Jimmy Fallon debuted a new game on The Tonight Show on Monday night, in which guests stand in a phone booth that is slowly filled with other celebrities as the competitors answer trivia questions.

The competition started off with a perfect competitor in Shaq, who fills up a phone booth by himself, going against Hugh Jackman.

Shaq gets a boost from his first visitor, game show host extraordinaire Alex Trebek, who feeds him the answer to a human anatomy question, but things quickly go downhill for the big man, as the star of NBC’s The Blacklist Megan Boone and Esquire Network's Chef Ilan Hall are introduced into the cramped space.

When Hugh Jackman answers the final question correctly, everyone piles into Shaq’s overcrowded corner, including large-headed mascot Mr. Met.

After the contest was over Shaq sat down and talked to Fallon about his new podcast and read some popsicle-stick jokes.
