- Oh, are you kidding me?
Obviously I'm choosing Beanie Feldstein.
- [Zoey] Yeah, that's a no-brainer!
- How dare you put Beanie Feldstein as a choice
and expect me to choose anybody else!
- I act-- - I'm picking Billy Porter.
- Okay. - That's fair, that's fair.
- I'm obviously choosing Sarah Paulson
because she's a badass and we'd win.

This is tough.
(gasps)
You're gonna lead with a Beyoncé "Single Ladies"
and then also throw me a "Defying Gravity"
and finish up with an "I Wanna Dance With Somebody?"
(laughing)
Oh boy!

- That's a good idea.
- I love her.
- I think--
- Same.
- I think I'm also gonna do Kelly Clarkson
because it feels a little emo.
- Okay, listen, I feel like "Defying Gravity"
and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
are very difficult choices.
Because that range and that register needed.
- We can do "Defying Gravity" as a duet.
(gasps)
- That's beautiful.
- Clicking it!
- Click!
- I feel so lost.
(laughs) I guess if it's singing,
if it's singing and not dancing, "Defying Gravity."
(laughing)
- [Zoey] And finally, pick another Ryan Murphy show.
- I'm choosing Scream Queens, hands down,
it's the best show ever
and Halloween. - Glee!
