Daphne Zuniga put the “moves” on Matt LeBlanc while they were both on set for the “Night Moves” music video. The Melrose Place actress recounted how she flirted with LeBlanc in Bob Seger‘s video during her appearance on Celebrity Name That Tune.

Zuninga is set to play against 90210‘s Brian Austin Green on the 90s Halloween special on Monday, October 12. During the “Spin Me Round” round, the wheel landed on Soft Rock.

When host Jane Krakowski asked Green how he felt about that category, he said it was his “favorite genre.” Bandleader Robin Thicke and the rest of the band played a song that had both contestants thinking for a few seconds.

Zuninga buzzed in first. “Oh!” she said. “Night Moves?”

“You’re crushing this, Daphne. Yes!” Krakowski said. “Night Moves by Bob Seger.” This gave her $3,000 while Green had $0.

Krakowski asked her if she was in the music video, and Zuninga confirmed that she was in it with LeBlanc. “It was kind of cool. We kind of made eyes at each other,” she said.

“Aww,” the host said.

Zuninga and Green will kick off the show’s first-ever Halloween episode while trying to win money for charity. Then, civilian players paranormal investigator Emily will take on supernatural writer Victoria in a monstrous round of Mixtape as they try to win $100,000 for themselves.

“We have a really fun Halloween-themed game where all of the songs are creepy, kooky, and mysteriously spooky,” showrunner Shane Byrne told us. “The only thing dressed up is the music, which is what Name That Tune is all about.” He also added that Thicke may sing his rendition of “Monster Mash.”

The EP promised that the civilian game will be just as fearsome as the celebrities’. “Nobody wants to look dumb behind a podium on TV. With the celebrities playing for charity and the civilians playing for life-changing money, everyone has something to fight for,” he said. “However, the celebrities tend to be much more vocal about their competitive feelings. They don’t hold anything back. And if the celebrities know each other, which a lot of them do, it’s an all-out war! In the nicest possible way, of course!”

Byrne went on to say that they will be “a lot more musical surprises” and fun theme nights in Season 6. Phaedra Parks and Carlos Boozer will face off on October 19, unless the World Series interferes with the episode.
