Here's how they do it...
two stars, two rounds.

Round 1... each star proves they can sync.

And in round 2, they take it up a level...

special effects, dancers,
all that, all right?

The audience is the judge.

Whoever gets the crowd most hyped

wins bragging rights and
the championship belt.

All right?

[Cheers and applause]

Let's bring them out.

She's a rapper, actor, singer, and comedian

who is truly Hollywood royalty.

All hail the Queen,

my lovely and talented
friend, Queen Latifah!

[Cheers and applause]

What's up, everybody?

And her opponent comes from
the royal family of comedy.

He's been a little man and a white chick,

and tonight he's trying
to become a lip-sync champ.

Give it up for Marlon Wayans.

[Cheers and applause]

Where my love? Where my love?

[Cheers and applause]

"If you wipe your ass right,

Yeah!

Whoa, all right, all right, all right.

[Cheers and applause]

All right.

What the hell?

What the hell just happened?

[Laughter]

It's time for round 1.

[Laughter]

It's time for round 1. I'm
gonna decide who goes first.

Which one of you has more hit records?

Oh. Ohh!

Oh!

Well, then, you know what?
Wait a minute. Hold on.

If that's the case... if that's the case,

you can afford to sit on the throne

- for a second, Latifah.
- Ohh!

Marlon, you come on over.

Oh, wow!

Now, Marlon, what's
your first song gonna be?

My first song... this goes out

to all the miserable people out there.

If you got your heart broke
by some miserable-ass woman,

if you got your heart broke
by some miserable-ass man,

if you are just a miserable-ass person,

this ain't for you.

This for all the happy people.

This song's called
"Happy" by my man Pharrell.

Well, charging out the gate
with "Happy" by Pharrell,

here's Marlon Wayans.

It's a wrap.

Sexual harassment.

[Laughs]

Yo, Marlon, I'm not sure

John Legend is gonna be
happy with that performance.

You know what? I think
I might have got like...

'cause I was feeling on like 37 girls...

all y'all pregnant. That's it.

Hey, the whole crowd.
That's how we make Wayans.

That's how we do this.

Latifah... Lady Latifah,

what do you think? You ready to top that?

You think you got something for that?

I think he left it all on the floor,

and I respect and appreciate the effort.

All right. That's all I wanted.

But I think I got a more subtle approach.

Ooh!

Marlon, on that note,

you head on to the V.I.P., smoky.

Listen, subtle may work in the bedroom,

but it ain't gonna work
on this stage, you know?

Teigen: Ohh!

I like subtle.

It subtle ain't gonna
work, maybe sexy will.

Oh.

[Cheers and applause]

Whoo!

All right, now, look.
What song have you chosen?

I've chosen what's gonna happen tonight,

which is "Never Gonna Get It."

[Cheers and applause]

By En Vogue.

Oh! Well, hoping to come
out of the box strong

with "My Lovin', You're Never Gonna Get It"

by En Vogue...

[Laughs]

LL Cool J: So, was it hard channeling
four divas up there at once?

Or, how did it feel?
Was you feeling the vibe?

I love En Vogue. They're so fantastic.

Fabulous.

And sexy. And they just own it.

So I had to just come
out here and just own it.

Own it, baby.

Add the body.

Body that. Body that.

I bodied it.

Body that. [Laughs]

So, Marlon?

- Yeah, what happened?
- Marlon?

Yeah? Best honest...

did that performance
intimidate you a little bit?

Actually, I didn't even hear the song.

I was too busy looking at your cakes.

- It's awesome back here.
- Yes! Yes!

Same, same.

That's what it's all about...

cakes.

[Laughs] Oh, I love it.

All right, Queen. Have a seat in the V.I.P.

Marlon... yeah, yeah. Be
careful getting up the steps.

Chrissy, I want to know what
was going through your mind.

Oh, Latifah... she can get it.

She's got it.

LL Cool J: Ooh, baby.

- She can take it.
- She was good.

Ooh, baby.

Did y'all appreciate it?

[Cheers and applause]

All right.

When we come back, we're
turning up the volume.

Round 2 in all its
fist-pumping, knee-sliding,

pelvic-thrusting, hip-grinding glory.

The pressure to stay in
sync continues on "LSB."

Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle."

Queen Latifah and Marlon Wayans

are locked and loaded for round 2,

where anything is fair
game to grab the title.

Let's see how Marlon got ready
to try to overthrow the Queen.

All right, so, I'll see
you in a couple minutes.

That was good, girl.
We got to do that again.

- Tell my son I said hi.
- [Laughs]

A lot of time, people do
this show, "Lip Sync Battle,"

it's because they want to
come out, have a good time.

Hey, you, come here. Come here.

Not for me. This is personal.

Found out that Latifah
was gonna do the show.

That's when I felt like,

"okay, now it's time to settle the score."

First of all, she stole my part, right?

"Bringing Down the House"...
that was supposed to be me.

And she stole my music career.

'Cause I'm the one that was
singing first and acting.

Dana... that's originally my middle name.

And Latifah... that was my dog's name.

You going down, baby girl.

- Woman: Are you intimidated?
- I ain't intimidated by nothing.

Unh!

Yeah, you can rap. Yeah, you can sing.

Yeah, you can play instruments.

Yeah, you can host. Yeah, you can dance.

Yeah, what can't you do?

Take this, Dana.

So sorry.

I'm happy for you. Look at my smile.

[Cheers and applause]

Oh, my god.

Marlon.

I want some of that love.

Hold up. I'm having a moment now.

Oh, my goodness.

So, Queen, that song had to get to you.

Did it move you?

How'd you feel about that?

Well, I absolutely love that song.

It's a beautiful song.

And, you know, you definitely turned it up.

You got a nice tone. It was beautiful.

Lighting, candelabras, and all kind of...

I'm about to smash you. I'm sorry.

- Teigen: Oh!
- [Cheers and applause]

I love you. I love you, but...

Whoa.

Did she just lure me...

I hope everybody can catch,
'cause I'm coming out there.

Marlon, have a seat in the V.I.P.

I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding, Marlon.

I thought it was absolutely
gorgeous, seriously.

You just lured me in.

No, I thought it was beautiful.

Marlon just made us laugh.

When we come back, Queen Latifah
is gonna try to make them cry.

Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle,"

the only show where you'll see
huge stars having this much fun.

We're in the middle of round
2, where anything can happen.

Let's see how Latifah rallied
for her final bid for the belt.

[Cheers and applause]

LL Cool J is one of my favorite rappers.

He's the greatest of all time.

And so I just wanted to take it back

to our golden days in hip-hop

and just do a little something fresh.

Now, he has no idea that
I'm doing this song tonight.

As a matter of fact, hiding this from him

is the most difficult thing,
because he's so involved.

Beautiful, how you doing?

Please tell me that you're
gonna take it easy on me.

- Of course I am.
- Lyin' bastard.

What can I bring to the table,
as a rapper, that Marlon can't?

Everything.

You've been rehearsing like crazy.

I ain't rehearsed at all.

Oh, you lyin'!

Marlon, I don't know what
you got planned for me.

That flavor, it's a wrap for you, boo.
