Claim to Fame s Monay has revealed that she has gotten a new inside joke with her dad following the last episode.

Monay, who made it to the finale of ABC's Claim to Fame without anyone trying to guess her famous relative, surprised everyone by revealing her name is actually Jerrica Brooks but she wanted to throw people off her scent since she was named after her big shot father Jerry Brooks.

However, in the final face-off of the game, Gabriel won the game by figuring out she was the daughter of Curb Your Enthusiasm star J.B. Smoove.&nbsp

In her exit interview, the season 2 runner-up tells Entertainment Weekly(EW) why her father was nervous about her being on the reality show and revealed that they had a new inside joke about Steve Harvey thanks to the show. 

In the interview EW asked Monay, you had such a good game. You were working so hard to keep people thrown off to protect yourself and your allies. Are you happy with the way you played?

To his Jerrica Brooks replied: Oh, yeah, I had a blast. I had a blast some days. I miss it. I'm super competitive so I felt really in my element.

When EW asked her how early she felt her celebrity relative will be discovered and how she felt about the clues they showed?

Jerrica answered When I first walked in that house, I saw there was a curb and I was like, Oh, no, but it was next to a bloody knife, so then I [said], Oh, somebody from It is in the house. I just tried to angle it that way. I tried to see exactly what clues they would use so when I asked Gabriel to pull my clue, I had a big feeling it was going to say Curb Your Enthusiasm. And I would hang out with Gabe a lot and I knew for sure he's never seen that show. It was a big risk, but I knew if he pulled it, he would show me. Then I could strategize from there. It worked out. I made it to second place.

The interviewer also asked: What did your dad say when you told him you were doing the show?

Jerrica Brooks answered: At first he was really excited and then like two days before he got nervous because I'm an only child and I work directly with my dad all the time. Day-to-day, we're hanging out, emailing back and forth, doing calls together. So when I said I was gonna go on the show, he got nervous. He's like, who's gonna take care of everything? I'm gonna miss you, blah, blah, blah. But I made sure he was set up fine and then he was excited for me again. He just gets nervous.

Jerrica also mentioned that her father watched the show everyday and was always interested.

The EW interviewer further asked Monay, how her father felt about who people guessed he was.

That was when she revealed the inside joke saying: Oh, the Steve Harvey thing? He was cracking up. He was like, Steve Harvey?I was like, Yeah, that's my new dad. So it's a running joke in my house now.

Monay mentioned that she had met Steve Harvey as her dad and him had a nice relationship.

Monay lastly spoke about how happy she was to be on the show and how she made good friends like Gabe and J.R who showed her true love upon her entrance into the show.
