'Now, remember Janey,' Bruff says, 'even though I can see the guys, you won't until you've made your choice.'
In the first of three chairs to flip around is Alan from Tempe (James Austin Johnson, in a shaggy blonde haircut). 'Hi, my name's Alan,' he says, 'but I hope to be Fallin' in love.'
Second up is Dan from Ridgefield (an ordinary looking Marcello Hernandez)…and then there's Jean from Seattle (Black, who's dressed like a certain movie character you might recognize.)
'Hi, I'm Gene,' says Black. 'I can't think of a pun for my name. I'm just Gene.'
We return to Dan, who's asked what he looks for in a woman.
'Well, the right answer is personality,' he acknowledges, 'but the real answer is butt.'
Gene's answer?
'You know, I spent a lot of my life trying to figure out women, and then one day I said, maybe it's time to figure out Gene. So I'm looking for a woman to go on that journey with me.'
Janey finds this answer 'so refreshing,' but a perturbed Todd Bruff has to call the contestant out.
'I feel like I have to tell you, he's dressed like Indiana Jones,' Bruff tells Janey. 'I'm not supposed to say what they look like, but yeah, he's in head-to-toe Indiana Jones.'
'What is Indiana Jones?' Gene asks. 'I don't know what Indiana Jones is.'
'Well, no Gene, I think you do,' Bruff argues. 'Because you're dressed like that. You're dressed like Indiana Jones.'
Gene pretends to wonder if Indiana Jones is 'a brand, like Tommy Hilfiger.' But Todd again insists that Gene knows who Indiana Jones is, 'because you have the whip.'
Janey is interested in Gene, no matter how he's dressed. After all, ' he sounds nice.' But Bruff can't let the situation go.
'You're hurting my feelings, and your producer just said wear what you wear on a date,' says Gene. 'I'm sorry if it looks like Indiana Jones, whoever he may be.'
'Hey, is Indiana Jones from Indiana?' Dan asks.
Falling for the trick question, Gene says, 'No, that was his nickname.'
Bruff calls this the 'worst episode' of Love Match ever and revolves to start the show over with a fresh batch of guys. But when he turns the chairs back around and introduces yet another new suitor, it's Bowen Yang dressed like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean.
'Where are they coming from?' Todd groans.
Appearing to promote Warner Bros' A Minecraft Movie, Black's outing tonight as host is his first in two decades and fourth overall. Elton John and Brandi Carlile are the musical guests.
Watch the sketch above.

Ocean's 14: Conclave Director Reveals Why He Turned Down Star-Studded Sequel
Nearly a year after it was reported that Conclave director Edward Berger was in talks to helm , Berger has now confirmed that he had already turned down the star-studded project. This comes after it was recently revealed that the acclaimed filmmaker was one of Amazon MGM Studios' frontrunners to direct the next James Bond movie before Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve landed the project. Why Conclave director Edward Berger turned down Ocean's 14? During a recent interview with Deadline, Berger explained the reason why he decided to turn down the opportunity to direct Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon in Ocean's 14. The All Quiet on the Western Front director admitted that he was initially tempted to accept the high-profile project due to the perks that come with directing a star-studded movie for a big studio. 'We were talking at that time, Brad and I, and yes, was I seduced by the thought of making something like that. I'm from a small place in Germany. I've never had those opportunities,' Berger shared. 'And suddenly Brad Pitt and George Clooney and Julia Roberts and Matt Damon, I would be able to make a movie with them. Ballad of A Small Player was a hard movie to make, and I felt like, wouldn't it be great to make a studio picture? The studio needs that movie, the stars want the movie, as does the audience. Everyone needs the movie. It's a franchise. I can pay my crew. I can have fun with them. It's a temptation.' However, Berger realized that it would've been difficult to make Ocean's 14 as his own, because he doesn't know if he can add something new to the incredible franchise that Steven Soderbergh had built. He also revealed that he called Pitt to inform the Oscar-winning actor that he wasn't the right guy to helm the movie. 'Deep down inside, I knew it's not my movie, it's Steven Soderbergh's movie. He invented that, beautifully. He made them, and I'm just following in his footsteps. What is new for me?' He continued, 'I love those movies, but in essence, I don't know what to add to what the great Steven Soderbergh did.' He added, 'And so in the end, I had to sleep eight hours. And I think maybe when I met you, I'd slept a week. But during the shooting of Ballad, it was tempting because I was so tired. And then I wrapped, I went to bed, slept eight hours, and realized, it's not me. I called Brad because we had talked a bunch of times. I knew he was open to doing something, and I basically said, I'm sorry, I don't want to do Ocean's and hope I haven't offended you.' In the early 2000s, Steven Soderbergh directed the remake of Ocean's Eleven, which also featured a star-studded ensemble led by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon. Due to its box-office success, it was followed by three more installments, including the spin-off Ocean's 8, which featured Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean, the sister of Clooney's Danny Ocean. The franchise currently has a combined worldwide gross of over $1 billion at the box office.

Kirsten (you didn't say it right) Dunst wants to be in ‘A Minecraft Movie' sequel to make a ‘pile of cash'
Kirsten Dunst wants to make a movie — and make 'a pile of cash.' In a recent interview with the magazine Town and Country, the 'Bring It On' actor expressed her interest in appearing in the sequel to the Warner Bros. record-breaking film 'A Minecraft Movie.' 'Maybe I can make a movie where I don't lose money?' she said. Dunst, who set the record straight on the pronunciation of her name on Wednesday (it's Keer-sten), has been acting since the age of 3. She last appeared in Alex Garland's dystopian war film 'Civil War,' which earned roughly $127 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The film became the second-highest-grossing film for A24. In comparison, 'A Minecraft Movie' made a 'pile of cash' more than Dunst's last three movies, combined — $955 million worldwide. In the interview, Dunst revealed she has a few projects lined up, including Ruben Östlund's film 'The Entertainment System Is Down,' Sofia Coppola's next film and a mermaid story with Oscar-winner Mikey Madison. The 'Interview With the Vampire' star's highest-grossing film is 2007's 'Spider-Man 3,' which earned $892 million worldwide. Dunst will appear next in Derek Cianfrance's crime romp 'Roofman,' alongside actor Channing Tatum. A sequel to 'A Minecraft Movie,' Warner Bros.' third-largest opening of all time, has not been confirmed, but director Jared Hess told Deadline that he is open to diving into the world of 'Minecraft' again.
