But my next guest has more intellectual interests.

At the age of eight, he's already a published author with a best-selling book on Amazon.

Everybody, please welcome Nicholas Buama.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Hey, Nicholas, how you doing, man?

I'm doing great.

How are you?

Wonderful.

I've never talked to an eight-year-old intellectual before, so.

I'm gonna have to pull myself together because I've been a 62-year-old fool for a lot of years now.

So, let me ask you this, Nicholas.

What made you write this book?

I wrote this book because my mom started to teach me big words.

So, when I was at school and I asked to collaborate, my teacher messaged my mom.

So, when I got home, my mom asked me, do I want to write a book?

And I said yes.

And that's where it all began.

Aw.

Aw.

Aw.

Aw.

Aw.

Aw.

Tell me a little bit, you know, about your book.

What is it about?

My book is about helping kids expand their vocabularies and Kayla and Kyle are having an election and throughout the way, Kayla and Kyle are using big words.

Kayla and Kyle, who is, oh, they the dictionaries.

Oh, they the two books.

You mean the two characters?

Yeah, the two characters.

That's what I was trying to.

That's.

Yeah, the two characters that I thought was books, but obviously, since I ain't read a lot of them, how would I know what a book look like?

So, let me ask something.

And they walk around and they just use big words.

They're having an election and throughout the way, they're using big words.

Have you ever talked to an adult that didn't know what you was talking about?

Yes, plenty of times.

You don't know what it feels like to be a grown man and be talking to a child and you don't know how to talk to them because you're scared they might say something with a big word in it and you don't know what it is.

Can I do it right now?

Yeah, go ahead, let me try.

Okay, exacerbate.

Exas, what?

Exacerbate.

Exacerbate, just take one guess of what it means.

I'll tell you what it means.

It means to make a situation worse.

Yeah, that's what it'll do.

Say it again.

Exacerbate.

Okay, but who you hollering at though?

What do you mean, like who I'm hollering at?

I like you, man.

So you could probably spell good too, huh?

Man, you ever enter spelling bees and stuff?

You ain't got time for that.

You writing books.

You're on Amazon bestseller list and everything.

Now, you recently had a book signed, didn't you?

Yeah, how did that go?

It went well.

It was at Barnes and Nobles and I sold all the books in less than an hour.

I hear that you've been receiving some letters from some kids who've bought your book.

What have some of the kids been saying?

They say I inspire them and they wanna write books too.

Man, you a good kid, you know that?

You're pretty fly too.

Thanks.

Being smart is a great gift to have.

I know.

I didn't get that gift when I was growing up.

But you are smart.

Well, I appreciate you saying that, man, yeah.

I'm smart about a couple of things, you know, like big words.

I'm not really good at big words.

I never, I didn't have this book.

See, if I'd have had this book when I was a kid,

I'd have knew some big words.

Like watch this right here.

Standing in front of the mirror with it.

Innate.

You ain't even read the, how you know that?

I didn't even write the book.

Okay, let me ask you this.

I heard you got a pretty big goal for yourself.

What is that?

My goal is to get my book into every elementary school library in the United States.

Let's go to work, let's go to work.

I have some more goals.

Huh?

I have two more goals.

Oh, you got two more goals.

And another one is to donate some books to take to Ghana to give to their schools and libraries.

And another one is to get enough subscribers for my YouTube channel because I'm doing a 30 second word.

It's where I'll teach you a word in 30 seconds or less.

Okay, let me tell you what I'm gonna do.

How many of these books do you want to put in Ghana?

555.

Since you're such a smart kid and you're trying real hard,

I'm gonna buy 555 books and we're gonna put them in the school of Ghana.

How about that?

All right?

Deal.

Yeah.

That's one of your goals, baby.

And we're gonna make the rest of them come true too, okay?

Okay.

I enjoy talking with you, man.

You're a smart young fella.

Keep up the good work, man.

Thank you.

All right, everybody, welcome back.

We've had some amazing contestants come on the show to play Harvey's Hundreds and we wanted to bring a few of the best players back to go head to head.

This is Harvey's Hundreds All Stars.

All right, let's meet our contestants for the day.

Back in December, she got all 10 matches correct with three seconds left on the board.

She's a flight attendant from Los Angeles.

Please welcome back Cheryl.

And with four seconds to spare back in January, she got all 10 matches and won $1,000.

She lives in L.A. and works as a city employee.

Please welcome back Keishla back to the show.

All right, you ladies ready to go head to head in Harvey's Hundreds?

Yeah.

All right, here's how this is going to work.

You each gonna get a shot to play again.

The contestant who gets the most matches will be our winner for the day.

The top finisher not only will get to keep the money they win, they also get the opponent's money as well.

It's a very, very hurtful situation to have to go over to their seat and take some money out of somebody's hand.

Before the show, we did a coin flip and Keishla is going to play first.

So Cheryl, have a seat.

All right, here's how the game work.

We put 20 pictures up on the board.

You got 60 seconds to match them up.

$100 for each match.

Match all 10, that's $1,000.

Hopefully you'll be able to keep that money.

All right?

Let's flip them over.

Scramble them up.

All right, Keishla, your time will start after you pick your first two numbers, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Six, seven, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, five, eight, five, eight, 10, 11, 12, 13, 11, 12, 12, 10, 12, 10, 11, 12, 13, 12, 13, 13, 14, two, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 11, 16, 17, 18, three, 13, two, 18, 19, 20, nine, two, two, 19, two, 19, nine, 20, 14, 18, 15, 17.

All right.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Thank you.

Take a seat over there.

Let's go, Cheryl.

Cheryl, hope you hold on to it, cause Lord have mercy.

Now, Cheryl, you're up.

You've got 60 seconds.
