my man, Jimmy Fallon.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo! - Whoo!
You look great, baby. - You look--love the outfit.

Oh, no!
Thank you, hello!
How are you?
- You missed me, hi!

[overlapping chatter]
- Whoo!
Whoo!
- Hello, how are you? - This is going to be
a fun game.
Now, Jimmy,
who's the lovely lady you're playing with tonight?
- This is my partner, Veronica, from Los Angeles.
- All right.
- And guess what.
She was on "Password Plus" 40 years ago and is a winner.
That's what I'm talking about, it's all full circle!
- Full circle! - Talk to me about it.
Who did you play with?
- I got to play with Betty White.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Wait, wait, wait, it gets better.
And Mary Tyler Moore.
- Oh!
- I know, right?
- Oh, my Gosh.
- It was unbelievable.
- Was Allen Ludden the host?
- Allen Ludden was the host.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Iconic, it was iconic.
- Now Martin, who are you playing with tonight?
- This is Sandy.
- Sandy. - Whoo!
- From Washington, DC,
and she was on "Password" back in the '80s.
- Wait a minute. - Back in the '80s
on "Password". - In the '80s.
- This is a reunion tour.
- And who were you on with?
- I was on with Emma Samms from "Dynasty",
Ron Masak from "Murder She Wrote".
- "Murder She Wrote". - And Dee Wallace Stone,
the mom in "ET", and Tom Poston from "Newhart".
- Oh, wow. - Whoa!
- That's very exciting.
Well, I think we're going to win today.
- Yes! - Uh, no.
- Oh! - Whoa! Ha ha ha ha.
That's exactly right, yeah.
- Boom! - You guys got some "Password"
veterans here, and we thank you both
so much for being here.
And we're all excited because
we're all here to play...
all: "Password"!
[cheers and applause] - The rules are simple.
I'll hand two of you a password
and then you'll give one word clue, one single word clue,
to get your partner to guess the password.
The password is worth 6 points
if you can get it right on the first clue.
5 points on the second, and so on and so on.
- Yes. - The first team to 15 points
wins game one in the best out of three battles.
So y'all ready to play?
- Let's play! - Let's jump on in.
Jimmy, Martin is very fired up.
I think you really got to watch out.
- Yeah, I do, right? - You do.
- Yes. - All right, Jimmy.
You get to decide if you want to play or if you want to pass.
- The password is itchy.
- I'm going to play.
- Oh, he's going to play.
A lot of eye contact going on.
- Scratchy.
- Itchy.
[bell chimes] Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
All right, all right, all right.
- I don't like this game!
- Veronica coming in hot, girlfriend.
Now, Sandy, you get to go first if you want,
if you want to play or if you want to pass.
- The password is popsicle.
[audience groans]
- I will pass.
- Oh, she says she's passing.
Sandy's passing.
- Frozen.
- Statue.
[audience groans]
- That's not the password.
We're going back to you, Sandy.
Playing for 5 points.
- Treat.
- Popsicle.
- Yes! Yes!
- A standing ova--a standing ovation for popsicles.
[overlapping chatter]
- Thank you! - Oh, big deal.
Oh, big deal!
No, it's not over--the game's not over!
- It isn't? - No, the game's not over.
You can't do a speech, the game's not over.
- Wow, that felt good!
- It does feel good. - And, you know--
I it just clicked it with you.
I mean, we're a team. - You nailed it.
We're moving good, we're moving good.
- All right, okay. - Martin.
- Yes, thank you.
- Now, Martin, you get to go first.
Do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is wicked.
- This is a good one.
- I'm going to pass.
- That means we're coming back to you, Jimmy.
- Ready? - Okay.
- Witch.
- Nasty.
- That's not the password.
Going back to you, Martin.
- Broadway.
- Wicked!
Whoo!
- Got it, you got it. - Whoo, whoo!
- Jimmy, he's in it.
- I know, I'm a little upset. Yeah, we got this.
- Hey, Jimmy, you know what I just realized?
- What's that? - Oh, it's so weird.
Your team's losing.
- All right. [laughter]
- Ooh!
He's smack talking now.
- Okay, let's go.
- Veronica, it's on you.
Do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is cricket.
- I trust you. - I'm going to pass.
- I trust you, yeah. - She passed it to you, Sandy.
This could be for the game.
You're at 10 points.
If you get this, you got the round.
- Okay. Oh, Jimmy's giving me
the stare down! - Remember.
I've won many Emmys and a Tony.
- Okay.
[cheers and applause]
Yes! - Thank you!
- Yes! - Thanks for remembering!
Thank you!
I love you like family.
- That's his third standing ovation.
You haven't even finished the first round.
- Yes.
- Locusts.
- Yeah.
Well, you always have that Tony to fall back on.
[laughter]
- Locusts, um...
cicada?
- Oh. - It's not the password.
Back to you, Veronica.
The first clue was locusts.
- Nighttime.
- Crickets. - Yeah!
Whoo-hoo-hoo! - That's a hard one.
- Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Oh, my goodness, thank you!
- Let me tell you something, though.
- What?
- I mean, it's great that you got crickets,
but I think it should be a bonus
if someone can do a cricket like this.
[imitates cricket chirping]
[audience gasps]
[cheers and applause]
Thank you! Thank you!
- He knows the sound of crickets
if you've ever seen his stand-up show.
- Oh, my God! [audience gasps]
That's so hurtful!
- It's tight, it's a tight score.
We got 11 to 10.
Veronica, you're now in the lead.
You stole the lead.
- Whew. - Yes.
That's how you play. - That's it.
Go hard or don't play. - All right.
This is for you, Martin.
And Martin, my man, you get to start us out.
You want to play or you want to pass?
- The password is saddle.
- Um...
I'm going to go second.
Pass.
- Pass. [laughter, chatter]
- Jimmy, you could win it here with Veronica.
- Aw, I hope he doesn't.
[laughter]
- Horse.
- Gala.
- Ooh, that's not the password.
Going back to you, Martin.
This is for the game.
- Seat.
- Saddle.
Whoo!
- That's it, you won the round!
You got it, Sandy! - Whoo!
- That's the end of the first round,
where Sandy has a 1-0 lead.
Stick around, we'll be right back with more "Password".
- Oh, my God, I was nominated for a SAG Award.
- You just remembered that now?
- I'm an icon. That's so weird.
.
[laughter]
- Like, I mean-- - I'm in love with him.
- He's the best dude ever, right?
- I'm in love with him.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Now you're in good shape.
[cheers and applause]
[upbeat jazzy music]
- Welcome back to "Password".
During the break, Jimmy Fallon
and Martin Short switched partners.
But before we continue, you know,
I've mentioned that Veronica and Sandy
are both legacy "Password" winners,
so we're not gonna move on with the show
until we see a clip from your very first appearance.
- Oh! - Right?
Veronica, here's your clip first.
- Oh, my God.
- This is the first password of the new puzzle.
All right.
[applause]
[laughter]
There's nothing I can say.
Pass or play, Betty?
- I'll play.
Bust.
- Breasts? - Yes.
- You got it. - Yeah!
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, my God, yes!
- You look exactly the same.
- She really does.
- That's amazing. - Yeah, that's incredible.
Sandy, here's your clip. - Oh, my gosh.
My name is Sandy Castle,
I'm from Tucson, Arizona. - Whoa!
- And just for the record,
I have to tell everybody on national TV
that I have naturally curly hair.
- I know that's right! - Whoo!
- The password is after.
- Okay, Dee?
- Before?
- After. - Yes.
[cheers and applause]
- Come on!
You still got that curly hair!
Beautiful. - I love that.
Ah, well, it was great going down memory lane,
but now we're back to the present.
- All right. - Whoo!
- Sandy won the first game,
but remember, you have to win
the best two out of three in our showdown
to move on to the bonus round,
all right? - You can do it.
Here we go. - Let's play.
Starting with you, Martin.
You want to pass or you want to play?
- The password is diva.
- I will pass.
- He passed it on to you guys.
Jimmy?
- Queen.
- Royalty.
- That is not the password.
We're moving back to you, Martin.
- J-Lo.
[buzzer chirps]
- Oh. - What's wrong with that?
- That is a hyphenated word,
so it doesn't count for one word,
so you forfeit that turn.
- Who are these "judges"?
- Yeah, I've never seen them!
- Yeah, they don't show their faces, do they?
- They don't. - Let's let the audience
decide. - Anyway, okay, go ahead.
I've learned by doing.
- Here we go.
All right, Jimmy, we're back to you.
- Aretha.
[audience ohs]
- [weakly] Franklin?
[laughter]
- Sandy, that was adorable.
- Very cute. - She said...
"Franklin?" - Yeah, very cute.
- That was so cute. - It was very cute, yeah,
it was very cute. - I love it,
I wish the password was Franklin.
Okay, we're over here with you, Martin.
- We got queen. - Opera.
- Diva.
Whoo!
- You got it for 3 points.
- Now they're standing again.
- Can you believe I did that?
[cheers and applause] - Oh, my God.
Please, can we-- - Thank you!
Please sit down! - Can he stop winning?
They are sitting down. - Now, Martin--
- No, you--we'll never finish the game
if you keep standing.
- All right.
The game could be anybody's.
Sandy, do you want to pass or do you want to play?
- The password is... - I trust you.
- Piñata.
- I'm going to pass.
- All right.
Passed it to you, Veronica.
- Fiesta.
- Oh, I wish I was smarter.
[laughter]
Eugh, uh, you know, boy.
Fiesta, it's celebration.
- It's not the password.
We're back to you, Sandy.
- [chuckles]
Candy.
- Piñata. - Whoo!
Whoo!
- You got it! You got it for 5 points!
- I set you up for that one. - Yes, you did.
- I think it's wrong that this section started booing.
- They did not. - That's what I heard.
- For you, Martin.
All right, you guys are trailing, Martin,
so you get to decide if you want to play
or if you want to pass.
- The password is twerk.
- Uh, pass. [laughter]
- I am very familiar with this password.
- Uh...
- [chuckles nervously]
[laughter]
- Dancing.
- Dancing...
Tango.
- That's not the password.
We're over here with you, Martin,
for 5 points. - Okay.
Butt.
- Twerk.
- Yes! - Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
- He's signing autographs.
He's signing auto--he's signing autographs!
Get back here!
- What? - You're signing autographs!
The game's not over!
- Well, they've been big fans.
- That was quick, Veronica.
You did some twerking back in your day?
- I couldn't twerk if my life depended on it.
[laughter]
- Well, you sure guessed it perfectly.
All right, here we go, Sandy.
Veronica. - Oh, my God, we're winning.
We've got 5 over here with Sandy,
we've got 8 over here with Veronica.
The game could be anybody's.
Sandy, do you want to pass or do you want to play?
- The password is Olympics.
- [giggles]
I'll p-play.
- You're going to play.
- Oh, here we go.
Yes.
- Games.
[laughter]
Games.
- [giggles]
Games. - Games.
Head?
- [laughs] - Oh.
That is not the password.
- Ooh.
- We're going back to you, Veronica.
- Yeah, okay.
- Global.
- Oh, Olympics.
- Yes!
[cheers and applause]
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- Well, you guys are up at 13.
You could take this game home this round.
- Okay. - I want you to force
this tie-breaker.
You're at 5, Sandy.
It could be anybody's game, still.
All right, Jimmy, it's on you.
Do you want to pass or do you want to play?
- The password is Cher.
- I want to play. - Okay.
- Sonny.
[laughter]
Sonny.
- Cher.
Whoo! - Yes!
That was good, that was good.
- Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
- I mean... - Thank you!
Thank you very much!
- Oho! - We'll be right back.
- The game's not over!
The game's not over! - I see, I apologize.
- But that was really good. - I thought the game
was over. - We got 11, we've got 13.
I'm scared.
- Me too. - Sandy.
- All right. - Come on, Sandy.
- Sandy, if you win it,
you go straight to the bonus round.
Veronica, if you win it, we go to a tiebreaker.
So this is a pivotal stage.
Sandy, are you going to pass it or are you going to play it?
- The password is Saturday.
- Oh.
- Ooh.
- I am playing.
- You're going to play.
This is for the game.
- Friday...
Friday.... - Saturday.
- Yes! Oh, my God,
oh, my God!
- Congratulations, Sandy!
- [squeals]
- You won the game and are headed
to the bonus round for a shot at 25 grand!
Sadly, we must say goodbye to Veronica.
Veronica, you were great.
I hope you had a good time tonight.
Thank you so much for being here.
Don't go anywhere.
We'll play for 25 grand when we come back.
- Come on back, everybody, come on back!
- You were awesome.
Thank you.
Sandy, congratulations. - Can I hug Veronica?
- Of course!
- Oh, my God.
.
[laughter]
- I'll do my twerk.
- Come on, twerk.
- I can't do it. - All right, I'm ready.
- Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
[upbeat jazzy music]
- Welcome back to "Password".
Sandy has won our game and now has a chance
to play with both Jimmy Fallon and Martin Short
to win 25 grand.
- Whoo!
- Sandy, I'm so excited for you!
This would be your second time winning "Password".
So what would you do with the 25 grand this time?
- Well, me and my husband--my husband and I, I don't know.
[laughs] - It's my husband and I.
- My husband and I have never been to New Zealand, so...
- Ooh! - He's my rock,
he's my knight in shining armor.
And I want to go to New Zealand with him.
And I want to go too because it's--
Australia has so many things that can kill you.
So New Zealand's just as nice and nothing that can kill you.
- I love it, I love going to places
with nothing that can kill you, that's great.
All right, well, here's how the bonus round works, okay?
We're going to give you ten passwords,
beginning with the letter J and continuing through
to each letter, getting down to the letter S.
Now you will be the clue giver and start
by choosing one celebrity to be the guesser.
You have 30 seconds to get
as many of the passwords as you can.
Then we'll take a break, catch our breaths,
and the other celebrity will continue to guess
all of the remaining passwords
with just 30 seconds, all right?
For every correct answer, you'll get a grand.
But if you sweep and get all ten,
then you'll be going home with 25 grand.
- Whoo!
- Yes!
- So, Sandy,
which celebrity do you want to play with first?
- I--I'll start with Martin.
- Yeah. - Oh, she'll start with Martin.
All right, everybody into your positions.
- Oh, yeah, oh, yes.
- Yes, oh, incredible.
[applause]
- All right, 30 seconds on the clock.
Martin, after the contestant gives you a clue,
you can only make one guess before getting another clue.
So if you can't think of anything,
you know, another guess-- - You know what I should say?
- Huh? - Clue.
- Okay, Sandy.
Only you can pass.
On the marks, get ready, go!
- Bounce.
- Jump. [bell chimes]
- Tie.

- Shoe.
- Knot.
- Truth.
- Lie.
- Man.
- Mammal.

[buzzer blares] - Wow!
Oh, my God!
- Oh, that was amazing!
- * These little... * - No, no, no, that--
- I assumed they wanted an encore.
- No, they did not.
No encore yet. - Martin!
That was great. - Oh, thank you.
- You guys got 6, bringing you to a total of 6,000.
- Whoo! - Oh, my God, that's amazing.
One, two, three, four, we got four.
- I mean, Sandy, that is yours no matter what.
But let's try and get you to that 25 grand.
Jimmy, you're up next. - I want to.
- You have four passwords remaining, okay?
four passwords-- - Hey, Jimmy? Focus.
[laughter] - This is--
- We've got Q, R, S,
and then we got to go back and get that M, okay?
- All right. - You feel good?
- Q, R, S, and go back to the M.
Yes, we got this. - Yes.
- You could be 30 seconds away...
- $25,000, let's go. - From a $25,000 pay day.
I'm wishing you guys the best of luck.
30 seconds.
On your mark, get set, go.

Sandy, you did it!
She got all ten passwords!
- Thank you too! - [murmuring]
- Sandy, how does it feel to be a winner again?
- Oh, my God!
- I think that says it all.
We'll be right back after this
with two new contestants and one more game.
Don't go anywhere. - Oh, my God!
- Bravo! - $25,000!
- It's the second time! - Second time.
- Oh, my God, oh, my God.
- Two new contestants will have a shot at 25 grand.
- Rrrr!
[buzzer chirps] - Oh!
- What? - You should've been
listening to the rules, Martin.
- This is something that's involuntary.
- [laughter] - Thanks, judges.
Thanks for the sensitivity.
.
[upbeat jazzy music]
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "Password".
We're here with our very special guests,
Jimmy Fallon and Martin Short.
And they are joined by two new contestants
here to play for a shot at 25 grand.
Jimmy, tell us about your partner.
- I'm playing with Mark from Maryland.
- Whoo!
- Mark. - Yes!
- That's my partner.
Mark recently taught himself, a little fun fact,
how to play West African drum.
- Yes, it's called the djembe.
- The djembe. - Yeah, the djembe is just
kind of like a talking drum.
You know, you have the bass,
you have the snare, so, you know.
- Can you give it a little with the desk right here?
- Oh, yeah.
- * Hey, hey, my name is Keke *
* We're here playing "Password" *
* I got my man Jimmy, Martin Short on *
* When we've got to play a game, it's about to be fun *
* I don't know what to say, so, baby, I'm done *
[cheers and applause] - Oh!
That was good!
Oh, my God! That's what you do!
That's how you do it!
That's how you do that!
- What? - That's how you do it!
That's Keke Palmer right there!
That is the way to do it!
Now, Martin, you rap.
- Oh, I'm playing "Password" and it seems absurd,
but it's fun-- - Okay, all right, I'm sorry,
that's all right, just stop.
We have to go to commercial.
It's fine, let's continue.
- Now, Mark, you told me what your hobby is,
so what do you do for a living?
- I work with teachers.
I teach teachers how to teach.
- Oh, wow.
You teach teachers how to teach.
- Yeah. - Now that's important.
Well, we're glad to have you. Now over here, Martin,
who do we have playing with you tonight?
- This is Dawn. - Yes, Dawn!
- Dawn! Yes, Dawn!
- And she's worked as a mail carrier for 20 years.
- Yes!
[cheers and applause]
- And met her husband there.
- So you met your husband on the job, Dawn?
- I sure did. - How did that happen?
- No comment.
[laughter]
- So, Dawn, what is the key to being a great mail carrier?
- It's loving people.
- Yes. - And willing to be helpful
and go the extra mile.
- I love it, that's awesome.
Thank you both so much for being here.
We're all very excited because we're about to play...
all: "Password"!
[cheers and applause]
- We all know the rules, but I still gotta tell you, okay?
- I don't know the rules, tell them to me again.
- The first team to 15 points
wins game one in the best out of three battle.
I know exactly what kind of student you both were in class.
[laughter]
Are y'all ready to play?
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
- He didn't listen to any of the rules.
He didn't listen to any of the rules.
- Jimmy, you're up first.
Do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is cougar.
- Mm. - He got serious now.
- I'm going to pass.
- Okay.
- Um...
lion...
- Tiger?
- It's not the password.
We're coming back to you, Jimmy.
- Jaguar?
- Cat?
- We're going back to you, Martin,
because that also wasn't the password.
- [laughs]
- Lady. Rrrr.
[buzzer chirps]
- Oh! - What?
- That was the judges.
They said you can't make sound,
but you should've been listening to the rules, Martin.
- This is something that's involuntary.
[laughter]
Thanks for the sensitivity.
Go ahead, it's all right, I apologize.
- We're back to you, Jimmy.
Playing for 3 points. - Okay.
- We've got lion, we've got jaguar,
and we've got lady.
- Older.
- Cougar. - Yeah!
[bell chimes] - Yes!
- I couldn't go older.
- You got it, 3 points! - Whoo!
- We're just going to go right back in it.
For you, Dawn. - I'm frightened.
- And for you, Mark.
All right, Mark, you're in the lead,
so, Dawn, it's up to you
if you want to play or you want to pass first.
- The password is s'mores.
- Ooh.
- Pass.
- Okay.
- All right. We got this.
- Campfire...
- S'mores? - Yes!
Yes! Oh, my God!
Wow!
- Oh, my God!
- Jimmy does really good at this game.
- Don't touch me! - I was going--
In my mind, I was thinking campfire.
That was good, that was a good clue, campfire.
- That was good. - Thank you.
- I don't think they are,
but is it possible he's mouthing it to him?
- Will you stop?
Will you stop?
He's just tapping Morse code with his foot.
- That's good, very good, guys.
- All right, you're still in the game, guys.
You guys got 9, you're in the lead.
Martin, it's on you.
Do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is Canada.
- I'm going to--I'm going to play.
- Okay.
- Country...
[laughter]
- Whoo.
- Western?
- Mm. That's not the password.
We're coming back to you, Jimmy.
The first clue was country.
- Hockey.
- Canada.
Oh!
Man!
- Should've gone second. - Aren't you from Canada?
- Martin, where are you from?
- I am from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
- What? - Wow, that's exactly right.
- I didn't know you were Canadian!
- Yes. - Come on, eh?
- Yeah, nice seat, eh?
- All right, you guys have a chance
to steal it, if you so choose.
All right, Dawn,
do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is cavity.
- Pass. - All right.
- We're moving back to you, Mark.
- [strained] Dental...
- Dental...
- Dental.
- Yes.
[strained] Dental...
[normally] It's like--it's like you have a cavity.
- Yes!
Oh, my goodness!
That's amazing!
- Wow!
That's the end of the first round.
Mark has a 1-0 lead.
Stick around, we'll be right back with more "Password".
.
- I'll never get over that "dental."
That was so extra.
- [strained] Dental.
- That was fantastic.
Fantastic.
[cheers and applause]
[upbeat jazzy music]
- Welcome back to "Password".
During the break, Jimmy Fallon
and Martin Short switched places.
Mark won the first game, but remember,
you have to win two games in our best
out of three showdown to move on to the bonus round.
All right, it's on you, Jimmy.
Do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is shade.
[audience oohs]
- I think I'll play.
- Okay, he's going to play.
- Lamp.
- Post.
- Not the password.
We're moving to you, Martin.
The first clue was lamp.
- Covering.
- Shade? - Yes.
- Ah!
- You got it! - You're killing it!
- Post for shade. - Yeah.
- You got it for 5 points, Mark.
- Whoo! - Look how happy he is now.
- I've never known such joy!
[laughter]
For you, Dawn. - Dawn, we got this.
- This is for you, Mark. - It's only 5 points.
- And Dawn, you get to go first if you want.
Are you passing or playing?
- The password is belly.
- Play.
- She's playing, she's ready, she's in it.
- Tummy.
- Ache.
- Ooh, that's not the password.
Going back to you, Mark.
- Stomach...
- Ache.
[laughter]
- Oh, yeah, he said that too.
- What, you just said it louder than me?
No, you didn't.
You didn't-- I just said ache.
- Well, I'll say another one.
- No, no, no! - It's too late.
- All right, all right. - All right, we're back
to you, Dawn.
This would be for 4 points.
And we know it's not ache.
- Jelly...
- Belly.
- Bam, Jimmy, yes!
- Oh, that's it. - Oh, that was a good one.
- Belly, belly.
- You are in the game, Dawn.
It's 4 to 5.
- I got some points on the board.
- It's on you, Jimmy.
You passing or playing, buddy?
- The password is coconut.
- Mm, mm, mm.
[audience ohs]
- I'm going to play. - Okay,
he's going to play.
- Colada.
- Piña?
- That's not the password.
We're moving over here to you, Martin.
The first clue was colada.
- Ingredient.
- Coconut.
Hey!
Whoo!
- Great! - Mark, you're on fire.
And that was a great clue, Martin.
For you, Dawn.
For you, Mark.
Dawn, do you want to pass or play?
The way you're looking at it.
- The password is... - Her eyes got big.
- Cleopatra. - Oh.
Now I know why her eyes got big.
- I trust you, I trust you.
You don't think so? - Pass.
- Okay, good.
- Whew. - If you win this,
you win this round,
and you'll be going straight to the bonus round.
- Queen...
Queen.
- Uh...
Mercury.
No, I don't know.
Bad instinct.
Don't let my follies slip away,
let's put them under a microscope and examine them.
- We're back--we're back to you, Dawn.
- Egyptian.
- Sheba? - [high-pitched] No!
- We're moving back to you, Mark.
Playing for 4 points.
- Queen.
- Cleopatra.
- Yes!
- You got it!
So you've got 14,
which is just a point away
and you've got 4, Dawn, you're still in the game.
- Let's do this, come on.
- Yes. Okay.
Jimmy, do you want to play or do you want to pass?
- The password is polaroid.
- Pass.
- Okay, he's passing.
It's on you.
What you got, Martin?
- Well... - I love the slow turn.

Coming back to you, Jimmy.
- Instant.
- Polaroid. - There you go.
- Yes! Yes!
- Now the comeback. Now the comeback.
Now the comeback!
[imitating car gears whining]
- I like what I see here.
We got a game, guys, we got a game.
We got 9-14, which means
this could be anybody's game. - I know.
Oh, I know.
- Dawn, this is what you need--
- Let me just pass it to you. - To force the tiebreaker.
All right, Dawn, it's on you.
Do you want to pass or do you want to play?
- The password is pout.
- First to 15 wins.
- Pass.
- Okay.
- Frown.
[laughter]
- Scowl.
- It's not the password.
We're back to you, Dawn. - Smile.
- Is that De Niro?
- Yeah, I'm doing De Niro.
When he frowns, he smiles at the same time sometimes.
He's both--he does both.
All right, frown, smile.
- Smile.
- Emoji?
- Back to you, Mark.
This could be game.
- Sad.
- You can't say sex life.
[laughter]
- Wow!
You went for it, Jimmy.
- You went there.
Okay, hold on.
Unhappy.
- We're back to you, Dawn.
Playing for 3 points.
The first clue was frown, then smile, then sad.
- Tout?
Tout.
- Don't look at me, Jimmy.
I will make no eye contact.
[laughter]
- Tout?
Oh!
Pout!
- Yes! - Oh, my God!
- Wow!
Now I got it, I understand!
- Dawn! - Now I understand!
- Dawn, that was really good on you.
- That was so smart. - That was very smart.
And it's brought you to a clean 12.
We got 12, we got 14, guys.
- We got the comeback. - It is anybody's game.
- That was a comeback.
- First to 15 wins.
Dawn, you need this to force a tiebreaker.
- Okay. - It's on you, Jimmy,
to pass or play.
- The password is picnic.
- Mm.
Passing or playing?
- I'm gonna pass.
- Okay.
We're here with you, Martin, for 6 points.
- Ants.
- Colony.
- That's not the password.
We're going back to you, Jimmy.
This would force a tiebreaker.
- Basket.
- Picnic. - Yes!
You're in it, you're in it!
- What a comeback!
- Whoo!
- Wow, that is great.
- You came back, girlfriend.
You came back. - Wow.
- I lost both rounds. Shaddup!
That's wonderful!
- I'm ready.
I'm back, I'm back!
- So guess what?
This is my favorite part,
we have two winners,
which means our contestants are tied
at one game apiece.
And that means we go to a tiebreaker.
- Tiebreaker. - It's sudden death!
- Whoo!
- Here's how it works.
I will reveal a total of five clues
to a final password, okay?
One word at a time.
As soon as you think you know the password, buzz in.
If you're right, you'll move on to the bonus round.
Understand? - Yes.
- Let's do it, on your feet now.
Let's get ready to play.
[cheers and applause]
- What a game, what a game.
- Hands at the ready.
For a shot at $25,000, your first clue is...
[tense music]
Big.
Your second clue...
is baby.
The third clue...
is sugar.
The fourth clue is--
[bell chimes]
For a chance at $25,000, Dawn.
What is the password?
- Daddy.
- Is it daddy?
Is the password daddy?
[bell chimes thrice] - Yes, Dawn!
You did it!
- Greatest comeback-- - Ever!
- 0-4, Red Sox!
You know it, you know it! - That's the way we do it!
That's how we do it! - Come on!
- We got big for big daddy,
baby for baby daddy,
sugar daddy, Daddy Warbucks,
and daddy longlegs for the final clue.
Congratulations, Dawn.
You won the game and you are
headed to the bonus round for a shot at 25 grand.
Sadly, Mark, we say goodbye to you.
You played a great game. - Thank you.
- It was so great playing with you.
There's more "Password" still ahead.
We'll play for 25 grand when we come back.
.
[upbeat jazzy music]
[cheers and applause]
- They were applauding for you too, you know.
- Oh, wow. - Welcome back to "Password".
Dawn has won our game in an incredible comeback,
and now she has a chance to play with both
Jimmy Fallon and Martin Short to win 25 grand.
Dawn.
I mean, you blew me away with that comeback, girl.
You forced a tiebreaker and now you're here.
What would you do if you won the 25 grand?
- Well, my husband and I have never been on a honeymoon.
We never got one.
I just got my passport at 40.
And I want to go to Honduras--
- Yes! - And hike on a volcano.
And live on the edge and do everything crazy,
travel the world, yeah.
- Girl, it's time to mark up that passport
because of "Password"! [cheers and applause]
Now here's how the bonus round works.
We're going to give you ten passwords,
beginning with the letter L and continuing
through each letter to the letter U.
- Okay. - You will be the clue giver
and start by choosing one celebrity to be the guesser.
You have 30 seconds to get
as many of the passwords as you can.
Then we'll take a break, catch our breath,
and the other celebrity will guess the remaining passwords
with only 30 seconds on the clock, okay?
For every correct answer, you get a grand.
But if you sweep the board and get all ten,
then you're going home with 25 grand.
[cheers and applause]
Which celebrity do you want to play with?
- I'm going to start off with Jimmy.
- All right.
- Ooh.
- Miss you, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you! - I will miss you!
- It's the bromance, it's the bromance.
Into positions.
[upbeat jazzy music]
All right, 30 seconds on the clock.
And remember, after the contestant gives you a clue,
you can only make one guess before getting another clue.
So if you can't think of anything, say clue.
- Gotcha. - So she can give you
another guess, all right? - Of course.
- Only Dawn can pass. - Yep.
- On your marks, get set, go.
- Little.
[buzzer chirps] - Oh.
- It's all right. - Shopping.
- Mall.
- Tennessee.
- Nashville.
- Bird.
- Ostrich.
- Apple.
- Picking.
- Peach. - Pear.
- Loud.
- Quiet.
- Cage.
- Rat.
- Body.
- Clue. - Middle.
Pass.
Cutting. - Scissors.
- Lightning.
- Thunder. [buzzer blares]
[cheers and applause]
- I mean...
Dawn, that was incredible.
You broke the rule at the top.
Obviously, you got excited, you accidentally said
the password little. - I got excited, I'm excitable.
- But you know what, it's okay because we're going
to put a new word in for that letter.
So you can make it up, right? - Okay.
- We'll get you that 25,000.
- You still have a chance to win that 25 grand.
- Okay. - So brush the dust
off your shoulders.
Martin, you're up next.
You've got a total of seven, which gives you $7,000.
That's yours regardless, that's great.
But we're going to try and get you that 25 grand with Martin.
- Okay, let's do this. - You're gonna start with U--
- Okay. - And then go back
to get L and R, all right? - Let's do it.
- You could be 30 seconds away from a $25,000 payday.
With 30 seconds on the clock.
On your marks, get set, go.
- Baseball.
- Umpire.
- Learning.
- Lesson.
- Midsection.
- Ribs.
[cheers and applause] - [shrieks]
Yeah!
[yells]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
You're going on a honeymoon! You're going to Honduras!
- You got all ten passwords!
You got it!
Congratulations, Dawn, you just won $25,000!
- [screams]
- That's our show.
Thank you to Jimmy Fallon
and of course, Martin Short for being here,
all of you at home for watching.
I'm Keke Palmer and we'll see you next time on "Password".
