Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer Step Up to the Challenge

On the April 20 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Melissa McCarthy, 49, and Octavia Spencer, 47, took part in the show's signature "BFF Showdown." But this wasn’t your ordinary quiz show—it was a virtual edition, with a twist. These two powerhouse actresses decided to spice things up by testing the limits of their friendship knowledge. With Jimmy Fallon as the host, the stage was set for a night full of laughs and surprises.

The Questions Begin: College Days

As Jimmy Fallon kicked off the game, he asked the pair a series of questions designed to test their knowledge about one another. The first question was for Melissa: "Where did Octavia go to college?" Confidently, Melissa guessed, “Uh, I don’t think she went to school.” Octavia quickly chimed in, saying, “Absolutely, I went to school!” Melissa tried again, joking, “OK, I’m getting like a Fort Lauderdale University kind of feel.” But nope, Octavia clarified in a playful tone, “No, it’s an easy one, Melissa. Auburn! I went to Auburn.” Clearly, Melissa wasn’t hitting the mark, but the laughter from the audience and the banter between the two made it all worth it.

He’s not my cousin.” The audience erupted in laughter as the two friends continued their playful banter. It was clear that even the simplest questions could lead to some unexpected answers.
