-Welcome back to "The Tonight Show"!
We are hanging out with Steve Martin
and Martin Short, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We are about to --
-Let's see how you do in that spot.
[ Laughter ]
-We're about to play a game...
-Oh, boy. -...called "Hey Robot."
Here we go.
-♪ Hey, hey, hey, robot ♪
♪ Hey, robot ♪
-Now here's how it works. Okay?
This is based on a real board game called "Hey Robot."
You can play at home.
It's like the classic game "Password," okay?
But your partner is a smart speaker, okay?
So, first, I will pick a card -- -So, it's not Marty.
[ Laughter ] -No.
You don't have to make him guess things, no.
But I will pick a card with a word on it,
and then we'll take turns asking a question to the speaker
to get it to say that word somewhere in its answer, okay?
-And we all have the same word?
-No. Well, maybe. It depends if we --
-Can you go back over the rules again?
[ Laughter ]
-Here we go. Let me try it.
I'll -- All right. Here's the word
I have to get this thing to say.
-Mm-hmm. -Uh-huh.
-Okay. Mistletoe.
I can say it. All right, here we go.
Hey, Alexa, what do you kiss someone under
during the holiday season?
-From wikipedia.org,
it is a Christmas custom for a couple
who meet under a mistletoe to kiss.
[ Ding! ] [ Cheers and applause ]
-That's what we're doing.
So that's what we're talking about.
That's the idea.
-I'm there. I get it.
-You got it, okay, yeah. [ Laughter ]
Marty -- Marty, you're up.
Would you like to go first? -Okay, sure.
-You should probably take this.
-No, it's fine. -Here's your word.
-Okay. -All right.
You have to say, "Hey..." -I'm not an idiot.
[ Laughter ]
Hey, Alexa -- don't you have to hit the button?
Oh. Oh! I'm sorry.
-So you kind of are an idiot?
[ Laughter ]
-Let's see -- Let's see -- Let's see what Alexa says.
[ Laughter ]
-Hold on. -Start again.
-Hey, Alexa, what is that name of the paper stuff
you put on Christmas trees that's all sparkly?
-From homecrux.com, to add sparkle and glimmer
to your Christmas tree, carve out the eye-catching
cardboard star ornaments.
[ Laughter ]
[ Sad tuba ]
-And, by the way, it's not made of paper.
You know that? -What's it made of?
-It's made of, like, foil, aluminum.
-Yeah. -No, it isn't.
-Oh, you're from Canada. What do you know?
[ Laughter ] -No, no, no, no, no.
-All right, Steve, it's your turn.
Let's -- -So I'm losing this stupid game?
[ Laughter ]
-No, you're losing more than that.
[ Laughter ]
You're losing fans, buddy.
-Oh, my -- [ Laughter ]
-All right, here you go.
-I told you this chair was better.
-I've g-- oh, Jesus.
-Okay. -What was it? Let's see.
-Okay, let's hear that.
[ Laughter ]
-Hey, Alexa, what is roasting on an open fire?
-You bastards. [ Laughter ]
-According to an Alexa Answers contributor,
roasting is a cooking method that uses dry heat...
[ Laughter ] ...where hot air covers
the food, cooking it evenly on all sides
with temperatures of at least 150 degrees Celsius --
300 degrees Fahrenheit -- from an open flame...
-You got a pen? [ Laughter ]
-...or other heat source. -Hey, let me do --
-Shh! -Roasting can enhance the flavor
through caramelization and maillard browning
on the surface.
-I've got a flight Sunday. -Let me try to do --
Let me try -- Let's try -- -You think you can do it?
-I want to try it, too. -You want to try it, too?
All right. I'm gonna say, um...
Uh, uh... Chestnuts. Okay.
Chestnuts. Uh...
Gosh. I don't know if I can -- okay.
Alexa, what do you roast during the holiday season, nut?
[ Laughter ] -That's cheating!

the standing rib roast, prime rib, rack of pork,
and beef tenderloin.
-I have one. -I have one.

"The Christmas Song"?
