[quiet stage]
No- [laughs]
[group laughter offscreen]
[laughs harder]
[offscreen] Woo!
Oh my... [laughs]
[applause]
[upbeat music]
It's show night!
And today is going to be epic.
Epic!
E - PIC!
I am so excited.
Today
is going to be the culmination of
this prank war that I have going on with Jodie.
And she has no idea what is about to happen.
As you may have heard,
several weeks ago,
Jodie accidentally signed all of the props for the episode,
thinking that it was for a giveaway.
But it wasn't for a giveaway.
It was for the entire episode.
And she signed
every prop on the table.
She signed football helmets, motorcycle helmets,
foam fingers, cell phone cases...
She signed everything.
[chuckles]
And no one is letting her live it down because
it's just the most hilarious thing ever.
So, let me review.
Okay, so here, it's Thursday. It's pre-tape day.
My call time isn't for like another
like four hours, but I'm here early
[deep breath]
because I wanted to get here before Jodie.
Jodie's call time is also in like four hours.
And, um...
We are hopefully completing the prank
today. Or tomorrow.
We're setting up for it today.
Suddenly I can't talk.
So here's what we've done. So,
[chuckles]
I ordered shirts
with Jodie's signature on them.
I ordered 200, and I'm going to dress the entire cast and crew
in Jodie's autograph.
And I found the fabulous help of my fabulous friends
Mel and Kim,
who you saw in the vlog the other day,
it was so cute, by the way.
And they have organized all of this by department.
They created this adorable sign
to sort of explain what's going on.
And I'm hoping everyone participates
and has fun with it.
We're gonna go around now and deliver
like, um,
see, this is like Hair and Makeup,
so we're gonna go to the Hair and Makeup room,
and deliver all of their shirts.
And then, go to like - what is this?
Here, this is for stand-ins.
Oh, that's for props. We should go do props first.
- Yeah! - Let's do props first,
...get this all started.
I'm a little nervous.
You should be.
It's gonna go really well. Insecurity.
[inaudible; talking over each other]
What's making you nervous is gonna make it good.
Do I explain it or do I just hand it over?
I'm gonna let you try this, and really think about it.
No, but do I just hand it? Or do I say something?
- Well, you should say, like...
- ... present what we're giving?
A: Okay - Yeah
- Yeah, you just let them
A: Look, I admit, I'm a little nervous,
'cause the key is that everyone has to keep it a secret from Jodie.
[Andrea laughs dramatically]
[knocks] MAN: Uh oh!
ANDREA: Gentlemen.
MAN: Oh, yes, famous actress?
A: Oh hi MEN: Hello!
MAN: But I'm a famous Instagram star actually.
Oh yeah, he is! He really...
I have a favor and a present.
I see this more as a bribe, but go ahead.
Oh no, it's not a bribe.
Okay, so I am heightening the prank war.
- Oh nice! - I'm on board
What can we do? Just, okay.
ANDREA: I've ordered 200 shirts -
[men laugh]
...if you guys will wear one...
ANDREA: ...200 shirts for the entire cast and crew with her signature on it.
[man laughs]
So there's some for you guys in here.
ANDREA: ...tomorrow, just wear it to work,
there's not gonna be a reveal.
It's just gonna be a slow burn.
- Good - I will wear it
That's actually a cool shirt.
[offscreen] That is a cool shirt.
I don't have anything to wear tomorrow, so this is perfect.
There you go. Now you've got your shirt.
ANDREA: I have shirts for your department...
- Okay
because I'm in a prank war with Jodie.
- Okay
A: She signed all the props - Oh, I remember about that.
A: You remember that? - Yeah, that was really...
So now, I've got
I got shirts for the whole cast and crew
with her signature on it.
If you guys would be willing to wear your shirts tomorrow...
I'll make sure everyone in my department is wearing that shirt.
Really? Yes!
A: I've printed up 200 shirts with her autograph on them.
WOMEN: Oh my god
I'm asking people to wear it to work tomorrow...
Is she busy?
[knocks]
Hi
A: [whispers] Do you have a second?
C: I have a second.
A: I need your help C: Okay
A: It's kind of a favor.
Okay, so you know how Jodie signed those props?
[Candace chuckles]
So I printed 200 shirts with her autograph on them.
Shut up.
Will you wear this to work tomorrow, in the morning?
Uh, yes please!
A: And then there's one for... [laughing]
C: I can't believe you did that!
Shut up. You had 200 shirts made?
Yeah
Just show up to work, there's not a reveal or anything.
But, tomorrow?
Yeah, so it's a secret. Don't say anything today.
And then just show up to work in it tomorrow.
It'll be like a slow burn, like she'll see one
and then another...
[Candace gasps]
...eventually the entire room.
Shut up. You are awesome.
Yes! I'm so winning this war.
Oh my god, you're so winning!
Wait, what are you giving me? What's going on?
What's happening?
So, were you here when
Jodie signed all the props?
Yes. And signed your whole door.
And then signed my whole door.
So I'm getting her back.
[Scott laughs]
This is a prank. I'm gonna win the prank war.
So I got 200 shirts printed with her autograph.
So if you'll wear this to work tomorrow?
- [laughing] Okay - In the morning?
- That's hilarious. - That would be great.
Is Deej gonna wear it too?
Deej is gonna wear it. She's wearing it.
All right, I'm in.
Wear the shirts...
And then she'll come out on the stage and everyone will have them on.
A: And everyone will have them on.
- Oh, this is awesome.
And we have extras for the audience, to give away.
- Oh, that's awesome. - That is awesome.
A: Yes!
And I am so excited!
Like, I am just brimming with excitement.
I have - now I've got show nerves,
I got shirt nerves.
I'm just so excited.
I am still a little nervous.
Like, I saw Jodie at the end of work yesterday,
and
it appeared that she still had no clue.
She still had no clue.
You know, we said good night at the end of the night,
and, after we wrapped, and she's like,
"Okay, bye! See you tomorrow!"
And I'm like, "Cool. See you tomorrow!"
[chuckles smugly]
She has no idea what she's gonna walk into today at work.
Stage 24 is gonna be covered in her autograph.
Yes!
So, I'm a little nervous.
I'm a little nervous just 'cause that's what I do.
Like, my anxious brain is spinning
and I'm thinking of everything that could possibly go wrong,
even though I've been planning this for weeks.
Weeks!
Well before we even started this YouTube page.
Like, this is probably four weeks?
Three or four weeks in the making.
And I'm hopefully, finally, gonna pull it off today.
A: I already have so much joy in my heart.
[Andrea laughs]
[inaudible]
We're honored.
[Andrea laughs]
A: I'm so happy right now!
[upbeat instrumental music, no audio]
[music, no audio]
[music stops]
...bunch of angry hens.
[laughter]
Geez. Like, okay!
All right, I'm doing it!
Am I wearing Ashley's or Mary-Kate's?
[laughter]
...we should pose? Like, should we get
cast and crew photo in there
and then she walks in?
Or should we just stand -
[various agreement]
Why don't we all just stand in the same room?
So when she comes in, she's like:
SONI: And then we're just like, "Hi, Jodie!"
Yeah, "Hi, Jodie!"
[music resumes, no audio]
[music, no audio]
[assorted chatter]
[cheering]
MAN: All right, on the count of three, we're all gonna say -

[laughter]
and you're all standing there, I was like,
"They're all taking a picture without me!"
[laughter]
SONI: We did
J: I was like, "That's it, they've written me out of the show!"
ANDREA: Wait, are you actually signing them now?
[Andrea laughs]
MAN: Nice, thank you!
A: 'How rude!'
A: Oh my god, I need that, too.
A: 'How rude.'
J: Yay!
A: That's so awesome.
MAN: I love that.
A: I need a 'How rude!'
HA!
[Andrea laughing]
JODIE: Ha!
You're just gonna have to keep that Sharpie.
I feel like I've given birth
or won a marathon, like
I'm so exhausted, but happy.
So satisfying!
YES!
Yes!
[sighs] What a day.
