Leah Remini: We have an F and Y and here’s your clue: “Section for an incident that may be too giddy.”
Trope-tan: Funny?
Leah Remini: Is it Funny?
(correct answer sound)
Leah Remini: Good job! You also solved your third word in a row, so we’ll give you bonus points as well.


  • In most of the episodes, one contestant may answer a clue with a VERY wrong answer. While some of these moments are listed below, you may notice this moment on one episode if they answer a clue that’s beyond the letter limit (6 letter word over 5) or if the answer is absurd for the clue.
  • If The King of Queens is one of the categories, you can immediately trust yourself that the contestants won’t select it at all. It’s becoming a running gag, to say the least!
    • It’s even more funnier when you realize that Leah Remini was casted as one of the main characters for that show, specifically Carrie Heffernan.
  • If a producer interjects at a random point in the episode, expect some chuckles from Leah.
  • One episode gave a clue to "Shaggy's canine detective partner", and the contestant blanks out and calls out Shannon Tweed. He then mentions it would be "the stupidest answer in the history of game shows."
  • A category names itself Saved By The Bell and Leah takes a reminisce of her character (Stacey Carosi) in the show. However, she gets disappointed that Stacey is not shown as a picture in the crossword. A producer quips, "You want to be in the puzzle, but you don't even remember being on the show."
  • When a clue gave "Major organ mentioned the most in love songs", the contestant answers with Harp three times and house two times. Leah is in disbelief. The next contestant answers the correct answer, Heart, and Leah exits her podium to point out a picture of the "heart".
    Leah Remini: (Contestant), do you see this shit up here?
  • November 22, 2021: Leah reads a clue... and she gets flabbergasted when she says the answer indirectly.
    Leah Remini: We have an O and a T, and here's your clue. O Brother, where art thou? (she covers her mouth in disbelief after noticing her error)
    Contestant named Erin: But I knew it. But I knew it! But I knew it!
    (Leah hides under the podium in embarrassment)
    Producer: Leah...!
    Erin: Do I get extra points for that?
  • A compilation in which Leah reminds contestants that "this is not Jeopardy".
  • An episode gave out the clue "The Simpson’s pacifier sucker". The contestant answered "Mamifer".
  • At one point, Leah opts to give the losing contestant a mint. The producer also joins in and asks if the contestant thinks that Nancy Sinatra was not famous enough - but the contestant quips their Spanish knowledge as an answer.
  • August 1, 2022: Two questionable answers appear at the same episode. To start it off, a contestant answered "chinchilla" to "Boa you might be caught dead wearing". The next contestant manages to get it right with "Constrictor".note 
    • A few solves later results in a different contestant cringing up when getting a clue to "She named her cat Kitty Purry". It was a dead giveaway, but it gets the response of "Katy Curry". The contestant who answered chinchilla said the answer made them feel better.note 
    • During the second round of the same episode, one of Leah’s earrings also fell off, prompting a contestant who is bidding everything on the Wager Word as the equalizer for making her nervous.
  • At the end of one bonus round, Leah actually notices some comments about the show; mostly about her needing to read the clue quickly. She then repeats “I DON’T NEED TO!”
  • September 28, 2022: Hilarity Ensues as it is Leah Remini’s BFF Night, but the bonus round by Taylor Danes breaks the mold:
    Leah Remini: (finishing the last clue) It completes the phrase, one hit…
    Taylor Danes: Wonder. (long pause occurs as she thinks she’s finished) Done.
    Leah Remini: GO TO THE NEXT ONE!
    Taylor Danes: Tropical Birds!
    Leah Remini: CALL IT!
    Taylor Danes: Move, one down!note 
  • At one moment, Leah asks the contestant to where would they like to go for the next clue, and the contestant says “home” by accident.
