- (FBE) So, John, Will, thank you so much
for being here with us today. - Thank you for having us.
- (FBE) In honor of your movie, "Holmes and Watson,"
where you two play a couple of expert sleuths,
we're gonna show you pictures of people who appeared
in films with you, and we're gonna see
if you can correctly guess what film it's from.
However, all the photos we'll be showing you
will be from extras.
- It feels a little bit like a deposition
like in a trial. - Yeah.
- Like, "See if you recall this day." - We're in front of Congress. Yeah.
- (FBE) So, each of you will be switching off
which films you're guessing. - Are there any snacks?
I hope there's snacks. I hope we get rewarded with a treat.
- You know what I can't stop thinking about now?
Baby carrots. - (Will) Ahh!
- I want some of those baby carrots. - I'm thinking a Kit Kat bar.
- (both) Ooh!
- (FBE) So, here is your first one. John, this one is for you.
- Okay. I'm gonna say this is... ooh. - (both laugh)
- That's a very funny expression you've caught on this woman's face.
"Guardians of the Galaxy." And I'm gonna even say
the control room at the end where I save Glenn Close.
- And how much are you gonna wager?
- I'd wager 100 pounds, 'cause I shot it in England.
- (Will) Okay. - (FBE) Let's find out if you're right.
- I didn't know this was a betting game, too.
Yeah, look! - (Dey) He's an A-hole.
- (both laugh) - (Dey) And I'm quoting him here...
- What about that guy? - (Dey) ...100% a [bleep].
- Whoa! - (John) Yeah.
- There's language in that movie. - Yeah, a little bit. A little saucy.
- Okay. - (FBE) So John, you get a point
for that one. - Okay, he got a point.
- Ding. - Ding.
- (FBE) Will, the next one's for you.
- (chuckles) Oh, I know this scene. - Ohh, yeah.
- Do you know which one it is? - This is the jazz flute scene
in "Anchorman." Boom.
That's Christina Applegate there in the background.
And I think you see part of my arm
over his right shoulder. - Let's roll the tape
and see if you're right. - (FBE) Let's find out if you're right.
- Nope, it's from "Elf." Oh.
- (Veronica) You play jazz flute? - (Ron) I dabble.
- (Tino) Would everyone love to hear Ron Burgundy
play some jazz flute? - By the way...
- (chuckles) This is funny. - ...absolutely ridiculous plot point
that Ron plays jazz flute.
Ding! (ding)
- Yeah, so... - 1-1.
- Well, there's the period style of the clothing, that tie.
- It looks like a little-- - There's someone behind that's
wearing some kind of... I'm gonna say "Hoffa."
- (FBE) All right, let's find out. Here we go.
- (priest) ...follow in faith. - Oh god, no.
- Wow. Gilbert Grape. - You really threw me off there.
Okay, I was wrong. What happens now?
- (FBE) You don't get a point. - I don't get a point.
All right. Fine. - Yeah.
(buzzer) - I still better get
some baby carrots out of this. - That's what she said.
- (both laugh)
- Wow. - Oh! What the...
I'm in this movie? (laughs) It's maybe one of the scenes
at the college in which I'm visiting
Dustin Hoffman's character in "Stranger Than Fiction"?
- That's not what I was gonna say. I'll tell you, 'cause then I can
just pretend I was right. Oh, you-- wow.
(ding) - Snap. (snaps)
- Mr. Photographic Memory. - Shot at University
of Illinois, Chicago. - I was gonna say "Old School"
just 'cause I saw the lockers and school.
- (FBE) Here is the next one. - Oh. That's...
- That's what?! I'm supposed to know this crap?
Wait, there's a lot of hats. It's gotta be a period movie.
- (Will) It's "Gangs of New York." - I'm gonna say that's--
I wanna say it's "Chicago: The Musical."
Yes! - Oh!
- Nailed it!
- (man) If someone stood up... Aww, "Mister Cellophane."
Poor old Amos. - That was good.
- You should've never trusted that woman.
Actually, when I saw that guy, I remembered that moment.
We shot that in Toronto, ironically, a movie called "Chicago"
shot in Toronto. - (claps)
Okay, this woman's... - This is very nondescript.
- ...gleeful look. And then it looks like
she's holding children's books. - (gasps) Ohhh! I think I--
- And I think that's the green... - And I see a little bit of green.
- ...green sleeve of Buddy the elf.
I think this is in the office of James Caan's publishing company.
This is "Elf."
- (Walter) You look like you came from the North Pole.
- Boom. - (Buddy) That's exactly where
I came from. - (both laugh)
- I don't blink. I don't blink in this movie,
I don't think. That green sleeve.
You guys... you went easy on me there,
a little shade of green.
- Oh, I know this. This is "Walk Hard,"
the scene where we smoke marijuanas together, right?
(ding) - Marijuanas.
- (Sam) Get out of here, Dewey. - (chuckles) Tim Meadows.
- Tim Meadows, hilarious. - And a great performance,
the great Tim Meadows. (chuckles) This might be one of the most quoted
parts of this movie thanks to the wonderful Tim Meadows.
Whoa. Oh, I can tell from the suit what movie that is,
but what scene? - Oh, this might be--
this might be from this boardroom scene
in "The Other Guys." - (Allen) Quiet as a church mouse...
- Oh. (ding)
- Boom. - Why do I even bet
against the House of Ferrell? - 'Cause it was the white columns.
Yeah. - (Allen) I'm Detective Gamble.
This is Detective Hoitz. We need your cooperation.
- Well done. - This might be one
of the greatest moments of my life.
- The contest isn't over, you know?
- (FBE) These next ones are worth two points,
and you will both be guessing.
- Oh. - And it's whose movie?
- Perhaps both of ours. - (FBE) You'll find out.
- Ohhh. (snapping)
- (FBE) So, here's your extra. - Speed round.
- (FBE) For two points, who can get this first?
- Ricky Bobby. "Talladega Nights."
- Boom. Gosh.
- I remember that fence anywhere! - Yeah.
- (Cal) I got a message for all of 'em, ready?
- (both chuckles) - (Cal) Shake and bake.
- (Ricky) What does that do? Did that blow your mind?
That just happened! - (both chuckle)
- That just happened. - (Cal whispers) Shake and bake.
- (both chuckle) - I really got in his head that day.
- Yeah, you really (laughs) slowed him down.
- Ooh. - Uh...
- Oh, we're both in this movie? What's going on?
Is that a-- - What is happening?
- What is all this jazz? - Is that someone playing
a trumpet there? - Yeah, a little instrument.
It's outdoors, field, low wall.
Oh! I know what it is! The fight from "Stepbrothers"
when those kids beat us up. - (claps) Oh my god.
John, again. Yup. - I remember that low wall.
Yeah! - Ah!
♪ (operatic music) ♪ - Ah, the white dog crap.
Brutal. - Brutal. At that point,
we'd blown throw our budget, and the prop department
couldn't make fake white dog crap. - Yeah.
- So, that was the real stuff. - Like, "Guys, sorry,
you gotta lick one for the team."
- Yup, lick one for the team. And I did.
- (FBE) Well, we got one more for ya.
- I gotta get one here. You've gotten back-to-ba--
- (FBE) It's 7-4. - I know. I'm getting destroyed.
Oh, I have no chance of winning.
- You don't have a chance? - Unless you make this
for three points. - (FBE) Let's make this
for three points. - Okay.
- (FBE) We'll see if you can tie it up. - Give me a chance to tie.
- Oh, oh, oh! - Oh, "Holmes and Watson."
- That's, uh, "Holmes and"... - Ballroom scene.
- I couldn't even get it out. - (chuckles)
- Yup, Holmes and Watson.
- (FBE) Let's find out if you're right.
Here we go. - It's the cake.
- Yeah.

- ...this Christmas, "Holmes and Watson"!
- ...is the winner. Bring in the baby carrots.
- They're gonna fall. - We're gonna douse you

and observation. - Mm-hmm.
- And you remember these things. You live 'em.
You're at these places for a couple days and...
- Especially when it comes to background.
I like to get there early. I like to personally check in
the background. I like to REALLY
get to know who's gonna also be in the scene with me
or my costar. - Will's writing a novel
based on his experience with extras.
The high stakes entry-- - High stakes entry world of--
- Yeah. - It's called, "Holding Tent."
- (laughs) - (chuckles)
- That is where the extras hang out,
the holding tent. - So, look out for "Holding Tent."
Hi, this is Will Ferrell. - And this is John C. Reilly.

background in our movies. - But you know who wins?
You win. - You.
