Lip Sync Battle - Season 1 Edit

A first class seat right over there.

A little salsa, get the party going.

About the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,

After that performance, I got to do this.

After tonight's competition, we will be friends.

All right, get over there. You gonna make the Rock jealous.

All right, it's time. Here I come.

All right, man.

All right, now. All right, yeah.

All right, so, Dwayne... ?

All right, so, Hoda...

All right, then.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. I wanted to see you guys side by side

All right. Well, let's do it.

All these rappers are singing nowadays, auto tune,

An NFL Hall of Famer always goes first.

And an emcee who's written so many great songs.

And boring the crap out of everyone,

And conquer and leave with the belt.

And everyone on the Lip Sync crew,

And he's also one of the luckiest men in the world

And he's just got to be a big boy

And her opponent, from Live with Kelly and Michael,

And here to help me out is our color commentator.

And his opponent... a lot shorter...

And I have to counter you.

And I know she will be fair and unbiased.

And I was like, oh, my god, this is gonna be awesome.

And I'm a little nervous 'cause they're friends,

And I'm not backing down from that,

And it just gets in their mouth,

And it was as awesome as I thought it would be.

And just do some Mike Jack.

And let people know how much they mean to me.

And lip sync at the same time [High pitched voice] on fleek.

And now it gets serious. Round two.

And now let's take a look

And put his big boy pants on.

And remember... knock 'em out the box, L.

And start walking the walk.

And that's exactly what I'm doing.

And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

And the audience decides who did it best. Okay?

And the beautiful Chrissy Teigen for being here with me.

And the competition is none.

And the rest of the lip sync crew,

And the winner and Lip Sync Battle champion

And the winner and Lip Sync Battle champion

And the winner, unquestionably, without a doubt...

And then Michael came out.

And they are in it to win it.

And they might not be after this.

And this is a...

And to see this... like, the split...

And you will be defeated.

And, of course, she said yes.

And, quite frankly, I'm terrified.

And, you know, working the crowd with Slow motion for me?

Anything can happen on Lip Sync Battle,

Are aimed to psych out their opponent.

Are used to you showing this much chest, either, John.

Are we clear?

Are you ready for an epic battle?

As Michael and Hoda get ready for round 2.

As you prepped for sir mix a lot's, uh, opus?

At how he prepared for the battle.

Audience, it's up to you.

Audience, it's up to you.

Baby Got Back.

Back right down for the championship belt?

Be ready with Tequila.

Be sure to check out our next lip sync battle.

Because she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?

Because win or lose, he gets to go home with Chrissy Teigen.

Because, at the end of the day,

Before we continue this battle for lip sync supremacy,

Before we go any further, a tribute to my host.

Being somebody's outside dick before.

Believe me, London Bridge was gone.

Bell Biv DeVoe is here!

Big movie star, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Both Hoda and Michael have something special planned.

Breastless!

Breastless?

But a real gentleman goes second to the ladies.

But for the Lip Sync Battle, the secret... don't use them.

But I have a belt that you can take home.

But I wasn't looking at her breaths at all.

But I wasn't looking at... Chrissy's breath.

But if it happens, it happens...

But it was always supposed to be funny.

But it's funny.

But Jimmy left me breas... breath... [Sputters, laughs]

But like Tay Tay, and like we all do,

But right now, it's competition.

But round 2 is make or break.

But the guy's got zero Daytime Emmys.

But you do, so that's very cool.

But you just won the Lip Sync Battle

But, by the way, I mean, that's the way I walk every day.

But, hey, I got... that was strong.

But, Jimmy, what's he gonna put that around?

But, look, see that belt up there?

But, oh, my gosh.

But, you know, who understands those rap guys?

By Harry Belafonte.

Can I see this jacket really quick?

Can I tell you it's the total opposite of me?

Can you see the great John Legend doing...

Can you smell what I'm cooking?

Can't stop, can't stop.

Championship belt. How do you feel?

Check him out... lip sync training camp.

Check it out.

Chris, okay, here. Here you go.

Chrissy Teigen, what did you think, baby?

Degree of difficulty, and lip sync ability, okay?

Did y'all enjoy that?

Doing a lot of grinding, player.

Don't mess with drumming action.

Dwayne, come on over here, boy.

Dwayne, go relax. Have a seat.

Dwayne's going back to the '70s.

Easy, big fella.

Easy, big fella.

Especially our color commentator.

Even though you're not singing, it's very important.

Ever.

Every day on my show, we sing songs.

Everybody, say, it's on now!

Everyone has an opinion about who's in the lead,

Exactly.

Fallon: Okay, okay.

Fergie Ferg, what's up baby?!

First song's gonna be Jump In The Line

First up is a hip hop star, Golden Globe winner,

First up... 6 feet, 5 inches...

First we gonna take it to the dirty, dirty,

For giving tonight all they've got.

For his face off with Jimmy.

For one reason...

From this view, it looked pretty good!

Get in your opponent's face.

Get on up there, girl.

Get the party turned up.

Give her a round of applause. Thank you.

Give it up one more time.

Go, Chrissy! Go, Chrissy!

Golden Globe winner, as well, Grammy winner,

Good luck.

Good night, and remember,

Good night, and remember...

Grammy winner, a man cool enough to lip sync on this stage...

Guys, it's totally up to you.

Had that honor, right?

Have a seat next to Michael.

He comes to the concerts.

He looking like he ain't ready for what I'm about to deliver.

He might just be John Present for one day.

He needs mouth to mouth, Chrissy.

He put in 10,000 hours of rehearsal time.

He went R&B smooth on me.

He won't do it. Say something mean, John.

He's a big football player who's also a big, gigantic baby.

He's been running his mouth all week.

He's been telling the world he's gonna beat me,

He's gone gold. He's gone platinum.

He's like a part of the crew, not unlike you.

He's too nice.

Here is Jimmy Fallon.

Here to help me is our color commentator,

Here to help me is our color commentator.

Here we go.

Here with I Want You Back, Common.

Here you go, dude.

Here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, we got to live a little, now.

Hey, I was taught you go hard, or you go home.

Hey, man, we just came to party all night long,

Hey, man, you my man. We doing our thing.

Hey, yo, Jimmy.

Hey!

Hi, everybody!

Hi!

His opponent is a pop and R&B star,

Hoda and Michael have given the performances of their lives.

Hoda and Michael showed they have real chops,

Hoda just brought us some uptown funk.

Hoda Kotb performing 'Baby Got Back'!

Hoda Kotb!

Hoda, before tonight's competition,

Hoda, you're scaring me.

Hoda!

Hoda. Hoda.

Hold on a second.

Hold on a second. I got to do this.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Hold up, hold up. Hold up, hold up.

How are you still here?!

How are you, man?

How Common got in game shape tonight.

How'd you like that?

I am pointing to right from here...

I am singing some funk.

I am so embarrassed doing all those moves.

I am still here.

I am the greatest emcee of all time.

I appreciate that.

I can even lip sync words backwards.

I can hear Michael Strahan right across the hall crying.

I can talk backwards.

I can't believe it's just so round.

I can't even ask you... just talk to me.

I could tell he's done that before.

I couldn't keep up with the steps.

I didn't know her, you know, as Tay Tay.

I don't even know what to say.

I don't know about that one.

I don't know how to say it.

I don't know if anyone has ever uttered this before,

I don't know if his name will be John Legend no more.

I don't know if there's room for both of us out here.

I don't know if you saw it. I just snuck a couple in there.

I don't think the ladies

I don't vote, I don't vote.

I don't want him to trip.

I don't want to brag or anything,

I don't want to embarrass him,

I feel bad for you, 'cause...

I feel great, man.

I feel it already.

I feel like I should be going home with that belt.

I feel so good. I feel so good.

I felt I had to get in there

I felt like, how we say down in the south,

I forgot I was in a competition, man.

I got to do London Bridge by Fergie, you know?

I got to get in my zone right now.

I got to say, Michael, you brought it.

I got to take you out.

I got to warm up my vocals.

I had this made.

I had to bail out, you know what I mean?

I had to show the taco meat on the chest.

I have this really special alter ego

I have three.

I just want to wipe that image from my mind.

I just... Just put in a little extra lip movement.

I killed him.

I killed you.

I love it.

I love it. No question. I was lip syncing it...

I love its curves and its edges and its perfect imperfections.

I love you so much. Uh, that's all. Yeah.

I love you, brother.

I love you, too.

I love you. But I love you.

I loved that.

I mean, her butt, it's just so big.

I mean, is that just a gift?

I mean, sometimes, just talking to people,

I mean, you gave Usher a run for us money

I mean, you really embodying Lionel right now.

I mean, your jacket... you matched it today. I love it!

I need five min... I need five minutes.

I never really sang about

I never thought in my life

I picked...

I see this pool of kids right here...

I still love you. I still love you.

I think Dwayne wants a word with you in the lounge.

I think you guys should arm wrestle to see who goes first.

I thought it was amazing.

I told you I was coming to win the title, Jimmy,

I told you I'm gonna come in, I'm gonna take the title,

I try to fight with him, and he will not.

I want to get a party, I want to get a dance group going.

I was helping him too much.

I was sitting over there, so from over there,

I watched these two gentlemen rehearse,

I will dominate this competition,

I will lip sync the hell out of these songs.

I will never use that term to describe myself...

I would hear LL Cool J say the words,

I'll just tell you...

I'll tell you what... then, Jimmy, you sit down.

I'll tell you, for a morning girl,

I'm a competitor. I'm a winner.

I'm about to have a heart attack.

I'm already winded.

I'm cooking some food.

I'm cool, just like Bruce Lee.

I'm gonna be a bad mother[Bleep] up there... boom...

I'm gonna get a lot of sympathy votes from the crowd.

I'm heading to New York City, my home away from home,

I'm impartial, I'm impartial.

I'm like, how crazy is this prenup?

I'm like, yeah, baby, give me... like,

I'm like... I'm, like, racking my brain.

I'm living my alter ego.

I'm LL Cool J, and for me, Chrissy,

I'm LL Cool J, for me, Chrissy,

I'm LL Cool J. And from me,

I'm ready. Where's the Tequila?

I'm so disturbed by John right now.

I'm so good at lip syncing,

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, what'd you say?

I'm sorry.

I'm the mother[Bleep] Rock.

I'm, like, looking for other husbands right now.

I've been buttoned up too long singing this R&B, man.

I've flown all the way up to New York City.

I've never seen you move like that ever.

If Michael Strahan can tackle his next song.

If you watch this performance, you gonna feel, like,

In case I take my shirt off or something.

In order to prepare for Lip Sync Battle,

Including Hoda Kotb singing Baby Got Back.

Is Common.

Is Hoda Kotb!

Is it Common...

Is the winner Jimmy Fallon?

Is the winner Michael Strahan?

Is you watching the steps of a champion.

It ain't gonna be legendary, you know?

It does.

It gets crazier, too.

It is so big.

It looked like you've done it before.

It must be freeing to get out here

It sinks.

It was almost too good.

It was fun because, you know, Mike knows the songs.

It's been a great night.

It's called splitting them cakes, I guess.

It's cold outside. We understand.

It's coming.

It's my home away from home.

It's not going home with you.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's on now!

It's the Jackson 5 I Want You Back.

It's time to select the new champion.

It's too much. It's too much.

It's your host, LL Cool J.

Jimmy Fallon, I'm coming to kick your ass,

Jimmy had to put in some real work in this.

Jimmy, obviously you were divinely inspired.

Jimmy, you're up.

John hasn't been talking smack to me,

John, come on up.

John, I'm so sorry I'm tough on you.

John, nobody could touch you tonight.

My heartbeat is racing.

My last name is Legend. His name is Common.

My man Dwayne Johnson will have a chance to redeem himself.

My other personality just happened.

My running man was so off beat.

My secret weapon is gonna help me win this competition.

My true calling is to be the greatest emcee ever.

Next up,

The man, the myth, here's John Legend.

The man!

The moment has come. Chrissy, the belt, please.

The point is, I came here to kick ass,

The running man is kind of strenuous.

The songs the performers pick

The taco meat!

The vibrations of me singing.

There it is.

There was some tension.

There you go, man.

There's a lot of things you can do to prepare for Lip Sync Battle.

There's a reason why they call me the jabroni beating,

They didn't want to hear each other.

They know how to party down there!

They know where the party's at!

They only talk to her

They pick songs knowing the audience is looking for style,

They want to know, what's your first song gonna be?

They'll be great lip syncers here on Lip Sync Battle.

They're very into it. You guys excited to see them?

This happens to us all the time, honestly.

This is all about me showing people what I was born to do.

This is my entourage.

This is what I have to do to find my inner peace.

Three. But who's counting?

To be the Lip Sync Battle champion.

To get off your chest with that, man.

Tongue wrestling champion of the world.

Two day old, stale horse[Bleep] but that's okay.
