The producer sweated it out on 'Hot Ones' while promoting his upcoming documentary 'Sly Lives!'
Questlove knows Taylor Swift isn't playing around when it comes to game night.
On the Thursday, Feb. 6 episode of Hot Ones with Sean Evans, the director of the upcoming documentary Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) dished about his celebrity game nights — and how competitive it can get.
"So, I see these pictures from these epic game nights that you throw with A-list guests that go from everyone to J.J. Abrams to Tyler, the Creator to Taylor Swift," Evans, 38, said, asking the Grammy winner, 54, if he had a Mount Rushmore of games.

"It shows me who a person is in a matter of minutes," added the musician of the card game.
"Taylor actually, when she first played Uno with us, she took it to levels of excitement that I didn't know one could do in an Uno game," he continued of Swift, 35.
The Roots frontman had shared Polaroid pictures from his FOMO-inducing game night in August 2023. Swift, Gigi Hadid, Jason Sudeikis, Channing Tatum, Cara Delevingne and Trevor Noah were among the attendees battling it out over board and card games.

In October 2023, Questlove hosted another game night — this time, Chrissy Teigen, Tyler, the Creator and The Bear actor Lionel Boyce stopped by for Scrabble, Monopoly and Speak Out. "The Adventures in King of All Game Nights," Questlove called that particular evening's events.
“I have not been to an LA house party in many years because I thought I was too old but it turns out it’s more fun when you are old and not on a mission to black out!!” Teigen, 39, wrote on Instagram about the game night alongside photos of her playing Speak Out.
"Thank you @questlove for a truly innocent ass, pure night of joy and laughter. I usually get so anxious talking to new people but you have such a nice group of friends, friend. These should be monthly," she continued. "Also uno still reigns supreme but speak out is up there if you are ok with people u have never met seeing you drool."
