-We're about to play "Secret Ingredient."
Now, here's how it works.
We're each gonna be served a gourmet three-course meal,
but each dish contains one unusual secret ingredient.
-Uh-huh. -And it's and our job
to figure out what that ingredient is.
All I know is that I have this next to my chair.
So... [ Laughter ]
-Oh, I got one, too. -Oh, you got one -- okay, good.
So I have a feeling some of these
are gonna be interesting. All right.
Quest, be nice to me, please.
Why are you smiling like that? -I didn't prepare this.
I'm just reading. -Yeah, I know.
[ Laughter ] -Anyway...
-Look how happy you are. Look how happy --
Quest, what is the first course? -Thank you, Jimmy.
To start, we have a refreshing piña colada with blended
organic coconut cream, fresh pineapple,
and a splash of lime juice,
garnished with a maraschino cherry.
But can you guess the secret ingredient?
Bon appétit.
Hit it. -This is beautiful.
-All right. -Cheers.
-Cheers. [ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
-[ Laughing ] Oh, yeah!
Oh, oh, whoa! -Ha! Whoo!
-Whoo!
-I mean, we all know what it is. -Write your -- no, hell no.
Write your answers down, gentlemen.
-No, we definitely know what it is.
-Oh, okay. -Okay.
We're gonna start with Rhett.
Can you guess what the secret ingredient was?
-I believe... -Yeah.
-...it was...wasabi?
[ Buzzer ] -That is incorrect.
[ Sad tuba ]
James Fallon, what is the secret ingredient?
-Horseradish. -Oh.
-That is incorrect. [ Buzzer ]
-What?
-All right. Link, what is the secret ingredient?
-What about wasab-E? [ Buzzer ]
-Ah, wasab-E! Okay, no.
The correct answer was yellowtail sashimi.
-Oh. Yeah, but they got some wasabi on that.
-Yeah. -Some wasabi in there!
-They got some wasabi on that.
-Hey, I'm just going with the judges.
All right, judges. Is that the same thing?
[ Buzzer ] All right, see?
-It was yellowtail sashimi. -That is the most
demoralizing sound in the world. All right.
-All right. -All right.
Speaking of seafood -- -No!
Why are we speaking of seafood? -Let's speak more of seafood.
Yes. Speaking of seafood,
for our next course, we have a crab cake
made with jumbo lump crab meat from Maryland.
All right? -Oh.
-Seasoned with a medley of spices.
-Maryland's really gonna push me over the edge?
-Yes, it came direct from -- -Oh! No, what is this?
I don't like creamy stuff. [ Laughter ]
-All right. Look, it's with herbs and spices
and pan-fried until golden brown.
-Yeah, I don't like it. -But, Jimmy...
-I don't like it. [ Laughter ]
-...can you guess the secret ingredient?
-I'm just gonna guess without eating it.
-Hit it. -You got to eat it.
-We might do this right, though. I mean, a little lemon --
-Mm, that's right, put that lemon on there.
Yeah. Dig deep.
-Uh, I don't like, uh...
All right.
I don't like creamy stuff. [ Laughter ]
-It's not bad. It's not bad.
-Okay. All right.
-It's not good either, though. -Taste some more.
All right, all right, all right.
You got to write your answers down.
♪♪
-Tastes like a crab cake. -Oh.
-Yeah, but that wasn't bad at all.
-There's something hidden in there that --
-Yeah, there is. -Oh, yeah.
Something just hit me on the end there, maybe.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
All right, so, Rhett, we'll start with you.
Can you guess what the secret ingredient was?
-Um, I think it might be chocolate, y'all.
Yeah. -Judges, what do you say?
[ Buzzer ] Nope.
[ Sad tuba ] -Idiot!
-Jimmy. -You hear that?
-What is the secret ingredient?
-I'm gonna say it's a breakfast cereal.
I'm think I'll say it's Corn Cones.
[ Laughter ]
[ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ]
-You know what? -Little throwback.
-It's not that... but I'll allow it, so...
-Wow. -Anyway, Link,
what is the correct answer?
-I tasted some sweetness in there.
I feel a little prune action.
[ Laughter ]
[ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ]
-Aw! -That's not a bad guess.
I was tasting something kind of, like, sugary.
-You were near it.
It was actually cookie dough.
-Cookie dough? -There's still chocolate in it!
-Cookie -- [ Laughter ]
-Hey, dawg, talk to the -- talk to the judges.
-Half a point? -You got to go --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I think we give him half a point.
[ Ding! ] -I think -- yeah.
-Half a point. -Oh, yeah, half a point.
-You have half a point. You're in the lead.
You're guessing the right things.
-All right. Let's get down to our last course.
All right, so the meal is not complete without dessert.
And tonight, we have a cinnamon roll.
-Mm. -Great.
-Made from puffy brioche dough. -Oh, puffy, huh.
-Rolled with cinnamon spices and with melted butter.
-Okay. You're talking about a cinnamon roll.
-Yeah. Topped with vanilla sugar.
But can you -- can you guess what the secret ingredient is?
-Now, I don't like creamy stuff. Do I have to try that?
-You got to get -- the best part of a cinnamon roll is the heart.
-Yeah. -You gotta de-heart it.
[ Laughter ]
You want to excise that heart, Jimmy.
-I don't -- -Like that.
-I don't like -- I don't like creamy stuff,
so I'm not gonna try that creamy stuff.
-That's how you kill a cinnamon roll.
-You never had a cinnamon roll before, Jimmy?
-Uh, yeah. -It's great, Jimmy!
Get in there! -Wait, so your anti-cream thing
is also with...
-I don't like -- -Will you just --
Go ahead, man. Come on.
-No, I can't do it. I can't.
-Just do it! -It's great, Jimmy.
-I can't do it. I don't like creamy mayonnaise, mustard.
Like, no, I can't do it. -Do it! Do it!
-It's not mayonnaise. It's not mustard.
-Come on. -I don't like it.
[ Audience chanting "Jimmy!" ]
-What is that? [ Applause ]
♪♪
-[ Laughs ]
Oh! [ Sad tuba ]
-All right, Rhett?
[ Trash can bangs ]
Now remember, this is worth 10,000 points.
-Oh, yeah. -Oh, really?
-Yeah. It's worth 10,000 points.
-I'm very confident in this answer.
I believe the secret ingredient was love.
[ Laughter ] [ Sad tuba ]
[ Buzzer ]
-No. -You say prunes again?
-I was -- I was not the secret ingredient.
Jimmy. -Yeah?
-What is the secret ingredient?
-It was disgusting. It was awful
and cruel and I just -- gosh.
I'm so mad. But I'm gonna say toothpaste?
[ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ]
-That'd have been good, though. -Thank you.
-No. Link? -It had a sourness to it.
-Yeah, it had a sourness to it. That's why I said lemon.
[ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ]
Lemon.
-Sometimes love is sour. [ Laughter ]
-No -- -Love goes bad.
-Is this real? Can I have this?
Or is this, like, dog urine or something like that?
[ Laughter ]
-So, the answer was steak sauce.
-Oh. -Oh, I can smell it!
Got to smell the hole. -No, I'm good, dawg.
I'm good. -Steak sauce.
All right. Thanks for Rhett and Link.
