4:00 pm
it is a caftan. how did i know that? i mean, i just know my fashion. - you do. - just kidding. for those who don't know, margaret actually told me what that was. in the interest of full disclosure, i didn't actually know what a caftan was before. i thought that was when a baby cow stood in the sun for too long. [theme music] announcer: it's "celebrity sleepover!"rgar, goes behind the veil of being a comedian. mtv "the challenge: all stars" come to play a treacherous game of wits. keep the lights on! johnny and comedian anna roisman tell a scary story. now, here's your host, johnny bananas!
4:01 pm
welcome to "celebrity sleepover," where only acceptable, but preferred because they'reng a statement, my first guest is an assassin on stage and the host of "the margaret cho podcast." please welcome the fabulous margaret cho! margaret cho, i would like to welcome you to my, uh, well-decorated man cave. i love it. thank you. and where are you coming to us from today? i'm in my house in los angeles. and who is this fabulous little guest you decided to bring on with you? this is lucia katerina. she is a 5 pound chihuahua dalmatian, so she's a very long chihuahua. it's going to be difficult though if she misbehaves. i mean, that's a tough-- that's a lot to spit out at once. you have like a short, and you just call her lucci? when she's bad, she gets her korean name, which is cho ru cha. cho lu cha! cho ru cha! that's her korean name. she gets scared. yeah. margaret, you're a stand-up comedian.
4:02 pm
you have a prolific stand-up career, but you've recently made the shift over to the podcasting world. how's that been? it's interesting. and it's can do during this time. i've always befriended people that i know a going. a good example of that would be awkwafina. like, i sort of knew about her when she was kind of coming up and i was like, oh, i wanted to work with her and do stuff. and then also jonathan van ness is another example of somebody that i knew well before all of his fame. you're like a muse or almost like a talent scout. and you're almost using your podcast as a platform to introduce them to- to the rest of the world. yes, i think that's exactly a good way to put it. and i really enjoy that. i have a friend who's even more asian. her name is [hisses] how do you spell that? is that-- it's just like it's sounds. [hisses louder] for you, comedy, do you consider it something that you find joy in that comes naturally to you?
4:03 pm
or do you kind of consider comedy a job? it's both. it can be a job, for sure. some of the constraints of it are very felt right now during the pandemic because we can't go on tour. and it is an addiction because you get this incredible dopamine, endorphin rush when you're performing that can't be replicated anywhere. and so it is a challenge, you know, especially for some of us who suffer from depression who sort of like really kind of self-medicate through performance. that's really challenging. that's a lot of comedians, too. comedy, though, in my opinion, it seems like comedy used to always be a safe space. you could make fun of anything, anyone, at any time, and it was ok. yes, it's hard because part of being a comedian is to be offensive. and with cancel culture being in such full effect, especially now, i think what it does is that it limits what we're able to do. but at the same time, it just makes you be a better comedian.
4:04 pm
you just have to be more sk phrase things, and it's really about the intention behind the joke, which i think is really good for the art form. maybe not necessarily good for some different individuals who are experiencing that kind of "cancellation." i mean, if anything, the way we should look at it is it's a positive because we have evolved. exactly. i've been able to watch myself grow up on television. i've been able to make my mistakes and learn and grow from them, and i that's what should be thinktaken away from it.rtant. yes, exactly. like pretty quickly, i think. so i think we're a pretty forgiving society, even though it doesn't seem like that at times. how has social media changed your life, both privately and publicly? well, it's just makes you very involved with whatever's happening. and i love that we have this connection with everybody.
4:05 pm
that you can connect with everybody on social media at the same time. and i- i think that's really powerful. isn't it also a double-edged sword, though? because you're also opening yourself of negativity.le world yes, it can be very damaging and destructive. and then so, like, you want to be able to have a sort of a buffer in there. i love to block. and i also love to know that it's really my choice in whether to engage or not. so you're a blocker? i'm a muter because i don't like giving haters the satisfaction of knowing-- yes. --that i saw and reacted to what they said and they got to me. so i just mute 'em, and then they can tweet at me forever, and they think that i'm not seeing it. so. - i love it. whatever works so your, like, sanity isn't affected, that's all it's about. margaret, i'm going to need you to stick around. but when we come back, i've got a very special surprise for you, because i'm putting a new twist on an old sleepover tradition. and you're not going to want to miss this one.
4:06 pm

4:13 pm
it was when she started forgetting things. i didn't know how much mom was struggling. i love caring for him. but i can't do it alone anymore. home care with an entire support team. with thekey, mom won't have to move. they'd play her favorite music, cook her favorite foods... his days will be filled with joyful moments. she'd have her dignity and i wouldn't have to do this by myself.
4:14 pm
welcome back to "celebrity sleepover." i am beyond excited to welcome my next sleepover guests. they're all legends. we got the cadillac og, syrus. and we got the godfather himself, mark long. let's go, baby. i literally handpicked my three all-time favorites, fan favorites, the ones that we knew everyone was going to love. but they weren't available, so we had to get the three of you instead. and mark, buddy, we had to get a wide-angle lens to fit you in, dude. you look like someone carved you out of a block of ice. this is what i wear to bed, baby.
4:15 pm
this revamp of challenge: so i came organically dressed.n let's show 'em how the ogs used to roll! male castmember (voiceover): this legacy must go on. yeah, so when i put out the initial tweet, it got- th. paramount plus were like, it'll just seem weird if this thing goes and you're not actually in the cast. so i kind of hung up my producer hat for the moment. and when i showed up to argentina like all the rest, i didn't know who the host was. i didn't know the format of the game. so i was just as much as a cast member as everyone else. for me personally, the past definitely came back. i thought that i was going to be cool with everyone, and i definitely got into a fight or two. you gonna dig up some old alliances. you gonna dig up some old enemies. you gonna see the drama. gonna see the funny. gonna see the bad. you gonna see everything. and we going to keep it comical but yet challenging. and that's the challenge, baby. now, since we all love a good challenge,
4:16 pm
tonight we are playing everybody's favorite: trivia. and the stakes could not be higher. for this edition of sleepover squares, you're all going to be asked a series of questions. once you have your answer, you're gonna write it down. we're going to be playing a game called pie face. pie face is like a jack-in-the-box. it could hit you in the face after one click. it could take up to five. so you never know when you're going to get pied in the face. the person at the end with the least amount of pies to the face, wins. do i need pen and paper? everyone get pen and paper. and mark, get some smaller shorts while you're at it, too. so we're going to go with our first question. we're going to start off with something easy. on the back of my challenge helmet, there are some daggers that i have covered with my hand. these daggers represent how many challenges i have won. down how many daggers i've got on the back of my helmet here. four.

[splat] - uh! wow. listen up real quick. i just want to thank you all for coming to my sleepover and being such good sports, with the exception of trishelle, who decided to bring a face shield to a pie in the face contest. i'm actually glad that you lost this. i just want to wish the best of luck to all of you. tj? stop. who invited this guy? hi! there he is! bananas, you actually did a really, really good job today. but unfortunately, there's only one "challenge" host,

[muffled screaming] oh, no! a pie, baby! yes, yes, yes! yes, tj. you're welcome. between hanging out with the legendary margaret cho to getting pied in the face with some of my "challenge" comrades, this hands-down has been a night to remember. all right now, coming up, a spooky tale that will make you rethink your next zoom call. [theme music] [theme music]
4:21 pm
4:22 pm
4:23 pm
now, it's that time of night where the lights get dimmed, fireplace gets lit, and i entertain my guests with a spooky tale. and after watching mark long get pied in the face, i have the perfect one in mind. let me tell you a little story about vanity. do we need it? of course we do. does it take over our lives? damn right it does. but how vain is too vain? that's a question we're going to explore. this is the story of the ringlight. long ago during the pandemic, people were working from home. the ring light became one of the most popular items on the market. it made you glow, whether you were in a meeting or catching up with a family member virtually. the ring light had been around for a while,
4:24 pm
but now became a necessity. but not necessarily helpful, right? with work from home orders in place, anna was confined to her tiny new york apartment. social distancing meant no contact with anyone other than her computer screen. after realizing she wasn't as lit in meetings as other people, she asked a co-worker, how do you look so good in these meetings? her co-worker said, i have a ring light. everyone does. so she decided to buy one. she didn't realize this was the secret weapon of quarantine. and she ordered it. when it arrived, she just couldn't contain her excitement. she ripped open the box, tossed aside the manual, and plugged it right in. [buzzing] it was like magic. her skin was glowing, her hair was flowing. somehow, it even looked as she was wearing a full face of makeup. she didn't realize the power of a ring light, and how incredible and powerful it would make her feel.
4:25 pm
her confidence was higher than ever, and she felt even more glamorous than she'd ever felt before. she was taking this light to everything, zoom meetings, cooking in the kitchen, working out. she even slept with it in case she had a late night or felt inspired to take a selfie from bed. thing is, her coworkers all saw this as normal. someone asked in a meeting, is there something different about you? you're smiling a lot. you seem a lot happier. she responded humbly, it must just be my ring light. they didn't see this magic that she saw, but they saw her confidence rise. one day something was off. she gasped in the mirror at what she saw. the ring light had burned her. this was a combination of sunburn and trump, kind of. needless to say, she didn't sleep with the ring light
4:26 pm
when she looked to see how the ring light was hurting her, [buzzing] someone crawled out through the center of the ring right. have you seen "the ring?" it was like that. who are you? you've overstepped your ring light boundary. did you even read the manual? [buzzing] anna stared at her wide-eyed and scared. it's just a light! it just plugs in, she said. you were late to the ring light game, and then you abused its power. you're letting the light take over your personality. you're supposed to fnot get lost in it.l, plus it's only allowed to be used 30 to 37 minutes per day, max, in a medium to warm climate at, at least four feet away. i got to go. another online make up influencer just burned
4:27 pm
a hole through her cheek. so she learned her lesson. she moved her desk in front of a window and vowed to never ring light herself again. and realized that real beauty comes from within. well, that was a sizzler of a tale. let this be a lesson to all you influencers out there. only order prime. and speaking of prime, i'm off to order a killer caftan for my next sleepover. so here's to another awesome slumber party. this is your boy, johnny bananas.
