-Here we have Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy.
I know you guys are best friends and so we thought
we'd do a fun game, almost like a best friends challenge,
just to see how close you guys are.
I mean, Octavia, you guys are close, correct?
-Of course. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah. All right,
and so here's the way it works.
It's called "The BFF Showdown." -Okay.
-I'm going to quiz you to determine which of you
knows the most about the other one.
-Ooh. -We got this.
-All right? You think you got this?
All right, here we go.
If you get a question right, you get a point.
Okay, here we go. [ Clears throat ]
Melissa, the first question is for you.
-Okay!
-Where did Octavia go to college?
-Uh...
You know what? I don't think she went to school.
-I absolutely did go to school.
-Yeah, okay. I'm getting, like,
probably like a Ft. Lauderdale University
kind of feel.
-Um... -Lauderdale?
-Uh, no.
It's an easy one, Melissa. Auburn! Auburn!
[ Buzzer ] I went to Auburn.
-In Lauderdale?
-Uh, okay. Let's just --
Octavia, this one's easy. Ready, Octavia?
-Mm-hmm.
-Is Melissa married?
-[ Chuckles ] -[ Chuckles ]
Pass.
-That was a pretty easy one there.
I mean, you want to pass on that one?
-You're gonna pass? -I think I'm going to pass.
-What do you mean, like, Ben?
Ben.
Well, he's not my cousin.
-All right, all right. Let's just --
Right now it's 0-0, so anyone can still win.
-Okay, this is just a fluke.
-So we'll get rid of that round one.
Now, this will be the new round one.
Okay, we'll start and we'll edit that out.
It's -- here we go. Melissa. -Yes?
-What is Octavia's last name?
♪♪
I know, it's easy. [ Chuckles ]
-You know what? It's -- I just don't say it.
You know, you don't usually say --
It's -- Man, it's like on the tip of my --
It rhymes with her first name, I think.
It's not Octavia, isn't it? [ Buzzer ]
-Octavia Octavia?
Melissa?
-Maybe I'm thinking of your middle name.
-No, no. It's -- It's --
It doesn't rhyme. -Wow.
-No rhyming. Can we edit all that out
and, like, let this be the first question?
-Octavia Boctavia. Octavia Boctavia.
-I think that you would know your best friend's last name,
wouldn't you? I mean --
-Well, I mean, she's right, you never say it.
[ Laughter ] You just never say it.
-Nobody -- If you're friends,
you don't say the other person's last name.
That'd be so creepy. I don't curtsy to her either.
-This next one -- Here we go. Super easy.
Octavia, what does Melissa look like?
Just a hint -- You can see her on Zoom now.
♪♪
-Let's look now.
-Okay, um...
-One of these boxes on the screen...
-She's wearing green. -...is Melissa.
[ Buzzer ] What's that?
-She's wearing green. -No, you're wearing green.
-I'm not wearing Green. Are you looking at yourself?
-Oh. Well, I guess that is me, huh?
-Uh, okay. Let's go to the --
cut to the last question.
Okay, this one is worth a million points.
Usually when we play the game, it gets harder as we goes on,
but this one I'm going to make this really easy. Ready?
-It started hard. You started hard.
-Yeah. -All right, here we go.
This one's very easy. A million points.
Whoever gets this wins.
Either one of you guys say one thing about the other person.
♪♪
-See, Jimmy -- -Here's the thing, no one --
you guys have just been silent.
It is -- anyone says anything,
I'll give you a million points about the other person.
-I just -- You know what?
We just need to be transparent.
We don't really like --
we don't really hang out in real life.
No, we're Hollywood friends.
You know, like, when the camera stops, we stop.
-Wow. Okay, I get it. I'm sorry. Wow.
-I've never actually seen her in person.
-Really? -You know, how you kind of,
it's like, whenever you hire, you know, the two little,
the two little girls that play your daughter.
-No, I didn't hire those girls. That's my actual daughters.
They're my kids. -That sweet woman you got
playing your wife, I mean, I really love her.
You guys have good chemistry. -She is good.
-Yeah. -She's really good.
-She is my wife. -Almost convinced me.
You almost convinced me. -Yeah.
-She is my wife. -"My kids are really my kids."
[ Laughter ]
-Me, too.
-Okay. Well, we'll be right back
with non-friends Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy.
When we come back, more "Tonight Show, everybody."
-Can I use your kids?
I want to shoot something,
and I need a couple kids to play my kids.
-No, they're not actors, though.
That's -- they're just actual just kids.
-It's okay. I'll call their agents.
It's fine. -They don't have agents.
