- How would you accessorize and wear the belt?
- Probably with the heels that I have to perform in
for my second number
and nothing else.
Just belt covering peesh and heel.
- Hi everybody.
Welcome to the Lip Sync Battle Preshow.
We're actually coming at you live
from our local emergency room.
Because this week's contestants are
ice-skating legends Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski
so we thought it would be cute to do the show on ice.
And turns out that that was what we like to call,
in the industry, a bad idea.
- I'm sorry, I think I'm concussed.
- Turns out that ice skaters train for years
to be able to do their stunts safely.
- Kyle the Intern's dead.
- Anyway, while Lee and I face
the ramifications of our hubris,
let's check in with our co-host,
Niki DeMartino who is with Johnny Weir.
- Hey guys, it's Niki, and we're backstage
at Lip Sync Battle with Johnny Weir.
- What what?
- You're known as a figure skater.
Totally different territory.
How do you feel going in to this
versus getting ready for your ice performances?
- I'm right there at a five.
Between one and ten, I'm right at a five.
Consider The Olympics a ten.
- Okay so do you think that she has
a big chance of beating you?
- She could, I mean, preparation is power
but, you know, I've got some moxy to me so who knows.
Who knows, I just hope we both do well
and nobody cries.
- How would you accessorize and wear the belt?
- Probably with the heels that I have to perform in
for my second number,
and nothing else.
- So why don't you look into the camera
and give us a little trash-talk to Tara.
- Tara honey, I love you and I hope you do well.
I can't trash-talk her.
I can't, she's my partner, my best friend,
I can't trash-talk her.
But I hope I win.
- Wow! If Johnny has the courage
to just wear the belt and heels all around,
he's gonna be quite the competitor.
- Okay, what? So we're just pretending
that the ice show didn't happen?
- But can he skate to victory against Tara,
his friend and partner?
- No one's notified Kyle the Intern's family!
- To find out, let's check in
with our friend Niki, who's talking with Tara Lipinski.
- Okay, they just think that he's busy,
and a man is dead!
- Hey guys, it's Niki, and we're here with Tara Lipinski.
- Hi.
- First of all, I just want to let you know,
when I was five years old I had you in a figure,
like, as a figure skater in a globe.
Me and my sisters all wanted to be you when
we were little. - Oh my god, that's so sweet!
Thank you. - Yeah we used to figure skate
so like this is really cool. - Oh that's awesome.
- So are you a lip syncer?
Do you lip sync on Instastory?
Do you lip sync in the car?
- I'm not much of a lip syncer,
so let's hope that, you know,
the show goes well.
But I do love to perform so I feel like
when I step out there, that's gonna be the best part.
Just to really be outrageous and over the top.
- Do you think that he has any weaknesses
that you'll be able to use against him
in a competition?
- You know what? I feel like I'm up against
really tough competition.
And I know he's going to go out there
and just kill it,
so I just have to like try my best.
- So why don't you give a little trash talk to Johnny.
Look right into the camera and tell him
what you want to say.
- Right Johnny, so I know you think you are
the ultimate performer, and you may be,
I'm not saying you're not
but I might just whip out some amazing things tonight.
- It was really nice talking to you.
- So nice to meet you!
- Seriously, like my little five year old
in me is like no way.
I know, I have to tell my mom.
- Okay well I have to admit it looks like it's shaping up
to be a wonderful battle.
I love how Niki had Tara in a snow globe.
- I know, it was so cute.
Do you own any snow globes?
- I can't look at anything winter related
without screaming.
