- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
When in doubt, shout Delaware out.
That's a real strategy that WWE stars used to absurdly answer numerous questions during their appearance on the NBC game show "Weakest Link," which aired July 17.
The show is hosted by Jane Lynch, who stars in the Hulu mystery dramedy "Only Murders in the Building" that's heading into Season 3 on Aug. 8.
"Delaware," for example, was wrestler Big E's answer for the capital of Vietnam. The shenanigans on this episode of "Weakest Link" seemed like a stunt Wilmington actress Aubrey Plaza might pull.
Eight times Delaware was used as an answer on the episode, all of which were incorrect, according to blog Bobbymgsk.wordpress.com, which posted a full transcript from the episode.
This episode of “Weakest Link” also featured WWE stars Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, The Miz, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Alexa Bliss.
