Michael, what's it like being here

Um, it is so surreal and

Morning in beautiful suburbia.

(laughter)

I have no idea what I'm doin', so...

I'm kind of a nervous wreck.

I'm really not, actually,
so I'm in denial.

But as soon as I come out of denial...

I'm a nervous wreck.

That felt good, right?

I tried to jinx him, get
into his head a little bit,

but it didn't work.

He just kept saying four-letter words.

I gotta (bleep) and (bleep).

I was like, "This is gonna be cute."

And then holy (bleep)!

That was so awesome.

You took it in a whole
different direction.

I mean, what was the mind set behind

performing Coolio on Lip Sync Battle?

Well, it... it was Coolio...
but it's also Stevie Wonder.

- Yes, it is.
- That's... that's close to my heart.

- Yes, it is.

And there's a... and it's interesting,
important social commentary,

social observation.

That was awesome.
It's one of my favorite songs.

That was incredible.

I didn't expect that.
Did you guys expect that?

- AUDIENCE: No!
- I didn't expect that.

That was sick. Good (bleep), dude.

(cheering and applause)

Well, Mike, you can go over
to the paradise of our VIP.

Have a seat, go have a seat.

Relax. Great job.
Make noise for Michael Bolton!

(cheering and applause)

Nothing hotter than Michael
Bolton leading the charge

in Housewives Behaving Badly.

And it's not over, 'cause Pete
Davidson's got somethin' to say

when we come back. He gets to sync it.

It's the vibe. It's Lip Sync Battle.

But how will he do
as a potential lip sync jam?

Guess there's only one way to find out.

Hey, do you wanna walk through it?

Yes.

This is the scariest
thing I've ever done.

Like I'm... I'm being very serious.

This is definitely the...
it's... it's terrifying

to lip sync and dance
in front of people.

Yeah, that's right!
That's how you do it!

This is (bleep) nuts.

I'll do it live for sure.

I just don't wanna embarrass
myself extra amount of times.

(laughs)

Follow me to my dressing room.

Are you nervous about
what we're about to do?

This is terrifying.

- It's nerve-wracking.
- I've honestly never been more scared,

- like, ser... in all seriousness.
- MICHAEL: So it's not just me.

(bleep). He can say
(bleep), but I can't.

- (needle scratching)
- Oh!

You got Bolton to curse.

Hello, Mom.

- I'm Pete. Very nice to meet you.
- How's it going, man?

- How's it goin'?
- Thank you for havin' me.

- Thank you for bein' here.
- Appreciate it.

I go with you? Thank you again.

- No.
- Not really?

- No.

I know, like, half the words
to, like, one of them.

Hi, Michael Bolton. It's an
honor to do this with you.

I'm sure a lot of my aunts and
grandparents are very excited.

LL: That was great. How did it feel,

doing a song that features Michael
Bolton in front of Michael Bolton?

I mean, that's one of my favorite songs.

I heard that when I was, like, 17,

and it was my favorite
Lonely Island song.

And I was, like... this is like a
dream come true. He's the man.

That's the funniest (bleep)
video ever, so.

(cheering and applause)

Yeah.

So, Mike, you hopped on that
Lonely Island track, right?

Did you ever think that it would go
that viral, just be what it became?

Nobody knew it was going
that big. Nobody knew.

But thank you. Thank... I think it's...
I think, with this performance,

it should pass 200 million views, so...

- (laughs)
- Let's go.

Absolutely. So, Mike...

could you just... just one time for me,

just humor me with that... just hit
that "Isle of Tortuga" one time?

Then Pete Davidson and Michael
Bolton came through and took LSB

to a whole 'nother level.

When we come back, the moment of truth.
Championship time.

Yep, and the winner gets home
with this 14-karat gold, baby.

I mean, I don't know the karats, but
this belt is gold, and it's begging

to be wrapped around somebody's waist.

Excited? Me too.
