"Weird Al" started school a year earlier than normal, skipped the second grade, and graduated valedictorian from high school at 16. I had no idea he was that intelligent!
I am shocked Al didn’t get the pagoda question answer… He has a degree in Architecture and he sang about a pagoda in The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota!
(Ezekiel) Zeke Hamish Beckley: Yeah a 100% deadpanned lazed comedian such as “Benjamin Jeremy” Ben Stein can be pretty doggone smart and also put me to....💤💤💤💤💤
I love the Rock and Roll special! I was wondering if you could upload the episode when they had Henry Rollins, Steven Weber and Fred Willard as Win Ben Stein's Money celebrity special contestants, please? I hadn't seen that one yet.
As a huge Al fan, I remember being stoked to see this, and mostly just being annoyed as shit by Nancy whats-er-face and that goofball from Poison. Also, very awkward moment with Matthew at the end of the second round, when he walked offstage while being taunted by CC.
Ive never seen this before or heard of this show but i feel like al is doing about as well as i would do lol we are both knowledgable about music and not much else lol

This show is funny and good. The reason it failed is because they spend too much time reading the category names! It takes half the show for the host to read it, the laffing and jokes, and then the contestant to read it, again, in full. C'mon! We got the joke! Move on.
The show ran for 6 years, it lost viewership after Kimmel left to focus on the man show and the head writer left to work for South Park it had nothing to do with what you said
It's a game show on comedy central.. even though they're not that funny, why would they take only comedy part out of it? If you wanna watch a regular trivia game show, watch jeopardy like the rest of us.
$900 for a charity prize seems like a joke, even for back then. $5000 also seems like a joke. Most of those rapid fire questions at the end were hard, and the co-host is annoying... all that being said, I still enjoyed this.
@@ikarikid I assumed it wasn't actually Ben's money, but thanks for the clarification nonetheless. Someone else commented that Ben donated all his winnings to charity, that was pretty cool of him.
"Win Ben Stein's $5000" WHOOPIE... I admit I did watch this show but I could never understand why it was only $5000. And Stein had almost zero respect for Nancy. I thought she was great. Ben just loooved Jimmy Kimmel, laughed like crazy at everything he said, totally kissed his butt, acted like they were lovers. But he rarely laughed at anything Nancy said, and you could see he had no patience or tolerance for Nancy
Ben & Jimmy just had better chemistry, similar dry comedic styles based more on sarcasm. Seemed like with Nancy there were more jokes about her looks and implying she and Ben were an item and that just felt creepy.
@@marcpower4167 Yeah it's really creepy to acknowledge that someone is nice looking. How creepy. You know what's really creepy? Thinking a man's natural tendency to appreciate a woman's looks is creepy---implying malicious intent.
This popped up on my feed this morning, I forgot all about this show!
same and same
2025 this randomly popped up on my feed saw weird Al and instantly clicked
100 percent same here.
Same
Same! Though I've always been a Weird Al fan and a fan of Win Ben Stein's Money, so the question is: why'd it take so long to pop up?!
I don’t care
Same
Ben's open-mouthed shock whenever he misses a question is priceless
Matthew Sweet looks like Jim Carrey dressed up as Mitch Hedberg for Halloween.
"Well. I guess that's alrighty then man." 🕶️
😂🤣 Spot on! LMAO
Best of luck on your recovery, Matt, you are an important person among all your fans.
@@IsiahTomas Agreed my friend.
Awesome rock stars playing for awesome charities!!! I always loved this show.
"Weird Al" started school a year earlier than normal, skipped the second grade, and graduated valedictorian from high school at 16. I had no idea he was that intelligent!
Dang, me either
I don’t see the reason for skipping a grade earlier, unless you’re gonna be a professional athlete like tennis star.
No. He's a super big brain
I like that you kept the Kermit and Jon Stewart promo in there.
Love CC Deville
I am shocked Al didn’t get the pagoda question answer… He has a degree in Architecture and he sang about a pagoda in The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota!
CC wiped the floor on Rock and Roll Jeopardy.
Nancy was the best co-host, and not just because she's super hot 🔥
She is 🔥
She killed the ratings after Kimmel left
She was super hot, she killed the ratings after Kimmel left
If the final 10 questions had stuck to the theme of rock and roll, Weird Al would have cleaned his clock!
I had no idea Ben Stein was so smart!
(Ezekiel) Zeke Hamish Beckley: Yeah a 100% deadpanned lazed comedian such as “Benjamin Jeremy” Ben Stein can be pretty doggone smart and also put me to....💤💤💤💤💤
The lecture he gives in Ferris Bueller was an actual lecture.
Oh, hey. A Nancy episode. I liked her.
I love the Rock and Roll special! I was wondering if you could upload the episode when they had Henry Rollins, Steven Weber and Fred Willard as Win Ben Stein's Money celebrity special contestants, please? I hadn't seen that one yet.
CC sounds like Hecklefish -or the other way around LOL
Matthew sweet looks like mitch hedberg
he used to do drugs...he still does, but he used to, too.
"I'm sick of myself when I look at you, that's why I'm drinking NyQuil on the rocks."
As a huge Al fan, I remember being stoked to see this, and mostly just being annoyed as shit by Nancy whats-er-face and that goofball from Poison. Also, very awkward moment with Matthew at the end of the second round, when he walked offstage while being taunted by CC.
Hard name to say huh? Weird Al was the best!!! I’m about the same age as Ben’s son and Weird Al has always been to cool me as Ben pointed.
I used to watch this all the time and have zero memory of the obnoxious woman.
Ive never seen this before or heard of this show but i feel like al is doing about as well as i would do lol we are both knowledgable about music and not much else lol
CC sounds like Miltons dad on "The Simpsons." 😂😂😂
CC talks like Kyle's cousin on South Park

Damn you are good with knowing what was playing that night.
So basically if you didn't turn on a television that day, you didn't miss anything.
6:39 Adam's apple alert...
Jan 7th and I had clicked on a political video but remembered I don’t care about politics anymore , thankfully AI knew what I needed 🙂
Nancy made it move when she danced with Ben.
Now bluebear, you were thinking of November 20, 2000.
Did Ben refer to George Harrison as the 5th beetle? 7:31 (that’s incorrect)
This show should be streaming on Paramount+. Like my comment if you agree.
Nancy was such an upgrade from kimmel
Seems odd because the better Ben does, the less money that goes to charity.
The guy worked for Nixon - you were expecting maybe an altruist?
Back when celebrities were smart
This is a special Rock N Roll episode of Win Ben Stein's Money and the contestants are CC, Matthew, & Weird Al.
Why would you say that
lol ive seen several episodes where the answer in the final round is israel.
Close your eyes & CC sounds like Mort from Family Guy
And he looks like a fucked up version of Denis Leary.
Has CC always sounded like a retired woman currently living in Florida?

@@patmccrotch5373 misunderstanding. Read the question once, funny. No need to repeat it. Also, we can read. You don't need to read it to us.
@Redmenace96 I hear ya
CC Deville stole this show.
$900 for a charity prize seems like a joke, even for back then. $5000 also seems like a joke. Most of those rapid fire questions at the end were hard, and the co-host is annoying... all that being said, I still enjoyed this.
In reality, the $5000 was put up by the studio. Ben got to keep whatever wasn’t won in addition to a normal salary.
@ikarikid Supposedly Ben donated most if not all of that money he "won" to charity.
@@ikarikid I assumed it wasn't actually Ben's money, but thanks for the clarification nonetheless. Someone else commented that Ben donated all his winnings to charity, that was pretty cool of him.
CC slept with every woman in the 80's but acts like a dork that's never touched a woman.
Weird Al didn't win $5000
I suppose that means... ♫ He lost on Ben Stein's Money, Baby... ♫
Thanks man, came here to watch this because I didn't wanna see how the show played out 🙄
That 'new' cohost totally BIT! :(
Agreed Jimmy and Cousin Sal set the bar very high.
@@act4666 Cousin Sal?
@@dhpbear2 The last cohost and that’s Jimmy’s cousin. Sal still loves being called Cousin Sal
"Win Ben Stein's $5000" WHOOPIE... I admit I did watch this show but I could never understand why it was only $5000. And Stein had almost zero respect for Nancy. I thought she was great. Ben just loooved Jimmy Kimmel, laughed like crazy at everything he said, totally kissed his butt, acted like they were lovers.

Nancy sucked, but she was cute
Ben & Jimmy just had better chemistry, similar dry comedic styles based more on sarcasm. Seemed like with Nancy there were more jokes about her looks and implying she and Ben were an item and that just felt creepy.
@@marcpower4167 Yeah it's really creepy to acknowledge that someone is nice looking. How creepy. You know what's really creepy? Thinking a man's natural tendency to appreciate a woman's looks is creepy---implying malicious intent.
The earlier episodes of this show were the only time Kimmel was actually funny.
