People Puzzler‘s host Leah Remini is good friends with Burke, and was even the matron of honor at her wedding. Remini also competed on Dancing with the Stars in Season 17, placing fifth with partner Tony Dovolani.
On Tuesday, Burke shared a clip from an upcoming episode, in which she goes up against former DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his brother Val, who was paired with Olivia Jade this season. The Game Show Network show challenges contestants to complete crossword puzzles based on the ones in People magazine.
In the clip, Remini gives the contestants a “pop quiz,” asking them when her birthday is. None of them guess correctly, prompting Remini to say, “Wow, I guess my friends don’t know me as well as I thought.” Maks makes up for it by saying, “I celebrate you every day of the week.”
