Young Hollywood

What's up, guys? I'm Molly Argu for Young Hollywood, and I am joined on the couch in studio today by a guy who knows a thing or two about stories.

Young Hollywood

Chris Colfer.

Chris Colfer

Hello.

Young Hollywood

We are going to play a game, and I'm really nervous because I'm up against you.

Young Hollywood

And you're an expert on all things, Brothers Grimm.

Chris Colfer

It's true.

Young Hollywood

So the name of this game is Fairy Tale Trivia.

Young Hollywood

I'm going to ask you the first question, and if you get it wrong, which you probably won't, but if you do, then I'll choose a drink for you to drink.

Chris Colfer

This is terrifying because my reputation is on the line with this.

Young Hollywood

That's true.

Chris Colfer

Like, like you, you know, it's, you're still gonna be cute and, you know, whatever if you get one of these wrong, but like I'm like, my lose my readership, so this is very

Chris Colfer

And if I get them all wrong, then I might be drinking a bunch of weird drinks.

Young Hollywood

We we don't know what's in there.

Young Hollywood

We're both, oh, for O here.

Young Hollywood

Ready?

Chris Colfer

Yes.

Young Hollywood

How many apples are falling on the cover of The Wishing Spell?

Chris Colfer

Oh my god.

Chris Colfer

That this is this is ridiculous.

Chris Colfer

I believe there are five?

Young Hollywood

No.

Young Hollywood

That's not fairy tale trivia.

Young Hollywood

Wait, I have, I have a picture to prove.

Young Hollywood

How many are there?

Young Hollywood

One less than five, so you were very close.

Chris Colfer

Oh, I was really close.

Chris Colfer

Okay.

Young Hollywood

See the four?

Chris Colfer

I see it now.

Chris Colfer

No, I think there's a fifth one, you just don't see it.

Chris Colfer

It's invisible.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, it's invisible one.

Young Hollywood

Okay, so I get to pick a drink for you to drink.

Chris Colfer

Please be gentle with me.

Young Hollywood

I will.

Young Hollywood

This brown one.

Chris Colfer

Oh, perfect.

Young Hollywood

Was why not.

Chris Colfer

Right.

Chris Colfer

Of all the colors.

Young Hollywood

All right.

Chris Colfer

Okay, so I just, I just down it.

Young Hollywood

All right.

Young Hollywood

Do you have any idea what it is?

Chris Colfer

I hope it was coffee.

Young Hollywood

Look on the bottom.

Chris Colfer

Black coffee.

Chris Colfer

Okay.

Young Hollywood

Is that count?

Young Hollywood

Is that count?

Young Hollywood

Great, great, cool.

Young Hollywood

Great.

Young Hollywood

Cool.

Young Hollywood

All right.

Young Hollywood

One down.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Chris Colfer

All right.

Chris Colfer

Okay.

Chris Colfer

This is so, this is rigged.

Young Hollywood

What did Hansel and Gretel's father do for a living?

Chris Colfer

Oh, I know there was something in the story about using the trees with wood.

Chris Colfer

So I'm gonna guess that maybe he was like a lumber collector.

Young Hollywood

I think that's close enough.

Young Hollywood

Wood cutter.

Chris Colfer

Oh, woodcutter.

Chris Colfer

Does that count?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, wood chopper.

Young Hollywood

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

I have your next one.

Chris Colfer

Oh god.

Young Hollywood

When the witch burned, what did Hansel and Gretel bring home with them?

Chris Colfer

So I think they brought home her jewelry.

Young Hollywood

Yes.

Young Hollywood

Okay, great, great.

Young Hollywood

That's what I thought it was.

Young Hollywood

All right.

Chris Colfer

My turn.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Young Hollywood

Go for it.

Chris Colfer

All right, okay.

Chris Colfer

Besides her hair, what is another source of Rapunzel's magic powers?

Chris Colfer

Oh, I think I know this one because of the ending.

Chris Colfer

She meets her true love and kisses him, but he's blind, and I believe her kiss heals his blindness.

Chris Colfer

So I don't know if that she has a magic kiss or that she can cure blindness.

Young Hollywood

It was her tears, but her tears cured his blindness.

Chris Colfer

Oh.

Young Hollywood

So what did cure the blindness.

Young Hollywood

I'm very impressed you knew that.

Chris Colfer

Tears.

Young Hollywood

So maybe like half a shot.

Chris Colfer

I'll just do it.

Young Hollywood

I mean, you've already done a shot.

Young Hollywood

So I'll just, I'll just make it fun.

Chris Colfer

Oh, these all look delicious compared to the one you made me do.

Chris Colfer

Um, let's do this one.

Chris Colfer

I think that one that's that's fun for me.

Young Hollywood

Yeah.

Okay.

Young Hollywood

Do you think it's lemon juice?

Lemon juice.
