On Tuesday's Tonight Show, the gold medal-winning Final Five — American gymnasts Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian, and Aly Raisman — joined host Jimmy Fallon, Atlanta's Donald Glover, and Tariq Trotter of The Roots to play a live action version of the classic game. In Hungry Hungry Humans, the players split into teams to try to grab as many balls as possible, and since we're dealing with some of the finest athletes in the world, things got competitive, fast. Watch the video below to see who went home with the gold, silver, and bronze, and who left empty-handed. Catherine Garcia
