Things sure got competitive on Tuesday’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon! The late-night host and Ellen DeGeneres teamed up against Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell for a rousing game of “Password.” The game itself was simple—each teammate was given a password, and in order to get his or her partner to guess this password, he or she offered a one word clue. In the beginning, the Oscar nominees (Carell scored a nod for his role in Foxcatcher, while Witherspoon’s Wild performance earned her a nom; she also won an Academy Award for 2005’s Walk the Line) were on against the talk show hosts. DeGeneres was able to guess the password “booty” thanks to Jimmy Fallon’s simple clue, “call”! Immediately after that, Witherspoon guessed the password “Soprano” thanks to Carell’s accented delivery of his clue, “Tony!”
Things quickly went downhill, however, when “blush” was the password. Witherspoon said “makeup” for her clue, leading Carell to guess, “Revlon?”
