(upbeat music)
- This week on Lip Sync Battle Preshow,
you're gonna see Elliott's hilarious interview
with supermodel Ashley Graham.
- Oh, as well as Lee's riveting interview
with comedian Jermaine Fowler.
- Thanks, buddy.
- You're welcome, Lee.
(laughing)
- We've been going to couples therapy.
- We have.
The producers said that our constant bickering
was making the audience very uncomfortable.
- Like you can tell--
- Yeah.
- That we hate each other.
- It's hysterical.
- I think it's time
that we get to know this week's contestants.
(awkward laughter)
- Hey, guys.
I'm here with Ashley.
Ashley, how are you feeling going into
your very first Lip Sync Battle?
- I'm feeling ready, prepared.
- Good.
This is the cherry on top of my whole career.
- I love that metaphor.
So, it's all downhill from here you could say?
- No. (laughing)
- OK, good.
- I like that, keep that.
It's a good positive spin.
I think that's pretty good.
- Never!
- No, that's a good, yeah.
- You gotta stay --
- Yeah
- Right down the barrel.
Did you get any advice going into this
prior to like getting here today?
- Yeah, I just like, confidence.
Own it.
Be yourself.
I'm wild and crazy a little bit, so --
- Sure.
- You know, just like, own the crowd.
- Yeah, speaking of crowds, now,
you're going up against Jermaine Fowler.
- Yes.
- A comedian.
- Actually, so, we met.
I was doing a lot of trash-talking.
I didn't even really wanna like talk to him.
I was like, "I'm gonna beat you",
and as I'm saying, "I'm gonna beat you",
I tripped and fell.
(laughing)
- Oh, good.
Good.
That's a good sign.
No, I think that's a good omen.
- I tripped and fell!
- You got it.
- And then so, I was like,
"OK, so maybe I shouldn't do any trash-talking."
I'll just prove it to everybody that I'm just better.
- That's great.
Does it intimidate you that Jermaine is a comedian,
so he knows how to work a crowd?
- No.
No, I didn't even think about it.
Thanks for pointing that out.
- Yeah.
Yeah, before the interview they were like,
"Definitely try to get in Ashley's head
as much as possible --
- (laughing)
- Because she hasn't had a rough enough time already."
- Honey, I have walked in loungerie on a runway show.
So, it's like --
- [Elliott] Yeah.
- At least I'm clothed in this.
- Try to get in Jermaine's head.
Really mess with him.
- OK.
Jermaine, you already saw me at my lowest point,
and I'm not going any lower than that today,
so I hope you're ready.
I hope that you aren't,
I'm really bad at trash-talking!
I just --
- [Elliott] That's good.
- I hope you do a good job,
but I'm gonna win.
- That's the best.
I think that might be the best we've done so far.
That was perfect.
Thank you very much, Ashley.
- Thanks.
- I appreciate it.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- We are here with Jermaine.
How are you feeling going in?
- I'm feeling pretty damn good.
How are you feeling?
- Oh, my God.
Thank you for asking.
Nobody --
- Nobody asks the interviewer that.
- No one does!
- No does it.
- I'm nervous for everyone.
I'm elated.
I'm excited.
Pensive.
- That's a lot of information.
- Thank you.
So, do you like donuts, in fact, or no?
- Yeah, but not the, I don't like all the,
the donuts with all the toppings on them.
I'm just regular glazed --
- You're a plain, regular guy?
- Glazed, glazed, glazed guy.
- Good for you.
- But that's not plain though.
It's still --
- It's called old-fashioned.
- No, old-fashioned is old-fashioned.
Glazed is glazed.
Old-fashioned is the very crumby ones.
See, working on that show you learn a lot about donuts.
- You do learn a lot.
- Now you are going up against Miss Ashley,
and she is a supermodel
- Graham?
- Graham.
- That, yeah, Graham.
- Graham.
- Yes, a lot of Ashley's out there.
- [Lee] Yeah, there is a lot.
- There's only one Ashley Graham.
I'm ready to bring my A game.
Hope she's ready.
I mean, you know, I'm sure she is,
but hey, I'm sorry,
but I'm gonna have to kick ass.
- Yeah, kick ass.
Take names.
Ashley Graham.
- Graham!
- Now she had a lot of trash-talk for ya.
- Oh, that's fine.
- She said that she trash-talked
and actually ending up falling down.
- That's karma.
You know, listen, when you're a good person,
you don't fall in front of people.
- [Lee] Yeah.
- And she obviously is not a good person.
Maybe learn to walk before you learn how to lip sync.
- That is a supermodel burn --
- Yeah.
- That you didn't even know you did.
- Didn't even know.
See how good I am at this?
- Ashley, look, (laughing)
- Learn to walk.
- Anyway, look, let's have some fun Ashley,
but look, man, just lace up your boots.
- Thank you so much.
- You're very welcome.
Thanks for having me.
I appreciate it a lot.
- Thank you.
- Cool.
- Wowee.
I am so sorry about that interview.
I had no idea that Jermaine was going to bring up --
- Donuts.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what, Elliott?
I'm gonna talk about it.
I am.
I'm Lee Newton, and I'm donut blind.
- OK, yeah.
- And there is a very small fraction of us,
but we're real,
and we are here.
- Lee, is that like, is that like being color blind,
but with donuts.
- It's exactly like that.
So when Jermaine started spouting off
different kinds of donuts,
I panicked.
I short-circuited.
I've never known what it's like to be able to identify that.
Glaze is a glaze.
Old-fashioned is an old-fashioned.
I just, I wish, I wish it were that simple.
- I know.
You are so brave.
- I'm d oing a 5K later if you'd like to --
- (coughing) No.
- Check out Jermaine Fowler and Ashley Graham
on this week's Lip Sync Battle.
- Bye.
God, we nailed that.
- I think so.
- I think we nailed that.
- I think so.
- Nailed it!
- Sold it!
