the nickname "Witch City"?



(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 60)
*Matt buzzes in (60, BULLSEYE!)*
Matt?
Matt: Salem, MA
Right you are. (audience cheers)



OK then, let's take a look at the puzzle for this first game.




              [ ] [ ]


[?][2][3][4][5]

[1][2][3] [4][?][6] [7][8][9][10][11]

[1][2] [3][4][?][6][7] [8][9][10] [11][12]




(singing) Doo doo doo doooooo..... (audience chuckles)



Hey, I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, Jon and Matt know the rules, but for those of you just tuning in, I'll explain. Matt, you'll have four rolls of the dice. Each time you roll, you'll use the dice to reveal letters off the board. You can either clear the actual numbers that come up on the dice, or you can clear the sum of the numbers. You can pick any of those numbers that you wish unless they're covered by a question mark. Those are locked and can't be revealed until after you solve that row. One word of warning..... you do not want to roll doubles. If you do, your opponent gets control and a free letter. Now, once you reveal letters in a row or rows, you may attempt to solve one of those rows. If you're right, you have a chance to solve the puzzle. If you can do that, then you'll play Lucky Seven for as much as $120,000! (audience cheers)


Now, did I explain the rules well enough?

[mringgenberg]

Yes

[palmer7]

Good. Then here are the dice. You are On a Roll.


(everyone cheers as Matt rolls the dice)
