The Game of Talents show
Brady jokes that he has met a lot of bands, but never has he met an ABBA tribute band.
The two women say that they need a boy to accompany their girl band, and Bjorn is the name of the ABBA singer they are trying to recreate in this impromptu ABBA performance.
Brady is game as always, and the women tell him to just follow their lead. An awkward dance sequence soon follows. He jokes that if his TV hosting gig doesn’t pan out, he can join them.
About the series
FOX describes the high-energy show as a spectacle of “awe, wonder and large-scale variety show with a clue-centered, high-intensity investigative game.
Described as a hybrid series, Game of Talents pits two teams of contestants against each other as they attempt to figure out the surprising — and sometimes bizarre — hidden talents of the mystery performers.
And with more than $200,000 up to win as a prize, it’s up to the contestants to identify unique skills, including fire dancing, spider wrangling, chainsaw juggling, and contortion.

I also get to give away someone else’s money, which I always enjoy doing!”
