Welcome back, everybody. I'm here with Amy Adams.
Now, Amy, it is common knowledge
that you and I have strong opinions
on a variety of subjects,
and I thought that we could share some of those opinions
right now in a new game called Tell Me Why.
-♪ Tell me why ♪
Now, here's how it works.
We're each going to draw a card with an opinion on it, okay?
One we've never seen before, and then the other person
will have 20 seconds to defend that opinion
in the most convincing way possible,
no matter what it is.
And whether you agree with it or not.
Well, my daughter went to debate camp,
so she's been prepping me.
So this should be good.
She went to debate camp with me.
She's like, ooh, I don't love that for you, Mom.
How fun is that? Yeah, she's like,
oh, I like that, debate camp.
All right, I will draw first and ask you the question.
Remember, you have 20 seconds to tell me why, okay?
Okay. 20 seconds.
Amy, tell me why the middle seat on the plane is the best seat.
Well, honestly, I think the middle seat is the best seat.
It gives you an opportunity to meet new people.
I tend to get a little cold on flights,
so it's very warm and cozy.
You get the blanket of other people's shoulders.
Oh, wow.
You're not the last person to get offered your drink
when the stewardess comes along, so that's good.
Oh, yeah. You're not the first either, probably.
But anyway, that's fantastic.
A blanket of people?
I love it when you get Tilly,
you have a blanket of people next to you.
A blanket of people. A blanket of people.
Very good points. All right.
Now it is your turn to draw a card,
and I will tell you why.
Okay, let's see what we got here.
Okay. All right.
Tell me why Chapel Rowan's song,
Good Luck, Babe, is a Christmas song.
Well, have we started the clock yet?
Well, it's obvious, because, uh, good luck, babe, um...
You're doing great.
I grew up Jewish, and my mom said,
if you ever want to meet Santa, good luck, babe.
And so that was kind of Hanukkah is what we celebrate,
so that's why it's a Christmas song.
That's awesome. I like it. I like it.
Yeah. For this round, we have 10 seconds.
Okay. Okay, 10 seconds.
You defend your opinion. Okay.
Amy, tell me why the Rizzlers should be president.
Who's...
With the Rizzlers? I'm like, is this like a villain
from Gotham, like the Riddler?
I don't know how it's the Rizzlers.
No, the Rizzlers.
Tell me why the Rizzlers...
Good economic policies?
Sure.
Rhymes with Twizzlers, so must be sweet.
I don't know. I really don't know.
Yes. The Rizzlers.
That's great. That's why the Rizzlers.
Rizzler is all over TikTok. Rizzler is owning the world.
He's owning the world. He's this cute little kid,
and he has opinions, and he does this and does this.
And, yeah, the Rizzlers.
He judges things on booms, and he's great.
Oh, so is it like Riz, like charisma?
Yes. He judges. He does Riz.
He gives you Riz on stuff.
I didn't put that together.
He's got so much Riz that he's called the Rizzler.
I'm not allowed to use Riz?
Yeah, you can tonight. All right.
All right. Here we go. It's your turn.
Draw a card in 10 seconds.
Yep.
Tell me why people's sexiest man alive should be Santa Claus.
Ooh.
That's because John Krasinski is sexiest man alive.
His initials are...
J.K. So Santa Claus.
Just kidding.
Sorry. Give me a break. I'm sorry.
I got Riz. I got Riz.
My answer to that would have been Target Santa.
So if you don't know Target Santa, yeah, go look it up.
Oh, really?
Oh.
I'm sorry. You know what that sound means.
You said the magic words.
No, I'm just joking.
No, that means it's our final round.
For this one, we only have five seconds to defend our opinion.
Okay, five seconds.
I will draw a card. You got five seconds.
Okay.
Ready?
Yeah.
You're really good at this.
Okay.
Tell me why I should be able to give fruitcake as a gift.
It is a multi-use present.
You can use it as a doorstop.
You can...
A doorstop.
Doorstop.
Okay. Fascinating.
All right, very good.
Your turn to draw a card, and I will tell you why.
Okay.
Oh.
Tell me why my movie, Night Bitch,
is the holiday movie of the year.
Oh, it is animated,
and it's voiced by Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Night Bitch.
There you have it.
My thanks to Amy Adams, everybody.
We'll be right back with more tonight,
so stick around.
