The answer is obvious, and after they each answer "bigger," Bennett wants to get an Up Top palm slap to celebrate. The height-challenged comic actor didn't count on just how much bigger these guys are than he is.
The spot premieres Saturday just as the best in college hoop stars make their way to the March Madness finals.
