[ Dogs barking ]

Aww.

Playing tonight, we have the host of "The Tonight Show,"

Mr. Jimmy Fallon.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh. And his opponent,

the star of "John Wick: Chapter 4,"

premiering in theaters and IMAX March 24th, Keanu Reeves.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Aww.

Okay.

This is the first puppy up tonight.

Named Gary Frick Jr.

[ Audience "Awws" ]

And here's how it's gonna work.

I'll be asking both of you animal trivia questions.

[ Audience "Awws" ]

And if you answer correctly,

you will receive a golden retriever puppy.

[ Audience "Awws" ]

-That's the way it works.

-If you answer incorrectly, your opponent gets the puppy.

And whoever has the most puppies at the end of the game

is the Pup Quiz champion.

Keanu, since you're our guest, you'll answer the first question

and either win or lose Mr. Gary Frick Jr.

-Okay.

-What is the only species of reptile --

-I'm so terrible with this.

[ Laughter ] -Wait.

He didn't even finish the question.

-I know. I just know it's just gonna be a disaster.

-No, come on. -It's just -- go ahead.

-You're gonna get this one.

What is the only species of reptile native to Ireland.

Is it, A, snake... -Come on.

-...B, lizard, or, C, turtle?

Not sea turtle. C, turtle.

-Native to Ireland.

Okay. So all of those are kind of,

like, the thing and what's gonna be the thing,

and then what's the thing that you don't think it's gonna be,

so you're gonna say turtle. -Right.

But then you're gonna change your answer to...

-Uh, uh, lizard. [ Laughter ]

-Lizard. Yes!

Lizard is correct! [ Cheers and applause ]

You win Gary Frick Jr. -Hey, buddy.

-Come on.

This is not fair. First of all,

I'm not taking a puppy away from John Wick.

[ Laughter ]

Just saying that right now. -Okay.

This next question's for you, Jimmy.

-Okay. -Where you going?

-Which of the following species

is not the name of a real animal?

Okay? Which of the following

is not the name of a real animal species?

Is it, A, sarcastic fringehead,

B, spiny lumpsucker,

or, C, shorty bobbit.

-The following is not the name of a real animal species.

I think it's sarcastic fringehead.

-Sarcastic fringehead. Is that your final answer?

[ Laughter ] -Yeah.

-It is? -Yeah.

-No! Answer was shorty bobbit.

Oh, shorty bobbit. [ Audience "Ohs" ]

Now Keanu wins the adorable puppy, Mary Kennedy.

-Oh. Do they know each other?

Do the puppies know each other? Is this, like, a common litter?

-We have like 50 puppies backstage.

[ Laughter ] -You got Gary and Mary.

[ Dog barking ] Oh, my gosh! Do you hear that?

-No. -That sound means it's time

for Double Puppardy. -Oh.

[ Laughter ] -Double Puppardy?

-Questions are now worth two puppies.

[ Laughter ] -Watch out.

-Keanu. -What?

-A dik-dik... [ Laughter ]

A dik-dik is what kind of animal?

Is it, A, platypus -- A platypus.

B, is for bird, or C, antelope, not cantaloupe.

[ Laughter ]

-Okay. So, you do the one that you think it's gonna be,

but then you pick the one that you don't think it's gonna be,

and then you pick the one that you don't think it's gonna be,

and then the dik-dik is an antelope.

-That is correct! [ Ding! ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Are you out of your mind?

-Keanu, you and Lisa McAdams and Lisa Armstrong.

-Double Puppardy. [ Cheers and applause ]

-Wow. -Let's go, Fallon.

-Come here, boy. That's it. Come here, boy.

That's a good boy. -It's puppy love!

-You give that one back --

-That's my puppy, Fallon!

-I love it. -All right, next question

goes to Jimmy.

Why do males dogs raise their leg when is they urinate?

[ Laughter ]

Is it, A, to tell others they are tall?

Is it, B, to tell other dogs they are happy?

Or it is, C, to tell other dogs they are DTF.

[ Laughter ]

Down to fetch. Down to fetch.

-Maybe, uh, B? -No, it's to tell other dogs

they are tall. [ Sad tuba ]

So, Keanu, you get Roger Blaine and Ted Mooney.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Can you help the dogs?

-Hi.

-Who's the puppy king? -Come here.

There you go. -I'm the puppy king!

-There we go. All right.

[ Laughs ] -Hey, buddy.

-Okay.

[ Dog barking ] Oh, my gosh!

That sound means it's time for Final Puppardy.

This is for all your opponent's puppies and the game.

So pick up your iPads if you can.

[ Laughter ]

How many dogs were used to film the movie "Air Bud"?

All right. You'll have 10 seconds

on the clock starting now.

[ Laughter ]

-Okay.

[ Laughter ]

-They left, they left. They just left.

They left. -Oh!

-They left, okay? They're wandering --

[ Buzzer ]

It's chaos. I'm gonna say 10.

-Keanu, what did you write down?

-Uh, 6, but if it's not 6, then it's a 9.

[ Laughter ]

-The answer is 6!

[ Ding! ] [ Laughter and applause ]

-There we go.

My thanks to Keanu Reeves, these adorable puppies.
