We're back with Tracee Ellis Ross.
Now I just took a lie detector test.
I thought we'd play it here on Ellen.
OK.
What do you think, Tracee?
I think I'm a little scared.
Are you going to tell the truth, is the question.
Well.
Yes.
So here's how it works.
We're going to ask each other a simple yes or no question.
OK.
And then the machine is going to tell us if we're lying or not.
But we don't have anything attached to us,
is it going to be true?
The machine will know.
OK.
We take our seats.
I'll go first.
OK.
Oh, this is going to be great.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, I've got to get really serious, because yes--
This is serious.
Here we go.
Am I the sexiest man alive?
[DRUM ROLL]
No?
Oh.
Watch, I lied.
[BUZZER]
OK.
Ah, see what I did there?
She was just testing the machine.
See what I did there?
OK, here's mine.
She was testing the machine.
Do you think you are the sexiest man alive.
No.
[LAUGHTER]
I do not.
[DRUM ROLL]
[BUZZER]
False humility, it's one of my shticks.
Do you like all of your mom's songs?
100%.
Yes?
[DRUM ROLL]
[BUZZER]
I'm going to get in trouble over Thanksgiving.
Have you ever pretended to be asleep
so you didn't have to change a diaper?
No, I have not.
I have not.
[DRUM ROLL]
The drum roll situation is hilarious.
[BUZZER]
Wait a minute, I'm starting to think this test just
says everybody's lying.
[LAUGHTER]
Have you ever lied to your mom?
Yes.
[DRUM ROLL]
[DING]
Oh, OK.
Finally the machine.
Do you ever forget the words to your own songs?
Absolutely.
[DRUM ROLL]
[DING]
OK.
Do you or did you ever--
Oh boy.
--have a crush on Anthony Anderson?
No.
[DRUM ROLL]
That's a hilarious question.
[DING]
Well, you know, Ellen--
I'm telling Anthony.
Ellen is insistent that Anthony and I
should be together for real.
It's hilarious.
Anthony is married.
She probably wrote this question for me.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Have you-- oh, this is great.
Have you ever pretended to have a sore throat
to get out if singing?
Um.
Uh-oh, insurance companies listen in closely.
No, I haven't.
I haven't.
No?
OK.
[DRUM ROLL]
[BUZZER]
Ah, Whatever.
I don't trust this machine.
And I'm a guest here, so you never
know what they're doing behind the scenes.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, folks.
That's how you play Lie Detector.
We'll be right back.
