Margarita, piņa colada or piņata. Which of these would you most likely let your nine-year-old child hit at a birthday party?
Doug: Dom.
Dom: Piņata.
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) Yeah, don't let Junior hit the margarita or piņa colada. Save *those* for our wrap party!
Doug: Dom, as I hope you've seen, that right answer entitles you to a -- (hiccup) -- excuse me -- (audience laughs) -- free roll of the bones. So roll 'em.
(Dom rolls; one cube rolls out of the table and onto the floor)
|
Doug: Well -- first time for everything. (stage hand "rescues" cube; hands it back to Doug) Leave 'em laughin' -- that's what I say. OK, Dom, let's try it again.
|
    
|
Doug: And that's a legit roll for a whopping CY$300. Now until a new round starts, you're risking everything in the pot every time you roll the dice. Every safe roll adds its value in hundreds of cyber-dollars to the pot.
Anytime the dice roll totals 7, that's a bust -- meaning everything in the pot goes into the bartender's tip jar and you score nothing for the round.
Doug: But -- anytime you throw a double, that's where these giganormous screens come into play. These make up the double decision board. If you roll a double, you'll have the option of taking the safe route and having us add CY$100 per point to the pot -- or go for whatever's hiding behind the corresponding screen.
Those screens hide cyber-money, surprises and a bust -- which is just as bad as throwing a 7.
So -- wanna bank 300 or roll 'em again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: I need money to fund a trip -- so ima bank it. ;)
(scattered reactions of surprise)
Doug: Have you been sampling the wine, too? (audience laughs) No one stops at 300 -- well -- until now.
                
|
Doug: Another historic first on the last show for VBS -- banking three bills.
Now -- we've never done this -- played "what if" during the main game. What would've happened if you rolled again? This won't count.
|
(scattered groans)
Doug: You would've had a double decision -- CY$600 or maybe something better. Now since that didn't count, we're going to leave whatever's in that double 3 screen alone. Same goes for everything else.
(Doug pauses)
Doug: I had to make sure I saw that for real -- after all that time I spent at the cash bar. (audience laughs) Okay, Dom with the early lead. Next question.
Scott Pelley's daughter, Brian Williams' daughter or Diane Sawyer's daughter. Who looks her best naked? (audience laughs) Making sure you're paying attention. Here's the real question.
Scott Pelley's daughter, Brian Williams' daughter or Diane Sawyer's daughter. Who is in the cast of the HBO series "Girls"?
Doug: And -- that's -- Dom.
Dom: Brian Williams' daughter
Doug: Brian's daughter Allison is one of the stars of "Girls". You're right. (audience applause) Dice are hot again for you, Dom. Roll 'em.
|
|
Doug: Eight, skate and donate. Seeding a new pot with CY$800. Bank now and you double your score -- or you could risk and roll 'em.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: Let it ride. ;)
|
 
|
Doug: Eight, skate and donate again. Doubles the pot to a sweet CY$1600. Roll 'em again or bank again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Dom: Bank it.
Doug: Banking 1600.
  
|
(ding) (audience applause)
Doug: All right, Dom's up to 2400. Michael's still on the 500 we spotted him. Here comes your next question. Pepper, paprika or pickles. What are we using in the wine? (audience laughs) Just kidding.
Pepper, Paprika or Pickles. What was the first name of Buddy Sorrel's wife on "The Dick Van Dyke Show"?
Doug: (hiccup) Mi--chael.
Michael: Pickles.
Doug: Uhh -- yeah, that's it. (audience applause) Roll those bones.
Michael: Come on dice! Stay on the table! (audience laughs)
|
|
|
Doug: Seven-ah! (more laughs) You didn't I was going to let *that* slide? (more laughs) Michael, normally that's a bust. But you rolled a 7 on the free roll. So we do seed the pot with CY$700. But if you roll another 7 in this round, that moolah goes buh-bye.
So -- bank the 700 -- or risk and roll again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I will roll again. Many moon come...an eleven...er!
|
|
|
Doug: Ohhh, the dice and the crowd just corrected you. It's many moon come -- NINER! Safe roll brings the pot up to CY$1600. Bank 'em or roll 'em?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: CY$1600 can get me a goldfish bowl, but I need some more money to put something in that bowl: fish! (audience laughs) I will roll them one more time.
|
|
|
Doug: And a small roll -- but safe one. A 3 for CY$300 more. That should be enough to at least buy Goldfish crackers at the dollar store down the street. (more laughs) Keep rollin' or bank and make this a tie ballgame?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I lied. I'll roll one more time.
|
|
|
Doug: Oh, Michael, for shame, for shame, for shame. Ya went bust.
Yeah -- went to the well one time too many. (burps) (audience laughs) Like *I* should talk. (more laughs) All right, Round 4. Dom still with a lead.
The band Timbuk3 was best known for the hit song "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades". It was lead by a husband and wife duo. As of today's typing, are the husband and wife still married to each other?
Doug: Dom.
Dom: No.
Doug: Their divorce was finalized in 1995. You're right. (audience applause) As for me, the room's spinning so much, *I* gotta wear shades.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Seven-ah! (more laughs) Well, thank goodness you did that on the freebie. We still spot CY$700 in the pot. Next time you roll a 7 in this round, the moolah *goes* to pot.
Dom: We rollin'.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Gadzooks. That round was about as quick as the marriage of the husband and wife from Timbuk3.
Doug: Well -- Round 5. Michael, there's still hope. But ya gotta win a question here. Let's see if you win this one. Beer, doughnuts or Memphis tourism. Heck -- all three are my kinda party. (audience laughs) Let's try this again from the top.
Beer, doughnuts or Memphis tourism. Elvis Presley appeared in a TV commercial for what?
Doug: Dom.
Dom: Beer.
Doug: Where? (audience laughs) Oh, that's your answer. (looks at card) Uh, sorry, it's not beer. Elvis appeared in a commercial for Southern Maid Doughnuts way back in 1954. So that means Michael gets a free roll.
|
|
|
|
Doug: And -- just a 3 to start. Well -- we've got this, a sixth round and a catch-up to go, Michael. I think I know what you want to do -- but you've gotta tell me. Roll again or bank?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I will roll again.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Well -- got a double decision here. Now, you'll recall earlier in the game, Dom banked right after the free roll, we played "what if" and he rolled a double 3. We left the double decision board alone after that.
Doug: But now, we'll see what's hiding in that double 3 screen on the board. *But* -- first thing's first, Michael. Wanna have us add CY$600 to the pot -- or take what's hiding in the double 3 screen on the board?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: In the last game I played, the double decision board wasn't good to me, but I'm hoping that my luck will change this time. I'm going for what's behind the board.
Doug: Going to the screen. Dom, this could've been yours. Michael, this is yours. What on Earth is this?
HOT DICE CONTINUES
