HIGH ROLLERS [NBC PRIMETIME]: Pilot/Episode 1

[palmer7]

(fade in, cheers and applause)
[BUMPER]

Dean: (VO) Now, here's Greg with more High Rollers!

Greg: Thank you, Dean Goss. We are tied up here. James just won a car and the second game of the match, Frank has won the first game. This will decide it. We also have two prizes to add, and the first prize in Column 2 is rather special. Dean?


(theme from Silence of the Lambs)

Dean: (VO) Yes, indeed, Greg. It's the house from the movie Silence of the Lambs! The house featured in 1991 classic thriller where "Buffalo Bill" stalks Clarice Starling is actually located in rural Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. While there is no creepy basement, the scariest part of this house is that it has five bedrooms but only ONE bathroom. Don't worry, though, we're going to give you $115,002 in cash so you can build more bathrooms! Furnished by Realtor.com. That brings the total value of Column 2 to an even HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!

(audience cheers)

Greg: Boy, Clarice's house and all that money to boot. Over 1.1 million dollars in cash and prizes so far, and we're not done yet. What are we putting in Column 3?


(prize cue)

Dean: (VO) We gave you something big. Now, here's something small, but valuable. It's a platinum, emerald, and diamond ring!

A remarkable fine Colombian emerald set in an 18k and platinum two diamond side-stone ring. The 22.54 carat emerald shows very good color being deep green and highly transparent. There's slight threading towards the bottom and side of the table and it's set between two trapezoid shaped diamonds. You may select this with your certificate from 1stDibs. This prize is worth.....

Am I reading this right?

$323,570!!!

Plus, we're moving the $25,000 cash prize from Column 2 to Column 3, to make Column 3 worth $348,570!

Two and the three off the board right off the bat. Column 2 is opened up further, roll of an 8 or possibly a 12.


In which Mad Max movie does Mad Max have to "Bust a deal [and] face the wheel"? Mad Max, The Road Warrior, or Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 18)

*James buzzes in (36)*
James: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

That is correct. Now, do you know what he landed on? Gulag.

James, the bad rolls are 2 and 3. Well, technically, a three is a bad roll or rolling a two three times would also eliminate you. Roll or pass?

[jman8606]

Roll them bones!

[palmer7]

OK, rolling those bones.

(James rolls the dice)

A fiver.

[jman8606]

1 and 4!

Now, for years, Sesame Street has been on premium TV and now streaming. However, PBS will still get new episodes of the show for free -- nine months after they premiere on what streaming service? Peacock, Netflix, or HBO Max?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 86)

*Frank buzzes in (77)*
Frank: HBO MAX

That is correct. The collection of episodes they do have up there isn't much to write about. Shame on you, HBO Max.

Frank, the bad rolls are 2, 3, 4, and 10. You don't have any insurance markers.

[Frank]

I'll pass

[jman8606]

I am ready to roll!. Come on 7!

[palmer7]

(James rolls the dice)

Well, you got a 5.

No, Alaska. Although, New Jersey could probably use them. They don't have much of anything else.


James, the good rolls are 6, 7, 8, and 9.
