Now, here's -- This is very exciting.
Here's how it works.
We'll be each served a gourmet three-course meal
presented by superstar chef Mario Batali,
but each entrée has been prepared
with one unusual secret ingredient,
and it's our job to figure out what that ingredient is.
We'll write down our guesses,
then reveal our answers one at a time.
Mario, can you tell us what the first course will be?
-Well, to start with, sir...
-Coming in hot.
-...today we have an herbal Shanghai soup dumplings
with organic bean curd.
There is, however, a secret ingredient.
-Oh. -It may be delicious.
[ Laughter ] -Wait, what?
-Tell us what you think. -It may be delicious.
Yes. Here we go. All right.
-Taste, taste, taste, taste, taste, taste.
-Should we put the --
-Oh, look at you going all Chinatown.
-Do we put -- Do we put it in this thing?
-Yeah, that's what I would do. I would dip it.
Oh, look at Jimmy Fallon doing it Jersey-style.
[ Laughter ]
That's a nice move.
-I didn't know.
I haven't been to this restaurant!
I'm sorry.
All right, here we go. This is a soup dump.
-I'm so confused right now.
-No, Liam, just eat. -Eat, eat, eat!
-Do we use these, or do we use this?
-These are used for -- -There's so many utensils.
-No, there's too many.
-Obviously Ashton's the only professional at the table.
He ate the whole thing. Come on.
-It's a fresh, hot -- -Oh, I know!
-Ready? -Hot soup dump.
-Wait your turn, wait your turn.
And now it is time to write down your answers.
-I have no idea.
-You just make a wild guess, then.
I recommend drinking a big glass of red wine
with each of these tastes.
-I have no idea. -[ Mumbles ]
-Mr. Kutcher, please write down your answer.
-Oh, man. -Please write down a guess.
Write down an unfathomable, measurable something.
-I can't even think of food right now.
-I know. I think it -- -You might recognize it.
-Oh!
-Imagine a dirty bar in Shanghai.
-That's disgusting!
[ Cheers and applause ]
All right.
-Do you not have an answer?
Is your answer vomit, Mr. Kutcher?
-I'll save your life. Oh, there's also --
I should say, there's a spit bucket under everyone's chair
if you can't handle -- if you can't handle the food.
I apologize. -And the first sampler is...
-Okay. -Mr. Kutcher, your answer is?
Dumpling rice... -Wrap.
-...wrap? -Yeah, rice wrap.
[ Buzzer ] -He just wrote what it was.
-Jimmy? It's a secret ingredient.
-On the inside?
-You're not identifying the dish.
-We all saw what the food was. -Hold on.
-I don't know!
What's around the outside? It was like a rice pasta.
-No, the idea is that you recognize the dish
and then you tell us what the secret ingredient is,
the one that maybe you didn't expect to be in the dish.
-Wine. -No. Gosh. All right. Ready?
-All right, Jimmy, what's your guess?
-Pine-Sol.
[ Buzzer ]
-Enh! Vanessa?
-Scope spearmint mouthwash.
-Hey! Close? No? [ Buzzer ]
-Aw. -And Liam?
-I just wrote "licorice,"
but I didn't even really know how to spell it, so...
-Oh, close!
[ Buzzer ] None correct!
-That's how you spell it. "Licqurish."
-Mr. Fallon, Mr. Fallon, you might recognize this from days in the bar.
The secret ingredient today was Jagermeister.
-Oh! -I should have known that!
-I love Jagermeister.
-All right. For your next course...
-That's why I had the vomit reflex.
-You go back in for another one.
For your next course, you'll be enjoying --
Ladies and gentlemen, please, a little bit of attention.
For your next course, you will be enjoying
a pizza bianco with spring vegetables,
burrata, and pecorino
dusted with crushed red chili flakes.
-This looks really good.
-Available at many of my restaurants for $72 a piece.
-Oh, that's cheap. Preorder it.
-But can you guess the secret ingredient?
-Now, there's a secret ingredient in here.
-So taste it.
-Oh, I got it. -Here's the rule.
-No, I already know that it's not burrata.
-Identify the ingredient you don't recognize.
-There's some white smear of swiping down there.
-And then write it down. -And I don't --
-Oh, wait. What is that? -Shh!
keep it to yourselves.
-Ugh! -All right, ready?
-I'm not even going to eat it.
-And now write down your answers, please.
-Oh, no! What is it? -I'm going to throw up.
-There is a spit bucket and a vomit bucket
to both of your left- and your right-hand side.
[ Laughter ]
-No, that's my bucket! That's yours.
You got your own bucket! -Where's my bucket?!
-That's your bucket. -[ Laughs ]
-Jimmy, what'd you learn in school today?
-Sharing.
-All right, Ashton.
-[ Groans ] All right. -Whoa!
-It's not that bad, ladies and gentlemen.
Please. -It is gross.
-I don't know what -- It's all a secret.
Everything in this is a secret.
-All right, Ashton, can you write down your guess, please?
-I thought it was a nice thing.
-You wait. Liam enjoyed it. -You enjoyed it?
-Us British people, we have a different concept
of what's going on here. -You enjoyed it?
-There's a language barrier. -In England,
this is a popular dish, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, Mr. Kutcher, can you please show us your guess?
-Oh, sorry about that. -Me? Me? Am I up? There.
-Chocolate? [ Buzzer ]
[ Laughter ]
-Uh, Mr. Fallon, please.
-I'm gonna say marshmallow fluff.
-Bing!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Should I be happy? Should I be proud?
-Vanessa and Liam, did you have a guess?
-I went Oreo -- Oreo cream.
-Close. -Yeah, that counts.
-Mascarpone.
-Close but, no, not close. [ Buzzer ]
-Yeah. I'll take marshmallow fluff.
-All right. To end things...
[ Voices overlapping ]
-All right. Hold on. Focus. Focus.
Back over here, ladies and gentlemen. Back over here.
To end things... -I just don't want to throw up.
Like, I real-- I just don't want to throw up.
-Please don't throw up on national TV. It's late night.
To end things, we have not one but two desserts.
In front of you are two things --
New York style individual cheesecakes
alongside Roman gelato
with a sliver of buttered pistachio brittle.
But can you guess the secret ingredients?
Each one is worth 1,000 points.
Please start with the New York style individual cheesecakes
and write down your answers.
-I hate creamy stuff. This is --
-One at a time. -Oh!
-And then taste the ice cream and write that one down, too.
Oh, go in. Come on. The first one's easy.
No challenge. no challenge. -Um...
Oh! What are you?
-Ashton, whatever you're thinking, it's right!
-[ Coughing ]
-Oh, you like this?
-Oh, Jimmy, come along.
This is actually intuitive.
-Ah! -You know this one.
He knows this one. -[ Laughs giddily ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
-Now that you've made your guess
for the New York style cheesecakes,
please move on to the Roman gelato
with the sliver of buttered pistachio brittle.
-I think I might have one. Yes!
[ Audience groans ] I really hope so.
♪♪
What -- What is it?
[ Laughter ]
♪♪
-Ugh!
[ Laughter ]
♪♪
[ Laughter ]
-Can I refuse to try something?
-No, you have to try it. You have to try a little bit.
-I got it. I got it.
-Please write down your answers.
-Ugh! Ugh! God!
-All right.
So, what did you think the ingredients were? Ashton?
First...
Doritos and anchovies.
First, wrong, second, correct.
[ Buzzer, ding ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Jimmy? Jimmy? -Yes?
-First and second.
-I'm going to say butter and caviar.
-Wrong and wrong. [ Buzzer, buzzer ]
Vanessa. -I said corn flakes...
-And? -And...
-Barf? -Barf?
[ Buzzer, buzzer ]
-Wrong and wrong. Liam.
-Might be. -I said Doritos and that nasty.
-That nasty. Does "that nasty" count?
-I think "that nasty" counts, actually.
[ Ding ] -What was it?
-The actual answer -- The actual answers are...
Fritos corn chips in the cheesecake.
-Oh! -See, I wouldn't know that.
I thought it was butter.
-And anchovies, for Mr. Kutcher's win.
-Ashton Kutcher is the champ tonight!
-The winner is... [ Cheers and applause ]
-To the champ! [ Laughs ]
-What?! What?! What?! I won!
-Our thanks to Mario Batali, Ashton Kutcher,
Vanessa Hudgens, and Liam Payne!
