On American game shows, you win cars, dream vacations, and more money than most people would know what to do with. On Canadian game shows, you win a beautiful parka. And on Asgardian gameshows, you win the opportunity to get drunk with Guillermo Rodriguez while the rest of us win a belly full of laughter.
Indeed, the star-studded cast of Thor: Love and Thunder made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to play a rollicking game of “Spin the Mjölnir,” in which contestants sit down with Guillermo, who’s donned in full Asgardian attire, and spin a Mjölnir-styled wheel to see if they’ll have to take a tequila shot, smash produce with a hammer, or feed a snack cake to Guillermo with a stick.
Even more entertaining than whatever shenanigans were thrown at the cast was seeing just how much fun they were having with it all, especially Taika Waititi, who trolled the wheel a couple of times and came up with a title for a companion game show, “Who Wants To Be A Mjölnaire.”
Chris Hemsworth found himself in perhaps the most awkward position during the show, as the show’s ever-powerful rules decreed that he had to draw a pencil sketch of his naked father. Hemsworth bent the rules by depicting his in-universe father, Odin, but the result still remained inappropriate for YouTube.
The show ended with all four contestants sharing a tequila shot with Guillermo, with the standout being Natalie Portman’s, who wound up enabling Guillermo’s sacrilegious act of soaking a Twinkie in tequila before taking a big, righteous chomp.
Thor: Love and Thunder releases in cinemas on July 8.
