Tessitore: I want to sit in on the brainstorming for season 3.

I couldn't agree more.

I want holes literally called, like, The Blender.

Yeah. Where it's like a giant smoothie machine.

Mm‐hmm. You go into the blender,

and giant blades are moving around,

and you hit the pulse/blend...

And I'm not even really paying attention.

Right. I'm looking at my phone.

Yeah. [ Laughing ]

I'm just doing this.

The Blender.

Yeah.

Welcome to "Holey Moley," where we're moments away

from what is sure to be another incredible night

of extreme mini golf.

I have a hole. Here's my hole.

My hole is called Circus Circus.

Circus Circus.

You putt... Yeah.

...and then you can either take the trapeze...

Yeah. ...or get shot out of a cannon.

A cannon! Get shot out of cannon.

And you go over ‐‐ go over a lake.

Yeah. And you got to make it to the other side.

The shot out of the cannon is great.

Right? Nobody does that anymore.

It's a classic. Yeah.

Well, here's how this is gonna work.

Round 1, eight golfers face off

in a series of head‐to‐head match‐ups.

The winners are gonna move on to sudden‐death round number 2.

Only the best survive to the final round

and play for The Golden Putter,

the coveted plaid jacket,

and, most important,

a spot in the season finale on Steph Curry's masterpiece,

the Tomb of Nefertiti,

where someone's gonna make a putt worth 250 grand.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Here are tonight's golfers,

ready to face whatever the night throws at them.

Let's check out our first hole.

A lot of people work on "Holey Moley,"

and when nature calls,

well, they head to Hole Number Two.

Golfers have to putt their ball down a 30‐foot, narrow strip,

then they got to make a run for it, Rob,

because the occupants of the Porta Puttys

start opening up the doors,

and when that happens,

you can get knocked into the drink.

And if you go in the drink, it's a stroke penalty.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Here we go ‐‐ the crowd and the players pumped

for this next matchup on Hole Number Two.

Zoe Klopfer's a 25‐year‐old from Newport Beach, California,

and she'll be up against Samuel Babba

from Oceanside, California.

Hi. My name is Zoe Klopfer.

I'm 25 years old.

I'm a fitness influencer.

I love making videos, so lighting is a must.

So I have a ring light. I bring it with me.

You gotta get the good selfies, you know?

'Cause you always got to post content.

My opponents should fear me.

I mean, they're gonna be like,

"Oh, she's nothing to worry about.

She just, like, takes photos."

But that's good, because then they're not gonna expect it.

Yeah, I'm ready to win this.

What's up? My name's Sam Babba.

I'm from Oceanside, California, and I'm an optician.

I've been playing mini golf for as long as I can hold a club.

I really probably should've focused a little more

on the training activities for the obstacles,

but I'm just hoping my putting game

will carry this thick body through this course.

Today's my birthday,

and I'm here to party on my birthday.

The only way I'm going home is with that W.

Put your money on your boy.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Here is Samuel Babba, 30‐year‐old optician.

With glasses like that? He does.

We had glasses like that in the Marine Corps,

but they were called birth‐control glasses.

[ Laughs ]

Smooth stroke, but I think he's gonna pin himself

behind that barricade.

He may have a play here.

Now let's see if he's light of foot.

This is the test.

Zoe: Alright.

Have a good swim.

Tessitore: Here goes Samuel.

He's already stumbling. And he makes it through.

Oh, no! What happened?

Until he gets past the doors!

This guy's all over the place.

I mean, Samuel Babba

could not run in a straight line at all.

He was, like, spray‐painting his way down the course there.

That's a stroke penalty.

That was a regrettable run.

I mean, let's cut to it. That was ‐‐ Yeah, that was ‐‐

That was the most bizarre, weird thing I ever saw.

That thing was like...

Oh, here is Zoe Klopfer.

Have a nice swim, Zoe!

Not today!

Zoe Klopfer ‐‐ now, she is a fitness influencer.

Not a trainer. Not a trainer.

Not an instructor.

An influencer.

An influencer.

Her tee shot here...

That was pathetic. Yeah.

I mean, that thing went so far,

she may have dented a Porta Potty.

Now, that's not a stroke penalty,

but it does mean that Zoe will be putting from the drop zone.

And now she has to make the run.

You know, a name like Klopfer...

Yes. ...that sounds like a high‐end stereo system.

It does, from Germany.

[ German accent ] Would you like the Klopfer, perhaps?

Yeah.

Or the Biesensnauser?

Which one will you prefer?

[ Laughs ]

Here she goes! 2.5 seconds to get across.

[ Normal voice ] Ohh! Oh, Riggle!

Oh, no! Riggle!

Aah!

That was brutal.

Her whole entire body went flush right into the door.

Whack!

Oh, that is so good.

Ohh!

Brutal. Just... Look at this.

...Phi Slamma Jamma right there.

That's a stroke penalty.

I bet she's got to have blue paint on her nose right now.

There's a dent.

Zoe Klopfer. Dented.

Dented. [ Groans ]

Don't mind me.

Now, what is going on? Why is she doing squats?

Getting warm.

Oh, she's influencing. She's influencing, Joe.

Is that what influencing is right there?

We are seeing fitness influencing

right in front of our eyes, Riggle.

Watch th‐‐

I'm a fitness influencer, too, Joe.

Will you give me a little right there with the ‐‐

That is good.

More on the heels, though. Get off the toes.

Little more on the heels. Ow.

That is great right there.

I just influenced.

Samuel Babba.

Remember, Sam didn't make it to the green,

so he is away.

Ooh.

Look at this position he gave himself.

Doesn't have to deal with that final ridge at all.

Now, remember, Zoe's ball fell in the drink,

so she's putting from the drop zone.

This is a tough shot.

Still very excited, still very optimistic.

She clears the first ridge,

but there's not enough drive to get over the second one.

Oh, and she's not gonna be pleased with that.

Klopfer with the ridge right in front.

♪♪

Boy, that ridge really moves things down the line,

doesn't it? It sure does.

It's Sam's birthday today,

so this could be the perfect way to celebrate

if he sinks this putt.

And now he puts it in.

Now look at this celebration from Babba.

He's doing the pony.

He's riding the pony to celebrate

on Hole Number Two.

Wow. He's really feeling it now.

So, optician Sam Babba moves into round number 2

and a step closer to that quarter million dollar prize

in the season finale.

And now "Behind the Hole" with Stephen Curry,

the "Holey Moley" golf pro.

I call that hole Hole Number Two

because it was the second hole I built this season.

Nah, just kidding.

It's the toilets, 'cause number two.

And you probably guessed it ‐‐

I came up with the idea for this one

while I was...

playing mini golf.

What'd you think I was gonna say?

As we move on, let's take a closer look at our next hole.

For that, here's Jeannie.

Mai: Thanks, Joe. I am here at the famous

Slip N' Putt hole from season 1,

where we saw some of the best falling ‐‐

nope, I mean putting ‐‐

of all time.

Our golfers need to scramble up to the peak.

First one to the top gets the better ball position.

Then they'll hit their balls through the bear's legs

and down to the hole below.

Yo, this is a tough one, guys.

Let's go!

Whoo‐hoo!

Tessitore: We are ready for our Round 1 battle

between Connie Amarel and Gerard Dyson.

My name's Connie Amarel.

I'm from Lompoc, California.

I'm 65.

[ Laughs ]

I'm a children's book author,

and I bake lots of cookies.

Oh. I bake for a professional baseball team.

I bake Gopher Cookies.

They're molasses cookies.

I hope everyone loves them,

especially Steph, if he gets one.

Mwah!

Never underestimate the power of a cookie.

At ease, America. I'm Gerard Dyson,

a.k.a. Sergeant Swag.

38 years old,

and I plan on winning "Holey Moley."

I currently have the best golf channel on YouTube,

even though it's underrated.

I'm like the Kanye West of the golf videos.

I do it all.

I know "Holey Moley" looks fun,

but to Gerard Dyson, it's not a game.

I'm coming for you.

With swag.

Oh, you're on this side.

Riggle: I'll be honest, Joe,

I'm worried about Connie on this one.

This is one of the trickier,

more dangerous holes

we have here at "Holey Moley."

Tessitore: Please be safe, Connie.

Here they go.

Oh.

Gerard able to get to that first plateau,

and now...

what a run,

and then he goes down.

All the way down.

And Connie joins him.

Oh, no!

Poor Connie. There's Gerard.

He lunges for that ‐‐

You know, he's got the height advantage.

Gerard: Yeah, let's go, baby!

He's not getting much help.

Oh, the rope is giving away.

[ Laughs ]

Let's see if Gerard can utilize it.

He should have no problem.

Oh, right at the end, though, he falls.

Connie took a bad spill right there.

Ooh, ooh!

So, there is the win for Gerard Dyson.

Thank you, Gerard.

And with that, a helping hand for Connie Amarel.

Very nicely done.

Oh, I love you.

But it is Gerard Dyson who will have

the better putting position on top of that glacier.

What a gentleman.

Ooh‐whee.

So, Connie has a very tricky putt ahead of her,

as she is against the avalanche wall

and has to put it through the polar bear's legs.

Hey, what's that buffoon doing on the course again?

Who let him in here?

Course Marshal Joe.

Looks like he has a jacket and hat, per uzh.

I don't know if he has any pants on.

And if I'm a betting man, I'm gonna say no, Joe.

That's a cringe.

So, here's Connie Amarel.

It has to go through the polar bear's legs.

Here's the ricochet.

Tough shot.

And she does. And she does.

This could be in.

Oh, that was close.

Will it stay on the green?

Yes, it does.

Great start by the cookie lady.

What a sweet woman. She bakes cookies,

she writes kids books.

What did she make tonight?

Snickerdoodles, it looks like.

Oh, who doesn't like a snickerdoodle?

Get after that, Riggle.

So, here is first putt for Gerard Dyson.

Also known as Sergeant Swag.

He's able to putt from that elevated snowflake.

Yes.

Where the heck ‐‐ Did it go?

No, it backed up.

So, there's a mis‐hit off of the snowflake.

He's lost a golden opportunity.

So now Dyson, his second stroke here.

And this time, he puts it through the polar bear's legs

and down to the green below.

Hits off the back wall and retreats.

And now both will sit on their keister

and come down the mountain.

Gotta watch that wall at the end here.

Whoo!

Oh. That's what happens.

[ Laughing ] Whoa.

She got her shoe caught in there, Joe.

Tessitore: Shoe came off.

Left shoe is off of Connie.

Oh, no. I can't get my shoe back on.

While Connie finds her feet,

I suggest you go raid the cookie jar.

We'll be right back.

[ Laughs ]

Ooh! They got a little cinnamon in them.

Yeah. Isn't that nice? Nice touch.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."

While you were away,

we ate our fill of Connie's baked treats.

Oh, that's delicious, yeah.

Okay.

Gerard lies 2, Connie lies 1.

But when play resumed,

the cookie lady got off to a shaky start.

Ah! Riggle: No hesitation from Connie.

She just stepped up and fired away.

That kept Sergeant Swag in the mix.

Served our country.

Now trying to serve himself.

Runs it past.

This is a deathmatch!

Until Connie pulled the winning cookie

out of the bag.

Can she be the unexpected winner?

Oh! Oh, my God!

She does it. She does it!

The cookie lady does it.

Delivering not just on the snickerdoodles

but right here on Slip N' Putt.

She moves on to Round 2,

and while we wait to find out who's joining her,

here's Rob to tell us about the next hole.

And now "The Hole Story" with Rob Riggle.

Riggle: Rubber duckies.

At first glance, they look like harmless water toys.

But increase their size tenfold

and they quickly transform into something else entirely.

Golfers need to get across the narrow bridge

blockaded by these two ferocious beasts of the bath.

If the player or the ball gets knocked into the tub ‐‐

"Aaah!" Pkwssh! ‐‐

it's a stroke penalty.

"Aaaah!" Pbbbbht!

But, hey, look on the bright side.

You just got a free bath.

Back to you, Rob.

[ Ding! ]

Yeehaw!

And ready to take on the ducks of disaster now,

it's social‐media manager Leisha‐Mae

and hospital worker Sam Eddy.

Hi. My name's Sam Eddy.

I'm 24 years old,

and I am from Crestview, Florida.

Even though it's mini golf, everything is so big about it.

And that's why I love "Holey Moley,"

because it's just that but bigger.

I'm the icon that "Holey Moley" needs.

Rarr!

It's about being the cutest cat on the golf course

and bringing it home.

My name's Leisha‐Mae Telles.

I am from Las Vegas, Nevada.

I have a degree in psychology,

so I can get into other people's minds.

Growing up, my family and I played a ton of golf,

and putting was, like, my thing.

My sister Seshia was in season 1 of "Holey Moley."

She made it just look too hard,

and I just want to make it easy.

Deep down, she probably wants me to make it past her.

Leisha‐Mae Telles.

Remember her sister Seshia was on season 1.

She wants to do better than her sister did.

She's trying to avenge her sister's death.

They ‐‐ What?

Did ‐‐ Did she survive last year?

She survived. Never mind, then.

We're good.

Ooh, this is ‐‐

There is not much on this.

This is not even reaching the slanted bar of soap.

Alright. Now it's the hard part.

Good luck.

Tessitore: Now Leisha‐Mae Telles is going to try

to avoid the 12‐foot‐high,

15‐foot‐long pair of rubber duckies.

You have to time it out just right.

Here she goes.

Ohh!

Ducky number one puts her into the bubble bath.

I like the speed, but she just ‐‐

I don't know that she timed it well.

Oh, she got launched.

She takes out a medium‐size duck.

Yeah, she got launched.

Yeah, she really did.

Having seen that, Leisha's sister's

probably thinking to herself she's the better one now.

And now, Sam Eddy, the 24‐year‐old from Florida.

Time to show these ducks who's boss.

She goes by the nickname of "Sam Pants."

Says she never wears pants.

Are there any articles of clothing that you hate?

Hmm. That's a great one.

Not pants. Oh, no. We know you love pants.

You love pants, especially these pants.

These ducks got nothing on this kitty cat.

[ Ducks squeaking ]

Come on, Sam Eddy. Put a little zest on it.

Uh‐oh. What happened?

It went in the water. The ball went in the water.

Oh. That cuts like a knife.

It really does.

Does she get thrown in now?

So, this will be Sam's second stroke

after her tee shot went in the water.

She loves to make people smile.

Will she be smiling with this putt?

It goes into the water again. That's two.

She's really struggling here with her accuracy.

Come on, Sam!

Whoo!

And now the crowd is giving her some great support.

Third stroke. Sam Eddy.

This gets through the first duck,

past the second duck,

and past that mark,

onto the bar of soap. Get over there.

She goes from a struggle on her first two shots

to a very nice third stroke there.

Whoo!

Alright, duck, it's you and me.

It's you and me.

She is primed.

She is getting pumped up, Joe.

Getting a squat in.

I'll tell you what ‐‐ those ducks don't stand a chance.

I pity those rubber duckies.

Can she do it?

The duckies against Sam.

Oh.

Victory ‐‐ duckies.

Here's the replay, Rob.

Well, I'll tell you, that first rubber ducky

has a real high hit rate.

Yeah. That's the mama duck, I believe.

It is the mama duck. It is.

Mama duck does some damage, now.

[ Laughs ]

Leisha‐Mae loving it.

Well, she's experienced that.

How cold was it?

Very.

My poor Floridian soul.

[ Laughing ] I know.

Tessitore: So, Sam Eddy lies 4.

Leisha‐Mae Telles lies 2,

as both went into the water,

so the stroke penalty there.

Leisha‐Mae: No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Oh, it's a nice putt from Leisha‐Mae.

It's not looking good for me.

As she's just now two inches away,

she'll be tapping in for the win here.

You got this!

Tap in and you got it.

Can she advance?

Yes, she does.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Leisha‐Mae, proving she's no quack,

as she moves on to Round 2

and stays on track to try to win

that quarter million dollars.

And avenge her sister's death.

Her sister did not die, Riggle.

Huh? She was eliminated.

She didn't die.

Oh. Got it.

Got it. You take everything too far.

Got it.

What's in your drink?

Eh, it's just gin.

Straight‐up gin.

That smells. I can smell it.

It smells like gasoline.

That's a strong gin. It really is. It's 93 octane.

What's in mine? Yep.

That's the good stuff. [ Clears throat ]

It's firewater, right there.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, that's it.

That is what's gonna get me...

You got to stay warm. ...arrested.

[ Laughs ]

As we move on, let's take a closer look

at our next hole.

This is Gopher It.

[ Sighs ]

Golfers are gonna try to ride our mechanical rodeo gopher

as long as they can.

Now, those who hold on the longest

get the better position closer to the hole,

but you got to be careful,

because the green is infested with gophers

who are gonna pop their head up and ruin your shot.

Let's go down to the course.

[ Cheers and applause ]

We have a former NFL player testing Gopher It,

as James Anderson takes on Micah Lee Dettmar.

Name's Micah Dettmar.

I'm 33 years old.

I'm originally from Geneva, Alabama,

and I am the trash‐talking GOAT of mini golf.

Wearing sleeves and trying to mini golf

is a little restrictive,

so I got mad and just ripped off the sleeves.

Welcome to the gun show.

Not gonna say that I'm the most physically fit

that's probably gonna be on "Holey Moley,"

but I can hang with the best of them.

I'm gonna win "Holey Moley."

This is what I do.

4 to 1 on the goal line, Coach, put me in the game.

My name is James Anderson.

I'm from Chesapeake, Virginia.

I played in the NFL for 10 years.

If I could handle hitting 300‐pound men,

I'm not worried about a windmill.

These obstacles better watch out for me.

"Holey Moley" is the Super Bowl of mini golf.

This is my first Super Bowl, and I want to win it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

So, Micah Lee,

32‐year‐old physical therapist down in Alabama.

This sport is popular down in Alabama.

Oh, they have wonderful college football,

but they also have wonderful mechanical gopher riding

down there, too.

I‐I'm not sure that that's a fact.

There he is right behind us, Riggle.

Yeah! Hey, Micah Lee! What's going on, brother?

There he is. Hey!

[ Laughs ] You're screwed.

He really is, isn't he?

Ohh. Okay.

Dead man walking. There he is, right there.

[ Air horn blows ]

So, here he goes.

We'll see what time that he can log

here on Gopher It.

What is this? Is this a kiddy ride

out in front of the supermarket?

This thing can get going, now.

You know, just warming him up a little bit.

Over 15 feet up on that gopher mound.

All it takes is one swift move of that joystick

on the mechanical gopher,

and Micah Lee is down and out.

Oh, he's coming off the back of it.

You get thrown by that?

Is there butter on his pants?

He just slipped off, like a wet noodle.

The first 24 seconds of that ride was incredibly slow.

[ Laughing ] Yeah.

And then 0.6 ‐‐

And then the 0.6, when they just turned it just a beat,

just a little bit,

he went slip‐sliding away.

So, 24.6 seconds is the time to beat.

James Anderson, after a very successful career

as an NFL linebacker ‐‐

played for the Panthers, played for the Bears.

One day, you're an NFL linebacker.

The next day, you're riding a mechanical gopher.

[ Laughs ]

Oh.

[ Air horn blow ]

Whoa! He's out of the gates!

It's hot! It's electric!

[ Laughs ] He's barely moving.

24.6 is all he has to beat here.

I'm not even sure he realizes it's started at this point.

He's leaning back.

Little bit of a dip there.

Don't ‐‐ James, I don't ‐‐ Hold on, there.

Hold on, now.

A little bit of a wiggle to it,

leaning to the side.

Oh, oh. That gets testy.

That gets testy.

He's got some great balance.

Oh, they're giving him a much harder ride.

Now it's starting to speed up.

Now, this is a much harder ride.

And look at James Anderson.

Uh‐oh.

And then... Whoa!

...goes down the gopher mound,

but that is a winning ride by James Anderson.

Gets the better ball position.

10 seconds more than Micah Lee.

A gopher can't beat me, man.

And he will card a 3,

so Micah Lee Dettmar will be putting for the win.

Don't get nervous. It's just a putt.

Hey, yo, I'm just sitting 2.

A little bit closer.

That's okay.

Tessitore: This putt

for a victory in round number 1.

Does he have it in him?

Ah.

No, he pushes it off,

and he left something there, as well.

Riggle: Yeah. Hey, no pressure on this putt.

Remember, Anderson has already carded a 3,

so Micah Lee has to have this

to force a putt‐off on Gopher It.

The sleeveless wonder misses,

and James Anderson, the former NFL linebacker,

completes the talented lineup,

ready to tackle Round 2.

Wow. And we will see how that plays out

when we return to "Holey Moley."

Stick around.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."

Riggle: I'll tell you what the network is saying.

More Riggle and Joe.

More. More. Not less.

More. Yep. Zoom in.

What? You even know where your camera is.

Oh, yeah. I don't know where my camera is.

See if you can find it, Riggle.

I want to see if I can find it. See if you can find it.

There's only three cameras. I had a good shot.

Up next, it is Putt the Plank.

Here's Jeannie Mai.

Mai: Thanks, Joe.

Golfers first putt over the bow

to X marks the spot on the other side.

Whoever gets closest to the X will get the help of the best

and the only golf pirate in all of "Holey Moley"...

Captain Long Jon Lovitz!

Mai: He will chip the winner's ball

across the lagoon to the green on the other side,

then he'll chip the loser's ball across blindfolded.

Who's gonna be named first mate,

and who will be shark meat on Putt the Plank?

James Anderson, the longtime NFL linebacker,

taking on Connie Amarel,

the cookie maker and children's story book author.

Both have played their qualifying putts,

and it's linebacker James who has landed closer to the X.

Closer. Just a little outside.

Oh.

Right there in the hole.

You got that? Yep. [ Chuckles ]

Tessitore: So, one eyepatch for Captain Long Jon Lovitz,

as he will chip over the lagoon for James Anderson.

Over the lagoon,

and into the sand.

He's gonna have a lot to deal with

that deep in the bunker.

That doesn't look like a win to me.

Not at all.

You try chipping off wood.

Maybe it's not as easy as it looks.

Now the second eyepatch is being put on,

as Course Marshal Joe will hand Captain Long Jon Lovitz

his pirate hat back.

How much you think the hat affects his swing here?

I think all of it's affecting his swing, to be honest.

‐I can't see. ‐Oh, you can't see?

No. Put the club next to the...

Next to your club? Yeah.

There you go.

[ Chuckles ] Good luck, Jon.

Tessitore: So, here's Captain Long Jon Lovitz,

his chip with two eyepatches on.

The ball of Connie Amarel.

Riggle: Good Lord. And he runs it

and skims it and goes off the treasure chest.

Will it stay on?

I love you, Jon.

Tessitore: How about that?

The ricochet, and it works.

So, Connie Amarel is in better position than James Anderson.

We're gonna have to rethink this system.

He does better blindfolded than he does with his vision.

How can that be? I don't understand.

James, walk the plank!

Tessitore: And now James Anderson

will walk the plank,

and you have to think,

with his level of athleticism,

all the years in the NFL,

he will have no problem getting ahold of this shark.

I actually feel sorry for the shark.

Here goes James.

Onto the fin,

and he will pull himself up.

Whoo! And now he's riding the shark

in a show of dominance.

He's making this look easy.

I mean, a former NFL player.

He's hungry for the win.

♪♪

There he goes. Oh, can he hang on?

And he's got to pull himself up!

Oh, a stroke penalty, as he let go. He let go!

James Anderson, with all that upper‐body strength,

takes the stroke penalty, as he went into the water.

That was incredible. Wow.

NFL linebacker fails on Putt the Plank.

So, he lies 2 now, and he's in the trap.

He really did knock the heck out of that shark, though.

I think the shark is swimming slanted right now.

Connie, walk the plank! Okay.

Tessitore: Connie Amarel, 65 years old,

is walking the plank,

the woman who says cookies make everything better.

I don't know if she can tempt the shark with any cookies.

Oh, my gosh.

Please be safe, Connie. Please.

I don't know if I want to see

what's about to happen here, Joe.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh. Well, you know what?

I feel better about it.

I really do.

I really do.

The last thing I needed was Connie

and her sweet face embedded into the side of a shark.

Hey, and what a gentleman.

Great sportsmanship. What a gentleman.

There's James, helping her out.

Nicely done, James.

Well done. That's what "Holey Moley's"

really all about, right there.

You got to help, too, Connie. The leg.

Tessitore: I think this is ‐‐

at a certain point, it's dead weight, and...

You got to help. You got to help.

He's just dragging Connie.

[ Both laugh ]

I've seen ‐‐ I mean ‐‐ I believe ‐‐

I thought this was gonna be really sweet.

It got really awkward, fast.

Boy.

That got real awkward, didn't it?

Oh, boy. Oh.

He did his best, though. He got her up.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Now, what's interesting is that Connie has been

baking cookies for pro athletes her whole life.

Here she is going up against a pro athlete,

a former NFL player. Yes.

They both lie 2.

So, we'll see how James Anderson plays this.

An NFL veteran

who still has that hunger for pro sports competition,

and he said, "I want to come out to 'Holey Moley.'"

There he is.

Through the sand. Couldn't get out.

If I'm James Anderson and I don't win this hole,

I get back on the shark, go back to the pirate ship,

and I throw Lovitz in.

Just smack him around.

Just put him in the drink...

Yeah. ...and walk away.

So, this, because of the stroke penalty,

for a 4.

‐Ah. ‐Ooh.

Wow. That was close.

He sits 4 past the cup.

So, now Connie Amarel, the 65‐year‐old cookie lady,

is gonna be putting for the win.

Remember, she took out Gerard Dyson,

who's known as Sergeant Swag,

in round number 1 on Slip N' Putt.

Can she now claim an NFL player?

She does. She does.

The cookie lady is off to Round 3

in the finals of "Holey Moley,"

defeating an NFL linebacker.

Well done, Connie!

Oh. You lost to the cookie lady, man!

Do you think James Anderson regrets

fishing her out of the water now?

I do. Yeah.

He should have just thrown her right back in there.

Yep.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley,"

the best mini golf show this side of the Milky Way.

Our final Round 2 battle is about to get underway,

so try not to stare

as we get up close and personal with Uranus.

[ Chuckles ]

Let's go down to Jeannie,

as she takes us through this hole.

Jeannie?

Mai: Thanks, Joe.

Players will put up around the rings of Uranus,

trying to get their ball to the green on the other side.

Then they'll need to run across those planets.

If they fall, it'll cost them a stroke penalty.

This is seriously one of the most daunting mini golf holes

in the entire galaxy, guys.

Let's see how they do.

Our next matchup is a battle between Samuel Babba

and Leisha‐Mae Telles,

two of our Round 1 winners.

Remember, Leisha‐Mae was able to get the victory

on Putter Ducky.

Meanwhile, Samuel Babba, he conquered Hole Number Two.

Samuel Babba, an optimist.

No, he's not an optimist.

He's an optimist. It says it right here.

No, no, no, no. He's an optician.

That's what I said.

You said an optimist.

That's not a profession, being an optimist.

You're an optimist, I'm an optimist.

He's an optician.

I've never done any eye work in my life.

So, the big glasses and the Kenny G hairstyle ‐‐

that is Samuel Babba.

Up and over.

Does he grab the channel?

No. He just missed.

Just missed it.

It runs into the sand

and the craters on Uranus. [ Groans ]

There's nothing worse than having something

get caught in Uranus.

[ Chuckles ]

Glasses are coming off because he knows the stakes are high,

and you know these planets don't give an inch.

Meaning he doesn't want to smash his face into one.

Whoo! Whoo!

Samuel Babba'll make that run now.

Hey, is that the moon in the background, Joe?

That is the moon in the background there,

or just part of our lights.

How about that?

See what Samuel Babba can offer up here.

There he goes. Just crawling his way onto Earth,

and now the big jump to Jupiter.

Can't see a thing.

Look at this. Splash!

Here we go. Babba. Splash!

Can he stay dry?

Riggle: Wow! He does.

Now you got my attention, sir.

Two planets to go.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

This is the one.

This is always the tester.

Hey! He did it!

Two big leaps onto the green.

The planets have aligned,

as he went over four of them to remain dry.

Would you look at this?

Samuel Babba, giving the turkey neck to Leisha‐Mae!

You don't give the turkey neck to people!

He gave it to her.

Whew.

‐Come on, Leisha! ‐Leisha‐Mae.

Remember, her sister Seshia

was on last year's "Holey Moley."

But alive and well.

She's doing great.

She's absolutely alive and well.

So, this is not about vengeance?

It is not.

That's a big swing.

That's a driver's swing.

You have to be aggressive with your actions on Uranus.

Oh, she may get it.

Oh, this has ‐‐ Oh, just missed the channel.

Oh, she's gonna end up right next to Babba.

Hey, I'm just letting you know, I made that look easy!

Planet number one.

Oh! And she slides back.

That didn't last long at all.

I hate to see it happen.

Hate to see it happen.

I think she lost her footing on the lunge.

Yeah, I just don't think the Superman strategy

really is how you want to go about this.

Almost.

Almost. Oh!

Ooh, that water is cold.

That's just twisting the knife.

Tessitore: It sure is.

Make sure you chip it.

So, Samuel Babba, lining it up.

This for the win.

Could be challenging out of the sand with that ridge.

Nice.

Not bad.

He sits 2 from there now.

[ Sighs ]

Now, Leisha‐Mae Telles

did incur that stroke penalty.

Got to drain it.

Right here, right now.

No.

She comes up short of the ridge.

And this time, she chops it over

and puts it in. How about that?

That was well done.

So, that for a 4.

Very well done.

Now it's up to Samuel Babba, AKA Babba the Putt.

Copyright, trademark Rob Riggle.

[ Laughs ]

So, Samuel Babba is going to have a short putt for the win.

And he makes it.

On his birthday, Sam Babba is in the final round

of "Holey Moley," and he's one step away

from landing the biggest birthday present of his life,

a quarter million dollars.

Can he go all the way?

Find out after the break.

Rob, who do you think is inside the astronaut suit there?

Well, my understanding was it was Buzz Aldrin,

legendary second man to step on the moon.

It's not Buzz Aldrin. But if it's not,

it's probably definitely somebody

from the cast of "Apollo 13."

Tom Hanks. Maybe Kevin Bacon.

You think Tom Hanks or Kevin Bacon

has been spending hours inside the astronaut suit?

Standing very still.

And I hope they're having a great time.

Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley."

We're about to put our final two players to the test.

One of them's gonna walk away with the plaid jacket,

The Golden Putter, and, most importantly,

a chance at a $250,000 putt.

That'll come on Stephen Curry's mysterious masterpiece,

the Tomb of Nefertiti, in the season finale.

Right now, we've got one of the hardest holes

in all of mini golf, and definitely the hottest.

It's Dragons Breath.

Golfers will put on their shiniest armor,

gonna putt while standing

in the path of dragons breathing real fire.

You have to hit your ball into one of the three holes

under the stone archway,

and the drawbridge will drop down,

allowing them in.

Will they be able to brave the heat and sink their shot?

We're about to find out.

Fun fact ‐‐ Dragons Breath is also the name

of my new line of cologne,

and just like my cologne,

this hole has been described as way too intense.

Would you look at the cookie lady?

This 65‐year‐old has proved age is but a number.

Totally underestimated on Slip N' Putt,

she's turned out to be a true force to be reckoned with,

and now she's up against the bellicose march

of one Samuel Babba.

Samuel Babba, making his way to the tee here.

His motto, of course, is "Golf is about having fun.

Whoever has the most fun wins."

I typically think it's the lowest score who wins.

Not according to Babba.

And the fire is coming,

as Sam Babba is engulfed in flames.

You can start to see how it can affect his vision.

He's going for it!

Oh! He just hit the wood on that drawbridge,

right next to that prime middle hole.

And now his second stroke here.

Can he line it up?

There it is. And he gets it through.

Takes a run at it,

and off the back wall.

That's a tough lie. That is tough.

That is a very tough lie to get through that middle hole,

and now the drawbridge will come down.

Oh, and he's riding the horse.

He's riding the horse. He's riding the pony.

And, you know, that wind has actually picked up,

which is actually fueling the fire on his back.

And they're gonna have to come out with the extinguisher.

There's so much fire there.

That thing blowing away. Got charred embers everywhere.

Still not out. Whoo!

I'm a little nervous for old sweet, sweet Connie.

Her husband, Mike, has been supporting her

every step of the way in the gallery.

There is Mike.

"Go, Cookie Lady," "Go, Connie."

Oh, and look at that. Oh. Instantly engulfed.

Does that get through?

Connie Amarel, the 65‐year‐old cookie lady,

is on the green in one.

Oh, boy.

So, she now has the advantage,

as she is burning up.

Her cookies are extra crispy tonight, Joe.

So is her back.

She's still got that smile on her face, though.

God bless.

What a putt. Look at this.

The cookie lady.

She doesn't just bake.

She can play a mean game of extreme mini golf.

And Mike is gonna hand her her lucky cap,

her cookie cap.

Oh, you're kidding?

As well as one of her cookies to charge her up.

A little energy boost for the cookie lady.

The incredible journey for Connie Amarel.

Has to contend with that grave.

Puts it over. It takes a ride.

It's gonna come up well short.

She now sits 2.

Sam Babba turns to Deputy Course Marshal Colin

and asks for relief.

He's not gonna get it.

Not from old stingy fingers.

Never shows emotion. Have you ever noticed that

about Deputy Course Marshal Colin?

Heartless.

Everything on the line here

between the 30‐year‐old optician and the 65‐year‐old cookie lady.

Ooh.

[ Crowd groans ]

That was a good run at it.

Every one of these competitors dreams of that Golden Putter

and that famed plaid jacket.

Connie can make the dream come true right here!

Yes! Oh, my gosh.

Way to go, Connie!

The cookie lady has baked up the right recipe

for a big win at "Holey Moley."

I see what you did there.

Recipe, baked.

Nice. Cookie lady.

I like that. Thank you.

Champ is in the building.

Oh, my gosh.

Welcome to the club, first and foremost.

You feel good?

I'm shocked, you know?

Hey, try this on for size.

Here we go. How's that fit?

It's just amazing.

You are officially a champ. Welcome to the club.

Tessitore: Thanks for joining us.

Tune in next week for more "Holey Moley."
