Kids Tell the Ugly Truth

Chapter Nine: "I Got 99 Problems But ____ Ain't One"

Preface

Inspired by a classic Cards Against Humanity prompt, tonight's episode is all about filling in the blank: "I got 99 problems but ____ ain't one." From toddlers to teens, we're diving into what each generation thinks they've got under control—and what they definitely don't. Will they play it safe, get real, or just make us laugh? Let's find out!

Show Introduction

[The set features a giant blank card with "I got 99 problems but ____ ain't one" written on it, a spinning wheel, and a "Problem Meter." Tiffany enters holding a giant pencil.]

Tiffany Haddish:

"Welcome back to 'Kids Tell the Ugly Truth!' Tonight's CAH-inspired question is: 'I got 99 problems but ____ ain't one.' We asked our panel—from toddlers to teens—to fill in the blank and tell us what they think they've got handled. Then we spin the wheel to see how they'd deal with those problems—government, humanity, cartel, Karen/Kevin, or CAR Tell Me style. Let's get into it!"
