The Tonight Show game show "Know It All" is, as Jimmy Fallon describes it, a contest "of knowledge and deception." On Wednesday's show, he pitted guest Tina Fey against MSNBC smarty-pants Rachel Maddow. Fey and Maddow each got to pick a category before Fallon chose the tie-breaker. If you've read the headline, you know who wins — improbably? — but in this game, the victor is almost irrelevant. Watch to see Fey and Maddow duel in the ring of low-stakes, high-pressure trivia below. Peter Weber
