When you have to break out the safety goggles for a lip sync battle, you know things are about to get real.
Professionally delightful person Melissa McCarthy stopped by The Tonight Show on Monday night to promote her upcoming movie The Boss, and Jimmy Fallon challenged her to one of his signature "singing" contests.
Fallon started things off simply with Melanie’s 1971 classic "Brand New Key," and McCarthy blew him away with DMX’s "X Gon' Give It To Ya" from 2003. Fallon fought back with a deeply literal interpretation of Zayn Malik's "Pillowtalk," complete with pillow, but McCarthy more than outmatched him when it came to props: Her rendition of "Colors of the Wind" involved a wind machine, sprays of water, stuffed animals, and glitter-covered leaves.
Melissa McCarthy: Disney princess?
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
