So basically you give one hint and then you your
partner has to guess one word answer. So it's that simple,
and then you play and try to raise money. I'm sorry,
stry to win money for the contestants. This year we
have teachers and dentists and unemployed college graduates.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Awesome.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It's really fun. And we have like a celebrity partner
up and then you switch off with the celebrity every
half hour, so it's fun so everyone gets a chance
to play with each other. But this year we have
Joe Maganello, we have a chance the Rapper. We have
Megan Trainor, who's really competitive with Khalifa. We have Jimmy Kimmel,
(01:08):

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Okay, what do we do here? Let's think of it.
Maybe Barbie, we'll do Barbie.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, that's good, all right, Lopez put them back in. Okay,
let's see all right, he can hear you again.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'm trying to think of a good clue. One word clue, Ken, Barbie.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I mean, you're really good at this dude.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
He is super kidd agad, he's super competitive.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I love these I could be here all day.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I love this.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
But now I'm like, dude, you're gonna beat me at
this game.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So he's immersed in pop culture, so exactly, it's perfect.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
And you know what, thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know what's great about this game too, is like
you can play along at home all the yeah, and
you get frustrated with the people. But then when you're
on the day Now, granted I'm here playing comfortably in
our studio, but when the lights are on, you've got
the live audience people are there. You're sometimes you get
those brain farts and you're like and you can't remember, right,
don't you feel like the case Allen?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And also when you get off, like when you when
you said the wrong clue, like if I said, like
the word doll instead of ken, if I said you'd
be like doll, right exactly, too vague. And then and
then someone else will do another clue. They go like, uh,
you know, they'll they'll say another word and it just
makes you It goes down the wrong way and it's like,
(03:59):
oh no, we're never gonna get out it right exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
But it's exciting.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And then we have a thing called Shoot the Moon
this year, and it's like a thing like if you're
really confident that you're going to get it in one clue,
you go, I want to shoot the moon and you'll
get two extra points for your partners. So it's like
you do it and it's a big deal, big production.
It's funny, and that's where Megan Trainer got mad at me.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
She was like, what I did it twice that episode?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
That's like all on the house.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
