Chad Michael Murray<\/a> made his grand return to The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a> on Wednesday and, naturally, it meant only one thing: It was time for a ping-pong rematch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

See, last November, the One Tree Hill<\/a> alum and host\u00a0Drew Barrymore<\/a> went head-to-head in a game of table tennis as part of a segment called \u201cPing It On<\/a>.\u201d For every missed ball, the loser had to answer a series of slightly risqu\u00e9 questions, including showing off their sexiest go-to dance move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This time, however, Barrymore revived the segment with a few additions, most notably a golden ping-pong trophy, sweatbands, and referees Ross Mathews<\/a> and Sunny Anderson asking all the spicy questions.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

And while it was technically Barrymore who missed the first ball, Murray was asked to answer the game\u2019s first question.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is: If you had to give a lap dance, what song would you dance to? And please if you could show us,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cI know you won, but if you could answer the question.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Murray instantly had a song in mind. \u201cThe song\u2019s ringing in my head \u2014\u00a0I totally wouldn\u2019t do it, but did you ever hear \u2018Dr. Feelgood<\/a>?\u2019\u201d he asked, referencing M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s 1989 single. \u201cThere\u2019s an outside chance.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

To prove his point, Murray proceeded to show off his moves by performing a body roll and slowly running his hand down his chest, which caused a flustered Anderson to collapse to the\u00a0ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mathews then turned the question around on Barrymore. \u201cWell, when I was younger, I did try to do a sexy striptease dance for my boyfriend at the time to New Order\u2019s \u2018Blue Monday<\/a>,\u2019\u201d she confessed. \u201cAnd it was not sexy. I didn\u2019t know what I was doing yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wedding Singer actress went on to lose the second round too, prompting her to share her thoughts on the sexiest kitchen utensil. \u201cTongs,\u201d she answered, before mimicking the utensil with her hand and winking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Murray, on the other hand, is a big proponent of a \u201cnice little ladle.\u201d Sweeping his hand in the air, he added, \u201cJust drizzle a little. Throwing it out there!\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Barrymore earned her first point after the commercial break, which meant Murray had to divulge whether or not he prefers lights on or lights off during life\u2019s\u2026 uh, steamier moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI gotta be honest, like, it don\u2019t matter,\u201d he declared. \u201cI don\u2019t discriminate lights on, lights off, but I would prefer the lights on because then you get to see their beautiful eyes. It\u2019s true! It\u2019s just more of a connection.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

In the end, however, it was revealed that the game\u2019s winner wouldn’t be decided by the amount of points they’d earned, but rather through one last round. Despite Murray originally being in the lead, Barrymore was able to steal the victory with one skilled shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat does not feel fair! I clearly lost,\u201d Barrymore exclaimed, prompting Murray to reply, \u201cIt\u2019s totally fair!\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair ultimately ended up embracing and agreeing to share the \u201cPing It On\u201d trophy. \u201cJoint title!\u201d Anderson cheered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sounds like Murray and Barrymore will need to have a winner-take-all rematch sometime soon.\n<\/p>\n
