00:00Steve, forgive me.

00:04No, no, go ahead.

00:05I want to say banana.

00:07Welcome to Nia's Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the unforgettable

00:13and gut-busting times our favorite celebrities competed on game shows.

00:18Gilbert, what significance does 1908 have if you were a Chicago Cubs fan?

00:24Ah, that's the year you were in Chicago!

00:28Number 10, Betty White and Alan Ludden, Tattletales.

00:33Password host Alan Ludden and sitcom star Betty White made several appearances together

00:38on various game shows over the years, but audiences really got to see inside their marriage

00:44on Tattletales.

00:45Couples who appeared on this show were asked questions that would test just how well they

00:50knew each other.

00:51When Bert Convy asks Ludden where White's vaccination scar is, he gives his answer and

00:56says if he's wrong, he will leave the studio.

00:59On her left arm, is that what you said?

01:02And if I'm wrong, I'm leaving the whole thing.

01:04I'm leaving the studio.

01:06Well, when White is asked, she provides a pretty cheeky response.

01:10Well, I have a heart-shaped mole on my left hip.

01:14Ask anybody, but I...

01:16But then insists she doesn't have one.

01:19Yes, you do.

01:20It's on your left arm.

01:23A man of his word, Ludden storms off stage as she cackles.

01:27Epic.

01:28Number 9, Kelly Pickler, Celebrity Family Feud

01:32This bubbly country star has been making us laugh since her days on American Idol.

01:37Now you look like a college professor.

01:38Do I?

01:39Do I look smart?

01:40Yeah, completely.

01:41Maybe people will take me seriously.

01:43During a 2016 appearance on the celebrity edition of Family Feud, she and hers faced

01:48off against NSYNC member Lance Massey's clan.

01:51Pickler gets so hilariously excited during her first question that she completely misses

01:56her buzzer.

01:57We asked 100 women, name something specific that only your man is allowed to do to your behind.

02:09She slaps the podium so hard she startles herself.

02:13Host Steve Harvey nearly ducks for cover.

02:16We need a bigger buzzer.

02:19Surprisingly, her team makes it all the way to the end.

02:22No matter how many times the host looks at her sideways, Pickler always has a bright

02:27smile and carefree attitude, which just makes some of her answers funnier.

02:32Was that five questions?

02:34No, it wasn't five questions.

02:36It was four questions.

02:37We didn't get to the fifth one.

02:39Why not?

02:40Because you kept talking.

02:41Number 8, Patricia Heaton, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

02:45It's a credit to her acting that this Everybody Loves Raymond co-star so convincingly portrays

02:51the know-it-all on TV.

02:53Okay, so you cry because I'm stupid.

02:56I eat ice cream because you're stupid.

02:58When Patricia Heaton was playing for a charity on a 2009 episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,

03:04she got stumped on what turned out to be a fairly simple question.

03:09Heaton immediately comes in with a disclaimer that she isn't that smart.

03:14You know I went to Ohio State, right? I don't know that much.

03:17It's not a great start, but the honesty is admirable.

03:20When she gets a math question, she nearly doubles over in pain.

03:24My kids, once they got past second grade, I could not help them at all with their math, at all.

03:29She blows right through her lifeline and eventually has to have host Regis Philbin help her through it.

03:35Alright, 70 nickels.

03:38This is the worst question you could have asked me.

03:41It's hard not to be entertained watching it unfold.

03:44Number 7, Sherri Shepherd, Celebrity Family Feud.

03:48This comedian and former co-host of The View was never afraid to speak her mind.

03:53That trend continued when she competed on Celebrity Family Feud back in 2018.

03:59Steve Harvey asks the contestants what a female cop might do in the bedroom.

04:04Shepherd immediately goes for the nuclear option.

04:07We can't share it here.

04:09It is simultaneously hilarious, scary, and completely out of pocket.

04:14Harvey doesn't even know what to say.

04:17This is a game show.

04:19This isn't therapy.

04:21He seems pretty taken aback after that, though, which is funny in its own right.

04:26Shepherd's answers don't get much better throughout the night.

04:29Which state has the best beaches in America?

04:38And you said...

04:40Miami.

04:42By some miracle, she manages to pull out a win.

04:46Though the real victory is the hilarity along the way.

04:50Name the busiest day of the week for banks.

04:52You said...

04:54Friday.

04:56Survey said...

05:01Number 6, Lynn Redgrave, Jeopardy.

05:04A classic Celebrity Jeopardy matchup between best-selling author Stephen King

05:09and The X-Files star David Duchovny does not go well for actress Lynn Redgrave.

05:14She seemingly has a hard time grasping the fundamentals of the game.

05:19Her overuse of her signaling device even gets her logged out of several questions

05:24and she can be heard grunting and groaning at her competitor's answer.

05:28I think that must be it. It's driving me nuts.

05:31As a result, Redgrave spends considerable time in the red.

05:35She even amusingly bemoans the fact that her fellow contestants aren't being gentleman

05:40and letting her answer first.

05:42I've been answering, I've been beeping.

05:44These beastly people next to me are not helping me in any way.

05:48As she pleads to Alex Trebek for an explanation,

05:51he gives a hysterical smackdown like only he can.

05:55With still chuckling.

05:57Does the word stupid mean anything?

06:07Goodbye.

06:08See you later, my car.

06:09Number 5, Jason Alexander and Carol Burnett, Jeopardy.

06:13Superstar actors can get so famous they forget the basics.

06:19Why should they be expected to know things like math or the alphabet?

06:23One common shape of the stomach is like this tenth letter of the alphabet.

06:28TV legend Carol Burnett and Seinfeld star Jason Alexander

06:32both hit a snag in a celebrity Jeopardy tournament.

06:35Jason, what is K?

06:37No!

06:38They may be television titans,

06:40but no amount of Emmys can prepare them for the ultimate challenge.

06:44Alex Trebek asks a question that requires them to figure out

06:47what the tenth letter of the alphabet is.

06:50It's actually hilarious watching them try to count it on their fingers

06:53and realise how far their grasp on the essentials has slipped.

06:58Carol!

06:59Jason!

07:00What is J?

07:01You got it!

07:02Yes!

07:03Number 4, RuPaul, Weakest Link.

07:06If you want an outlandish answer to a trivia question,

07:09get RuPaul to come on your game show.

07:12Even if the renowned drag queen and host doesn't know the answer,

07:15he'll be sure to make one up on the spot.

07:18Hey, he might even rewrite the question for you.

07:21Oh, I did it so fast, didn't I?

07:25Name a way a woman can flirt with a man

07:28without him thinking that she's a whore.

07:32That's what I'm thinking you're going to say.

07:36On an episode of The Weakest Link from the early 2000s,

07:39acerbic British host Anne Robinson asks a question about the horoscope.

07:44What H is the diagram based on planetary positions at the time of one's birth?

07:49What is RuPaul's guess?

07:51Well, iconic soul and funk diva Chaka Khan, of course.

07:55Chaka Khan.

07:56Horoscope.

07:58The fact that Robinson doesn't even break character

08:01is a testament to her skill as a host.

08:04Number 3, Lucille Ball and Carol Channing, Super Password.

08:08When these two leading ladies of the stage and screen got together,

08:12it was bound to be a laugh riot.

08:14Laughing.

08:17Happy.

08:19The secret password was fickle.

08:21Well, after a judge contested that Carol Channing's clue for her partner

08:24was not in the dictionary...

08:26Unmonogamous.

08:28...she decided to challenge.

08:30Monogamous is in the dictionary, but unmonogamous is not in the dictionary.

08:33Then how do you say not monogamous?

08:35If there's one thing we never thought we'd hear,

08:37it's Channing's distinctive voice trying to argue

08:40that unmonogamous is a real word.

08:43All those years on the stage made her a seasoned pro

08:46when it comes to milking the audience for laughs.

08:49She even has her celebrity partner, the brilliant comedian Lucille Ball,

08:53in stitches by the end.

08:55Can't you be... Well, let's not argue about it.

08:58Yes.

08:59Number 2, Gilbert Gottfried, Hollywood Squares.

09:03This revival of the classic game show

09:05saw some of the era's biggest celebrities helping,

09:08or in some cases hurting, contestants' chances of earning money.

09:12Look at me! I'm a liar! Look at me!

09:16Both players on this unhinged episode

09:18need Gilbert Gottfried's square to win the board.

09:21Gottfried decides to have a little fun with it.

09:24Gilbert, Playgirl Magazine's clinical sexologist, says,

09:28I think we should be able to talk about sex the way we talk about what?

09:34Soft-boiled eggs, because they don't take under three minutes.

09:38He keeps steering them wrong with his answers,

09:41tricking them with his confidence, and grandly declares them fools.

09:45As it continues, the gravel-voiced comedian works the crowd

09:49into rapturous laughter with each new,

09:52You fool! You fool!

09:54Host Tom Bergeron worries at one point that they're going to go overtime

09:59if a contestant doesn't see through his bit soon.

10:02After several more questions, a victor is finally declared.

10:06But let's be real, the true winner is Gilbert Gottfried.

10:32Number 1, Snoop Dogg, Celebrity Family Feud.

10:35You know it's going to be a hilarious episode

10:39when Snoop Dogg and his family are there.

10:42Name something Grandma might do if she caught Grandpa smoking marijuana.

10:46Um, they, the family says, sell it.

10:52Few people in the show business are as cool and confident

10:55as the rapper and TV host.

10:57Well, the fast money round of Family Feud almost got the best of him.

11:01Asked to fill in the blank for pie in the blank,

11:04Snoop inexplicably says, horse.

11:07When they finally get to his answer,

11:09he tries to keep a straight face and almost manages it fairly.

11:14Pie in the, what the hell did you say?

11:21Hey, we crack immediately.

11:24Of course, host Steve Harvey can only keep it together so long.

11:28He walks around and monologues about damaged brain cells.
