-Welcome back
to "The Tonight Show." We're about to play
"Hey, Robot"! -♪ Hey, hey, hey, robot ♪ ♪ Hey, robot ♪ -To play against a robot, I'm going to need some help
from someone smart. He's a very funny comedian
and the host of the multiple Emmy-winning
show "Last Week Tonight," which airs Sundays
at 11:00 pm on HBO. Please welcome John Oliver. [ Clapping ]
That's what I'm talking about. -Hello, there.
-Here we go. Look at you.
-Hello, Jimmy. Hello, everybody. -It's so good to see you. This is bizarre. It's like you're Max Headroom or something. [ Laughter ]
This is like an art piece. [ Clapping ]
I like it. Yeah, it's cool. Now, John, this is based on a real board game,
called Hey Robot, that you can play at home,
everyone watching. It's like the classic game
Password, but your partner is
a smart speaker. First, what I will do is I will
pick a card with a word on it and we'll take turns asking
a question to get the speaker to say that word somewhere
in its answer. You ready for this?
I will go first. -Yeah, I'm ready.
-Okay, bud. Okay, so I have to get it
to say leprechaun. -Okay. -Now, if I don't get it,
then you go. You try to give it a shot.
Alright, here we go. Oh, my God. Alexa, what fictional
cartoon character is associated
with the pot of gold? [ Laughing ] -Here's something I found
on the Web. According to grumpycats.com, cartoon Grumpy Cat frowns next
to four shamrocks with "pot of gold"
and "I hope it's empty" printed around her
on a cute green shirt. [ Buzzer ]
-That makes zero sense. -For a start, there,
Alexa has got to spend less time on grumpycat.com. If that's where she's
getting all her news, [ Laughter ]
we're in real trouble. -[ Clapping ] -At best, it's an aggregation
site, Alexa. You cannot trust any of the data
that's coming out of that. -Okay, here we go. John, you have to try to see
if you can get it to say this word.
-Okay. [ Laughs ] This should be fun
because, if she gets it wrong, I'm anxious to hear
what she comes up with. Alexa, what is an offensive
Irish stereotype? -[ Laughing ] -Here's something I found
on the Web. -Uh-huh.
-According to reference.com, stereotypes
about Irish people include they all drink a lot, they all have red hair,
and they all have a mean temper. -There you go.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, John.
[ Buzzer ] [ Laughter ]
Alexa, that's just ignorance. [ Laughter ] Happy St. Patrick's Day, bud. Ooh, I got it! I got it!
-Those are some arcane terms. -Alexa, what is the mascot
for Notre Dame Fighting Irish? -Here's something I found
on the Web. According to wikipedia.org, the Notre Dame leprechaun
is the mascot [ Ding ]
of the University -- -Alright, I feel good.
-Well done. Well done.
-Thank you. Appreciate it. Alright, Alexa, stop.
Thank you very much. Here we go. It's your turn.
You're up. You have to get it to say
Liverpool. -Oh. Alexa, what is the greatest
football team in the history of the sport? -Here's something I found
on the Web. According
to windycitygridiron.com, "There's only one
Greatest Team of All Time in the History of Great Teams,
and that Team is the 1985 Chicago Bears. -There you go.
-Oh, [bleep], Alexa.
[ Buzzer ] -[ Laughing, clapping ]
Absolutely. I totally agree.
That is correct. You got
"The Refrigerator" Perry. Absolutely. The Chicago Bears, that's the only greatest
team in the history -- I have it.
Ready? Alexa, where are
the Beatles from? -The Beatles is originally
from Liverpool. [ Ding ] -Oh. Nothing offensive you want
to say about that, Alexa? -She doesn't just say
-No stereotypes... -offensive things. -...about Scousers
that you want to throw in? [ Laughter ] -[ Clap ]
-Speak from your heart, Alexa, your rotten heart.
-Oh, my God. [ Laughter ] This is clearly not
a commercial for this. [ Laughter ] -Oh, in which case,
I've got another one. Alexa, Alexa, how bad are
Amazon working conditions? [ Laughter ] -I'm not sure.
-Alexa, stop. Alexa, stop. Here we go.
-Oh, no, Alexa. No, Alexa. Alexa, what is union busting?
-No, no, Alexa! This is me time now. [ Laughter ] -Now is Mon--
-Alexa, stop. Stop, please, Alexa, please?
Listen to me. Alright,
I have to get it to say.. [ Laughter ] -Okay. -Black hole. -Alexa, what is Soundgarden's
biggest hit? -"Spoonman." [ Laughter ] -Alexa, name me some
of Soundgarden's greatest songs. -Here's something I found
on the Web. According to cnn.com,
"The band's greatest songs -- miasmic punishers
like "Black Hole Sun" or "Fell on Black Days" --
-Alexa, stop. You feel like you did that? -I felt like that was,
at best, teamwork, Jimmy, and, at worst, was all my idea. [ Laughter ] -Man versus machine. That was us, proving that -- something.
Did we prove anything? What is a black hole? -Are you asking me or Alexa? [ Laughter ] -When I speak to you -- John Oliver,
what is a black hole? [ Laughter ] -Well, I looked
at grumpycat.com [ Laughter ]
and it turns out -- -Forget it, forget it,
forget it. You can't base -- [ Laughs, claps ] We're down to our final round. [ Laughter ] It is worth 1,000 points. -Oh, wow! [ Laughter ] -You have to get Alexa to say the word... -Ah! Alexa, what do people
from Philadelphia call sandwiches? -Here's something I found
on the Web. According to ezcater.com, in Philadelphia, a sandwich
layered with meat and cheese is a hoagie.
-Aaaaah!
[ Ding ] [ Dinging ]
Oh, my God. Look at that.
Come on. John Oliver, the king of Alexa. Alexa, stop.
-I don't like you, Alexa. -I think you're a negative.
-Alexa, stop.
Don't listen to him. John Oliver, everybody.
-You're a negative -- Stick around. I'm talking more
with John after the break. -I will never let you
-Alexa, -in my home.
-mute. Alexa, mute.
