- I'm back with actress and dog lover, Olivia Munn.
Also joining us now is one of America's top gearheads.
He's hosted a whole slew of NASCAR shows.
He's also covered the Kentucky Derby,
and the Olympics, as a correspondent for NBC Sports.
Now he's switching gears, get it,
as host of the new smash hit game show,
"Floor is Lava" on Netflix.
Check it out.
- [Rutledge] With Gerald's basketball background,
netting that last leap should be no problem.
(suspenseful music)
(liquid splashes)
Oh no.
Houston, we've got a problem.
- (screams) Ah, it's the lava, no!
(liquid bubbles)
- All right, y'all.
Well, let's bring Rutledge Wood on in here.
Hey, what's up, Rutledge, how ya doing?
- Hi, guys.
I'm great, how y'all doing?
- Hey, Rutledge.
- I've got Olivia Munn as well.
I was like, I'm gonna keep her in,
'cause we both are into games, and obviously--
- This is awesome.
- "Floor is Lava" is hit.
So, Rutledge, like your show is ridiculous,
but it's also insanely popular.
So tell everybody how it works.
- All right, so basically
we have a gigantic room filled with magic lava.
And you're probably wondering, where do you get magic lava?
Craigslist, and I got a great deal
on about 80,000 gallons or so.
And we have these insane kind of rooms.
It might be a kitchen, it might be a planetarium,
and you basically have to get from one side to the other,
using your team.
And whoever gets there the fastest,
with the most people, wins $10,000.
So, I know you two love games.
I feel like y'all would be naturals at it,
but it's pretty hard.
- I love games.
It is probably pretty hard.
Challenge accepted, Rutledge.
(Rutledge laughs)
So wait, Olivia, did you want to ask Rutledge anything
about the game, anything?
- I wanna know, how do you guys come up with
the different obstacles all the time?
'Cause I feel like that's one of the biggest challenges.
How do you constantly keep it new and fresh?
Kind of like Ninja Warrior-esque, right?
- Sure, yeah.
Well, I mean, let's be honest.
Let's give credit where credit's due.
Without you, Olivia,
I don't think stuff like this would exist.
I mean, they could've called it "Floor Olivia,"
but that's really besides the point.
Okay so, that being said,
it was this incredible gal named Megan McGrath.
She had this great idea that said,
"Let's take this game that we all played as kids,
"and try to make it fresh and fun and new."
Because like, Kelly's obviously in like
a world's hyper studio.
But like Olivia, when I see your living room,
I already think you're kind of at an advantage.
You've got chairs.
I don't know if that wall stuff could take my weight,
but it might take yours.
Like, it's just a game that anyone could play at home.
So, it was trying to make
all these kind of secret things in there
and just make it fun for everybody.
- Yeah.
- Okay, well, Rutledge, Olivia played this game as a kid.
So, what house games did you play as a kid?
- Ooh, now keep in mind, I grew up in Alabama.
So, our games were a little more--
- I love the southern feel today, yes!
Okay, keep going. - Right?
- Y'all know, our games are like who,
does anyone here own a ball?
You do?
Let's play that game.
(Kelly and Olivia laughing)
We played, my parents had a long hallway,
and we played dodge ball with,
we would take like a bunch of tube socks and ball them up.
And we would like line them up in this area.
But, I don't know about y'all.
There were some about being a kid and being on carpet,
and having things hurled at you at a high velocity.
I got hurt way more often playing that game
than I should have, but that's kinda the fun of it.
- That reminds me of the game that we'd play all the time,
as children who didn't have money,
which was, get in a blanket,
everybody into the blanket, like all five kids,
the top of the stairs that are carpeted,
and then just make it down.
- Yes, you slide down, like a sled!
Yes.
- We tried that.
I tried that in the laundry hamper, and it went pretty good,
but I was just big enough as a kid,
about a fourth stair down, and I just sort of darted.
- Toppled?
- Yeah.
But that's, you know, you live and learn.
- That's awesome, that's awesome.
Okay, so, Rutledge, I understand the game
has made you pretty popular with your girls, right?
- Yeah, it's fun.
You know, I've got three daughters.
And y'all know like there are some projects that you do,
that your friends and family are like really excited about.
But for my daughter's Elsie, Millie, and Hattie,
Elsie is 12, Millie is nine, Hattie's six,
they've never had something like this
where they could be that excited.
And I knew it was a big deal because Elsie, now 12,
beautiful young lady, she's texting some friends.
And so, this boy that I know that kinda has a crush on her,
texted her, and the boy was like,
"Hey, is that your dad
"on that Netflix show, "'Floor is Lava?'"
And she was like, "Yeah."
And he said, "Cool, have you seen all the shows?"
And she reads that text to me, like,
"He asked if I saw the shows, Dad.
"Of course I saw the shows!
"How am I supposed to answer?"
And it was this incredible moment, 'cause I thought like,
that's my girl, you bet.
Did I see the shows?
It's my dad, of course I saw the show.
So, it's really fun to--
- My kids don't, I mean,
some kids don't watch their parents' stuff,
they're like over it (laughs).
- Well, and let's be honest,
I've not been the hit factory, Kelly, that you have.
I'm sure after like, "Ah, Mom's got another number one."
- My kids are too young, they don't care what I do (laughs).
- Well one day,
like one day there's gonna be this real thing
where they're like, "Oh my gosh.
"Yeah, your mom's a hit maker.
"She's like Midas touch, this is amazing."
So for right now, it's pretty cool
for the kids to have that kind of thing, you know?
- My dogs watch all of my things.
(Kelly laughs)
- Yes, huge fans.
- I am a hit with them.
All right, wait, Olivia,
so you're as competitive as I am, I hear.
I'll bet, you know,
I might know a little bit more about superheroes than you.
I know you played superhero, but I was just wondering
if you wanna play a little game to find out.
'Cause Rutledge kind of challenged us a minute ago.
I'm just saying.
- I'm really bad,
I have like a horrible memory with these things.
- [Kelly] Okay. - [Rutledge] That's perfect!
- I'm actually slightly terrified as well,
'cause while I do love the movies
and I love like growing up with them,
I don't know that I'm going to nail this.
So watch us both epically fail together (laughs).
Wait, Rutledge, will you help us out by refereeing?
- Yeah, you know what, I had a minute just then,
I just wrote a few questions.
(Kelly laughs)
- All right, y'all, I'm back with Olivia Munn,
and "Floor is Lava" host, Rutledge Wood.
We're going to play a special version
of Rutledge's game show right now.
This is called, what is it called?
Let's show your sign.
Show your sign.
- It's called, "Oh-Lav-ia."
- "Oh-Lav-ia," get it?
(upbeat rock music)
All right, here's how it works.
Rutledge will read each of us a trivia question,
one at a time.
If we get it right, we get a point.
But, if Olivia or I get it wrong,
we have to take a shot of lava, or a sip.
AKA hot sauce that we have here at our Zoom desks.
And whoever gets the most points wins.
So, and in honor of Olivia and me,
because I love superheroes too,
all the trivia questions are superhero theme.
So, here we go.
Are you guys ready?
- (exhales) This feels so official.
Like that was absolute official game show read.
That was so impressive.
- Rutledge, I'm in it.
Okay. - [Rutledge] In it to win it.
- This is "Oh-Lav-ia," go.
- Here we go.
- Okay.
- Question one, this one's for Olivia,
which film started off
the current Marvel superhero universe?
- "Iron Man."
(bell dings)
- Oh, that's correct.
She's on the board.
- Hey, Kelly, I'm just gonna drink my water,
not the hot sauce.
(Kelly laughs)
- Oh, show off, okay.
- Rubbing it in, I love Olivia Munn!
Okay.
- Little bit of a flex there.
Here we go.
Question two, Kelly, what weapon does Thor carry?
- Oh, a hammer (scoffs).
You know what?
Gonna take a little bit of my milk, Oliva.
- Oh, wow.
- I'm lactose intolerant.
- Me too, mine's almond (laughs).
(Rutledge laughs)
- Mine's oat.
- Yeah, I wanna say, y'all better get right with oatly,
that stuff's amazing.
Here we go, question three.
Olivia, "Oh-Lav-ia,"
how many actors have played the role
of Peter Parker slash Spiderman, in the live action films?
- Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, the new British kid.
He's British, right?
- Is that really important right now?
(both girls laugh)
- You don't know how my mind works.
- Let's just assume then, yes, he's British.
- And there was, well those are the first three,
but then there's more after that.
I'm gonna say, live actions, TV and everything,
it's gotta to be more.
Let's say, it's gonna be like 10, or 15, or 20,
or 10, or 12.
- You are totally taking this hot sauce, chick.
(buzzer buzzes)
- Three, drink up.
- [Olivia] It was three? - [Rutledge] It was three.
Yes, you had it, then you doubted yourself.
- The thing I didn't know he was tricking you on,
if that that new one, the animated one counted.
- Well, I didn't know if he meant back in
like the olden days, was there another one?
- I would have given you four,
but 15 is just, it's not, that's not four's neighbor.
- First of all, I love your vat of hot sauce (laughs).
- By the way, this came from you, Kelly Clarkson.
I know, okay, well I love that we sent you the pandemic,
the Costco version of hot sauce.
We wanted you to not run out in the next--
- We got this, we got this.
You guys sent me shot glasses.
- Drink up (laughs).
- Oh, wow, boy, just--
- It comes out really slow.
Is this enough?
- You can literally sip,
'cause I literally have to sing after this.
I can't shoot this.
- [Rutledge] You're fine. - [Olivia] Wooo!
- Ooh, there it is, chase it.
Kelly, are you ready?
- I'm ready.
- Here we go.
Question number four,
how did the Fantastic Four get their super powers?
- I'm gonna say, I mean, I've seen kind of a poster for it.
So, I'm gonna say from the environment.
Something happened with the environment?
- Okay, okay, yes.
You've got something that's very vague.
Can you roll that ball down the hill a little more?
- Okay.
That was a good guess, wow.
Something happened with the environment.
There was an explosion.
- Could be, yes.
- Because of something,
and there were scientists testing stuff and it got out.
And then it hit, them.
And then they were affected.
And then they blew up.
- Let me check with the judges.
Olivia, do you buy most of that?
- I mean--
- I'm gonna say I have to sip this.
- For never having seen them,
I think that she did a pretty good job,
and I would give it to her.
I believe that they crashed back to earth.
- Cosmic or space radiation.
So really, you were there.
- Oh, I didn't get it.
(buzzer buzzes)
- It was close, okay, all right.
(Olivia claps)
I felt like you did.
You basically, like there was a thing
and then there was a problem with it.
(Kelly screams)
- That's integrity, Kelly.
That's what you're feeling right now.
I appreciate it.
- Oh my god, it's so spicy!
- You need a pickle back.
I'm gonna start a Nickelback cover band with pickles
called "Pickleback."
- That means a lot.
- Oh my god, this is so hot!
- All right, Olivia, we only got time for a couple more.
Here we go.
Which superhero does Bruce Banner transform into?
- I know this one.
- Course you do 'cause you missed the last one.
You gotta know this one.
No pressure, no pressure.
He was a just assume he was a tax accountant,
and then sometimes he got different.
- [Kelly] Really, just different.
- Turnt, as the kids say.
- I don't know why Bruce Loren is--
- Bruce Banner.
Did you see--
- - Oh yeah, I know, it's Hulk.
(bell dings) - [Kelly] Yes!
- There we go.
- Because, I don't know why, but hey.
- I know, I took some milk for you
'cause my mouth is still on fire (laughs).
- All right, Kelly, we're gonna give you one last one.
Oh, I'm gonna pick.
what would Groot say if he wanted to tell you he was hungry?
- "Groot."
(bell dings) Exactly!
He would just say, "Groot," 'cause that's all he says.
That's his one word.
- He'd say, "I am Groot."
- That's a good question (claps).
- I love "Guardians of the Galaxy," I love them.
Anyway, that was awesome.
Olivia, well done.
My mouth is on fire still.
So you win.
You guys are so awesome.
Thank you so much for playing.
