-All right, Jimmy. -Whoo!
-As you know, when you have us on your show...
-That's right. -...we like to get you to eat
questionable things in the name of science.
-I appreciate it. -So, tonight, it's time to ask
the age-old question, will it hummus?
-Let's talk about that.
[ "Good Mythical Morning" theme plays ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Good Mythical Morning.
-Now, on our show, we like to see if things will.
And the thing we're gonna find out tonight, if it will,
is hummus. -Okay.
Here we go, hummus.
-Will It Hummus? -All right.
Guys, what is that? What is the first one up?
This is -- you know, I love playing these games.
But now, man, I have a weak -- -Jimmy, are you hungry?
For science? -Yes, I'm hungry for science.
-Yes! -I'm always questioning
these questionable things here. What is the first one up here?
-All right. Now, typically, I eat my dessert
after my hummus, but what if there was a hummus
that allows you you to do both in tandem?
-Three Musketeers. -Will It Hummus?
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, see this treat before you.
We've dissolved some Three Musketeers into chickpeas,
lemon, and tahini. It's hummus.
It's just hummus. -Mm-hmm.
-It's just hummus. -It's just hummus.
Okay. -And we call this one
Three Hum-musketeers."
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-All right, so. -That's how I pronounce
the normal candy bar, anyway. "The Three Hum-musketeers."
-Now, they're getting worked up, but we gotta taste it.
You don't know until you dip it. [ Drums plays ]
-Look at that. -Oh, yeah.
[ Audience groans ] And then we gotta dink it.
So, we got to do a three-way dinky.
-Yeah, you gotta dink -- -And then sink.
Dink it. -Dink it and sink it.
-And sink it.
[ Laughter ]
-You don't like your chickpeas with chocolate?
[ Light laughter ]
-It's that tahini or something that just -- all right.
-Yeah, there's a little tahini-ness.
-I don't know about this at all. But I --
-It has a nice finish. It has a nice finish.
-It's like a nice ending to a great walk on
the Mediterranean Sea.
[ Laughter ] -A walk on the sea?
-Maybe right beside it. -Okay.
All right, but, will it hummus?
Yes! -No.
[ Ding, buzzer ]
-I mean, this is not hummus!
-Hey, listen. -What, am I too judgmental?
Is that hummus? -If this doesn't hummus,
you don't know where we're going from here.
[ Laughter ] -All right, I should be thankful
that this hummus-ed for a little bit.
-Okay. You ever been walking around
next to the Mediterranean Sea, if you will...
-Oh, yeah. I've walked on it.
-...very hungry, and you thought to yourself, "You know what
I'd like to eat in hummus form? Ground beef, boxed pasta,
and powdered sauce." Well, now you can.
-Hamburger Helper. -Will It Hummus?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I think -- I think this is gonna work.
[ Audience groans ] -Yeah.
This is 75% of my diet from grade school
all through college. -Right.
-It's just mashed up like a baby food.
-Yeah. Okay. -It's a full meal.
-That's true. -It's got that going,
'cause Hamburger Helper is already a full meal.
We love Hamburger Helper. He's a four-fingered
walking glove. [ Laughter ]
He's just here to help, you know?
-What's not to love about the glove?
-He's here to help. You gotta love the glove
and get some hamburger involved. Here we go.
All right. -We call this one
"Humburger, Help Us."
[ Laughter ]
-All right. Are you getting chunks in yours?
-Oh, of course. -Get some chunks.
[ Audience groans, drums plays ]
-Ooh, it is thick. -Oh, yeah.
This is thick. It's real thick.
-It's also cold, you know? -Yeah, that's true.
-Typically, that's not how I enjoy my Helper.
-You're going light, huh?
[ Laughter ]
-I went to light. I can't even dink this?
-All right, I'll just dink -- I'll dink it.
-No! [ Laughter ]
Come on.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-All right, and sink it. -You gave me enough to dink
and sink it.
[ Laughter ]
-You tell us. What do you love about it?
[ Laughter ]
-This is fantastic. -It's great!
I think it is. [ Cheers and applause ]
I think it's the winner. This should be a thing.
-Yeah. Will it hummus?
-Yes! -This will hummus!
[ Ding, cheers and applause ]
-That's good. -Not bad.
-All right, all right. Of course, we're not done.
Now it is time for the hummus that is best eaten during
happy hour.
-Rum and Coke. -Will It Hummus?
[ Audience groans ] -I can do that.
-What we've done here is we've syrup-ied some Coke,
and we mixed it in with chickpeas and rum
with a splash of lime.
Yeah, I can -- I can smell the lime and the booze.
We're calling this "Rummus and Coke."
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, here you go. -Oh, thank you.
-No problem. Uh, all right.
So, are we're gonna-- -Give it a nice, circular --
-Man, you got a really good -- you guys did two dinks.
I'm like -- this is like -- [ Drums plays ]
Oh, and you got an extra little lime squeeze on there?
-Yeah. -"Rummus -- Rummus and Coke."
-Oh, that's good. -All right, here we go.
-Dink it. -Dink it and sink it.
-Whoa.
[ Laughter ]
Whoo!
A little heavy on the rummus.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-♪ Havana ooh na na ♪
♪ I'm in Havana in Atlanta, ooh na na ♪
[ Laughter ]
Wow! Wait, was that syrup or was
that rum in there? -Both.
-Oh, man. Holy moly.
-Uh, you know, it came on pretty strong.
-It came on real strong.
Man, I feel like if I had that and I got pulled over,
I'd be in jail right now. [ Laughter ]
Be like, "It's just hummus, sir."
-"Officer, it's just hummus." They wouldn't believe me.
-So, will it hummus?
-No.
-It tasted like poison. [ Buzzer ]
That was a not-hummus. -Yeah, that's poisonous.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Well, boys, it's good to see you again.
-No, no no. -Yes.
-We've got one more for you. -We don't have time.
We have to go to a commercial break.
-No, no, one more. Now, for this last one,
usually, you don't want to find a bug in your food.
Now, I still don't want to find bugs in my food.
But we are.
[ Audience groans ]
-Bugs. -Will It Hummus?
[ Audience cries out ]
-Yep, we've got crickets... -Thank you.
...scorpions, a tarantula... [ Audience groans ]
...and an assortment of crushed bug bits.
So, we've got our barf buckets ready.
Can you see that? Jimmy, can you see him
reaching up to you? -Oh, I can see it.
You know, he's, like, reaching out to me.
I can kind of smell it, as well.
I'm not a -- personally, this is not like a thing.
-There's a lot of protein in insects.
This is the future of dining. -Yeah, man.
In 20 years, all hummus is gonna be like this.
Okay? -Do you think so?
Even if I was, like, competing for a million dollars,
I'm not sure if I would do this.
-All right, we call this -- -We got news for you.
-You're not!
[ Laughter ]
-I thought you were gonna maybe surprise me
and go, "Well, we'll give you a million bucks."
All right. Holy moly.
-We call this one "Bah-hummus-Bug."
[ Light laughter ] Okay, but here's the thing.
You got to get a bug on your pita.
[ Audience groans, drums plays ]
[ Cheers ]
-One of those yellow crunchy things,
I think that's like a larva.
-Oh, gross. -Yeah, that's good.
[ Audience groans ]
-Oh, gosh! Ew!
This is bumming me out. -You're digging for it.
There we go. [ Audience cries out ]
-There you go. -Now, look.
Hold on, hold on. -You can't vomit first.
-I know, I know, I know. I can't yet?
What if I feed it through the slot here?
[ Laughter ]
Wait, my dude rolled off. -It fell out.
-I got one for you. -Yeah, I appreciate it.
That's what friends are for, buddy.
-Now, look. Since you're willing to go
this far, I'm just gonna use this scorpion as my chip.
[ Audience groans ]
Hey, man.
[ Audience cries out ]
-All right. All right.
Hurry up. Dink it. -Dink it.
-You can dink it. Ah! Don't dink it!
Oh, no.
-You can do it. You can do it, I believe in you.
-My hummus came off. -Aw, gross.
-And sink it!
[ Audience cries out ]
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Oh!
[ Laughter ]
-That is crunchy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Did you get it? Did you get it?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-So, you liked it? -Oh, my gosh.
That was the most disgusting, weird feeling ever.
It was so gross. Kind of -- weirdly,
kind of salty, maybe, even? -It's crunchy.
-Well, you ate a scorpion.
[ Laughter ]
I had it on pita. But I didn't spit it out.
-You didn't. -Which means it might hummus.
But -- -Will it Hummus?
No! -Yeah, I thought maybe
it'd hummus. [ Laughter ]
[ Ding and buzzer ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
That did not -- that did not --
that did not hummus. That was too much --
that was too much business. And I couldn't even look at it.
That did not hummus at all.
That was a great edition of "Will It?"
