I know you guys are best friends and so we thought

we'd do a fun game, almost like a best friends challenge,

just to see how close you guys are.

I mean, Octavia, you guys are close, correct?

-Of course. [ Laughter ]

-Yeah. All right,

and so here's the way it works.

It's called "The BFF Showdown." -Okay.

-I'm going to quiz you to determine which of you

knows the most about the other one.

-Ooh. -We got this.

-All right? You think you got this?

All right, here we go.

If you get a question right, you get a point.

Okay, here we go. [ Clears throat ]

Melissa, the first question is for you.

-Okay!

-Where did Octavia go to college?

-Uh...

You know what? I don't think she went to school.

-I absolutely did go to school.

-Yeah, okay. I'm getting, like,

probably like a Ft. Lauderdale University

kind of feel.

-Um... -Lauderdale?

-Uh, no.

It's an easy one, Melissa. Auburn! Auburn!

[ Buzzer ] I went to Auburn.

-In Lauderdale?

-Uh, okay. Let's just --

Octavia, this one's easy. Ready, Octavia?

-Mm-hmm.

-Is Melissa married?

-[ Chuckles ] -[ Chuckles ]

Pass.

-That was a pretty easy one there.

I mean, you want to pass on that one?

-You're gonna pass? -I think I'm going to pass.

-What do you mean, like, Ben?

Ben.

Well, he's not my cousin.

-All right, all right. Let's just --

Right now it's 0-0, so anyone can still win.

-Okay, this is just a fluke.

-So we'll get rid of that round one.

Now, this will be the new round one.

Okay, we'll start and we'll edit that out.

It's -- here we go. Melissa. -Yes?

-What is Octavia's last name?

♪♪

I know, it's easy. [ Chuckles ]

-You know what? It's -- I just don't say it.

You know, you don't usually say --

It's -- Man, it's like on the tip of my --

It rhymes with her first name, I think.

It's not Octavia, isn't it? [ Buzzer ]

-Octavia Octavia?

Melissa?

-Maybe I'm thinking of your middle name.

-No, no. It's -- It's --

It doesn't rhyme. -Wow.

-No rhyming. Can we edit all that out

and, like, let this be the first question?

-Octavia Boctavia. Octavia Boctavia.

-I think that you would know your best friend's last name,

wouldn't you? I mean --

-Well, I mean, she's right, you never say it.

[ Laughter ] You just never say it.

-Nobody -- If you're friends,

you don't say the other person's last name.

That'd be so creepy. I don't curtsy to her either.

-This next one -- Here we go. Super easy.

Octavia, what does Melissa look like?

Just a hint -- You can see her on Zoom now.

♪♪

-Let's look now.

-Okay, um...

-One of these boxes on the screen...

-She's wearing green. -...is Melissa.

[ Buzzer ] What's that?

-She's wearing green. -No, you're wearing green.

-I'm not wearing Green. Are you looking at yourself?

-Oh. Well, I guess that is me, huh?

-Uh, okay. Let's go to the --

cut to the last question.

Okay, this one is worth a million points.

Usually when we play the game, it gets harder as we goes on,

but this one I'm going to make this really easy. Ready?

-It started hard. You started hard.

-Yeah. -All right, here we go.

This one's very easy. A million points.

Whoever gets this wins.

Either one of you guys say one thing about the other person.

♪♪

-See, Jimmy -- -Here's the thing, no one --

you guys have just been silent.

It is -- anyone says anything,

I'll give you a million points about the other person.

-I just -- You know what?

We just need to be transparent.

We don't really like --

we don't really hang out in real life.

No, we're Hollywood friends.

You know, like, when the camera stops, we stop.

-Wow. Okay, I get it. I'm sorry. Wow.

-I've never actually seen her in person.

-Really? -You know, how you kind of,

it's like, whenever you hire, you know, the two little,

the two little girls that play your daughter.

-No, I didn't hire those girls. That's my actual daughters.

They're my kids. -That sweet woman you got

playing your wife, I mean, I really love her.

You guys have good chemistry. -She is good.

-Yeah. -She's really good.

-She is my wife. -Almost convinced me.

You almost convinced me. -Yeah.

-She is my wife. -"My kids are really my kids."

[ Laughter ]

-Me, too.

-Okay. Well, we'll be right back

with non-friends Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy.

When we come back, more "Tonight Show, everybody."

-Can I use your kids?

I want to shoot something,

and I need a couple kids to play my kids.

-No, they're not actors, though.

That's -- they're just actual just kids.

-It's okay. I'll call their agents.

It's fine. -They don't have agents.
