-It's time to play a game of deception
called "True Confessions."
♪♪
Now, my first opponent tonight
is an American legend and country music icon.
Please welcome Dolly Parton.
-Hi. -Look at you.
Oh, you are the best.
Oh, Dolly, thank you so much for being here.
Dolly and I will be facing off against a very talented actor
who stars in the new movie
"To All The Boys: Always and Forever."
Give it up for Noah Centineo.
-Oh! Ooh, wow.
You're already playing the game, I see.
You got your game face. -We're in it.
-All right, here's how this works.
Each of us have two envelopes containing confessions.
One is true, the other is a lie.
Once you read your confession,
the other players will interrogate you,
and they have to come to a unanimous decision.
Is it a truth, or is it a lie?
Dolly, you will go first.
Noah, which envelope should she open,
number one or number two?
-Hmm.
Let's go number one.
-Yeah, I'm feeling that, too. -This one?
-Yep, I'm feeling that, too.
-Okay.
-Here we go. -All right.
Here I go.
Oh, Lordy, I'm, like, at the Academy Awards.
Can't get it out of the deal here.
Okay, sorry. -[ Laughs ]
-I dated a guy, and he kicked me out of a car
and made me walk home at night through a forest
with bears and bobcats.
-[ Laughing ] What?
All right. Wait a second.
All right. -[ Laughs ]
-What year?
Do you remember -- What year was this?
-Oh, I was a teenager.
I was about --
Oh, I was 17, 18 years old. -Okay, 17.
-Did you encounter bears and bobcats,
or were they just present? -Absolutely.
-Good question. -I heard them, felt them.
-Do you remember what car it was?
-Well, I know it was a really good car,
'cause I had a date with a boy,
and I only dated him because he had a car.
-[ Laughs ] -And so it was a nice car.
I think it was a Chevy, maybe a '57.
Something like that.
-Why did he kick you out of the car?
What was the thing that happened?
-Well, it was a "put out or get out," uh, situation.
-Ah. You stepped. -So he kicked me out,
told me to walk home. -And you stepped.
I like that. -Yeah. Yeah.
-Put out or get out.
-Where was this forest?
-Well, this was up in
The Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee,
and we were about five miles from my home,
and that's way back in the mountains,
I mean, where there are bears and bobcats.
And there are those toothless
"Deliverance" kind of mountain men,
in addition to the bears and all that.
-Yeah, the bears don't even have teeth.
-That was not a pleasant place to be.
-Noah, I don't know.
Dolly is also --
Not only is she a talented singer and songwriter,
but she's also a very good actor.
So I don't know if this is --
she could be playing us like a fiddle.
-I'm feeling like I'm being played,
to be honest with you.
-But I also feel like Dolly is very strong,
and she would do something like that.
Like, yeah. -Oh, absolutely.
I think it's -- honest, I think she's telling the truth.
-Gosh. I'm going to say, yes, it's true.
-It is true!
-[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh.
-It is true!
-No way. -I swear it's true.
But I did learn something that night, though.
I thought, if that ever happens to me again,
I'm definitely giving it up.
[ Laughter ] I would rather be --
I would rather be chewed on by a boy
than a bear.
And so I thought that -- -Oh, my gosh.
You are the best.
-Oh, my gosh.
-Okay. It is my turn.
Which envelope should I open, number one or number two?
Dolly? -Dolly, go ahead.
-I think number two.
-Okay.
Do do do do-doo. Okay.
I was at a party at someone's house,
and I heard Jeff Bezos say, "Alexa, who's your daddy?"
[ Laughter ]
-Do you remember what Alexa said in return?
-Uh, I don't know if she answered.
I just thought it was just bizarre
that I could not -- I can't believe Jeff Bezos,
why would he --
that he would just lean in --
He didn't even know I was there, I don't think.
He just kind of leaned in and just said it to Alexa.
And I was like, "Did I just see that?"
-So, wait. Did he whisper it?
It was like a -- It was like a gentle, like, whisper to Alexa?
-No he didn't whisper "Who's your daddy?"
But he just kinda -- No, he said out loud.
I think he -- I think he knew...
Yeah, he knew that he was being funny, probably.
-Do you use Alexa a lot?
Are you one of those people that really do all that,
ask all these crazy things and ask for jokes
and all these weird people?
-I do. I use it all the time. I talk to --
But this is just weird, random at a party,
and I just saw it happen, and it's almost --
It's, like, rare that you would ever see
the guy who invented Alexa say to Alexa,
"Who's your daddy?"
-And what was he wearing?
What was -- What was Bezos wearing?
-Wearing almost this exact same outfit.
I am dressed like Jeff Bezos from that --
[ Laughter ]
I'm wearing the Jeff Bezos line of suits. Yeah.
-Well, it is time for us to say that's a lie?
-A lie, too.
-[ Laughs ] I think that's a lie.
-It is the truth.
-Is it really? -What?
-Oh, okay.
-And I was like, "What?!"
That is something I will never ever forget, ever.
It is a true story. -I guess not.
Well, that's a good one. I thought that was a lie.
-Okay. -That's incredible.
-We've got two truths now.
-Yeah, here we go. -Let's see what --
-Oh, interesting. You're right.
Noah, now it is your turn.
Dolly, which envelope should he open,
number one or number two?
-I think number one. -Yup, number one.
-All right. -Yeah.
In honor of all Dolly's songs.
Number one. -Okay.
-[ Laughs ]
-I want to make this a little dramatic.
-[ Chuckling ] Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
-Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, that's really -- -I once locked my father
in a meat locker for two hours before telling someone.
-Why did you wait so long if you accidentally did it?
-I was 9 years old, and I-I panicked.
And, like, I tried to get him out,
and then we were on a tour, and so --
-A tour of a meat locker?
-Well, no, it was a meat facility.
He owned, like, a restaurant back then.
And so we were looking
at different, like, meats and stuff.
And he took me on it,
but it was with a group of, like, all of his members.
And so --
-Were you the only 9-year-old there,
or was it a bunch of kids going around a meat locker?
-No, no, I was the only one. I was the only one.
-Did you get along with your father?
Did you like him? -Yeah. [ Laughs ]
-Oh, okay.
I just wanted to make sure
that you weren't trying to really get rid of him.
-Was some part of you kind of excited
that you did lock your dad --
How did you know that he was locked in there?
-That's what I -- [ Laughs ]
-He went in there, and I closed the door.
And then I realized that it locks from the outside,
but I didn't know how to unlock it.
And I was embarrassed to, like, go and tell someone
that I had locked him in there.
-How long was your dad in the meat locker?
-[ Laughing ] For two hours.
-What?! No, no.
-Was he, like, frozen?
Did it, like, make him sick or what?
-No, they're not that cold. Like --
-That's a good story.
Whether it's a truth or a lie, that's an amazing story.
-Oh, no. -It's scary. Wow.
-I'm baffled, Dolly. What do you think?
I'm torn, because -- -I think --
I kind of think that might be true.
-I think it's a lie.
I think he's playing us.
I think he did the sheet over his head.
He made the story up.
And he's an actor.
I'm going to say it's a lie.
-It's a lie. Yeah, it's a lie.
-Yes! Oh, my God.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, that was a good one, though.
-That was not bad, dude.
We got a true confession. -That was very good.
-My thanks to Dolly Parton and Noah Centineo.
