Thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for everything you did to get here.
Boy, it is raining a lot outside.
They say we're in the middle of an El Nino, which is
Spanish for a six-hour commute.
[LAUGHTER]
There were garbage cans that had flown all over the place.
It's like-- you park your car on the street,
and the water's hitting it and becoming like a huge fountain.
It's crazy out there.
Luckily you don't have to go out in the rain tonight.
You can stay inside and watch my brand new episode
of Game of Games on NBC.
[APPLAUSE]
People always ask me who comes up with these games.
Whose idea is it.
And it's the same people who work on this show.
And they're very nice people.
Obviously deeply, deeply troubled inside.
[LAUGHTER]
What we did is, you know we play games all the time.
We've always played games since the beginning
of the first season.
We've been doing the show 16 seasons.
So we only took the best games from this show
to play on Game of Games.
Today I thought we would look back
on some games that didn't quite make it.
[LAUGHTER]
This first game was a game we played in season 6 called
Donuts for Dough.
It combined giant inner tubes and a tiny donut
on a fishing pole.
And if it sounds stupid it's because it was.
[LAUGHTER]
And you can tell I thought it was stupid because I said it
before we even played the game.
It's time for a stupid, dumb new game we call Donuts for Dough.
Go.
[CHEERING]
No, no hands.
No hands.
Hold on.
[LAUGHTER]
[DING]
Stupid game.
[APPLAUSE]
Season 6 was the year I wore my hair helmet.
[LAUGHTER]
I would just slip it on in the morning.
You can tell that clip is old because people were still
willing to eat gluten.
That's how far back that was.
[LAUGHTER]
So that still was not the stupidest game
that we played because then we played something
called Norwegian Nosedive.
It was like twister without the dots.
I told two strangers--
and that's the important thing to watch here--
two strangers what parts of their bodies
were allowed to touch the floor.
And they had to race to do it.
And this is what that looked like.
Two feet, an ear, two thumbs, and a knee.
Two feet, an ear, two thumbs--
[LAUGHTER]
And a knee.
Lift your feet up.
Two--
[LAUGHTER]
An ear, and a thumb.
[LAUGHTER]
We got it!
You got it?
All right, well.
And you know, those two are happily married now,
so that's good.
[LAUGHTER]
Fortunately, the games on my Game of Games
are fantastic, like the game Dizzy
Dash that combines trivia with the feeling of being
fall-down drunk.
And this is what happens on tonight's episode.
Here we go.
What exercise uses an indoor stationary bike
and an enthusiastic instructor.
Spin them.
[BEEPING]
Spin class.
Spin class is right, Brenton.
Step up.
All right, tonight's episode is so good.
And you can see the whole thing at 8:00 tonight on NBC.
