(upbeat music) (crowd applause)
- Good evening folks.
I'm Elliot Morgan.
- And I'm Lee Newton.
- Anyway, tonight we're performing in front of this fake
live studio audience because our contestants this week
are very real late night talk show legends.
(applause)
- On with the show!
(upbeat music)
This week, Lip Sync Battle welcomes two TV giants
to the stage, Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson.
- Oh man, Lee.
I remember being a kid and just imagining
what it would be like to be interviewed by these guys.
And now, we're interviewing them.
- I know, it's crazy right?
I mean I did too.
- Really? - I imagined that too, yeah.
What did you think you'd be interviewed for?
- Just solving Y2K and inventing the perfect hug.
What about you?
- Oh um, I was gonna ribbon dance dolphins
away from dangerous fishing nets.
- Some drams just die, you know?
Anyway, while Lee and I reconsider our lives,
let's do a recap of last week's episode with the
Battle Breakdown. - Battle Breakdown.
(cracking)
- Thanks Lee and Elliot.
I'm Matt Steffanina and this is Battle Breakdown.
Now, last week's matchup truly took flight
and by that I mean the contestants literally flew.
First off, Don Cheadle's sprinkled LSB fairy dust
on himself and Mase, rendering both airborne
for his performance of Mo Money Mo Problems.
Now this elaborate stunt cost the studio
at least 10,000 problems,
but, not to be outdone in the aerial department,
here's Wanda Sykes casually entering the studio
on a freakin cloud.
Sykes literally ascended to Lip Sync Battle immortality
with this performance of George Michael's Faith
proving that the entrance really does set the tone
for the performance.
So congratulations to Wanda and Don,
you guys totally brought it and back to you Lee and Elliot.
- Wonderful, just wonderful.
I sat down with this weeks contestants to see how
they were preparing to take each other down.
Check it out.
- Wait Lee, you made sure that they edited out
where Jay and Craig were like funnier than we are, right?
- Yeah, duh.
- Okay, great.
- We are here with Mr. Jay Leno, how are you feeling?
- I'm good, how are you doin?
- I'm doin good.
I'm not lip sync battling though.
- Well this will be fun.
Well, if I was really singing I'd be worried,
let's put it that way.
- [Lee] That's true.
- Obviously I do not express myself through movement.
I think that's fairly obvious. - Sure.
- Standing in one place- - Some would beg to differ.
- On the Tonight Show for a long time.
So, I want to have songs that had just a bit of fun to em
as opposed to just straight on rock and roll.
Songs that sort of, might make people laugh a little bit.
= Craig Ferguson is ready to put up his pink slip for a car
to bet that he's gonna win the lip sync battle bet.
- Really?
- Yes.
- You know he has a, he was in a punk band for years.
- That's true.
- So he might have a leg up on me on there,
but I am older.
- Oh, and wiser.
- Well, I don't know about that, but it'll be fun.
We're good friends so we'll see what happens.
- So you're ready to make it happen?
- Yeah, I think so.
I think I have some surprises for him.
- If you were gonna put pink slip to a car?
- It would be your car.
- My Geo Prism?
- Yeah.
- Ohh!
- Oh, a Geo Prism no.
Then I would hope I would lose.
Oh I won a Geo Prism, oh thank you.
- It's a dream.
It's a dream come true - But I have a boat anchor.
- Trash talk time.
But just do it to that yellow tipped camera right there.
- Hey Craig!
- [Lee] Oh here it is.
- You're deported pal.
- Oh!
- You're outta here.
You and your ilk.
- I can do a Scottish accent, but it always sounds-
- Let me hear it.
- Donkey, how are you?
That's it?
That's about it, it's like fat bastard meets, uh Shrek.
- Yeah that's more Mike Myers impression,
but it's good.
- But I nailed the-
- It's no Geo Prism, but it's good.
- Look, she's beautiful.
She has flames on the side of her,
I think you're really gonna love it.
- Did it catch fire?
- Yeah, couple times.
- Not intentional flames.
- No.
So, we are here with Mr. Craig Ferguson.
- You look good.
- Thank you!
- Are those marijuana leaves on your shirt.
- You know what, I actually like to judge people
based on what they think it is.
- Marijuana and pineapples.
- I've gotten wieners, marijuana, and pineapples so far, so.
- This night is young.
- Yup, lucky you.
Lucky, lucky.
- Usually it doesn't go in that order.
- No.
- Usually it goes pineapples, marijuana, then wieners.
- Then wieners, yeah no I know.
How are you feeling going in?
- Vulnerable, but still masculine.
So far I have retained my dignity.
I mean, it's weird going up against Jay
cause I kinda wanna throw the show.
- Oh really?
- Yeah, I feel like if he doesn't win, it would crush him.
What's he gonna do, cars?
It's gotta be a song by Cars, or somethin about cars.
Here in my car, I got a car, by the Cars.
- We asked Jay if he would give a pink slip
as a betting tool to see if he'd win the-
It was a no go, none of the cars get to go to you.
- He doesn't give away cars.
I gave him a car once.
- Really?
- Yeah, his last day at the Tonight Show,
I give him a car as a present.
It was a piece of crap car I bought off Danny Bonaduce.
Can I tell you what I'm wearin?
- Oh, I would love for that to happen.
- Alright, I'm wearin a white dress with a gold cat on it.
- Madonna's Like a Virgin.
- No, it's not Madonna.
You see, you thought that but no.
I can't pull of that, Like a Virgin, anymore.
- [Lee] Fair, I get it.
- Too many pineapples, and marijuana, and wieners
under the bridge.
- If any historical figure, who would you wan to battle,
lip sync battle?
- Lip sync battle with any historical figure?
I think maybe Hitler.
- Sure.
- Cause that (cat meows) needs beat
ever time you get a chance.
- You have to, you have to.
- Take that you anti-Semitic (cat meows).
- If you had any trash words or kind words
for Mr. Jay Leno, would you say it into that
yellow tipped camera over there?
- I wish you luck Jay.
It's gonna be great watchin you singin and dancin
outside of the clubs we like to go to together.
- I am sexually attracted to Craig Ferguson.
- I get it.
- Yeah, right?
- Oh my goodness.
Everybody, join us next week for the Lip Sync Battle Preshow
and don't forget to tune into Lip Sync Battle
to see Craig Ferguson and Jay Leno go at it

Bye everybody.
- It's like a swagger, like a deep swagger.
- It's like he doesn't, he knows-
- It's a Scotsman thing too. - I wanna be like him.
I feel like they were still funny.
I love that joke where Jay Leno said he wanted to turn
your Geo Prism into a boat anchor.
- Yeah, he's a real cut up.
- Isn't this your?
- What the hell?
Thanks for the anchor, Jay.
- Pfft.
- Jay Leno stole my car!
Jay Leno stole my Geo Prism, Elliot!
- I know, I'm having a really hard time too
acting like I'm not enjoying this.
- Oh my god, seriously?
- Sorry, it's just-
- I'm like devastated about this.
