Announcer: Last time on "don't forget the lyrics!",
We met rhiannon...
Niecy nash: Step right up!
Announcer: A fitness coach
Who barely muscled her way through the first song.
♪ and I just can't believe my first ♪
Announcer: Her game never seemed to get stronger.
Rhiannon hansen: Wow.
Announcer: But...
Rhiannon hansen: I'm going to go rogue.
Announcer: By using all her backups,
(allie cheers)
She clawed her way up the money ladder.
Rhiannon hansen: Yeah! (laughs)
Niecy nash: $25,000!
Announcer: And now...
♪ lucky there's a man who positively can do ♪
♪ all the things that make you laugh and cry ♪
Announcer: One word from the "family guy" theme...
Rhiannon hansen: Us...
Announcer: Has brought her game to a screeching halt.
Rhiannon hansen: I think it's you.
Announcer: Will she lock in the answer
That makes her laugh...
Rhiannon hansen: Us, you.
Announcer: Or cry?
Rhiannon hansen: You.
No, us.
Announcer: Find out...
Niecy nash: Do you want to lock in those lyrics?

Niecy nash: Welcome to "don't forget the lyrics!".
At the end of the last show, we left our rockstar hanging,
So let's get back in the game.
(audience cheers)
I am here with rhiannon,
Who so far has banked $25,000 guaranteed.
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: All right, "family guy" said,
"lucky there's a man who positively can do all the".
You said, "things that make us laugh and cry".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Rhiannon hansen: Ok.
♪ lucky there's a man who positively can do ♪
♪ all the things that make us laugh and cry ♪
♪ things that make you laugh and cry ♪
It's the second guessing of the us versus you,
Those little words.
I know I just have to decide.
Us.
Niecy nash: Do you want to lock in these lyrics?
Rhiannon hansen: Yes, niecy,
I'm going to lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: All right, rhiannon.
This answer is worth $50,000.
Rhiannon hansen: Oh, my gosh.
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct words
For the first three words.
Rhiannon hansen: We're going to do that, ok.
(drum roll)
(audience cheers)
Ok.
Ooh.
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct answer
For the last three words.
Rhiannon hansen: We're doing it, ok.
(drum roll)
(audience cheers)
Hmm-mmm.
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: All right, for $50,000, is it...
Rhiannon hansen: Oh, my god.
Niecy nash: Is it "things that make us laugh and cry"?
(drum roll)
Rhiannon hansen: Oh, man.
Allie: Come on. Come on.
Rhiannon hansen: Oh, man.
Niecy nash: Oh! (audience cheers)
Rhiannon!
You banked $50,000!
Allie: Yeah!
Niecy nash: There are just four categories left
To the million dollar song,
But girlfriend, you have no backups left, all right?
Let's keep this thing moving.
This next song is worth $75,000!
(audience cheers)
Rhiannon hansen: Wow, wow.
Niecy nash: Let's see what is going to get you there.
You have queen, super bowl performers, r&b, and soft rock.
(audience shouts)
Rhiannon hansen: I am going to go
With super bowl performers
'cause I'm really nervous about it.
Niecy nash: Going rogue again.
Rhiannon hansen: Yeah, going rogue has worked for me.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"hips don't lie" by shakira featuring wyclef jean,
Or "that's what I like" by bruno mars.
Rhiannon hansen: These are two very good songs.
I'm going to go with "hips don't lie".
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
Rhiannon hansen: Ok.
Niecy nash: For this song,
I am looking for seven missing words.
Rhiannon hansen: Ok.
Niecy nash: And the song is going to start
At the first verse.
Rhiannon hansen: Ok. Niecy nash: All right?
Rhiannon hansen: Let's do it.
Niecy nash: Ricci, let's do it.
(audience cheers)
("hips don't lie" by shakira featuring wyclef jean)

(rhiannon hums)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Shakira featuring wyclef jean said,
"all the attraction, the tension".
You said, "mumumumumumumumumumumu perfection".
Rhiannon hansen: Yes.
Niecy nash: Ok.
♪ (mumbles) it's perfection ♪
Niecy nash: Is there anything you'd like to see up there?
♪ all the attraction, the tension ♪
♪ (mumbles) it's perfection ♪
Rhiannon hansen: Honestly, I don't know this part.
It's not coming back in my head.
Niecy nash: Ok, so let's talk about
What your options are here.
Rhiannon hansen: Ok.
Niecy nash: You can either come up with some lyrics
That you think are correct and lock them in.
If you are right, you will bank $75,000.
All right? (audience cheers)
If you are wrong, you will drop all the way down to $25,000.
Or you can gracefully bow out
With the $50,000 you already have.
Rhiannon hansen: Yeah.
Niecy nash: What would you like to do?
Rhiannon hansen: Wow.
This has truly been the experience of a lifetime.
And to go from watching it in my kitchen,
Just screaming lyrics at people,
To being on this stage, meeting you,
I couldn't have asked for a better experience, so
Niecy, I'm going to gracefully bow out.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: Ok.
Allie: Whoo!
Niecy nash: You are going home with $50,000!
(audience cheers)
Let's take a look
And see what the correct answer is for this line.
Rhiannon hansen: Ok.
Niecy nash: Don't you see, baby, this is perfection.
Rhiannon hansen: I feel pretty proud of myself
For getting perfection, so. (laughs)
Niecy nash: All right.
Well, you made the right decision to bow out.
You're going home with 50,000 bucks.
Let's hear it for rhiannon! (audience cheers)
Thank you so much then. (upbeat music)
Hopefully, our next rockstar can take home even more money.
Let's find out right now.
She's a social media manager
Who's also an aspiring birth doula.
From west orange, new jersey,
Give it up for yasmin sophia carden.
(upbeat music)
Hey!
Yasmin sophia carden: Hey, hey, hey, hey! (laughs)
Hi!
Hi, niecy.
Niecy nash: Hello, yasmin, and welcome.
First of all,
Love the flower in your hair.
Yasmin sophia carden: Thank you so much.
You know, it is an homage
To the icon herself standing next to me.
Ok? Niecy nash: Y'all know
I used to wear a flower in my hair
All the time. Yasmin sophia carden: Yes.
Niecy nash: So thank you, I love it!
Yasmin sophia carden: Thank you.
Niecy nash: Ok, so talk to me.
Birth doula.
For people who don't know what that is, break it down.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah, so a birth doula
Is a support person for mothers
At all stages of pregnancy and birth.
And it's something I want to continue to do
And become a full spectrum doula.
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: I love that.
How did you get into this?
Yasmin sophia carden: A couple years ago,
I was living in new york city, grinding away,
And my body just kind of started shutting down
From the exhaustion.
And I moved back home to jersey with my grandparents,
Get back into the things
That really are the core of who I am.
And birth doula work is in that realm.
Niecy nash: Got it, ok.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
(audience cheers) carolina: Whoo!
Niecy nash: And talk to me about your grandparents.
You went back there.
Yasmin sophia carden: So they are
The most special people to me.
I actually brought a picture!
That's us... Niecy nash: Oh,
Look at you!
Yasmin sophia carden: Just a couple years ago.
They are both artists,
And they're actually both named jan,
My grandma, janice, my grandpa, jan.
So I call them the grand jans.
And yeah... Niecy nash: The grand jans.
Yasmin sophia carden: Those are the grand jans.
Niecy nash: I got a little something for you
From the grand jans.
Take a look. Yasmin sophia carden: Oh.
Jan: Hey, we're the grand jans.
Janice: And we are the very proud grandparents of yasmin...
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh.
Janice: Who is one of the hardest working,
Most talented people we know.
We want to wish her...
Both: Good luck on "don't forget the lyrics!".
Yasmin sophia carden: Wow!
(audience cheers)
Wow, that is really special.
Y'all trying to make me cry early on in the game, huh?
Niecy nash: Ok, dry your tears, dry your tears.
Yasmin sophia carden: You're trying
To get those tears out.
Niecy nash: Don't cry just yet.
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, man!
Niecy nash: All right, yasmin, let's get you some money.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
I'm going to give you $1 million.
(audience cheers)
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo, let's do it!
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your categories tonight.
And they are
Stadium anthems, yacht rock,
2010s, disco, janet jackson, karaoke classics,
Pop, wedding songs and country.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok, wow.
Niecy nash: Now, the first song is going to be worth $2,500
And the money keeps growing
Right up to the million dollar song.
(audience cheers) and if you make it to $25,000,
That money is guaranteed.
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo!
Lock it in!
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Yasmin,
Which category do you want to play for first?
Yasmin sophia carden: I think I'm going to start off
With something that I'm really confident with
Just to get me on that board.
Let's go with wedding songs.
Niecy nash: Wedding songs?
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah!
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: "you're the first, the last, my everything"
By barry white,
Or "you are the best thing" by ray lamontagne.
Yasmin sophia carden: Well, I definitely think
Barry white's going to be a little bit more familiar to me
'cause my grandpa has this huge collection of lps
That I would always listen to.
So let's go with
"you're the first, the last, my everything".
(audience cheers) niecy nash: Ok.
For this song, yasmin, I am looking for four missing words,
And we'll start the song from the top.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricci, you know what to do.
("you're the first, the last, my everything" by barry white)
♪ the first ♪
♪ the last ♪
♪ my everything ♪
♪ and the answer to ♪
♪ all my dreams ♪
♪ you're my sun ♪
♪ my moon ♪
♪ my guiding star ♪
♪ my kind of wonderful ♪
♪ you're gold so far ♪
(audience applauds)
Niecy nash: All right.
Barry white said, "my kind of wonderful".
You said, "you're gold so far".
How you feeling about that?
Yasmin sophia carden: Those are profound words
But I don't know if those are the right ones.
I don't know.
(upbeat music) (audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics!".
I'm here with yasmin who just sang
"you're the first, the last, my everything".
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm.
Niecy nash: Barry white said, "my kind of wonderful".
You said, "you're gold so far".
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok, I'm thinking
That's not what the lyrics are but...
Niecy nash: Ok, well, let me talk to you
About some options, all right?
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah, yeah.
Niecy nash: You have two backup options.
Your first option is your backup singer.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes.
Niecy nash: Who did you bring with you today?
Yasmin sophia carden: That is my carolina.
She is my ride or die.
We've just had so many adventures together,
And like, she's like a human radio.
She knows music.
She knows music!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
Well, carolina can help you out with one answer
But only for one song.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Or you have five backup words.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes.
Niecy nash: If you are unsure about a word,
Just tell us which one it is
And we will give you the correct answer.
Now, you can use all five words at once,
Or you can spread 'em out across the game.
Yasmin sophia carden: Right, ok.
I'm definitely going to use a word for this one.
I think I would like to see the last word, niecy, please.
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct word for line four.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
All right, that's getting me a little bit closer.
You know what?
I want to get on this board,
So I'm going to go for another backup.
I'm going to use word number one, please.
Ok.
Now I'm getting into lyrics here, what it could be.
My kind of wonderful, I mean, that's what you are
Definitely sounds like it fits in there.
Niecy nash: Let's put that on the board
And see how you feel about it.
♪ my kind of wonderful, that's what you are ♪
Yasmin sophia carden: That sounds very,
Like barry romantic.
Niecy nash: So what are you thinking?
Yasmin sophia carden: Niecy,
I think we're going to have to go for it.
Lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics.
If you are correct, the entire line will turn green.
If any word is wrong, they'll turn red and the game is over.
So for $2,500,
Is it "that's what you are"?
(drum roll)
Yasmin sophia carden: Ooh!
Niecy nash: There you go!
You banked $2,500,
And you're on your way to the million dollar song.
Let's try and double it right now.
This next song is worth $5,000!
(audience cheers) all right.
Which category would you like to play for next?
Yasmin sophia carden: Well, you know, niecy,
I was planning on saving pop, but now I kind of
Want to get something that is strong in my mind, you know?
I'm a pop girly.
I'm the early 2000s kid.
So I think I'm going to go with pop for my next category.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
Pop it is.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"can't fight the moonlight" by leann rimes
Or "careless whisper", wham! Featuring george michael.
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, man.
"careless whisper" just floats through my head.
Like, it's like a fever dream, that song.
Niecy nash: Tell me about it, girl.
Listen, let me take you back. (yasmin laughs)
High school gym.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes.
Niecy nash: I was in there.
I had on my michael jackson sweatshirt.
(yasmin laughs)
I had on my jeans with the zipper on the ankle.
Come on, somebody!
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah, all right!
Niecy nash: I was slow dancing with this guy.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ugh.
Niecy nash: And I didn't realize that my hair
Just had completely turned into a mess.
So when them lights came back on,
That boy looked at me and he looked at my head
And said, "what is happening here?"
(yasmin laughs)
And that song was playing.
Nonetheless, one of my favorite songs.
Enough about me. Yasmin sophia carden: Oh.
(yasmin laughs) niecy nash: Ok.
Do you know "can't fight the moonlight"?
Yasmin sophia carden: "can't fight the moonlight"
I'm not too familiar with.
Leann rimes is iconic and I love her music,
But I don't know that one that well.
So let's go with "careless whisper".
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
I am not mad at that.
(yasmin laughs)
So for this song, I am going to need four missing words,
And we'll start the song at the first chorus.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricci, she's ready.
Yasmin sophia carden: Here we go.
("careless whisper" wham! Ft. George michael)
♪ I'm never going to dance again ♪
♪ guilty feet have got no rhythm ♪
♪ though it's easy to pretend ♪
♪ I know you're not a fool ♪
♪ should've known better than to cheat a friend ♪
♪ and waste the chance that I'd been given ♪
♪ so I'm never going to dance again ♪
♪ the way I danced with you ♪
(audience cheers)
Hmm, hmm.
Niecy nash: All right.
Wham! Said, "so I'm never going to dance again the way".
You said, "I danced with you".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Yasmin sophia carden: You know, it's making sense to me.
Niecy nash: Mm-hmm.
Yasmin sophia carden: It's kind of coming into my mind.
You know, I can hear the melody of it.
But I want to make sure the words are right.
I'm thinking I might double check on the second word, niecy
With one of my backups.
Niecy nash: Ok, you want to use it on the second line.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes, please.
Whoo!
(audience cheers)
Ok, that makes me feel better.
That gives me peace of mind.
Niecy nash: Feeling more confident?
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm feeling more confident, niecy,
And I want to do you proud, so I'm going to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics.
For $5,000,
Is it "I danced with you"?
(drum roll)
(audience cheers) oh!
Yasmin sophia carden: Ah, all right!
Niecy nash: That is $5,000.
Only eight songs left to the million.
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo, all right!
Niecy nash: Now, let's try and double that money again.
This time we're playing for $10,000!
(audience cheers)
All right, yasmin.
Let's pick your category.
Yasmin sophia carden: Wow.
Oh, man.
You know, I've been doing a lot of karaoke
Prepping for this show.
Country is something that's special to me
Because it kind of feels like home.
Oh, I think I'm going to try karaoke classics though.
(audience cheers) I'm going to go for it.
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look and see what your two song choices are.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: The "theme from new york, new york"
By frank sinatra.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: Or "you oughta know"
By alanis morissette. Yasmin sophia carden: Oh.
Two bangers!
I mean, "new york. New york", that is in my heart,
But "you oughta know", it's such a good one.
Ugh!
I think I'm going to bring out some of my fierce side right now
And go with alanis morissette, "you oughta know".
(audience cheers) niecy nash: Ok.
All right, for this song,
I am going to need five missing words.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song
Before the first chorus.
Yasmin sophia carden: Sounds good.
Niecy nash: All right.
Ricci, you know what to do.
Ricci: Let's go.
(audience cheers)

Niecy nash: I don't know where that power came from.
Yasmin sophia carden: It just came.
It just came from me.
I don't know.
Niecy nash: Wow, all right.
Let's take a look.
Alanis said, "to deny me of the cross I bear".
You said, "that you gave to me".
Are you confident about this answer?
Yasmin sophia carden: I don't know.
I think I have to be.
I don't want to use up all my backups,
And I don't want to second guess myself.
♪ to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me ♪
She has that, you know, that little flare.
♪ gave to me ♪
(niecy laughs) that's how I'm remembering it.
That's how I'm remembering it.
(sighs) I think I'm confident about this, niecy.
And lock in those lyrics, whoo!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics.
Yasmin sophia carden: I did, I did.
Niecy nash: For $10,000,
Is it "that you gave to me"?
(drum roll)
(audience cheers) oh!
You trusted yourself.
Yasmin sophia carden: I did.
Niecy nash: And you got it right.
You just made $10,000.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes!
Niecy nash: Only seven songs left to the $1 million.
Yasmin sophia carden: I am ready!
Niecy nash: Yasmin is going to try
And take that money when we come back
Right here on "don't forget the lyrics!".
(upbeat music)
(audience cheers)
Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics!".
Yasmin summoned every ounce of her fierceness
And banked $10,000.
(audience cheers)
She still has her backup singer, carolina,
And two words left if she needs them.
Now we want to get her to the million dollar song,
But the game is about to get harder.
There are six categories left.
This next song is worth $25,000, and it's guaranteed!
(audience cheers)
You just got to get it right.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok!
Niecy nash: So talk to me, yasmin.
What would you do with $25,000?
Yasmin sophia carden: I live at home
With my grandparents.
And my grandma jan, this tough lady,
Just had a stay in the hospital.
So, you know, she needs some time to heal.
And I'm one of the people who's kind of designated
To make sure she's taken care of,
And these resources will absolutely help me to do that, so.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: I love that.
I love that.
Which category is going to allow you
To be able to take care of the jans?
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo!
Niecy nash: You still have left stadium anthems,
Yacht rock, 2010s, disco, janet jackson, and country.
Yasmin sophia carden: You know, the 2010s,
It's taking me back to listening to music
With my dad in the basement.
So you know what I think?
I'm going to ease in with 2010s.
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"everybody talks" by neon trees.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Or "no" by meghan trainor.
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm.
Neon trees!
That was just playing all the time on the radio.
I can see myself in the car driving,
Listening to that on repeat.
It was on every radio station.
So that's probably going to be a little bit more in my mind.
Let's go with "everybody talks".
(audience cheers) niecy nash: Ok.
This is for $25,000
Guaranteed, and I'm going to need six missing words.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: We'll start the song from the top.
Yasmin sophia carden: Let's do it.
Niecy nash: Ricci, let's do it.
(audience cheers)

Niecy nash: All right, yasmin, let's take a look.
Neon tree said, "I can hear the chitchat".
You said, "take it to your last day".
How are you feeling about this?
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm.
I am not feeling like those are the words.
I mean, I can hear the melody.
♪ I can hear the chitchat ♪
♪ (mumbles) ♪
I'm going to have to pull some words out of my brain here.
You know what?
I think I might have to use a backup
Just to get me into the flow of this.
Niecy nash: Ok, so would you like to use a word,
Or would you like to use your backup singer?
Yasmin sophia carden: (sighs) you know what?
Let's go with a word
Just to see what I can try to come up with myself.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Which word would you like us to reveal?
Yasmin sophia carden: Word number six, please.
Ok.
Ok, this is jogging my memory a little bit.
♪ I can hear the chitchat ♪
♪ take me to your love shack ♪
Can I see that up there, niecy?
Niecy nash: You sure can.
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm feeling better.
Niecy nash: Feeling confident?
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm feeling better about it
But I really want to get to that guaranteed 25. (sighs)
Niecy nash: Well, you still have another word left.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes, yes.
I think I'd like to see another word, niecy.
Niecy nash: Which line?
Yasmin sophia carden: Can I see word number five, please?
Ok.
Niecy nash: Are you feeling more confident now?
Yasmin sophia carden: You know what?
I just have to go for it.
There's no turning back here.
Lock in those lyrics, niecy!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics, yasmin.
For $25,000
Guaranteed and a chance to take care of the jans,
Is it "take me to your love shack"?
(drum roll)
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, yeah!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: Oh!
You did it!
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo!
(carolina screams) niecy nash: You did it!
(yasmin laughs)
That is $25,000 guaranteed,
And it is yours no matter what happens in the game.
Yasmin sophia carden: I love that.
Thank you, thank you! Niecy nash: All right?
You are only six songs away from $1 million.
And next, we're going to give you a chance
To double your money again to $50,000!
(audience cheers)
Let's get you that money, honey.
What is your next category going to be?
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, man.
Well, I'm feeling good with disco.
Disco is like my jam, you know?
I'm kind of feeling drawn to that right now.
I think I'm going to go with disco.
Niecy nash: You're going to go with disco?
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm going to go with disco!
I'ma jam it out!
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: "it's raining men" by the weather girls.
Yasmin sophia carden: Hey. (laughs)
Niecy nash: Or "shining star" by earth, wind & fire.
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, man.
I think I'm going to go with "shining star"
By earth, wind & fire.
(audience cheers) (yasmin laughs)
Niecy nash: There it is.
All right.
For $50,000...
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Niecy nash: I am going to need eight missing words.
We going to take it from the top.
Yasmin sophia carden: All right.
Niecy nash: Ricci?

Yasmin sophia carden: Oh! (audience cheers)
Niecy nash: All right!
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo!
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Yasmin sophia carden: All right.
Niecy nash: Earth, wind & fire said,
"no matter who you are shining".
You said, "bright to see what you could truly be".
How are you feeling about that?
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm feeling good.
You know, it just rolled off the tongue.
It makes sense there.
I don't want to question "what",
But I'm thinking "who" could also fit there.
♪ no matter who you are ♪
♪ shining bright to see ♪
It's feeling like...
I think we just have to lock in those lyrics, niecy.
Lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
You were worried about the word "what".
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes.
Niecy nash: Let's reveal everything except the word "what"...
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, you're going to keep me waiting.
Niecy nash: And see if it's right. Carolina: Oh no.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Yasmin sophia carden: Let's see.
Uh-oh.
Carolina: Oh, god.
(drum roll)
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Well, so far so good.
Yasmin sophia carden: So far.
Niecy nash: Listen, you locked in those lyrics.
Yasmin sophia carden: I did, I did.
Niecy nash: For $50,000,
Is it "bright to see what you could truly be"?
(drum roll)
(audience cheers)
Carolina: Yes, oh, my god!
Niecy nash: You just banked $50,000!
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, my god!
I'm in awe!
I mean, wow, that's a lot of money.
Niecy nash: Do you know what's better than $50,000?
Yasmin sophia carden: What's better, niecy?
Niecy nash: $75,000!
Yasmin sophia carden: Come on!
Niecy nash: Yasmin is going for it next
On "don't forget the lyrics!".
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo!
(upbeat music)
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Welcome back.
I'm here with shining star yasmin, who has hit her groove
And just banked $50,000!
(audience cheers)
There are just four categories left
To the million dollar song, so let's keep it moving
Because this next song is worth $75,000!
(audience cheers)
Yasmin sophia carden: Whoo!
Niecy nash: Yasmin, how are you feeling right now?
Yasmin sophia carden: I mean, $50,000,
That is life-changing money to me.
And I'm feeling just overwhelming gratitude
To be able to do this and to make my family proud.
I talk a lot about my grandparents' side,
But I would also really love to make my mom proud.
She's a fierce puerto rican woman,
And that's where I get my fierce side from.
And I want to bring it out.
I'm trying to channel her right now. (laughs)
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
Well, let's pick a category
That's going to bring it right out of you.
What do you want to play for next?
You still have left stadium anthems, yacht rock,
Janet jackson, and country.
Yasmin sophia carden: You know what?
If we're going to ride this wave of energy,
I think we got to go big with a stadium anthem.
Niecy nash: All right, stadium anthems.
Yasmin sophia carden: Let's go with stadium anthems.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: "sweet caroline" by neil diamond,
Or "another one bites the dust" by queen.
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm.
Niecy nash: Do you know either of these songs?
Yasmin sophia carden: I am familiar
With both of these songs.
I mean, "sweet caroline" kind of seems like,
I have my sweet carolina here.
That's just, that seems like such a very easy road
To go down. Carolina: Oh.
Yasmin sophia carden: But "another one bites the dust"
Is so fierce and so fun.
Hmm, I think we're going to, I think let's go "sweet caroline",
Neil diamond. Niecy nash: Yeah?
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
For this song, I am looking for six missing words.
Yasmin sophia carden: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start it from the top.
Yasmin sophia carden: All right,
Let's do it! Niecy nash: All right.
Let's hit it, ricci.

Yasmin sophia carden: That's what's coming out.
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Ok.
Neil diamond said,
"touching me, touching you, sweet caroline".
You said, "good times never seemed so good".
Are you certain about this answer?
Yasmin sophia carden: Am I certain about this answer?
I don't want to second guess myself but...
♪ touching me, touching you ♪
♪ sweet caroline, good times never feels ♪
No, it wouldn't be "feels so good".
♪ good times never seemed so good ♪
Oh.
Niecy nash: You still have your backup singer
If you need her.
Yasmin sophia carden: I do, I do have her.
Niecy nash: What would you like to do?
Yasmin sophia carden: Um...
(upbeat music) (audience cheers)
Niecy nash: Welcome back!
We're here with yasmin, who so far has banked $50,000!
(audience cheers)
There are just four categories left
To the million dollar song.
Right now, we are playing for $75,000!
(audience cheers)
All right.
What would you like to do?
Yasmin sophia carden: I think it's just natural
To bring up carolina for this song
Just to make sure I have all of the lyrics right.
Niecy nash: You want to bring up your backup.
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm going to bring her up.
Niecy nash: All right.
Carolina, come on up.
Carolina: I'm up!
Yay!
Yasmin sophia carden: Hey!
Carolina: Hello!
Hi, niecy.
Niecy nash: First of all, carolina, I love your outfit.
Carolina: (gasps) thank you.
Niecy nash: Yes, very, very sparkly.
So now, let me ask you, do you know this song?
Carolina: Of course!
Anyone with ears and has been to a wedding knows this song.
(yasmin laughs)
Niecy nash: Ah, ok.
Well, do you think she's gotten it right so far?
Carolina: I think your instinct was right.
♪ good times never seemed so good ♪
I feel like that's the vibe.
Niecy nash: Why don't you guys
Sing it together? Carolina: I think...
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah, let's do it!
Carolina: That sounds like an amazing idea.
Let's singther.
Niecy nash: All right, let's do it.
Ricci, you know what to do.
Yasmin sophia carden: Here we go.

♪ touchin' hands ♪

Niecy nash: Listen.
This was the duo I didn't know I needed.
All right, let's take a look.
Neil diamond said, "touching me, touching you.
Sweet caroline", "good times never seemed so good".
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Are you both feeling good about it?
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm feeling good about this.
Carolina: Yes.
Honestly, the first gut, your gut instinct...
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Carolina: I think that's the move.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Yasmin sophia carden: Niecy,
I want to lock in those lyrics!
Carolina: Whoo! (audience cheers)
Niecy nash: You and carolina pieced it together...
Yasmin sophia carden: We did.
Niecy nash: And locked in those lyrics.
For $75,000,
Is it "good times never seemed so good"?
(drum roll)
Carolina: Please.
Yes! (audience cheers)
Yeah!
Niecy nash: That is $75,000!
Yasmin sophia carden: Wow, wow!
Niecy nash: How are you feeling?
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, I'm overwhelmed.
I mean, carolina, thank you so much.
She really has just been such a rock for me.
And we got through, we did it!
Carolina: It's why we came.
Niecy nash: Carolina, you have tears in your eyes.
Why are you crying?
Carolina: Oh, I just love this woman.
And this is why I came, to support her,
And I got to do that.
So I'm so happy. Niecy nash: All right.
(audience cheers)
Thank you so much.
You can step right over there.
Yasmin, how would $100,000 change your life?
Yasmin sophia carden: Niecy, it would bring me
So much space to be able to fulfill that dream
Of being a full spectrum doula.
I want to be able to continue this journey of supporting women
And this money is going to help me to fulfill that dream.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: All right.
I like it.
Carolina: Yay!
Niecy nash: So which category,
Yacht rock, janet jackson, or country, is calling your name?
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm.
Yacht rock is the one I've been avoiding the whole game.
That one's a little bit intimidating to me.
I'm still wanting to save janet.
I think I'm going to go for it and just dive into country.
(audience cheers) carolina: Yeah!
Niecy nash: I did not see that coming.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"fancy like" by walker hayes,
Or "I like it, I love it" by tim mcgraw.
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm, ok.
Niecy nash: Now, were either of these songs
Playing in your youth?
Yasmin sophia carden: Hmm.
I have to say no.
But tim mcgraw is someone that's throughout the radio waves,
So I'm going to go for "I like it, I love it".
(audience cheers) carolina: You got this.
You got this!
Niecy nash: For this song,
I'm going to need six missing words,
And we'll take it from the top.
Yasmin sophia carden: Let's do it.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricci.
Ricci: Let's go.
Niecy nash: Give her good vibes, you all.
Carolina: Come on, yas!
Come on, yas!

Niecy nash: Welcome back.
Yasmin just sang "I like it, I love it" by tim mcgraw.
She's out of backups, but we still got some work to do.
Yasmin sophia carden: Oh, man, niecy.
Niecy nash: All right.
(yasmin laughs)
Tim mcgraw said, "but I like it. I love it".
You said, "I really want to love it".
Yasmin sophia carden: (laughs) I think that's just
My inner monologue coming out.
(carolina laughs) niecy nash: All right.
Do you want to try to fill in this line and...
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah.
Niecy nash: See if it's getting you somewhere?
Yasmin sophia carden: But I like it, I love it.
I want to give you lovin'?
Can I see that on the board?
Yeah.

I'm going to give you something.
I'm not feeling good about this one, niecy.
Niecy nash: Not feeling good about it, ok.
Yasmin sophia carden: I'm not.
You know, I don't want to risk that money
That I feel like I've,
I worked hard to get there and I don't want to,
I don't want to drop back down. (audience cheers)
Niecy, I think I'm going to have to bow out of the game.
(audience cheers) niecy nash: Ok.
Ok.
You are leaving here with $75,000!
(audience cheers)
Carolina, do you know this song?
Carolina: No.
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: All right, let's reveal the correct answer.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yeah, "I want some more of it".
Niecy nash: "I want some more of it".
You made the right decision to bow out.
Yasmin, you're going home with $75,000.
Yasmin sophia carden: Yes.
Niecy nash: Let's hear it for yasmin.
(upbeat music) (audience cheers)
Next time, more singers, more songs, more missing words,
And $1 million right here on "don't forget the lyrics!".
Goodnight.
(upbeat music continues)
