Alex and Kelly’s TV wedding got the ultimate send-off — a game show hosted by Batwoman herself.

Days before Supergirl closed out its six-season run on November 9, 2021, TV Guide handed the mic to Batwoman’s Javicia Leslie and let her play host for a night. The result was an Instagram Live segment pitting Chyler Leigh and Azie Tesfai against each other in a superhero-flavored spin on The Newlywed Game, timed to their characters’ on-screen wedding in the finale. Leslie showed up fully in costume as Ryan Wilder, turning a promotional livestream into an actual Arrowverse crossover moment.

• Chyler Leigh (Alex Danvers/Sentinel) and Azie Tesfai (Kelly Olsen/Guardian) faced off in a Newlywed Game-style trivia format built around their characters’ finale wedding.
• Javicia Leslie hosted in full Batwoman costume as Ryan Wilder, bridging the two CW series for the segment.
• The questions covered both the real-life friendship between Leigh and Tesfai and the details of their scripted Alex-and-Kelly storyline.

A Send-Off Built Around the Finale Wedding

The timing wasn’t incidental. Supergirl wrapped its run on The CW on November 9, 2021, and the wedding between Alex and Kelly was one of the emotional centerpieces of that final episode. TV Guide’s live segment gave Leigh and Tesfai a chance to celebrate that storyline outside the show itself, turning a marketing livestream into something closer to a genuine cast reunion.

Format-wise, the game leaned on the same setup viewers know from the classic Newlywed Game — contestants answering questions about each other to see who really knows their partner best. Here, Leigh and Tesfai were tested on details tied to Alex and Kelly’s scripted relationship alongside questions about their actual friendship built over years of working together on set.

Javicia Leslie’s Costumed Cameo

What separated this from a standard promo appearance was Leslie showing up in Ryan Wilder’s Batwoman suit to run the whole thing. Rather than a straight interview format, Leslie played game-show host, quizzing her fellow Arrowverse leads while dressed for a different show entirely — a small but pointed nod to how connected the CW superhero shows had become by 2021.

Two Supergirl stars, a Batwoman host in full costume, and one Newlywed Game built around a superhero wedding.

The pairing of Tesfai and Leigh answering questions about each other, judged by Leslie-as-Batwoman, gave the segment a lighter tone than a typical finale-week press stop. It read less like promotion and more like three coworkers closing out a show together, which is exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes access fans of the Arrowverse had come to expect from TV Guide’s Instagram Live series. For readers who enjoy tracking how co-stars’ off-screen bonds play out publicly, it’s worth revisiting celebrities who knew each other long before their shows made them famous or checking out how some famous friendships eventually turned sour.

Supergirl’s finale closed out Alex and Kelly’s arc with that wedding, and this Newlywed Game livestream stands as one of the last pieces of cast-driven content tied directly to the show’s ending — Leigh, Tesfai and Leslie trading jokes about each other days before the series officially left the air on November 9.
