In honor of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 16’s episode of @Midnight brought in an all-male cast, featuring Big Jay Oakerson, Vance Sanders and Doug Benson.
In the first challenge, Rapid Refresh, Hardwick presented his guests with questions concerning Libertarian, James Weeks, Donald Trump’s toupee and Republican politicians Mitt Romney and Rand Paul. At the end of the round, the race was too close between the three to call an early victor.
Moving on to Hashtag Wars, the hastag of the night was #oceanmovies. Highlights of the round included “The hunt for red lobster,” “dude, where’s my carp,” “as wet as it gets” and “reef madness.” As per usual, Hardwick posed the same question to the Twitter community.
Next, in a game titled The Bozone Layer, Formerly Known as a Clown Town Julie, Hardwick showed the guests various clown-related Youtube videos, asking them to come up with entertaining comments for each. At the end of the round, Benson took the first substantial lead.
In the night’s live challenge, Talk Daddy Me, Hardwick individually presented the guests with a picture of a father, provided by fans of @Midnight. During the round, each contestant provided their respective dads with a special shout-out.
The next game, Dick name, asked the contestants to provide a Trump-esque nickname for various politicians. At the close of the round, in the spirit of Father’s Day, Hardwick opted not to eliminate any of the contestants.
In the night’s For the Win, Hardwick presented the three with an 83-year-old postcard, featuring a creepy, old house and the words “Sunday morning will be okay.” Transitioning to the challenge, Hardwick asked his contestants to come up with their own unsettling postcard. Receiving the most applause with “Is this the first time you’ve touched a poison postcard? I’m guessing yes. Goodnight,” Benson won the internet just in time for Father’s Day.
