* Ben as Venosapien: Oh, my dear boy, there you are! now, take a seat over there! thanks. Now folks, you know that this device i'm wearing is the omnitrix, it's the only one out there, i think. but that's not the point, so this little fellow named Hoppo, or as i call him, Hopgoblin has been bored out of his mind because his stupid father, or wizard wouldn't let him watch a violent cartoon. so, how about for the sake of the alien audience and you, how would you like to see me use my aliens to peform tricks?
* Hopgoblin: Well, it supposed to be talk show, but if it only thing you want to do, go ahead then.

* (then he turns into Wildmutt to hit a ball several times as he is bouncing it)
* (then he turns into Diamondhead to do an archery practice, as he aims at an apple on Gwen's Head, which he successfully did, although he sliced a bit of Gwen's hair, as she wears a Sunhat to cover it)
* (then he turns into XLR8 to run a 20-dash mile around a court, like an olympics challenge jumping through obstacles)
* (then he turns into Grey Matter to use his smarts to make a robot dance)
* (then he turns into Four Arms to do strong man lifts)
* (then he turns into Stinkfly to squirt goo in the air, and catching it in his squirters several times, as he spits it out on the Eric's picture)
