- All right, everybody, welcome back.
We're here with Quinta Brunson and Kristen Bell.
Give it up, y'all. (audience applauds)
So, Quinta's show, "Abbott Elementary" is about kids.
Meanwhile, Kristen and I are raising some kids of our own.
We're doing our best.
So we thought right now was a good try,
a good time to maybe try an activity, a new one.
This is called, "America's Kids Got Jokes".
(upbeat music)
♪ America's kids got jokes ♪
(audience applauds)
(Kelly laughs)
Get it, Jessi. (Kelly laughs)
A little notes of "30 Rock" with that title,
for those who know, you know who you are.
- Just start singing.
- [Kelly] Yeah. (Kelly and Quinta laugh)
All right, here's how this works.
We're going to watch a video
of a kid asking the beginning of a joke.
Then, we're going to have to guess,
we're going to try and guess what the answer
to that joke is, where we'll discuss.
Then we will play a second video,
in which the kid will give us the answer.
I feel like we might fail.
Are you ready though?
(audience and Kelly laugh)
- This is going to be embarrassing.
- [Kelly] I feel like I'm not as creative as a kid,
maybe but...
- I'm taking it as a challenge.
- Okay, challenge accepted, I like it, I like it.
Okay, let's see the first video.
- Hi, Kelly.
I have a joke for you.
Why did the scarecrow win an award?
- Why did the scarecrow win an award?
(audience laughs)
- Because he...
Is...
Straw...
- Brain, he was...
- Because he was,
Michael Jackson's portrayal of a scarecrow.
(audience and Kelly laugh)
In, in...
Yeah, yeah.
- [Kelly] Yes, that's what he was winning for, yes.
I don't have an answer.
(audience laughs)
If I only had a brain, that's the only thing I'm thinking.
Okay so, let's see the answer.
- Because he was outstanding at his job.
- [Kelly] Oh my God, because he's...
(audience and Kelly laugh)
(audience applauds)
- That was more clever than I thought it was going to be.
- [Kelly] Oh my God.
- [Quinta] Wow.
- Oh, my God. - Wow.
- That was awesome.
How did we not guess standing?
Like the whole... I kind of, feel like a loser right now.
Okay, here is the next one,
here's the next one.
- Hi, Kelly.
Can I tell you a joke?
Why do ducks have tail feathers?
- [Kelly] Why do who?
Why do ducks have tail feathers?
- Ducks have tail feathers, I love them so much.
- Shake it like a Polaroid.
- I know, just no teeth.
- I don't know, why do ducks have...
Tail feathers?
(Kristen groans)
Because they waddle.
Because they waddle, wa, waddle, waddle, waddle,
I don't know, is this a song? (audience laughs)
- It's got to be, it's going to be a pun, you guys.
- I know.
Why do ducks quack, quack?
- Okay. (audience laughs)
- Ducks, duck, information.
- Webs.
- [Quinta] Dark winged duck.
- Dark wing duck. (Kelly laughs)
- I'm just throwing out stuff
to get y'all's juices flowing.
- Better watch out you dark wing duck.
Yeah, okay.
- She's going to, look at how cute she is.
- I'm distracted by her lack of teeth, honestly.
(audience laughs)
- That's not fair, that's not fair,
she's throwing our game off.
- I know.
- I don't know because they shake it.
I don't know.
Why do ducks have tail feathers? Tell us.
We're so bad at this.
- To cover their butt quacks.
(audience laughs)
- [Kelly] Oh.
We even said, "quacks".
(audience applauds)
We even said, "quacks".
- These kids are gross.
- The butt quacks? I totally would've done that.
That's like, one of those things
you're signing in your yearbook, in junior high.
I was the first to sign your crack.
I was one of those idiots.
- That's higher on.
- So wait, here's the next one,
since we're so successful at it.
- Hey, Kelly.
Want to hear a joke?
What do you get when you cross a snowman with a baker?
- [Quinta] With a baker?
- With a baker? - Snowman with a baker.
- What do you get when you cross...
Well, that's usually on fire, right?
- Cold rolls.
- Cold rolls. (audience and Kelly laugh)
That's what's going on under my spanks.
(Kelly and audience laugh)
- Snowman with a baker.
- [Kelly] So wait, what do you get
when you cross a snowman with a baker?
You'd have to... - Ice?
- [Kelly] Something that melted, right?
- No, no, no, a puddle.
- [Kelly] A puddle, yeah.
A loaf.
Olaf? Olaf?
A loaf.
(audience cheers)
I feel like,
I feel like even if it's not the answer, it's cute.
- That's really good.
- Olaf, A loaf, I don't know, I don't know.
- I got some frozen material, ready to go.
- [Kelly] Here's the thing,
I was ready with my mom answer.
I don't know.
Okay, let's see what you get.
Okay, it's not Olaf.
- Frosty the Doughman. (audience laughs)
- [Kelly] Oh, my gosh.
(Quinta and audience applauds)
Oh, my gosh.
- I love that.
- Frosty the Doughman.
- Mine was a,
mine was a big, giant leap of a stretch.
(Kelly and audience laugh)
- It was, it was him assuming Kristen Bell would be here,
assuming... - Exactly, I was like maybe.
- A lot of variables would have to be in place.
- I was tying it in.
I just like to lift up my guests.
- [Quinta] I like that one.
- So here's, even though you weren't Olaf for this one.
Okay, last one, producer, since we're killing it.
Okay.
- Hi, Kelly.
I have a joke for you.
Why don't eggs tell jokes?
- Because they would crack themselves up.
- Yes. (audience cheers)
- Oh, that was good.
- Right? (audience applauds)
- [Kelly] Yes.
Yes, why don't eggs tell jokes?
Because it's too easy over,
I don't know.
Yes, I'm going to do yours, yes.
- [Quinta] Okay.
- Yes.
- They crack each other up.
(audience applauds)
- Way to go, man, way to go, man,
way to go. (audience applauds)
- That's comedy training.
- You know what? Yeah.
- That's a comedy genius right there.
- [Kelly] You're doing God's work.
- So happy... - God's work.
We got one out of 10.
It's great, it's great.
Thank you so much, Kristen.
Thank you, Quinta, congratulations on your success.
(audience applauds) - Thank you.
Thank you so much, thank you.
- Great show, "The Woman in the House Across the
Street from the Girl in the Window".

It's the best title.
It's on Netflix.
Now I'm telling you, watch it.
It's so good.
Also, if you want to laugh,
