One's a real journalist, while the other only plays one in a movie.

But that didn't stop Tina Fey wiping the floor with Rachel Maddow in an intense game of Know It All on Wednesday night.

The two ladies faced off with Tonight Show Host Jimmy Fallon explaining the rules, where each had to name as many things as they could think of in a particular category within 20 seconds, alternating back and forth until time ran out - but could challenge any opponent's answer they thought was bogus.

Face off: Tina Fey owned journalist Rachel Maddow in intense game of Know It All on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Wednesday

With Cocktails, Famous Bobs, Dog Breeds, Cheeses, Rappers and Spanish Words on the board, A very excitable Rachel chose dogs and squared off against the comedienne.

After rattling through beagle, poodle, Labrador, German shepherd, collie, shih tzu - pausing for a giggle - Pomeranian, Yorkie, Dachshund, Weimaraner and Vizsla - which a suspicious Fallon suspected was 'also a cheese' - Fey was left stumped.

With her clock running out she grasped at 'Wiener dog' in her desperation, which drew an immediate challenge from Maddow.

'A Dachshund is the medical name,' Fey sheepishly offered, but the round was lost.

Intense: They alternating back and forth until time ran out - but could challenge any opponent's answer they thought was bogus

But to Maddow's dismay, Fey chose rappers next - 'Any rapper or hip hop artist who has released a studio album' - with the TV host really showing her age with her selections.

'Jay-Z! Eve! Nicki Minaj!' Fey fired while Maddow responded to each with 'Ice T, Eazy E and Too Short.'

But when the straight-faced Fey threw a curve ball in 'Snow', Maddow challenged and lost, as the 30 Rock star sang a celebratory few bars of his 1992 single chart topper 'Informer'.

'That was a sneaky one,' Fallon praised her. 'You didn't say he had to be a good rapper,' Fey replied.

With the next round the decider, both women suddenly became interested in what was at stake.

'What kind of car do we get?' Tina asked. 'It's a photo of a great car,' Jimmy assured her.

Weak point: To Maddow's dismay, Fey chose rappers next - 'Any rapper or hip hop artist who has released a studio album' - with the TV host really showing her age with her selections

I lick he bum bum down: But when the straight-faced Fey threw a curve ball in 'Snow', Maddow challenged and lost, as the 30 Rock star sang a celebratory few bars of his 1992 single chart topper 'Informer'.

The host then selected the category for the tie-breaking round 'types of cheese according to Cheese.com', pressing the challenge button on himself just to check there indeed was a such thing as Cheese.com.

'Gouda! Rachel opened with. 'Alpine lace - why would I start there? I dont know,' Tina responded, a good question since it's a brand and not a type of cheese, but it slipped past unchallenged.

'Pepper jack! Cheddar! Parmesan! Gruyère! Taleggio! Drunken goat! Chevre! they parried and riposted, until Fey landed the fatal blow with the challenge: 'Chevre IS goat!'

Fatal blow: The host then selected the category for the tie-breaking round - cheese - Fey successfully challenging Maddow's Chevre as the already named goat's cheese
