"Sherlock" actor Benedict Cumberbatch recently found himself in a hilarious situation. The newly-engaged actor appeared on "The Tonight Show" and the host of the show Jimmy Fallon made him play his new game, "Three-Word Stories." As part of the game, Fallon and Cumberbatch went back and forth to make each other guess the mystery word. It is for the word "Booty" that Kim Kardashian's name popped up. Recently, Kardashian hit the headlines for baring her famous bu-- for Paper Magazine.

On "Tonight Show," Fallon said to Cumberbatch, "Usually guests come on the show and tell their own stories. But tonight, I thought we switch it a little bit and tells a story together. ... It's a new game called "Three-Word Stories."

According to the rule of the game, a participant has to guess the word on a card, picked from a deck, when his turn comes. The other participant gives him the three-word clue. Fallon pulled the card with mystery word "Unicorn" written on it and Cumberbatch guessed the word correctly in his second attempt.

Cumberbatch laughed a little when he picked the card from the deck, as the mystery word was "booty." The clues that the actor gave Fallon included "you've got to ...," "shake the ... shake," "at the top." When all these clues failed to make Fallon guess the right word, Cumberbatch said, "a beautiful, big." This made Fallon burst out laughing and Cumberbatch also cracked up. Fallon blurted out, "Kim Kardashian's bu--." Cumberbatch continued the game, "makes lots of." Falon completed Cumberbatch's three words, saying, "Money for Kanye." It is when Cumberbatch said "Money is also" that Fallon guessed the mystery word as "Booty."

Meanwhile, Cumberbatch will be reuniting with his "Sherlock" cast to film the one-off special "Sherlock" episode. The filming of this episode is scheduled to begin in January. The production schedule for the three episodes of "Sherlock" Season 4 has not yet been revealed.

The one-off episode is expected to reveal how Moriarty's gif appeared on TV screens across the country. Meanwhile, Mark Gatiss, co-creator of "Sherlock," has said to Radio Times, "You can always expect tragedy as well as adventure [in "Sherlock" Season 4, that's just how it goes."

Cumberbatch recently announced, through the Birth, Deaths and Marriages section of The Times, that he is engaged to British theatre director and actress Sophie Hunter.
