[Cheers and applause]

Teigen: Ladies and gentlemen,

a man so cool, the word is in his name.



Give it up for LL Cool J.

[Cheers and applause]

Love that beat.

Gets me excited.

Welcome to "Lip Sync Battle."

You know what it is.

You've seen it on TV.
You've seen it online.

You've seen it everywhere.

You know the game is simple, okay?

Two stars lip-sync two songs.

The audience decides who did it the best.

You clear? You good?

[Cheers and applause]

And here to help me, as always,
is our color commentator,



the lovely, the talented...
my girl, Chrissy Teigen.

[Cheers and applause]

[Hip-hop music plays]

At stake is more than
pride, bragging rights,

and showing the world
you have lip-sync swag.

What's at stake is the greatest
honor a lip-syncer can attain...

getting to wear that championship belt.

- [Cheers and applause]
- You guys see this thing?

Look at it. It looks awesome, right?

Oh, my god.

Wait till you see what
we've got for you tonight.

You guys ready for a classic battle?

[Cheers and applause]

Let's welcome tonight's performers.

First up, she's an
Oscar-nominated actress...

a star of "Pitch Perfect"...

who has the perfect fake pitch!

Anna Kendrick.

[Cheers and applause]

And now let's meet her opponent...

actor, director, writer...
all those great things...

but more impressive, lip-sync
legend John Krasinski.

[Cheers and applause]

Yeah.

Okay, so we asked Anna who should go first,

and she pointed out
that as an Oscar nominee,

legally, she should go first.

Then John reminded Anna

that he's directing her
in her next film, so...

Pow!

[Laughter]

... you know, she wisely
decided John should go first.

Anna, have a seat in our V.I.P. box.

Enjoy the view.

[Applause]

Look, John.

Guys, this is LL Cool J. I'm sorry.

Is no one else freaking
out? It's LL Cool J!

Come on, man. There you go.

Ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah...

All right, you know,
don't... don't break this...

[Laughter]

- I don't know what that is.
- That's my fantasy.

Yeah, that's... oh.

- What is this?
- Don't worry about it!

- Why do you...
- This is a secret.

What's happening?

Look at my back. I got a lot of stuff, too.

Every dude here is like,

"how do you get a girl like Chrissy?"

And then you meet John Legend
backstage, and he's like,

♪ you're just ordinary people ♪

[Laughter]

And you're like, "okay. Yeah."

That's how you get a girl like Chrissy.

Okay, thank you. Yeah.

What's your first song?

My first song is... you
know, Jimmy Fallon thinks

he's a real good friend
with Justin Timberlake.

- He really does.
- Yeah.

But he ain't this good a friend

because I'm doing "Bye, bye, bye."

[Cheers and applause]

- Here with NSYNC...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.

- Well, then, you probably don't need this.
- I don't need that.

- Here with...
- Check one, check one. Okay, we're ready.

[Laughter]

Here, mouthing the words
to NSYNC's "Bye, bye, bye,"

Mr. John Krasinski.

Yo.

Yo, John, John. Come on over here a minute,

and holler at me a little bit.

- Holler!
- [Laughs]

I hurt my knee real bad.

No... [Laughter]

On the drop. It's bad.

I'm just like...

If we have ice, it would be amazing.

I didn't know you had that in you, man.

I don't.

- Explain the puppet thing.
- Oh, my god.

That's a marionette that I do

every Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

and it's kind of my thing.

- Pretty freaky.
- Yeah, it's kind of my thing.

It's not quite like that. It's like...

[Cheers and applause]

So, Anna, come on over. It's your turn.

Come on over.

[Cheers and applause]

Now, I know you have
something special prepared.

That's right, I do.

This song is from my heart,

and I'm excited to finally
share it with the world.

So, this is something that
you've never told the world.

They're getting a sneak peek
into the depth of your heart.

Into the old ticker.

- Into the old ticker.
- Yeah.

All right, well, ladies and gentlemen,

going in one direction, and
that's straight to the top.

Here is Anna Kendrick.

Emily!

Oh, wait a minute.

Can we get a close-up of this shirt?

Yeah.

Wait. Can I get a close-up of that shirt?

That's just me...

[laughter]

I'm not gonna lie. It
sort of hurts my heart.

Anna, is John's significant
other aware of... ?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, she knows.

She was super-excited.

- She was like, "I won't tell him."
- [Laughter]

- Emily?
- Oh, my god. She knew about this?

Yeah, Emily knows.

[Laughter]

Wow.

She was supposed to be
here, but she's in Dubai.

- Oh, boy.
- Classic Emily.

[Laughter]

Listen, if you want to know

what I think about that song...

Oh.

[Laughter]

I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna go. It's been fun.

That was a dick move.

[Laughter]

Chrissy Teigen, what do you think?

This is a tough one, I got to say.

I liked Anna a lot, because
she was no frills, just talent.

She didn't have to,
like, surprise everybody

and be a marionette or be weird.

She didn't need amazing dance moves?

[Laughter]

I will say, John,

I thought you would give
us Joey, but we got Justin.

- Thank you.
- I'm really happy for that.

- Thank you very much.
- Ooh.

♪ Bye, bye, bye ♪

John gave me a little wink, too, just then.

[Laughter] Yeah.

All right, we'll be back in a moment

with more of Anna
Kendrick and John Krasinski

on "Lip Sync Battle."

♪ She belongs to me ♪

♪ Out that door, baby, bye, bye, bye ♪

Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle."

Now, round 2 is when our
stars pull out all the stops.

They can do whatever it takes.

For one of them, it's
gonna be a win for the ages.

For the other, a date that
will live on in lip-sync infamy.

John is the one with his rep on the line.

Let's see how he got prepared for tonight.

A lot of people know that
I came up with this thing,

so it's my idea.

They take real good care of me.

This is Anna Kendrick's room, okay?

This is what plebes have
as their dressing room.

Come on in.

It's a really nice room...

for my dog.

Let me show you where I'm hanging out...

where they put the creator.

Blam... double doors, body guard.

This is my bartender just
hanging out, talk about stuff.

He gives me ideas, I tell him
they're bad... stuff like that.

I've been lip-syncing since I was 2 1/2.

As soon as I learned words,

I made a very bold
decision to not say them,

and I lip-synched them,

so instead of "mama" and
"dada," I just went...

Anna, I just think that
you're really special

and you're tiny and adorable,

and what I'm gonna do tonight is
I'm gonna put you in my pocket.

I'm gonna put you in my pocket,

and I'm gonna walk up to receive the belt,

give my speech with you in my pocket.

That's what's gonna happen tonight. Eat it.

[Cheers and applause]

[Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" plays]

You know...

Every now and then I think you
might like to hear something from us

nice and easy.

But there's just one thing.

You see, we never ever
do nothing nice and easy.

We always do it nice and rough.

So we're gonna take the beginning
of this song and do it...

easy.

But then we're gonna
do the finish... rough.

This is the way we do "Proud Mary."

Listen to the story now.

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules!

- John.
- Yes?

How did you feel up there
as you completely embodied

the essence of Tina Turner?

- Well, can I be honest with you?
- Yes.

I blacked out. How'd it go?

[Laughter]

For real, I don't remember anything.

Chrissy.

Wow. Wow.

What did you think of John's performance?

Sorry. Hold on. Before you answer.

Oh. Totally changes everything.

[Laughs]

I'm pretty surprised, I got to say.

I didn't know you'd pull out all the stops.

It's your own show, I guess, so...

The things you'll do, John.

Oh, thanks.

[Laughs]

Fired. Yeah.

[Laughter]

[Chuckling] Yeah. Just hold that thought.

Coming up, Anna has a song
with a really bouncy beat.

We'll be right back with
more of "Lip Sync Battle."

Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle."

John just showed us what he's made of,

and Anna's turn is next.

But first, let's check
out Anna getting ready

for tonight's "Lip Sync Battle."

I think rehearsals went well.

I think the energy of the crowd's

really gonna help me get there.

I don't like to peak during rehearsal,

so I'm just really excited
to feel the vibe in the room.

_

_

I think that John should
be afraid of me, generally.

This is kind of my area.

He might do it in the
shower, but this is my life.

You [Bleep] know my song, don't you?

'Cause you keep asking me.

I'm not sure that amateurs
should try lip-syncing.

You got to stay limber.

You got to have an incredibly healthy diet.

It's serious business, so...

Terrified. Just terrified.

I literally hate you.

I'm gonna be singing a little
ditty about the female form.

It's very tasteful, very well-written.

This is the last time I'm
ever gonna speak to you.

[Cheers and applause]

Chrissy, you want to

and, like, done the helicopter,

and it wouldn't have mattered.

Anna called her friend Jennifer Lopez.

But he could still try.

[Laughter]
