00:11of dollars won by our fierce competitors.
00:14But get ready, because this season is going to be bigger, bolder, and absolutely epic.
00:22Four trivia buffs are about to enter this arena to compete for their shot to unlock
00:26the vault and take home up to $25,000.
00:30Will it be your generation?
00:32Stick around to find out.
00:34I'm your host, Lilly Singh, and welcome to season two of Battle of the Generations.
00:56I'm Ziga, a 20-year-old Gen Z from Calgary, Alberta.
01:01I'm a third-year law and society major at the UFC.
01:04I'm a huge multitasker, which is such a Gen Z trait.
01:08I can be doing 500 things at once.
01:12And because I've done so much research for school, my fire research skills is going to
01:17help me win this.
01:18Gen Z is the one to beat because we just have the magic.
01:22I'm the smartest, the youngest, the freshest, they can't compete with that.
01:26I know I have what it takes to win this.
01:30Hi, I'm Eric, a 40-year-old millennial from Bethany, Ontario.
01:36I've worked as a heating and air conditioning tech for the last 18 years.
01:41Just recently got into some modeling and some fitness coaching.
01:45I know my side.
01:48I'm a huge music buff and love going to concerts.
01:51If there's one thing I can't stand, it's people recording the concert the entire time through
01:55their cell phone.
01:56Just live in the moment.
01:58The other generation should keep an eye on me because I always play to win.
02:02Trust me.
02:03Ha ha.
02:04I'm Ellen.
02:08I'm a proud Gen Xer, 58 years of age, from Quizpamsis, New Brunswick.
02:13I work for a regulatory body in New Brunswick.
02:16I like my job, but I wouldn't say it's the most exciting thing ever, so I always look
02:20for adventure in other parts of my life.
02:22I started doing musical theater, game shows, just anything that really would push the envelope
02:27for me.
02:28I am absolutely a risk taker.
02:30On behalf of Gen X, what I'm hoping to prove to the other generations is we may be the forgotten
02:35child, but that doesn't mean that we're not in the mix.
02:39The other generation should keep an eye on me because I'm sneaky smart.
02:47I'm Victor.
02:48I'm a 59-year-old boomer from Mississauga, Ontario.
02:52I used to be a singer in a rock band, but now I'm a general contractor.
02:57Anything went back in those 80s, like the hair, the makeup, Miami Vice did in fact influence
03:04my fashion.
03:05I'm going to be the boomer that takes this home because I've already lived through all
03:10those generations that they think they know.
03:13Check, one, two, two, two.
03:15I think I'm ready to rock and roll, baby.
03:18What up everyone, it's your girl, Lily, and welcome to the Battle of the Generations
03:30Arena.
03:31I am so excited you're here.
03:32I am so excited you're here.
03:35Gen Z, welcome to the show.
03:37Ziga, how you feeling?
03:38I'm feeling ready.
03:39I'm ready to go, Lily.
03:40I love this energy.
03:41Where are you from?
03:42Well, I'm originally from Dublin, Ireland, but I moved to Calgary when I was six with my
03:47older brother and my parents.
03:49Dublin to Calgary.
03:50Your parents were like, we like the mountains, we like the rivers, we like the green.
03:52It's just not cold enough.
03:53We need to be colder.
03:55Let me ask you a question.
03:57Be real with me.
03:58Are you competitive?
03:59I am so competitive, I compete with children.
04:02Age doesn't faze me.
04:04I'm the winner, baby.
04:05Ooh, okay.
04:06Welcome to the show.
04:08Millennial.
04:09Eric, welcome to the show.
04:12I do actually think we need an AC technician because the temperature went up since you
04:16walked in, Eric.
04:17Oh.
04:18Well, thank you.
04:19I appreciate that.
04:20Are you married?
04:21I am married.
04:22Then just kidding.
04:23Then just kidding.
04:24So what do you think your strengths are going to be here today?
04:26My strengths?
04:27Definitely music.
04:28I collect music.
04:29I have 2,000 records.
04:31I collect guitars.
04:32Wait, you have 2,000 physical records?
04:34Physical copies of records, yes.
04:36You live in a mansion?
04:38I wish.
04:39Okay.
04:40Maybe after I win the show.
04:41Hey.
04:42So beard.
04:43Got a beard.
04:44Vinyls.
04:45You're like a beanie away from being the hipster bingo.
04:47Like, honestly.
04:48Honestly.
04:49That is amazing.
04:50Well, welcome to the show.
04:51I'm happy to have you here.
04:53Gen X.
04:54Ellen.
04:55Hi, Lily.
04:56Talk to me, baby.
04:57Growing up, did you play a lot of games?
04:58Oh, endlessly.
04:59We had this old hunting camp and there was no electricity, no indoor plumbing.
05:03And so when we weren't kicked out into the woods to just spend for ourselves, we
05:06were playing any card game you can come up with.
05:08Doesn't matter what I'm doing, I want to win it.
05:10No electricity or plumbing?
05:11Yep.
05:12That's like a normal day for a boomer.
05:14Uh.
05:15You like to take the risk.
05:17You like to put yourself out there.
05:18So much so that you even did some acting, correct?
05:20The very first thing that I decided to do was the vagina monologues.
05:24You're my queen.
05:25I love it.
05:26And today is a little bit of a redemption story for you, no?
05:29It is.
05:30This is not my first game show.
05:32I didn't do quite what I wanted to do the last time and I'm doing it today.
05:36Well, good luck.
05:38Hey.
05:39Victor.
05:40How you doing, boomer?
05:41I'm doing great.
05:42How are you?
05:43I'm doing great, boomer.
05:44Alright.
05:45Alright, so I heard you previously were a tour singer.
05:48I was.
05:49I started when I was 13 and then played all through high school.
05:54Joined a touring band when I turned 18.
05:56Okay.
05:57And you did impressions, no?
05:59I did Frank Sinatra.
06:00Really?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Give me something.
06:03I'm on BOTG with Lilly Singh.
06:07Oh my goodness.
06:10You know, that led into a little bit of exotic dancing actually.
06:14I still got it.
06:15Oh my goodness.
06:16You know.
06:18Victor.
06:19I got it.
06:20And I love it.
06:21That's the energy.
06:22Alright, y'all.
06:23The vault is completely empty right now, but I have a great idea.
06:27Should we start filling it with some money?
06:29Yes.
06:30Let's go.
06:31Let's go.
06:32It's time for our first round.
06:34Let's play The Money Maker.
06:36One by one, I'm going to ask you trivia questions that come from your own generation.
06:43If you get a question right, $250 gets added to the vault.
06:47But to make even more money, you can throw your question to another player.
06:51And if they get it right, they'll bank $500.
06:54Now remember, even though this is a battle, this round is a chance to combine your strengths
06:59and put as much money into the vault as you can.
07:01And honestly, it's a good chance to size up the competition.
07:04Are y'all ready?

10:13You got all of your questions correct, but you did not throw to anyone.
10:18I was more confident that I would get it right than the other generation, so I had to believe in myself.
10:24Okay, a little bit of shade, a little bit of shade.
10:26Well, Gen X, you were actually thrown to the most. How does that make you feel?
10:29Fantastic, of course, but I'm all about the money, so let's go.
10:34I like your shit for one reason. Millennial. Manspreading.
10:39You're so tall. You gotta know manspreading.
10:42Of course I know manspreading, but would I think that would be the actual answer?
10:46I don't know.
10:48That's it for the money maker. Time to add all that cash into the vault.
10:53We banked $5,250.
10:57We have to take a quick break, but stay tuned because our first battle zone is coming up and one of our contestants will be going home.
11:05Don't go anywhere. Manspreading.
11:07Welcome back to Battle of the Generations. We have got a group of very competitive people here.
11:21So far, our contestants have added $5,250 to the vault.
11:27But now it's time for the real battle to begin.
11:31Three of you are about to enter the battle zone that will send someone home,
11:34but you all have the chance to earn your safety.
11:38I'm going to throw out some rapid-fire questions.
11:40The first one of you to buzz in and get three correct answers will be safe from the battle zone,
11:45securing your spot in the next round.
11:47Everyone, please pick up your buzzers.
11:49Here's your first question. Good luck.

12:32Gen Z, Gen X and Boomer, it's time to enter the battle zone.
12:38The Vault is going to reveal six categories.
12:44You'll each take turns picking one and then decide if you want a question from your own generation or one from your opponents.
12:49Stepping outside of your generation will earn you more cash and that's really important because whoever brings in the least will be heading home.
12:57Let's see the categories you'll be playing with.
13:00Sports stars, in fashion, TV characters, trending, page turners and popular music.
13:07Now, we've randomly selected the order and Gen X, you're up first. So, which category would you like?
13:13I think I'm going to go with the TV characters, please. And I'm going inside my generation.
13:20Okay. You watch a lot of TV?
13:22I used to. I mean, I was a latchkey kid, Lily. I had nothing to do after school but watch the two.
13:26Were they in color at that time? Yes, Lily, they were in color.
13:31For $500, here is your Gen X question.
13:36Which 80s sitcom features a British butler working for an American family?
13:41Who's the boss? Give me a break. Mr. Belvedere or Benson?
13:45Okay, so here's a good indication for you. I know all of those.
13:50And I remember very well that the British butler worked for an American family in the show, Mr. Belvedere.
13:57That is correct. Well done, Gen X.
14:00Early lead, Gen Z.
14:03You got your competitive hat on. I know you don't take it off.
14:06Ready. Which category are you thinking?
14:08Sports stars in my generation.
14:11For $500, here is your Gen Z question.
14:13John Montgomery won gold at the Olympic Games Vancouver 2010 for which sport?
14:20Freestyle skiing, figure skating, skeleton or curling?
14:25I know nothing about skeleton, figure skating. I don't think so.
14:31It also could be freestyle skiing, but I think I'm going to go with curling.
14:35You are trying to tie things up with Gen X here for $500.
14:39The correct answer is skeleton.
14:43That's incorrect.
14:45Boomer, you're up next.
14:47I'm going to go popular music outside my generation.
14:50Okay. For $1,000, here is your Gen Z question.
14:54In her album of the year Grammy speech for 25, who did Adele describe as the artist of her life?
15:01Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Drake or Justin Bieber?
15:08It's either Beyonce or Taylor Swift. I'm going to say Taylor Swift.
15:14Do you know all of these people?
15:16Yes.
15:17Fantastic start. You get this right and you would take the lead with $1,000 here.
15:22The correct answer is Beyonce.
15:28You are incorrect.
15:30Gen X still with the lead of $500, but don't sweat it because we're heading into the second turn of this round and correct answers are worth even more.
15:37So Gen X, we are back to you. Three categories left.
15:40Okay, I got to turn up the heat a little bit here. Trending, outside my generation, bring it on.
15:46For $1,500, here is your Boomer question.
15:51Why did people use these vibrating belt machines in the 50s and 60s?
15:55Lose weight, reduce stress, induce labor or stimulate organs?
16:03Oh, as much as I hate to admit this, I've actually used one of those.
16:08I know what I was trying to do and that was, I get on that thing, I do the blah, blah, blah, blah.
16:15And I am going to lose weight.
16:18You get this right. That would be $1,500 and a real big lead.
16:22Mm-hmm.
16:24Gen X.
16:25Mm-hmm.
16:27You're correct.
16:29Of course you're correct.
16:31$2,000 on the board, Gen Z.
16:35It's now or never. Let's turn this up, baby. Two categories left.
16:38Okay.
16:40I know I'm not good in books or literature, so I feel okay in fashion and I'm going to choose outside of my generation.
16:48For $1,500, here is your Boomer question.
16:53Which of these stars did not appear on the cover of Vogue in the 1970s?
16:58Cher, Elizabeth Taylor, Beverly Johnson or Naomi Campbell?
17:03Okay. I recognize Cher, I recognize Elizabeth Taylor. I don't know who Beverly Johnson is and I definitely know who Naomi Campbell is.
17:14Looking at the year, I feel like the 1970s is too early for Naomi Campbell, so I'm going to go with Naomi Campbell.
17:23I love your deductive reasoning. Let me ask you this. Does your generation still read magazines?
17:30No. I mean, if it's on, like, my phone, maybe, but not really, not physical.
17:35This is a big moment. You get this right? It would be $1,500, which would give you a chance to stay in the game.
17:43That is correct. $1,500 on the board!
17:50Whoo, baby! Now, here's the thing, Victor!
17:53I know.
17:54I'm sweating!
17:56There's one category left, and you must get this right in order to stay in the game.
18:03Got it.
18:04The category is page turners. Which generation? Inside your generation or outside your generation?
18:09Well, obviously, outside my generation.
18:12I like your math skills.
18:14Whoo!
18:16For $1,500, here is your Gen Z question.
18:21Paula Hawkins is the best-selling author of the 2015 suspense novel, The Girl on the What?
18:29Bus, boat, plane, or train?
18:33I think I've actually seen this movie, and I know it's not a bus, or a boat, or a plane, so would suggest that it is the girl on the train.
18:46Victor, if you are incorrect, you will be going home.
18:53Trying to tie things up with Gen Z here.
18:58The correct answer is...
19:02Train!
19:03You are correct!
19:05That means Gen Z and Boomer are tied, and it's time for a tiebreaker.
19:10I'm going to read your tiebreaker question that has a number for its answer.
19:17You'll both write down your guesses, and whoever is closest to the actual answer will remain in the game.
19:23Here is your tiebreaking question.
19:26According to Guinness, what is the highest number of points you could earn on a single word in Scrabble?
19:33Time's up. Let's see your answers.
19:46Wow, wow, wow. 49 and 45. A difference of only...
19:524.
19:53The actual number is...
20:001,790.
20:02Which means, I'm sorry, Boomer, but it's the end of your journey with us.
20:07Thank you so much for being here. Give it up for Boomer.
20:10All right.
20:12Thanks. Good luck, guys. Good job, buddy. Good job.
20:14We love you, Boomer. Thank you for being here.
20:17Which means, congratulations, Gen Z and Gen X are both moving on to the next round.
20:22But first, time to deposit all that sweet money you've made into the vaults.
20:29You banked $8,750.
20:33It's time for a quick break, but we'll see you on the other side when we head into another electrifying battle zone.
20:39Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
20:40Welcome back to Battle of the Generations, where our contestants are playing for the chance to win up to $25,000, baby.
20:59Now, our Boomer left us after the first battle zone, which sucks even more because he got here four hours early.
21:05Gen Z, let me ask you, how are you feeling after the tiebreaker?
21:09I'm a little tense, but you know what? The nerves don't get to me. I'm ready to do this.
21:13I like it. Gen X, be real with me. What was it like being in the battle zone?
21:16You know, it was nerve-wracking to be honest, but it's like my husband said, just do it big.
21:21I love the attitude.
21:23Millennial, you of course were safe. You think you can do it again?
21:26Obviously.
21:30Okay. Well, it's time for more rapid fire.
21:33The first person to answer three questions correctly will be safe.
21:37And you know what happens to the other two? They will go into the battle zone.
21:41Here is your first question. Good luck.
21:43In this military-inspired board game, players will exclaim you sunk my... Gen X?

21:51Correct. One point towards safety.

21:57Sugar.
21:59Incorrect. I'm going to read that one more time.
22:01In their hit song, Hey Ya, Outcast wants you to shake it like what?

23:02Gen Z and Millennial, it's time to enter the battle zone.
23:08Now this is just like the last round, except you'll only have four categories to choose from.
23:13On TV, horror, fun and games, and popular music.
23:17Eric, you have control of the board. Which category would you like?
23:22Ah, not much of a TV guy these days.
23:26Ah, yeah, let's go with horror outside of my generation.
23:30For $1,000, here is your Gen Z question.
23:34Which 2023 horror film starring Alison Williams features a villainous lifelike doll?
23:41Annabelle, Child's Play, The Conjuring, or Megan?
23:45I know Child's Play and I'm pretty sure it's not that one. That's from the 80s and 90s.
23:51I've actually never heard of Megan and it's got a three in there.
23:56That sounds pretty Gen Z. I'm gonna go with Megan.
24:00I like your logic.
24:02The correct answer is...
24:04Megan.
24:06Very well done, Millennial.
24:09All right, Gen Z.
24:11There's three categories. Which one is speaking to you?
24:13Popular music outside my generation.
24:16For $1,000, here is your Millennial question.
24:20Name this R&B group that formed in Atlanta in 1990.
24:25TLC, SWV, All Saints, or Destiny's Child?
24:31Okay, I am so happy I got this question because I totally know it.
24:35I love this group. They are the queens. And I'm going to choose TLC.
24:44All right, this is 1990. When were you born?
24:472004.
24:48Okay.
24:49Yeah.
24:50Okay. All of my hair turned white just now.
24:53Okay.
24:55That is correct. Of course it's TLC, baby.
24:58Of course.
25:00Because we don't want no...
25:01Scrubs.
25:03That's what's up, Gen X. Okay.
25:05Not even in the battle zone and just giving the answers.
25:07I'm sorry, I had to.
25:08Tied with $1,000 each.
25:10But correct answers are worth even more on the second turn.
25:14Millennial, two categories left.
25:16Which one's it going to be?
25:18I'll have to go with fun and games.
25:20Also outside of my generation.
25:22Make things spicy.
25:24For $1,500, here is your Gen Z question.
25:26John Marston is the protagonist in which 2010 video game set in the American West?
25:33Red Dead Revenge, Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Resolution, or Red Dead Ricochet?
25:41Well, as we already established earlier, I am not a gamer by any stretch of the word.
25:47However, I do recall some ads for this game.
25:55And this is a bit of an easy one. Red Dead Redemption.
25:59I wonder if it's available on Nintendo Stitch.
26:04When it comes out next year.
26:06Okay. Okay.
26:08You get this right. That's a big lead.
26:13That is correct, Millennial. Well done. Okay.
26:15Okay.
26:18See now.
26:20Gen Z.
26:22The pressure is real on right now.
26:24There's one category left.
26:26It is on TV.
26:28Would you like a question from your generation or outside your generation?
26:32I'm going to go outside my generation.
26:34You need to get this question right in order to stay in the game.
26:39For $1,500, here is your Millennial question.
26:43Listen to this.
26:45Let's go.
26:46You could gaze into the future.
26:47Future.
26:48Future.
26:49Future.
26:50You might think life would be a breeze.
26:52Life is constant.
26:54When you travel from a distance, yeah.
26:57This track is the theme song to which 2003 teen sitcom?
27:02iCarly, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, or Lizzie McGuire.
27:08Okay. I was ready to bust a move when that started playing because this is my favorite TV show.
27:14Of course, I wasn't even born when it came out, but I watched reruns all the time.
27:18This is That's So Raven in an attempt to stay in the game.
27:28That is correct.
27:30Well done, Gen Z.
27:31Of course, That's So Raven.
27:32But that means you two are tied and it's time for a tiebreaker.
27:41Please pick up your boards.
27:43Just like last time, whoever is closest to the actual number will remain in the game and the other will be headed home.
27:49Good luck.
27:51According to Purdue University's licking machine, how many licks gets you to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
28:09Time's up.
28:11Let's see those answers.
28:13Gen Z, you said 160.
28:15Millennial says 357.
28:21The actual answer is 364.
28:27Gen Z, I am sorry.
28:28It is the end of your time with us here today.
28:31I hope you had fun.
28:32Big round of applause for Gen Z.
28:34Thank you so much for being here.
28:37Congratulations, Millennial.
28:39Time to deposit your winning from this round.
28:42Let's see it.
28:43Make it rain, make it rain, make it rain.
28:46There is now $11,250 in the vault.
28:51Ooh, baby.
28:53Now after the break, we're heading into the final face-off where our Millennial and Gen X will duke it out for the chance to win up to $25,000.
29:03Stick around.
29:04We'll be back.
29:05Come on, Millennial.
29:12Welcome back to Battle of the Generations.
29:15Before the break, our Millennial turned up the heat and sent our Gen Z packing.
29:21Millennial and Gen X, you are our final two.
29:25Now, Millennial, I gotta ask, you love Tootsie Pops?
29:27Obviously.
29:29I mean, that was like eerily close.
29:32Completely random number off the top of my head.
29:35Fascinating.
29:36Yeah.
29:37Fascinating indeed.
29:38Gen X, now, did you think you'd be standing here in the final two?
29:42Yes.
29:44I love that confidence, Alan.
29:45I did.
29:46I love that confidence.
29:47Well, it all comes down to this.
29:50Millennial, Gen X, it's time to go head-to-head in the final face-off.
29:58This round will have five questions, which you'll both be answering at the same time.
30:03For each question, I'm gonna show you four famous faces, three of whom have something in common.
30:08Your job is to find which one of them is the odd one out.
30:11You'll both select your answers on your keypads, and the player who answers the best out of five correctly will win the round.
30:18Also banking $1,000 for every correct answer.
30:22Here's your first question.
30:24Which of these comedians has not been an official cast member on SNL?
30:30Marcelo Hernandez, Kate McKinnon, Sarah Silverman, or Steve Martin?
30:41You've both selected your answers.
30:43Millennial, you think the answer is Steve Martin.
30:48Gen X, you think it's Marcelo Hernandez.
30:53The correct answer is...
30:58Steve Martin.
31:00Point for Millennial!
31:01Wow.
31:02Okay.
31:04Here's your second question.
31:06Which one of these celebrities did not start their career as a dancer?
31:11Maddie Ziegler, Jessica Alba, Channing Tatum, or Madonna?
31:22I'm not gonna lie, when this question came up, I saw a lot of tense faces here.
31:26Gen X, talk to me.
31:27They're pretty dancey to me.
31:29All of them.
31:30But whether or not they were dancing at the beginning of their career, I guess, is the question.
31:34Millennial.
31:35Considering who's up on the board, we got Magic Mike staring me down.
31:39And, you know, I never know where Madonna started her career either, so...
31:43Did you say it's Magic Mike? I thought it was our boomer, Victor.
31:47Well, Gen X, you selected Jessica Alba.
31:51However, Millennial, you selected Madonna.
31:57The correct answer is...
32:02I'll tell you after the break, we'll be right back.
32:04Don't go anywhere.
32:06Welcome back to Battle of the Generations.
32:07Our Millennial and Gen X are in the midst of our final face-off, trying to prove they're the greatest generation.
32:13Only one of them will face the vote for their chance to win it all.
32:15Now, remember, whoever answers the best out of five questions right will be moving on to the final round, and it is buh-bye for the other contestant.
32:23Before the break, Millennial, you said the answer is Madonna.
32:27Gen X, you think it's Jessica Alba.
32:28The correct answer is...
32:30Jessica Alba.
32:31Jessica Alba.
32:32Point for Gen X.
32:33Jessica Alba.
32:35Jessica Alba did start moving on to the final round, and it is buh-bye for the other contestant.
32:39Before the break, Millennial, you said the answer is Madonna.
32:45Gen X, you think it's Jessica Alba.
32:49The correct answer is...
32:54Jessica Alba.
32:56Point for Gen X.
32:59Jessica Alba did start in the 2003 dance film Honey, but she actually started her career as a teen actor.
33:05All right, Millennial and Gen X, you are both tied with one point each.
33:10Here's your next question.
33:12Which of these celebrities has not appeared in a Taylor Swift music video?
33:16Sadie Sink, Lena Dunham, Pedro Pascal, or RuPaul?
33:25All right, you've both selected your answers.
33:28Millennial, you selected Lena Dunham.
33:31Ellen, you selected Pedro Pascal.
33:35The correct answer is...
33:38Pedro Pascal.
33:40Point for Gen X.
33:41Way to go, Ellen.
33:42The score is 2-1-4.
33:45Ellen, here is your next question.
33:48Which of these artists has not performed during the Super Bowl halftime show?
33:53Camila Cabello, Bruno Mars, Shania Twain, or Stevie Wonder?
34:04Ellen, you took a second.
34:06Not the biggest Super Bowl fan?
34:07I actually will skip the football on either side just to watch the halftime show.
34:13Millennial, what about you?
34:15Football is my least favorite sport, Lily.
34:19Well, you both selected Camila Cabello.
34:25Millennial, to stay in the game, the answer needs to be Camila Cabello.
34:30And the correct answer is...
34:34Camila Cabello.
34:36Point for each of you!
34:39Well done!
34:41Stevie Wonder performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 1999.
34:45Shania Twain performed at the 2003 Super Bowl.
34:48And Bruno Mars performed in 2014 and 2016.
34:52Well done.
34:53The score is 3-2.
34:55Here is your final question.
34:57Which of these actors does not appear in a film directed by Steven Spielberg?
35:03Rachel Zegler, Dakota Fanning, Ethan Hawke, or Whoopi Goldberg?
35:09Gen X, you familiar with a lot of Steven Spielberg's work?
35:14Yeah, I would say so.
35:16Millennial, what about you?
35:18I couldn't tell you what the last Steven Spielberg movie was.
35:22Um, but I do know who all those people are.
35:25Okay.
35:27Millennial, you selected Dakota Fanning.
35:30Gen X, you selected Whoopi Goldberg.
35:33Millennial, you are trying to tie this up.
35:38The correct answer is...
35:42Ethan Hawke.
35:44Millennial, you are so close!
35:47Thank you so much for being here.
35:49Give it up for our Millennial.
35:53Woo!
35:55Over the past four rounds, our competitors have added a grand total of...
35:59Woo!
36:01$14,250 to the vault.
36:05Now we have to go to a quick break, but come back soon because Gen X is going to compete for the chance to walk out of your $25,000 richer.
36:11It comes down to this.
36:15Ellen!
36:22Welcome back to the battle, everyone.
36:25Gen X, you've outlasted all three of your opponents and are about to head into your final battle.
36:31Ellen, how do you feel right now?
36:33I am, at the same time, a bag of nerves and yet super relieved because it's just me now.
36:38It's just you?
36:40Then there was one.
36:41You could walk out of here with $25,000.
36:44Yeah.
36:45If that happens, what are you going to do with the money?
36:47Well, I'm going back and forth between adding it to my retirement account and buying a waterbed.
36:53And maybe an Easy Bake Oven again.
36:55I'm going full 80s with it.
36:57I was not anticipating any of those answers.
37:00Gen X, it's time to face your final opponent.
37:04Welcome to the vault.
37:08There's currently $14,250 banked and Ellen, it could be all yours.
37:14Locked inside the vault are four time capsules, one from every generation.
37:19And each one holds three questions.
37:22To secure that cash, all you have to do is correctly answer all three questions from one single generation in two minutes or less.
37:29But it's not as easy as it sounds.
37:32When I say the word, the vault's randomizer will activate, highlighting questions across all four generations.
37:38You can pause the randomizer whenever you want by pressing your button.
37:42And based on where it lands, I'll reveal the question.
37:44Got it?
37:45Got it.
37:46Now, if you get a question wrong at any point, all of the questions in that capsule will permanently lock.
37:52And that generation will no longer be in play.
37:55And passes count as incorrect answers.
37:58Gen X, are you ready?
38:00Ready as I'll ever be, Lily.
38:01Your time starts now.
38:04Boomer, which fantasy novel was released in three separate volumes starting in 1954?
38:15Lord of the Rings.
38:17Correct.
38:21Millennial, which character in The Simpsons is obsessed with trying to kill Bart?
38:29Mo.
38:31Incorrect.
38:32Sideshow Bob.
38:33Millennial is no longer in play.
38:35Gen Z, which platform did Meta launch in 2023 to compete with Twitter?
38:44Facebook Reels.
38:46Incorrect.
38:47Threads.
38:48Gen Z is no longer in play.
38:51Boomer, what TV personality hosted American Bandstand from 1957 to 1989?
38:57That was Dick Clark.
38:59Correct.
39:01Okay.
39:03Gen X, which Billy Joel song references over 100 historical events from 1949 to 1989?
39:11We didn't start the fire.
39:13Correct.
39:14Boomer, which Neil Diamond song was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress in 2019? You could win this all.
39:28Sweet Caroline.
39:29Sweet Caroline.
39:31Correct.
39:33Congratulations!
39:35You were locked alone and secured that $14,250.
39:41Ellen, can you believe it?
39:42I can't believe it.
39:43I can't believe it.
39:44This is amazing.
39:45Amazing.
39:46Redemption, baby!
39:47Absolutely.
39:48Well, Gen X, it is not over yet because now you have a big decision to make. You've officially activated the cash-in question.
39:58All you have to do is answer one more trivia question that comes from your own generation.
40:04You get the cash-in question right, you are $25,000 richer.
40:09But if you choose to play the cash-in question and get it wrong, you'll go home with nothing.
40:15So, Ellen, Gen X, do you want to cash in for the chance to win $25,000?
40:23I spoke with my husband about this, and we were talking about the threshold at which I would make the decision to either go for the $25,000 or not go for the $25,000.
40:33Funny thing is, the number was $15,000.
40:36Okay.
40:37So, you know, I'm not far off, but I am going for the cash-in, Lily.
40:43You're gonna catch this!
40:44Yep.
40:45All right, Ellen!
40:46You have chosen to play the cash-in question.
40:51Make it rain for me.
40:53Ellen, Gen X, it all comes down to this.
41:00Ellen, here's your $25,000 question.
41:05Good luck.
41:07What do the letters LP stand for when referring to a record or album?
41:14So I, you know, I'm more than familiar with records and albums, that's for sure.
41:19I've seen the letters LP a thousand times.
41:22Can I come up with them at this moment?
41:25I'm gonna need your answer.
41:26Long play.
41:38For $25,000.
41:42That is correct.
41:43Jen X, you cashed in on $25,000.
41:49Ellen, how do you feel?
41:53There's a lot of things going through my mind right now.
41:56Like, I have envisioned this, I can't even, how many times over the past few months.
42:01This is just beyond huge. I can't believe it.
42:03You know what I think, Ellen?
42:06I think redemption.
42:08Woo!
42:09Yes!
42:10Gen X battled their way to the top and is taking home $25,000.
42:14Anything can happen on Battle of the Generations.
42:16Remember, you can't pick your age, but you can pick your battles.
42:20See you next time.
42:22Give it up for Ellen.
42:23Oh my god!
42:53Let's get started in space.
43:04I wake up for dia.
43:08See you next time.
43:09We break ourcasts in alleyship for
43:11forever.
43:12Let's go for it!
43:15Amen!
43:18Let's go for it!
