- You won't believe what these celebrities are up to.
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy theme music)
Good mythical morning.
- Some celebrities have long, illustrious careers
and others are Aaron Carter.
Today, I'm highlighting former celebrities
who have fallen off the face of the Earth.
Rhett, it's time to see if you can guess,
where are they now that we need them?
No comment, we don't know whose song that is.
- I don't know who sings that. - Can't say.
Okay Rhett, here's the thing,
I'm gonna present some multiple choices for places that
- You gotta hide your screen more than that, man.
- Former celebrities are. - Yeah, there you go.
- That's right, you can't cheat.
- I'm a cheater man.
- Because there is some stuff at stake here.
- At school, if you showed me the paper, I was on it.
Bug eyes.
- You gotta get four of these right if you want
the privilege of seeing where you will be
20 years in the future.
- Oh, I love that.
- But you don't get to know, and I do know,
and you need to know, you gotta get four of these right.
But to help you out, we got three lifelines.
One is you can send two answers to rehab, that's 50-60.
You can get a hint from XOXO Gossip Link.
- Wow, don't know what that is either.
- Gossip Girl.
Now you know, cause you watched it every single week.
Or you can get a hint from an actual child star.
Not a hint, you can just ask him what the answer is,
because we do have an actual child star here.
- I was wondering who that was back there.
- Are you ready?
- Now listen, as I tweeted on my tweeter recently,
I do look at these slideshows on a regular basis.
I feel like I might be primed, I don't know,
I get drawn into these where are they now things,
so it may be tough to beat me.
- Let me see if I can draw you into this one.
- There are a lot of em, though.
- You're saying you already know all these answers.
- I'm hedging.
- William Hung.
- Don't know anything about him.
- Rose to fame in 2004 as an American Idol failure
with his rendition of Ricky Martin's She Bangs, She Bangs,
you remember this guy, but in 2011 he revealed
that he had changed careers by becoming a
A, urban planner for the city of Seattle.
B, a crime analyst for the LA County Sheriff's Department.
C, Congressman for the 19th District of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
or D, Ricky Martin's assistant.
He made it, he banged his way in there.
- Oh gosh.
If you bang hard enough.
- The door will open. - The door opens.
I don't think he was from LA, and I don't think,
the crime thing, it doesn't seem right.
- He did this.
- I'm gonna go with the thing that seems the most boring,
I'm tempted to use a lifeline, but I'm just gonna go,
I'm going with my gut, A, I think he's an urban planner.
- Well she better not bang too loud, (buzzer)
because William Hung will analyze your noise complaint
data like a boss at the LA County Sheriff's Department.
- Really, dang look at him, he looks so professional.
- [Link] Yeah and if you'll notice, he is pointing
to a picture of himself pointing at a picture.
- [Rhett] Oh my gosh.
- [Link] Now that's, I mean that's some crime analysis, man.
- [Rhett] He's still banging.
- Yeah man, he has now moved on to
the LA Department of Health.
- He's put on a little weight, but he looks,
it's good, it's professional weight.
You know, it's like, hey, I got some heft here.
- Well, Department of Health, you gotta taste everything.
- Yeah, right, alright, well I'm behind, I'm behind already.
- Behind the eight ball. - Yeah.
- There is no eight ball. - Yep
- Andrew Keegan, you know him? - No.
- Well he played the evil teenage enemy of Heath Ledger
and Joseph Gordon Levitt in 10 Things I Hate About You,
but he hasn't worked much as an actor since.
Now he spends his days,
A, painting caricatures of tourists in Venice Beach
B, as the leader of a religious cult in Venice Beach
C, as a lifeguard on Venice Beach
or D, as the proud owner of Leonard,
the three-headed turtle, step right up, five dollars
to rub one head, 10 dollars for all three, on Venice Beach.
- Venice Beach, I love that place.
And I've been in there with you, so I know that
he doesn't work there, I'm gonna have to do a 50-50,
send two of these answers to rehab.
- Alright, we're sending, - Passages.
- We're sending A and D away to get some help,
but B and C remain, religious cult or lifeguard
on Venice Beach.
- Oh gosh.
He looks like the lifeguard type, but I don't know,
once you've been on top of the acting world,
there's only a few places you can go,
is it to the top of the lifeguard stand or the top
of a group of white-robed people.
I'm going with cult on this one, that's my instinct,
B, he's a cult leader.
- You are correct. (bell ringing)
It's called Full Circle, and take a look,
here's a picture of his group,
can you guess which one he is?
- The one with the hat and the parrot.
Follow the one with the parrot, the vest, and the hat.
- You got it.
- Hold on, I could get into that.
- I will say that's a macaw, but you're not in the cult,
so how would you know?
How would you know?
- I'm gonna call it what I want to.
- Save those for me.
- Okay, alright.
- On the website it says seekers of all backgrounds
gather at our 111-year-old temple for spiritually centered
classes, music happenings, and art occasions.
- Oh, I love art occasions.
- A good music happening, man,
there's nothing better than a music happening.
- Well, when you add an art occasion to it,
- True, true, you got me, and you're one for two.
After playing Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory, Peter Ostrom quit
the acting business for good.
Now more than 40 years later, he's a successful
A, restorer of Victorian Era furniture
in Asheville, North Carolina, close to our,
it was our home state.
- It's in the same state as we grew up in.
- Is he B, a large animal veterinarian in upstate New York
C, a manufacturer of salt water taffy
in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that would be ironic.
- That would be really perfect, wouldn't it.
- Or D, a flying glass elevator operator.
It goes anywhere you need it to go.
- Oh gosh, these are really, really difficult.
Now I haven't seen any of these in my slides.
- Charlie, Charlie, - That I've been
checking out on the internet.
- Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
- I think it's gotta be A or B, right,
it's too perfect if he's doing salt water taffy.
If he is, just color me unlucky.
I like the idea of doing furniture restoration, that feels
right to me, seems like what he would do, you know.
He's a sophisticated guy, A.
- You could ask for a hint, though.
- Yeah, but I got four more questions.
I feel good about this one.
- Well you're wrong. (buzzer)
Peter Ostrum is now a large animal veterinarian
in upstate New York, now the only chocolate factory
he deals with is a cows B-hole.
- Oh, ew gosh, and that's not chocolate.
- It's not? - No, I've tried.
When I was a child, I pulled it up like a tap.
Yeah.
Once, okay.
- You remember Limp Bizkit.
- [Rhett] Yeah, how could I not?
- For their classic profession of love, Nookie.
What you may not know is that lead singer Fred Durst
is now what, A, producing pro-Russia propaganda films
B, running an illegal safari park in Zambia
C, fronting a Limp Bizkit cover band
or D, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Nookie.
- Yeah, please approve him Congress, please.
Man, this is so difficult man.
He seems like the kind of guy that would be doing
propaganda films, just that's my instinct,
but my instincts have been stinking a little bit
the wrong way today, so I'm gonna ask for a hint.
- From XOXO Gossip Girl?
- Yeah. - Link, Gossip Link.
He did it all for Crimean nookie.
- Ahah, yeah. - XOXO Gossip Link.
I was right, A, pro-Russia propaganda films.
- Yes. (bell ringing)
I made it easy for ya, after Russia annexed
Crimea, that is how you say it, right,
I always want to say it the wrong way.
- Cry-me-a river.
- They made an announcement saying they wanted
to turn it into a Russian Beverly Hills
and hoped that western celebrities would want
to live there, Fred Durst immediately said,
sign me up, and then he said, I want to write,
slash direct, slash produce any movies promoting
the great future of Russia and Crimea.
- I'm sure those would be great films.
- He also tweeted, just to put things in perspective,
today is a result of yesterday, and tomorrow will be
a result of today, ain't be rocket science.
- Ha ha, he's right.
It ain't be.
- It ain't be rocket science.
- It ain't be man.
- Did that put it in perspective, you got that one right.
- B for Bizkit.
- In addition to his role as Cousin Eddie
in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,
Randy Quaid also starred in Independence Day
and was nominated for an Oscar for The Last Detail.
But nowadays, is he, A, squatting in the guest house
of a mansion he used to own
B, posting pseudo-sextapes of his wife
dressed as Rupert Murdoch
C, in Vermont hiding from a secret society of assassins
called The Hollywood Star Whackers
or D, all of the above.
- You know what, Randy is somebody who I admire,
and I have followed personally.
- Yeah? - Yeah, and I followed
him right into that mansion, and I followed him
right when he was running from the Star Whackers,
I know all about Randy, he's all of the above, D.
- That's right man. (bell ringing)
- That's right.
- Take a look at Randy, poor guy looks like
Santa's older brother that Santa no longer talks to.
- Poor guy?
He's living the life, man.
- He's scared, he's got issues.
- Randy knows things.
- Or he knows stuff.
- He knows things, he's tuned in to the frequencies
that are going right over our heads.
- And his wife looks like Rupert Murdoch, so,
- Yeah, yeah. - Poor guy.
- Sexy.
- Alright, you got that one right, you're a follower.
He was also in Kingpin, which is I remember
a kind of funny movie.
Jon Gosselin ran his 15 minutes of fame into the ground
on Jon and Kate Plus Eight.
- Yeah, loved it.
- The reality show that chronicled his life
with eight children, but as of 2016, he's divorced,
but keeps busy as a DJ, and part-time what,
door to door knife salesman,
concierge at the Philadelphia Red Roof Inn
a line cook at TGI Fridays
or a reality star on the new show
Jon and Kate Plus Eight Minus Eight Minus Kate?
- You know what, this is my last question,
I think I need to consult the child star.
- An actual child star, - Yes, please bring him out.
- Ladies and gentlemen we have secured an actual child star.
- Twinkle, twinkle, I'm a star.
- It got kind of a deep voice and a beard.
- Twinkle, twinkle I'm a star, a child star.
- That's better.
- You auditioned to be a child star, Chase.
- I went to a few cattle calls as a child.
- Cattle calls. - How did that turn out?
This.
- This is my first appearance.
- It wasn't chocolate.
- Alright, what is it, is he a knife salesman,
Red Roof Inn concierge, line cook at TGI Fridays,
or reality show in his own right?
- I think, like, I saw him last time I was at TGI Fridays.
- Alright, he's never failed me, the child star
has never failed me, I'm gonna go with C for the win.
- That's is correct, (bell ringing)
he is a DJ and a line cook at TGI Fridays,
his DJ name is DJI Friday.
- Yes indeed.
- It's not, I made that part up, but maybe he'll take it.
