00:00 What would you like me to pick? Oh, stop really? All right, mixed messages? Yeah. That's what I'm feeling.
00:05 Welcome to Ms. Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most spectacular mistakes and or
00:14 entertaining mishaps during games played on late night talk shows. Movie? Two words? Three words?
00:20 Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
00:24 Number 10. Guessing secret ingredients. The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. You might
00:30 be a world famous chef, but that doesn't make you a professional at playing secret ingredient.
00:35 The Tonight Show staff throws Gordon Ramsay and his fellow contestants for a loop with these
00:40 insane dishes. Not only are the answers strange, the players are quickly stumped by almost everything.
00:48 Quail s*** with popping candy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ramsay's culinary skills do produce partial credit
00:54 for one question, but that doesn't make up for his other misses. It's unclear if anybody really
01:00 wants to play this game either. Have you seen the hell? Goodness gravy. We can't blame them when
01:11 they have to try to eat crickets in a chocolate cake. The whole thing feels like one massive fail,
01:16 with the celebrity chef barely making it out alive. My thanks to Gordon Ramsay.
01:21 Number nine. The Tallest Mountain. The Late Late Show with James Corden. The catch of this game
01:30 is that you can lose money for yourself and others. James Corden runs through several contestants in
01:36 Know For Your Row, witnessing a hot streak that stops with Isabella. The best part about this
01:43 game is watching the next person go, "Oh no!" The audience member already looks worried before
01:51 the host even starts talking. She then makes the mistake of saying Mount Rushmore is the
01:56 tallest mountain in the world. What is the tallest mountain in the world? Mount Rushmore.
02:02 With her neighbors wincing, she takes her seat with instant regret.
02:10 This mishap shows that you should always think carefully before answering.
02:14 Along with embarrassing herself, she also prevents her row from winning.
02:18 Number eight. Blind Taste Test. Jimmy Kimmel Live. When Gordon Ramsay stops by Jimmy Kimmel Live,
02:31 he tests the host's ability to decipher food blindfolded. The simple items prove to be much
02:37 tougher for the blindfolded presenter than anybody could have imagined.
02:41 Kimmel literally seems to have trouble figuring out that he's eating cheddar cheese.
02:51 He easily agitates Ramsay with his humorous commentary as he struggles.
03:04 The same problem occurs when he's eating plain chicken, once again testing the chef's patience.
03:09 We're not sure how we'd do in the same situation, but we hope it would be better than this.
03:14 Number seven. Knowing Selena Gomez. Jimmy Kimmel Live. How well does this pop star know herself?
03:28 According to this game, not as much as we might think. She faces off against Ashley during this
03:34 trivia game. With a few exceptions, the superfan gives Selena Gomez a run for her money.
03:53 Several obscure questions are a breeze for the contestant as she surprises the singer.
03:59 Gomez tries to fight back, but ultimately, she loses to one of her biggest fans.
04:04 She appears to be embarrassed and even somewhat humbled by the extent of Ashley's knowledge.
04:18 All the while, she's still a good sport about not winning.
04:22 Number six. Risqué Pictionary. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. You never know what will
04:35 happen during Pictionary, including what the contestants will put on paper. In this segment,
04:41 Katherine O'Hara tries to draw the Star Wars villain Darth Vader with mixed results.
04:46 The comedian's funny and unexpected pictures confuse Shailene Woodley.
04:50 Starman. Star. Star.
04:54 They also prompt the likes of Jimmy Fallon to point out their risqué nature.
04:59 Darth Vader? Darth Vader, yes, of course. What was that? That is Darth.
05:07 O'Hara tries to explain herself, but it's too late as the images speak for themselves.
05:13 Woodley is unable to guess, but at least we get a hilarious moment out of it.
05:18 You be the judge of whether or not that looks like a gun. That was a gun.
05:22 So far, Kat Tong looks like I'm a genius.
05:26 Number five. Charades with Charles Barkley. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
05:32 Here, Jimmy Fallon pairs up with a not-so-amazing player on a Tonight Show game.
05:38 Indeed, NBA veteran Charles Barkley can't help the host in a major fail.
05:43 For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fallon tries to show off his best martial arts moves.
05:49 Barkley proudly guesses "Karate Kid" in a hilariously incorrect response.
05:53 Hey, Karate Kid.
05:58 Both players seem out of sync, infusing this segment with plenty of comedic friction.
06:06 The lack of chemistry also translates to the second round with the athlete trying to act
06:11 out a vanilla ice song. Booze, liquor, shot, booze, Jägermeister, I have no idea, whiskey,
06:17 what's in the shot? In a funny outburst,
06:19 Fallon calls his teammate out for not giving him good clues.
06:23 The hell was that? Cold.
06:25 But that's not what he does. I was out his baby.
06:27 It was cold. Couldn't you do like a thing and do like a vanilla ice type of thing?
06:33 Number four. Nathan Lane vs. Jimmy Fallon. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
06:39 Nathan Lane and Jimmy Fallon are one prime example of two personalities clashing.
06:44 Thankfully for those watching, this creates a hilarious rapport between them.
06:49 Their first round of Pyramid ends up being a catastrophe as Lane doesn't get anything right.
06:55 Titanic, uh, Titanic.
06:57 You're standing on the end of the Titanic.
07:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the catchphrase.
07:03 Okay, yeah, you're great.
07:07 This disaster creates a more combative relationship between the teammates,
07:11 with the Birdcage star going on a funny rant.
07:14 Not since Nick Jonas has someone played this game so well.
07:19 As badly as they start off, we do love the witty back and forth banter that ensues.
07:24 Even though they prosper in the second round, they still lose the overall game,
07:28 running out of luck. They clearly need to reconsider their tactics for next time.
07:33 I have show me the money. I have like run for his run. You get what city are you in?
07:38 It's like you just came out of a coma. My thanks to Nathan Lane and Keri Russell.
07:44 Number three. Martin Short explains a podcast. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
07:50 Even though Steve Martin and Martin Short might be friends,
07:53 they aren't exactly the best password players.
07:57 They face off against Jimmy Fallon and Margaret Qualley with constant banter to keep things light.
08:02 Electric. Are you allowed to do gestures?
08:06 When Short tries to give clues for the word podcast, he runs into several hilarious problems.
08:14 He defies the rules of the game in order to try to help his teammate.
08:19 Only murders in the building.
08:20 This all culminates in Short saying the word,
08:26 a memorable mistake that sabotages his team's chances.
08:29 OK, ready? Podcast.
08:32 The entire moment highlights the two legends and their ability to improvise through the pain.
08:39 Number two. Taylor Swift doesn't know her song. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
08:46 In this segment, The Tonight Show host battles Taylor Swift in a name that song challenge.
08:52 The two keep things fun and competitive with a few surprises along the way.
08:56 In the final question, though, they have to guess Shake It Off.
08:59 You know, the Taylor Swift song.
09:01 Amazingly, Swift doesn't seem to know as Jimmy Fallon swoops in to answer.
09:11 Shake it off?
09:14 Embarrassment washes over the singer, setting Fallon up to celebrate his win even more.
09:26 [Music]
09:32 It's especially funny to see her completely miss the iconic drum opening.
09:36 It's an unforgettable flub, but it's nice to see that the pop star is also human.

09:56 Number one. Neil Diamond loves salad. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
10:04 Time and time again, Jimmy Fallon proves that he's super competitive.
10:09 This game of password where Neil Diamond is his partner pushes him to the limit.
10:14 Can I get a different word?
10:17 When Fallon sets Diamond up for a win, the latter fumbles with a priceless response.
10:23 Guacamole? Salad?
10:26 This causes the segment to break down and the audience to laugh.
10:36 Then, when Diamond is giving the clues later on,
10:39 we're treated to a humorous callback from Fallon about the previous blunder.
10:44 I'm the salad, Dean. He's upset, yeah.
10:46 Everyone's reactions and the comedian's comedic timing turn this fail into an iconic one.
10:59 It also makes us want to reconsider our own password strategies.
