-We're about to play a game called "What's Behind Me?"
My partner tonight is the star of

-Here's how the game works.
Melissa and I will take turns facing our backs to the curtain.
Behind the curtain will be something
neither of us have seen before.
It could be people, objects, anything.
Once the curtain opens up, you have to pick up your card.
You have 45 seconds to try to get the other person
to guess what's behind them.
You can say anything you want or use gestures.
You just can't say any of the words on your card.
Okay, Melissa, you will be guessing first.
So let's get into position. -Oh!
-Yeah. -Oh, Jesus.
[ Laughter ]
They don't tell you about that part.
