Here is this person's story in their own words.

"If you saw Spike Lee's movie 'BlacKkKlansman,'

you already know why I'm up here.

In the late 1970s, I was a detective

in the Colorado Springs Police Department.

After seeing an ad for the KKK in the newspaper,

I decided to infiltrate.

Slight problem ‐‐ I'm black."

[ Laughter ]

"So, for months, I would communicate with the KKK

via telephone and send my partner, who was white,

to their meetings posing as me.

They loved me so much,

Well, they were planning to burn several crosses there

in Colorado Springs,

do a demonstration down our main street, Nevada Avenue.

Okay.

Number 3, did you just use your own voice,

or did you create a voice?

No, I was talking in my own voice.

And they just assumed they were talking to a white gentleman?

Yes.

Interesting.

How did you select your partner to go to be you in person?

Was he matching your voice then?

His voice was distinctly different than mine.

So it didn't even matter? No.

Well, they were just dumb. They're just idiots.

They was just dumb. Yeah. They were just dumb.

Yeah. They were just dumb. Okay. Great.

Jason: Now, wait a minute.

Are we doing character assassination

on the Ku Klux Klan?

Yes! Yes.

[ Laughter ]

Anthony: Dermot.

Number 2, did you find that working with the Ku Klux Klan

was trying your patience?

No, it was actually kind of hilarious and fun at times.

[ Laughter ]

It's funny watching white foolishness. Yes.

[ Laughter ] Dermot: Funny watching white foolishness.

Anthony: Jason?

Number 2, was there an event that was created in the movie

that did not happen in real life?

Ooh!

My relationship with Patsy ‐‐ I was married.

Was there an event created for the movie

that did not happen in your real experience?

Yeah, the bombing was not accurate to my story.

Anthony: 3? Same question to you.

Flip was not Jewish. The real person was not Jewish.

Amanda: Number 1, um...

did you ever have to put on a Klan robe?

No. My partner did that.

And how did he feel when he did it?

Oh, he was really upset about it, you know, but it's a job.

We had a job to do, and so it had to be done.

I was gonna say. That's good. "Why'd you pull me over?"

Okay. Dermot.

Why don't you start us off with the questions?

Alright, Impostor Number 1,

where did your costume come from?

Did you make it, or did the wardrobe department here

on the show provide it for you?

[ Laughter ]

Nope, I made this costume,

and I made most of what's up on the stage.

Fantastic.

Impostor Number 2, why did you let her make you that?

What are you?

[ Laughs ]

I am No‐Face, "Spirited Away."

Abbi, have anything you want to ask them?

This is a lot going on.

Alright, 1, what does a construction consist of?

You can sew. You can make armor.

You can do special effects with prosthetics.

I like to do everything, honestly.

Abbi: 2?

Working with plastic, heat, minor welding sometimes.

I mean, it really depends. Welding.

There's all different kinds of materials

and all different types of ways to make a costume

and materials to use.

What was the first cosplay costume you ever made?

One of the earliest cartoons I ever saw was Mr. Magoo.

I was struck with it, and I decided to try it.

[ Laughter ]

You were struck with Mr. Magoo?

Yes, sir.

Number 3, where do you derive your characters from?

Obviously, movies, TV shows,

and then just art and anything that inspires me.

Number 1, how many contestants, approximately,

did you beat out when you got your championship?

Number 1: So, the championship is held in different heats.

Each country then sent a representative,

and there was 10 of us total.

What are you guys judged on?

Number 2?

Technical difficulty of our costume,

what it's made of, how well it's made.

It depends on which category we're in.

I do what I consider to be performance art,

and so we're judged by performance,

if that's the category, et cetera.

I have a question, Number 3.

What costume did you win with?

I had a Queen Elizabeth costume.

Ohh. So, what made it heavy?

It was actually wooden peignés,

and so I had to build them out, and they were really heavy,

and then they had to be structurally sound,

so that's why it was so heavy. Ohh.

Number 3, can you tell me what is the difference

between what you do and the guy in the Elmo suit

in front of the Kodak theater do?

What's the difference between them?

This is an art, and so I take a concept

and I run with my concept,

and I create and do very detailed work on it.

It's not a costume I buy [Chuckles] from a store.

[ Cheers and applause ] Uh‐huh.

Number 1, what really differentiates what he's doing

But my Olympic dreams were put on hold after a serious injury

nearly stopped me from ever competing again.

Luckily, I made a full recovery, competed in the Olympics,

Steele....

What makes the perfect dive?

First, it's how high you jump,

also looking into the intricacies of the form

within your dive, as well as how you hit the water.

Okay.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ] Yeah. Anthony: Number 2, same question.

Yeah, pretty much just that ‐‐ just having good form,

having enough strength when you launch off the platform,

and making sure you hit the water as vertical as possible

and making as little splash as possible.

3?

Yeah, you want to jump high,

you want to be pretty when you're flipping,

and you want to go in the water with no splash.

‐Alright. ‐Okay.

I want to be pretty when I'm flipping.

Abbi: Yeah. I know that.

You're always pretty, Dermot. I was about to say.

You're pretty frickin' pretty.

Number 2, what was your almost‐career‐ending injury?

It happened when I was 12 years old.

I was doing a 3 1/2 reverse somersault,

and I hit my head on the platform.

Ooh.

My coach actually rescued me

'cause my scalp had basically cracked open.

But they were able to bandage me up,

and I only had a minor concussion.

Anthony: Number 3?

Yeah, when I was 12, I hit my head on the board

doing a reverse 3 1/2,

and, you know, falling 33 feet onto your head,

it rips your head clean in half,

so my coach had to get in the water and hold my head together.

[ Gasps ] Number 1.

So, I was doing a 3 1/2 reverse somersault...

[ Laughter ]

And, uh... Same thing happened to you?

Yeah, I hit the top of my head on the platform,

the 10‐meter platform, and that wasn't pretty.

Like, what's your training schedule like, Number 2?

It's about five hours a day, six days a week

of just dry gymnastics, diving practice on the harness,

and then diving afternoon and weight training in between.

What about you, Number 1?

Of course there's diving training in the pool,

but also in a specialized training facility

where there's pads and trampolines

that you practice your flips on.

And, Number 3?

There's a lot of diving in the water

'cause that's what the sport is.

Spoken like a true Steele Johnson!

Number 3: But there's also a lot of gymnastics.

There's jumps and flips on a trampoline, flips on the ground,

and a lot of weightlifting, as well.

Jason: Number 1, what was the first part

of your recovery regime after the accident?

Ooh! Alexander!

I mean, I think just kind of understanding

what had actually happened

and, I guess, coming to terms with the fact

that I'd be out of it for a while

My name is Nick Unger, and I'm not a yo‐yo world champion,

Well, I think people would be pretty mad

Let's take a look at the leaderboard

before we enter the final round.

Amanda: Take a look at that.

Oh!

Amanda's top of the board, with 20 points.

Abbi, Dermot, and Jason have nothing.

But this is the final round,

and the final round is worth double points.

‐Yeah. Okay. ‐Wow. ‐Ohh.

Alright, so if you all three answer correctly

and Amanda answers incorrectly, it's a four‐way tie.

‐Yeah. ‐Oh.

And whenever there's a tie, my mother is the tiebreaker.

So you better start sucking up.

Ah. Hi, Mama.

Let's meet our final guests.

Abbi: Whoa.

Contestants, please introduce yourself.

I was attacked by a severed snake head.

[ Audience murmurs ]

I was attacked by a severed snake head.

I was attacked by a severed snake head.

Anthony: Here is this person's story in their own words.

"Do you know that when a snake is decapitated,

its head can still function for hours?

I found out the hard way.

When I saw a venomous snake in my yard,

I thought the safest move for my family would be to kill it.

So out came the shovel and ‐‐ sorry, animal lovers ‐‐

off came its head.

I went to remove the snake's body,

but when I reached for its head,

it jumped up and sank its fangs into me."

[ Audience screams ]

Ooh! No, sir. No.

[ Laughs nervously ] No.

No.

"I passed out and was taken to the hospital.

I'll always be thankful that I survived,

but the whole experience left me pretty rattled."

Oh. Oh!

[ Laughter ]

Contestants, please take a seat.

♪♪

[ Applause ]

Amanda. Get us going.

What type of snake was it, Number 1?

It was a Mojave green rattlesnake.

Number 2?

A Western diamondback.

Number 3.

A Southern Pacific rattlesnake.

All right, y'all know your snakes.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, okay, Number 2.

Where were you bit at on your body?

The right hand.

Oh, you got all your fingers?

‐No. ‐Oh.

No, I thought it was a gang sign when he put his hand up,

but it was the fingers that were missing.

Dermot: It was not a gang sign. [ Laughter ]

No, distinctly not a gang sign.

That's not "West Side."

What else did it do to you?

Nerve damage.

Oh, okay.

What about you, Number 3?

You get some nerve damage or messed up some kind of way?

I have nerve damage also.

What about you, Number 1?

The snake bit me in my hand, as well.

[ Audience gasps ] And I also have nerve damage.

Oh.

Jason: Number 3, do you have anything

that would be an obvious lasting effect of the bite?

I have nerve damage in my leg.

But it doesn't require ‐‐ I notice Number 2 has a cane.

I have a limp, but I don't need a cane.

Mm‐hmm.

Why is the nerve damage only located in your leg region?

I was bitten on the thigh.

But the snake head was on the ground.

What was your thigh doing so close to the ground?

Well, I knelt down to take a look at it.

I thought it was dead.

Number 1, so, the snake is in the backyard,

and you just went and decapitated the head.

Walk us through that.

I was playing catch with my boys in the backyard,

and the ball rolled under the bush.

And so I used a shovel to get the ball out,

and to my surprise, I saw the snake,

and so, instinctively, I just hit the head, I see.

and I just ditched the shovel and ran away from it.

What kind of shovel?

A regular shovel. Regular shovel.

Regular shovel. I was thinking the same thing.

Was it a pointy‐nose shovel or a square?

That's what I'm getting at. Yes, the pointy‐nose shovel.

Yeah. So what you mean is a spade, actually.

A spade.

Number 3, would you describe the moment

that you discovered the snake also?

I was working in the garden, and I saw the snake come out

from under my blackberry bushes.

And since I already had the spade in my hand,

I just used it.

Number 2? Number 2: I felt threatened,

Kind of cornered my wife up in the corner of my house,

so it was aggressive.

I took the head off.

Abbi: Number 2, can I just ask to elaborate

on the snake getting your wife in a corner?

She was working in our Zen garden,

and I was mowing, and I heard her yell for me.

It kind of pinned her. It was an aggressive snake.

I got grandchildren, so figured it'd be safer

to take the head off.

You have grandchildren?

I do. You look great.

Thanks. Dermot: Nice. You look good.

What kind of mower ‐‐ a motor or a hand...

I was on a riding lawnmower.

Did the idea of driving over the snake occur to you?

No, 'cause she was working in our Zen garden,

and it's surrounded by rocks and plants and flowers,

and if I ran anything over, my wife would have kill me. Yeah, a Zen garden, you know?

You don't want to go in there with a lawnmower.

You want to keep it kind of peaceful.

Hey, back down, man! Zen garden!

♪♪

Amanda: Serenity now!

[ Laughs ]

Anthony: Alright. Time's up.

Let's see who the panel thinks was attacked by a snake.

Gosh. This is hard.

Mama, who do you think it is and why?

I'm going with Number 2 'cause he look like he got nerve damage.

[ Laughter ]

No! No, no, no, no, no!

Every now and then, his arm shake.

Audience, who do you think it is?

[ Audience shouting ]

Okay. Amanda?

I'm thinking it's Number 3,

only because my mom gardens

and snakes run up on her all the time.

[ Laughter ]

And that seemed like a very plausible scenario.

Right.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Dermot, who did you pick and why?

Dermot: Oh, thank you.

Well, I picked the real guy this time.

Oh.

[ Laughter ] Thank you.

Feel like Number 1 has the right amount

of snake‐bite‐ by‐a‐severed‐head injury.

Uh‐huh. Right. He's got just the one finger missing.

It's, like, the right amount. Amanda: Yeah, yeah.

You got none, you got too much, and then you got just right.

Abbi.

Number 2, something happened.

[ Laughter ] Right.

Dermot: [ Laughing ] But you won't say exactly what.

Just turn the wrong number around already.

I know. I definitely have the wrong choice.

[ Laughter ]

I know it. I'm owning it.

So turn it around.

Finally!

1. Amanda: Alright.

Anthony: 1.

Jason, who do you think it is and why?

Alright, Number 1, I actually believe you, sir,

but I did not vote for you, and I'll tell you why.

[ Laughter ]

'Cause I have been wrong about [bleep] all night long.

Me too!

So I went with Number 2.

Anthony: Alright.
