Daphne Zuniga turned a Celebrity Name That Tune appearance into a reminder that a music video can double as a tiny casting history lesson. On the first-ever Halloween episode, she correctly identified Bob Seger’s “Night Moves” and then shifted the focus to the set where she and Matt LeBlanc once flirted.
Night Moves on the board
During the “Spin Me Round” round, the wheel landed on Soft Rock and Zuniga buzzed in first with “Night Moves?” Jane Krakowski kept the momentum moving with, “You’re crushing this, Daphne. Yes!” and Zuniga’s correct answer put $3,000 on the board while Brian Austin Green finished at $0.
The game-show payoff was simple, but the real hook was the memory behind it. Zuniga said she was in Bob Seger’s video with Matt LeBlanc and added, “It was kind of cool. We kind of made eyes at each other.”
Halloween special on Monday
The episode aired as part of the 90s Halloween special on Monday, October 12, and the format leaned into themed play rather than straight nostalgia. Shane Byrne described it as “a really fun Halloween-themed game where all of the songs are creepy, kooky, and mysteriously spooky,” with civilian players Emily and Victoria also lined up for a Mixtape round worth $100,000.
That mix makes Zuniga’s appearance useful beyond the throwback. She did not just identify a song; she supplied a specific set memory on air, and the show turned that recollection into part of the contest’s value for viewers who care about how these clips connect the room on the stage to the careers behind them.
October 19 and World Series
On October 19, Phaedra Parks and Carlos Boozer were scheduled to face off, unless the World Series interfered with the episode. That scheduling wrinkle gives the Halloween run a practical edge: the competition is not just themed, it is exposed to the kind of programming collision that can shift attention away from a game-show episode before it reaches viewers.
Shane Byrne also said there will be “a lot more musical surprises and fun theme nights in Season 6,” so Zuniga’s turn on the podium reads like a preview of how the format is leaning into memory-driven moments. The unanswered part is the one she left hanging in plain sight: whether that video-set flirtation with Matt LeBlanc was only a glance or the start of something more.
