00:00Whether you celebrate Christmas or Kwanzaa, Hanukkah or winter solstice,
00:06there's an undeniable joyfulness about the season that I frankly abhor.
00:12I have personally invited eight holiday movie stars guilty of perpetuating this abomination,
00:18and tonight I will be forcing them to backstab and betray each other
00:23until one of them emerges with up to a million dollars for charity.
00:27Yes, I'm going to break the back of their Christmas spirit and crush their yuletide gay.
00:35Right here on Celebrity Weak Asleep.
00:45Welcome to Celebrity Weak Asleep.
00:49Please introduce yourselves while I try to spell King Wenceslaus in my head.
00:57I'm Luke McFarlane, and I have been lucky enough to star in many Christmas movies, including Single All the Way.
01:06Hey, I'm Taye Diggs, and I starred in The Best Man, Holiday.
01:11Hi, I'm Reginald Bale Johnson, and I starred in the movie Die Hard.
01:15I'm Jonathan Bennett, and I created and starred in the first queer-led Hallmark holiday movie, The Holiday Sitter.
01:24Hi, I'm Melissa Joan Hart, and my holiday films include my newest Merry Little X-mas and Holiday in Handcuffs.
01:31I'm Vivica A. Fox, and I've starred in more than 20 holiday films, including Make or Bake Christmas.
01:37Hi, I'm Rachel E. Cook, and you've seen me in many holiday films, like Rescuing Christmas.
01:46Hi, I'm Eric Lloyd from The Santa Claus.
01:48Now, you know how this works. I'll ask you questions one at a time.
01:55If you string together eight correct answers, you will win the top prize for this round.
02:00However, just like when there's one bulb out on a string of lights, one wrong answer will ruin the entire strand, and it'll take your bank back to zero.
02:09But if you press your button and say bank before your question is asked, well, that money is safe, and you start a new chain.
02:16In this round, the top prize is worth $25,000.
02:20And we'll start with Luke.
02:22It's time to play The Weakest Link.
02:27Start the clock.
02:30Luke, according to tradition, it's okay to sit on a stranger's lap at the mall as long as he's dressed like what jolly character?

03:25Rachel.
03:25A little girl says every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. At the end of what classic Jimmy Stewart holiday movie?
03:33It's a Wonderful Life.
03:34Yes. Eric.
03:35P.T. Barnum is credited with saying there's a what born every minute.

04:01That is correct.

04:19Melissa.

04:22The guy seen here is living out his childhood dream of doing what maneuver on a motorcycle?
04:28A wheelie.
04:28Correct.

04:36Clockwise.

04:39Although the competition has only been held on Earth, what title did Arnold Schwarzenegger first win in 1967?
04:46Mr. Universe.
04:47Correct.
04:48Eric.
04:49Bank.
04:52Time is up, but I can accept your bank. Very good.
04:56Well, listen, folks, I offered you a shot at $25,000, and you wouldn't touch it with a 39-and-a-half-foot hole.
05:06Banking only $7,000.
05:09That money will go through to the next round, but one of you is not.
05:13Which elf is going back on the shelf?
05:15It's time to vote off the weakest link.
05:23It's Christmas in Hollywood, and the team was looking merry and bright.
05:28Five of our eight stars didn't miss a question, but the tidings weren't as glad for Reginald, Vivica, and Jonathan, who was statistically the weakest link.
05:37Who is the team sending home for the holidays?
05:40The voting is complete.
05:45Reginald, there is a big debate as to whether you should even be here tonight.
05:50I want to take a vote.
05:51Who thinks that Die Hard is a Christmas movie?
05:54I'll go in.
05:56Oh, wow. Everybody except Vivica.
05:57Christmas is usually happy.
06:00It is.
06:00God was jacking people up all over the place.
06:03He has to get home to his family.
06:05That's right.
06:06For Christmas, Reginald, are your residuals for that movie, did they get higher at Christmas?
06:13Yes.
06:15It's a Christmas movie, everybody.
06:17We've deemed it a Christmas movie.
06:20Reginald, who did you choose to leave our little Christmas party?
06:23I have to say it in front of everybody?
06:25Yeah.
06:30Oh, Eric.
06:31He's going to hate me.
06:33No, this is the game.
06:35So, Eric, you were in the movie The Santa Claus with Tim Allen.
06:39You were in the first one?
06:40I was in all three of them.
06:42I was seven on the first one.
06:43Oh, wow.
06:43And I was 15 on the second one, 19 on the third one, and 36 on the Disney Plus show.
06:50So, basically, your entire acting career thus far has been about Christmas?
06:54Pretty much, yeah.
06:55So, do you like Christmas?
06:57It's not my favorite holiday.
06:58You're kidding.
06:58Christmas music just gets a little annoying after a while, right when Mariah starts coming
07:02through and, like, I'm going to hear this for three months straight.
07:07Eric, who did you want to vote off?
07:09I voted for Vivica.
07:12Vivica.
07:12You were in a lot of Christmas movies, but you had a start in this business that I just
07:16loved.
07:17Actually, the very first time that I was seen on camera was on the legendary show Soul Train.
07:21So, you were a dancer on that show.
07:24Hey.
07:24Yeah, I had this really cool dress, and I was killing them with the shoulders.
07:28Oh, I bet you were.
07:30It's all on the shoulders, right?
07:30It was all on the shoulders.
07:31That's my problem.
07:33Well, well, well.
07:34It's time to reveal who the team thinks is the weakest link.
07:41Jonathan.
07:44Reginald.
07:47Eric.
07:49Vivica.
07:50We have a three-way tie.
08:05Reginald, Eric, and Vivica each received three votes.
08:10That means the strongest link from the last round will cast the deciding vote.
08:15And in this last round, the strongest link was Tay.
08:19Now, Tay, you voted for Reginald.
08:23Would you like to stick with that vote, or would you like to switch it to either Eric
08:28or Vivica?
08:29Tell us what you're thinking.
08:31I think that I will stay with my original vote, Reginald.
08:36And your reason?
08:37That's none of your business.
08:38Okay.
08:38Well, Reginald, the team is unsure if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but they are sure that
08:46you're going home.
08:48With two votes, you are the weakest link.
08:50Goodbye.
08:52You're welcome.
08:54Well, it was Tay Diggs.
08:56He's responsible for me going home.
08:58Bye, Reginald.
08:59We love you, Reginald.
09:00Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
09:03Yes.
09:04It is.
09:05It is.
09:06I'm going to get you, Tay.
09:08But no, not really.
09:09I still love him.
09:20Welcome back to Celebrity Weakest Link.
09:23Well, our team is full of holiday movie stars tonight, but would it be too on-brand for
09:31me to say Bah Humbug?
09:35So far, you've banked $7,000 out of a possible $25,000, but in this round, you can add $50,000
09:43to that total if you run the chain.
09:46Ten seconds are coming off the clock, and we'll start with the strongest link from the last
09:51round, and that's Tay.
09:52Okay, let's play The Weakest Link.
09:57Start the clock.

11:09Katy Perry.
11:09You got it.
11:10Jonathan.
11:11If you actually wanted to rock the Casbah, you'd have to travel to what hot continent?

12:06Tay.
12:07In the nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.
12:09What did Jack break?
12:11His crown.
12:12Time's up.
12:13I cannot accept the answer, but the answer was his crown.
12:17Well, what the figgy pudding just happened.
12:21Out of a possible $50,000, you banked $5,000.
12:27Ugh.
12:28That brings your total bank to $12,000, and that money is moving to the next round, but
12:33one of you is not.
12:36Whose brain is having a silent night?
12:40It's time to vote off the weakest link.
12:44The team didn't do a great job stuffing their stocking.
12:51The only two players who banked money in that round were Luke and Melissa.
12:56Statistically, the weakest link was Vivica, who thinks the B in the MLB network stands for

13:15What was it about Handcuffs with Mario Lopez?
13:18It was called Holiday and Handcuffs.
13:19Tell us about that movie.
13:21Basically, I need a boyfriend to bring home to meet my parents, and Mario kind of trips
13:25on the ice, and I handcuff him with my pantyhose, and I make him pretend to be my boyfriend.
13:30Who are you not a fan of, of this group that you're saying buh-bye?
13:36I chose Luke this round.
13:38Luke, you're in so many Christmas movies, I want to play a little game with you.
13:41Okay.
13:42I'll name the movie, and you tell me what you played.
13:44Oof.
13:45And please don't tell us the plot, because we don't care.

14:18Melissa.
14:22Vivica!
14:25Luke.
14:29Rachel.
14:30Eric.
14:36Vivica.
14:39All right, we have another tie.
14:41Eric and Vivica each received two votes.
14:44That means that the strongest link will cast the deciding vote, and that strongest link was
14:49Tay.
14:50And I know you love this.
14:53Vivica, why should you stay?
14:54Because I'm fabulous.
14:57Eric.
14:57Eric, you know, I've only got one wrong in both the rounds.
15:01You're a utility player.
15:02We're playing for charity.
15:06Since we are playing for charity, I'm going to have to go with the utility player.
15:11Oh, Vivica.
15:13Vivica, my darling.
15:14The soul train is leaving the station.
15:17With three votes, you are the weakest link.
15:21Goodbye.
15:23I'll miss y'all.
15:24That's all right.
15:25We'll miss you.
15:25I'll miss you, darlings.
15:27I'll miss you all.
15:28You look good walking up.
15:28Especially you, girlfriend.

15:34Okay?
15:35Whatever.
15:36They sent me home?
15:38What?
15:39No, no, no.
15:41I mean, you heard what I said, baby?
15:42I am fabulous.
15:43Oh, come on, soul train.
15:45That's right.
15:46Don't they know I've been in over 20 holiday films and you vote me off?
16:01Welcome back to Celebrity Week is Link.
16:04Well, I'm here with a who's who of holiday movie hotshots trying to win big money for charity.
16:09And in this round, I'm putting up another $75,000 for grabs.
16:14Another 10 seconds are coming off the clock and we'll start with the strongest link from the last round.
16:21And that's Tay.
16:22Let's play The Weakest Link.

18:43Good reflex, though.
18:44Good reflex.
18:45Well, I put up a $75,000 winter wonderland, and you banked a slushy gray $12,500.
18:54That brings your total bank to $24,500.
18:58That money will go through to the next round, but one of you is getting frozen out.
19:04Ooh.
19:04Who is Santa's little helpless?
19:07Well, it's time to vote off the weakest link.
19:11Christmas is starting to feel like Thanksgiving.
19:18Four players cashed in with Jonathan leading the slay.
19:22Unfortunately, as answers go, he was kind of a dodo, making him the statistical weakest link for the second time.
19:30But Rachel also missed a question and failed to bank any money.
19:33Will her teammates realize that she's not all that?
19:37The voting is complete.
19:41Jonathan, you're like the Hallmark holiday Christmas poster child.

19:47Oh, my gosh.
19:48We are in season two of Finding Mr. Christmas.
19:51Yep.
19:51It's a competition to find the next Hallmark Christmas movie star.
19:55And I got to create and star in the first same-sex-led Hallmark Christmas movie called The Holiday Sitter.
20:01So, you know what?
20:02We're just making the Yuletide gay over at Hallmark, making sure everyone's represented.
20:07Well, you are known for a very famous role, Mean Girls.
20:11Yeah, Mean Girls.
20:12Yes.
20:13So, I started my career by kissing Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams.
20:16And here's the funny part, still gay.
20:20Speaking of Mean Girls, who does this one want to get rid of?
20:24Luke.
20:25Yeah.
20:26Take out your competition, Jane.
20:27Wow.
20:29Luke, how does that feel?
20:30Well, you know, I can respect the strategy.
20:32But also, Jonathan got his questions wrong.
20:37Ah!
20:38Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us.
20:41I mean, Seinfeld.
20:43Jonathan.
20:43Oh!
20:44I'm too young.
20:45I'm too young.
20:46I couldn't...
20:46I don't watch Seinfeld.
20:47I'm so young and supple.
20:49Well, it's time to reveal who the team thinks is the weakest link.
20:54Luke.
21:00Rachel.
21:02Jonathan.
21:06Luke.
21:10Jonathan.
21:13Luke.
21:16Rachel.
21:17Oh, for gosh sakes, you guys.
21:22We have a three-way tie.
21:24Every round has been a tie.
21:26Luke, Jonathan, and Rachel each received two votes.
21:30That means that the strongest link will cast the deciding vote.
21:34And in this round, the strongest link was...
21:38Tay.
21:41You're going to call you the Tay-breaker.
21:45Wow.
21:45Tay, you voted for Jonathan.
21:48Would you like to stick to that vote?
21:50I'm jealous of your red suit.
21:52I'm jealous that you got to kiss Rachel McAdams.
21:54Yeah.
21:55So, absolutely, I'm sticking.
21:57I'm sticking.
21:57Absolutely.
21:58Wow.
22:00Jonathan.
22:00Yes.
22:01If you still haven't found Mr. Christmas,
22:04go look in the parking lot.
22:05With two votes, you are the weakest link.
22:08Goodbye.
22:09You guys all hate Christmas!
22:11You hate Christmas!
22:12It's because I'm gay, isn't it?

25:12It's time to vote off the weakest link.
25:20It was a Christmas miracle that round
25:23with all five players banking.
25:25The only one who didn't answer two questions correctly
25:28was Rachel,

26:09so we would get a wide selection
26:11of gently used gifts
26:12until we were about 13,
26:14and then they were like,
26:14we're good on the whole Christmas thing, right?
26:16They canceled Christmas?
26:18They did.
26:18So I think in a way,
26:20having Christmas taken away
26:21like a skosh early
26:23is what's given me my renewed enthusiasm
26:26and makes me love to make holiday films.

27:04Totally fair.
27:07Good job.
27:08Hi, Gabe.
27:09I'm sorry, Eric.
27:10I'm sorry, too.
27:10I'm so sorry.
27:11I banked $8,000,
27:14and they still voted me off.
27:16That's bad math.
27:17I tried to avenge you, Reginald.
27:19And then there were four.

27:35This round, I'll give you a shot
27:36to add $250,000 to your current bank

29:56than an ugly Christmas sweater.
29:59I offered up a quarter million dollars,
30:01and you just unraveled,
30:03banking just $12,500.

31:14It's getting way more expensive.
31:15You just spoil him.
31:16Yes.
31:17Melissa, do you think you might be going home?
31:20What are you feeling now?
31:21You know, I feel like I'm the only lady standing up here,
31:24so we'll see.

32:04Understand.
32:05Bye, buddy.
32:07It's a good-looking hat.
32:09I went from being the strongest link
32:10to the weakest link.
32:12He was really too smart.
32:13Yeah, we had to get rid of him.
32:15Eric, Luke, and Melissa.
32:17I hope they all have terrible Christmases.

32:40So let's ship in something huge, huh?
32:43Half a million dollars if you can.
32:45But you've got to run the chain.
32:46But more money means less time.
32:49Another 10 seconds will come off the clock,

35:02and one of you will be subtracted from the team.
