## Transcript

In this video, I gathered Kevin Hart, Paris Hilton, Howie Mandel, Holy mackerel. And I trapped them all in this red circle.
[cheering] And that million dollars will be going to a charity of the winner’s choosing. Be behind the red line.
And I watch your show. I watch Impractical Jokers all the time. Pleasure. I love you, I'm a big fan. And we didn't get just one member, but all four
of the pop rock global phenomenon, Five Seconds of Summer. We also have Diplo and The Chainsmokers, whose songs, collectively, I think Howie Mandel really is tryna do some mind games by sitting on the ground.
You've done some crazy stuff in your life. I've seen you get nailed by hockey pucks. Depends on what kinda hot sauce.
Have you ever seen this many celebrities in a YouTube video? inspired by my ten-episode series, Beast Games. Let's kick off the first game.
Open the wall! Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, ok! That's not just one, but five shiny cars, including this $250,000 Lamborghini.
For game one, if you manage to throw a dodge ball through any one of those five hoops, -Oh my God! -No way!
All thirty of you have the opportunity But if you step up and throw the ball and miss the circle, Open the circle!
It's like Fortnite. So which one of you is going to risk elimination I got this, man.
Comedian Jay Pharoah is our first contender. -What’s going on, man? -Aw, man! -It's gonna be that one. -That Tesla?
What a idiot! [chanting] Jay! Jay! I knew that was gonna happen.
Open the portal. Y’all got me going to Heaven! Oh, no. We good.
Calum from Five Seconds of Summer is giving it a shot. You either win her a car or you're eliminated. You got this, lock in.
[group exclaims] You did us proud, babe. That was very brave. I'm going in.
[group exclaims] Ced, you didn't even wind up, man. And I was starting to wonder if any one of these celebrities…
would win their fan a car. -Oh, no. We're down to a Chainsmoker. -[laughing] Yeah. Diplo, you're gonna do it?
I really want to give away one of these cars. You know what? I think it's me. Will Diplo win his biggest fan a car?
[cheering] Diplo is back in the game! Oh, you got a car! You got a car!
Everyone brace yourself for game two. It won't be as easy. Someone early on's gonna get sloppy, and they're gonna get eliminated.
Alright. What do you think's about to happen? I feel like there's gonna be something psychological. -Connect Four on fire is a mental game? -Yeah, I think.
Yeah! Switch the floor to black. The circle is no longer red, which means you can all stand on it.
Twenty-six of you remain. That number is about to drop quite a bit. Change the floor! you get to decide between playing a strong game or a smart game.
So if you step in this half, you're locked into a game of strength. But if you step into this half over here, you'll be locked into a game of smarts. Are you a strong celebrity or are you a smart celebrity?
I feel like I'm both. I feel like I'm strong and I'm wise. Look at me. What do you think? -I'm going strength. -Done.
[NBA Announcer] Howard throws it down! is deciding between strong or smart. You see this?
Dude, you're good at games. I think you should go smart. But at the same time, you know, I've been working out, baby. Everyone here looks quite fit.
Let's go. is because in Season 2 of Beast Games, 100 of the smartest people on the planet.
It is better than anything I've ever done. We're going to be kicking things off with the smart game. And relax. Just relax. Have a seat.
Change the floor! I need everyone who chose the smart game to pick a star. [Marsai Martin] Wait, what is the game?
[Yvonne Orji] Oh. If anybody's got a little bit of anxiety, this is normally when it kicks in.
Beside each of you is ten blocks. while you try to memorize the pattern. and the six smartest celebrities
to recreate my pattern with their blocks from memory will move on. The first color in the pattern is… green!
Why are we applauding for that? He took a green-- Alright, everyone. The second color is blue.
Yellow. Alright, the last three. Yes. Go.
Are you-- Kevin, you got it? Alright. And-- Alright, go for it! Go for it! Start building.
First six to complete it move on! Oh, we got one finisher. There are only five spots remaining.
Oh! Yung Gravy has finished second, and Audrey Nuna is third. Green… Blue…
Sal Vulcano is fourth. If you lose this game, you are out of the competition. And that's it! Howie Mandel is our final finisher.
If your star is green, you're moving on. You recreated the pattern first. Dang!
Maybe you shoulda done the strong game. No, no. Tiffany. What Dwight did, he recorded it.
I did. I recorded it on my camera. Message to all the kids at home: If you are going to cheat… Ok, did anyone else cheat in here?
Howie did it on his whole phone. It turns out Howie Mandel had snuck in his phone You know why I did it?
Yeah, say that's terrible. Bye, guys. I'm gonna find me a husband!
And with that, 21 celebrities now remain. But remember, only one is gonna win the million dollars for their charity. so strong contestants, come on up to the floor.
Uh… Push ups. Push ups would be great. [group exclaims]
Aw, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Never mind, I'm out. Oh, no, the pole? This is the worst! [Ally Brooke] Shut up!
[Jimmy] Alright, change the floor. As you can see, there's no longer a red circle. Everyone just pick a pole. They're all the same. Choose a pole.
Saw this pole instantly. I went, that’s my pole. you will all stand wrapped around the pole. Kevin, you want to show ‘em it?
[Jimmy] So that's it. Kevin, why are you shaking, buddy? Why are these calves shaking over here? Alright. This is gonna be terrible.
Let's start the strength game. Three, two, one… First sneaks to touch the ground are eliminated.
Ok. Everyone is on the poles. And honestly, I think people are already starting to struggle up there. No!
I should've gone smart. I’m Nigerian, I got two degrees! Rel, get up, Rel! I’ll let him focus.
[Tareq] Oh! He fell. Lil Rel! Winning one million dollars for your charities isn't going to be easy. Is this what you thought you’d be doing when you said yes?
No! I never wanted to go on Survivor. I can't do that show. we partnered with Survivor to do an entire episode, I love it and Jeff Probst. I hate you for creating this stunt!
-Yeah. -Picture him, but someone a little taller. Alright, you two are WWE Hall of Famers… We did leg day yesterday, so that's hurting.
We are literally at a point where you’re starting to see people break. Josh is fighting for dear life. I hope we stay in touch after this.
Wait. How are you gonna get out of this position? Do you have any advice for your sister? [Kevin] There you go.
[Kevin] Oh, no! -Are you even struggling? -No. [groaning]
Only two more eliminations remain. Is everyone eating our brand new MrBeast and Jack Link's Beef Sticks? -Can I have another one? -Another Beef Stick? Of course.
Hey, if you want to try them, it’s available at these retailers. Be stronger than the two weakest. Oh, we lost one. No, you were so close!
You guys have to outlast one more person. It's been really nice knowing you. Ah, no!
You're good! The game is over. You're good. All I’m gonna say to all you smarties out there, Everybody wave goodbye. Losers, follow me.
-Thanks, Jimmy. Have fun, bud. -Thanks for coming out. and we're about to eliminate a lot more in a second. Oh, same. There's no more friendship.
You crushed that, too. It was, but I could not have done what you did. I saw the season of Survivor where they had that.
in the money over there while you were doing that. Who do you trust in this game? We're showing up right now.
From Mexico. He's from India. I hope we team up. I'll tell you this. The person that people want out?
I don't care about how any of these people feel about me. Alex's Lemonade Stand, pediatric cancer. There is nothing-- nothing I won't do to win this.
There's nothing better than watching competitions happen, flourish, 'Cause that's when, now you gotta really compete. If you can cheat and get away with it, I think it’s brilliant.
Eventually the friendships turn to… Alright, can I have you guys up front? Before I reveal game three,
Once you have your team of three, just stand in a square. Musicians unite. Can we go in pink? or just, you throw, random people in a cube.
This is just basically, like-- This is the outcast. -I was born in England. -Ok. Obviously, you guys are all really famous musicians.
-Oh, really? -With our minds. We all made eye contact and just said yeah. What would you say the pros of this team is?
Now that everyone has a team, cut the lights! How did you do that? [Kevin] No, Steve-O. Don't-- No, no, no,
It's ok. Here we go. [chuckling] -[CarryMinati] Let's go! -[Steve-O] Yeah!
Everyone! You ready to meet the judges? Our first judge is a global icon. She once hosted a cooking show.
Open the portal! She is a world famous celebrity. What's up, everybody?
Your second judge, an Emmy winning, arguably most famous chef on the planet… I don't know how we landed her. This is crazy.
Stop, stop. Stop it! Oh my gosh! [Kevin] Yes. I told Kevin he could bring whoever he wanted.
You know, he gave me examples like Gordon Ramsay Told him to surprise me. When you told me that, I got offended because you were talking to me,
I'll be the judge. No, jokes aside. You got Gordon Ramsay, right? If I'm here, why am I searching for other names?
I'ma sit behind there, and I'ma eat the food Alright, we have two award-winning professional judges, and then Kevin Hart.
-No, it’s-- -Jimmy. Don't start. Alright. Contestants, each of you have a golden platter. and present it to the judges,
Two teams with the lowest scores will be eliminated. What do you want to make? Um… Oh…
That’s gonna be easiest, gonna be tastiest. While most teams got to work gathering ingredients,
And then I take it off, which is a vibe. [Eugenio Derbez] Ay! Police, police! -You took all the mushrooms? -It’s strategy!
But that really didn't work out for Howie. -Fried chicken sandwiches. -Bruh, what! One of the first things I ever made was her chocolate pizza.
What are we thinking over here? I don't know necessarily that they're gonna go together. Ok. Is it spaghetti and meatballs? Is it--
Beast balls? Ten minutes are gone. You better get cooking. That's my biggest pet peeve.
[blowing nose] Wait, I thought you were making fajitas. Why are you boiling it? -That's not how you do the chicken. -[Eugenio Derbez] No, no--
I'ma get a new chicken, we’re gonna fry it. A chocolate pizza. was a chocolate pizza because of you.
Ok, but what are you doing to that dough? Oh, no, no, no. Howie! Don't! No!
Howie, we can’t sabotage. I don't know if you've tried one of these, but these Jack Link's-- It’s so delicious.
I don't even know if you noticed it, but, yeah, that's our teriyaki beef stick. It turns out to be a MrBeast beef stick! which is why we just launched our brand new MrBeast Jack Link's beef sticks.
100% real beef. It's amazing. Oh my god. It’s a broken heart.
We should probably be plating in the next, like, 2-3 minutes. Oh, dear Jesus. Or should I go more to the side so we can put our sweet there?
I would I would get some of that on there 'cause it looks like a little turdy. Yup, I think we go a little heavier on the sauce. [Ally Brooke] Oh my God!
Yo, what about your drink? Let's go, let's go! Fast, fast! But you're like, well, what's so bad about it really?
Three, two, one. I think we lost. Can we just go through the portal now? They're eating their own food. That's a great sign.
We have before you today an Asian-American fusion chicken sandwich. As well as a fresh cucumber salad for your liking.
[unintelligible] Oh, crunchy! That's hot.
Judges, are you ready to reveal the score? Mine's is an 8. Alright, Orange. Bring it on over.
We're gonna be taking you out of France into Italy. We also have the Giada Burrata. And then also, the spaghetti with Beast balls.
Those are your Beast balls. I'm not getting as much flavor as I want out of the meatball. Is this like a cracker?
Mmm. 6.5, 7… 10? You guys scored a 26.5. They scored a 24.
For our dish what we've done is we've created chicken fajitas This is good. I'm not mad at this. Yay! Let's go!
Bro! Let's go! -Woo! -Let's go! 5, 6, 7, 8.
Whoa! Cold Bolognese on cold pasta that was ready 40 minutes ago. [blowing nose]
-We just want a 10, a 9, and a 9. -There was no sneeze! Did you-- You went with the meat? -[Kevin] Let's do it. -Kevin, try the pasta.
3, 2, 1… Reveal! You guys scored a 22, the lowest score so far. If you do the math, that means they're now eliminated.
What was that? Why’d you leave me out there? They made you make your own taco. Turn the lights red.
Give me the recipe if you can-- No! Man, listen. Hey, man. I didn't mean it. Please man! Let's let me-- Let me finish the show man.
Brace yourself, judges. Yellow team, come on up. known as the Poo Poo Platter.
My grandmother, her name is-- was Melissa Mendel. Her dream in life was to win a cooking contest. she was hit by a bus.
On her deathbed, she said, "Howie, take my recipe." We put an hour into this. Security! Security!
It was supposed to be a chocolate pizza! -One, two, three… -Reveal it. Zero, one, zero…
This is a legendary crash out by Howie. This was the best, see you later. I got to drive him, so I am self eliminating.
-Only I can do that. -Oh, really? No, they did it 'cause I said it. And with that, you are the final eight!
Cut the light! now, only three remain. -Woo! -Yeah, let's go.
you guys will be enemies. It's like Hunger Games. If you guys wanna turn around and look at that wall back there,
the mechanism that we're gonna be using to eliminate all but three of you. Guards, open the wall!
Bring it on in. and it will be on them to decide who is eliminated and who moves on.
will be moving on to the final game and competing for one million dollars. is a phone which you can ask for anything you want.
[Jimmy] Uh… Kevin What do we ask for that's really crazy? Here we go.
Um. Close it. [clears throat] One of us leaves.
Nobody wants to do that, but we have to decide mutually. Yeah. [laughs] So do we wanna do it based on a coin or do we want to play a game?
this is the most brutal thing we filmed in Season 1 and in Season 2, How long, on Season 1 and Season 2, did you have people in the Cube? Took them that long to come up with the decision.
I'll get it for them. Can, uh, we get a masseuse for a second while we think about this? -Darts? -I mean, if we both suck at darts,
Can we get darts, puppies, Connect Four and air hockey? I know how to play air hockey. Jiu jitsu. Your wrestling, grappling.
Let's ask for a clown. Just see what happens. The teams were starting to get creative. How good are you with MMA? Wrestling?
I gotta wrestle him? But as for Brie and Gravy, and without having played any games at all,
You won't do it. [group exclaims] That was good stuff, right?
There was deception involved. How are you two deciding who moves on? And with that, we had our first cube elimination,
and Gravy took the win on their first of three games as well. I think we've decided on rock ‘em sock ’em robots. -Hey, Tareq. -How's it going?
They're the best. Guards! We need MrBeast Jack Link's. and grab my 100% beef MrBeast and Jack Link's Beef Sticks
Very easy. Let's keep moving faster here. This has been so real. Oh wait, you have 53. I have 29.
that meant he needed at least 25 points to win I wanted won at hockey. Puppy would solve this right now.
Right hand green, you guys got it? -Whoa. -Left foot red? Left foot red.
Chain yourself up! or else we’re never gonna talk to you again. Oh my gosh.
to secure their spot into the final game. And deciding the tie breaker for the second spot was this puppy? Ok, so before you put the dog down,
and then let the dog run to the winner. -This is how we’re deciding. -Yeah.
But you know what? I don't even care. 'Cause you are so cute. It's ok. You know what? It was a lot of fun.
it still feels weird to, you know, lock someone handcuffed in a room. there was only one spot left for the one million dollar final game.
But to get a win right here? Alright, so here we have our MMA.
these two decided to put their chances all on the line, for one single round of rock ‘em sock ’em robots. He went in with both fists.
That’s it. Alright. I got-- I knocked out, but I was so close to winning. End of the video bro.
All of the other cubes are done, it's down to this. One of you is gonna make the final three. It all comes down to rock ‘em sock ’em.
Alright… Ready? [slow-mo] Who's gonna win?
Oh my gosh, that was just instant. It's a good game. On you.
We have Steve-O. You guys are here for something bigger than you, for your causes. For this competition, I wanna help people.
They go to places where medical attention isn't, My charity is Noise for Now. How about you over here?
So basically, if kids didn't have a chance to start school, It's an insanely amazing organization. have a cause that is important to you that you're competing for.
But this final game is gonna determine which charity wins one million dollars. Raise the wall, baby.
In front of you… One has a million dollars inside of it. One at a time, you're gonna go up there and pick a briefcase,
Whichever briefcase has a million dollars, your charity will get it. I’m ready. All that matters is which briefcase you have
Are you ready? We'll see you two in a moment. [laughs]
The other two have nothing. -I like the #1. -Okay. You know, I might do three.
Now that you've chosen, go ahead and look inside. But for now, only you will see inside it.
I mean, close it. It's a pet rabbit. Oh, open the wall!
You were second to exit the cubes. You can choose any case you want. You can even steal Audrey's. Close the wall. Sorry, Steve-O.
Very heavy. [sniffing] It smells like money.
Just wondering where the cameras are aimed. Yeah. Alright, fair. I did like the idea of three, but…
Ok. It's on you. Let's see if we can read his face.
But now that you know what's in there, if yours is empty, And you both can tell Steve-O whatever you want. Open the wall!
Steve-O, Steve-O, Steve-O. Boy, do we have some fun for you? You can steal her briefcase, thus forcing her to take #2, Or you can just pick #2.
because this million dollars is on the line. I knew that Audrey was gonna be difficult to read. She is a deadpan individual.
Basically, is your integrity more important to you or less important to you They're equally important to me.
Ok. Alright. You got the money? [laughing] And is he saying that because he does and he doesn't want you to steal it?
Or is he saying it because he thinks that's what he'd say if he did have it? even though he doesn't have it. I mean, the not maintaining eye contact.
made me feel like he might have it. I think he might have it. Perhaps?
Mhm. I think you're gonna get more out of Gravy than her. Yeah, I'm leaning heavily towards stealing her's.
Excited. When you looked inside this briefcase, was it a piece of paper that indicated whether or not it was the million bucks?
When I looked in the briefcase, I saw a pet rabbit. Alright, you know what? I'm going with my first instinct. I'm locking it in.
That means this is yours. Open your briefcase!
He stole it! He caught you! You gave it away! Yeah, you did it!
Doctors Without Borders. to your charity and your charity as well. And now, I literally right now have to go give away five million dollars.
