Again, no spoilers, but there's one hell of a secret cameo in the movie's third act, one that's too delicious to give away because it's so damn unexpected.

Big-budget studio comedies do have a habit of stunt casting A-list actors in shock supporting roles - like Jeremy Renner's random appearance in The House last year - and Game Night pulls its own surprise star out of the bag.

The actor, primarily known for their iconic TV work, shows up out of nowhere and clearly relishes playing the part they're given. If you haven't seen the film yet, stay off Game Night's Wikipedia page, because the cameo is given away without any warning whatsoever.
