Hello, I'm Seth Rudetsky and I'm here with James Iglehart, I'm sorry
there's another equity member named James Iglehart, James Monroe thank you very
thank you very much, James Iglehart is my dad
and James Monroe?
is me!
gotta know that
Tony Winner, playing the genie, 25 minute long number in act one
it feels like it, but no it's only eight minutes and two seconds
you still got it! actually you're still in the group aren't you?
yes, I'm still in Freestyle Love Supreme
Freestyle Love Supreme is basically you and Lin, and what, Smashmouth? What's his name?
Shock Wave! Chris Jackson, who plays George Washington in Hamilton
and Daveed Diggs who plays President Jefferson in Hamilton
It's basically every talented person on Broadway and off!
so point is, they really are freestyle
yes and people just call out subjects and they do but but James also by the way
sings at the same time so it's rapping and singing and people think that is
pre-planned, but it's not, no it's not, so we're gonna do this, it's gonna be totally
freestyle hopefully it'll rhyme
my version of freestyle is four chords so I won't be freestyling but this thing was
the subject will be, why don't you Tony snubs?
oh I hate that word because just because you're not nominated doesn't mean your snubbed
it sort of does, so Tony snubs, James Iglehart, good luck
here's the rub some of y'all got snubbed it's really bad it's almost
like they gave you no love I mean how you gonna supposed to go to the show when
they don't even go to dr. Zhivago it's kind of messed up I mean it's in the
wintertime I'm not saying its a bad time to bust a rhyme
I'm just saying that the Tonys is kind of dissed for not even giving y'all a little Tony kiss but then of
course you gotta talk about the brand new I mean how you gonna slug It Should've Been You
there's so many friends of mine that are in that
show and yet the Tonys act like me they didn't even go now I don't want my
friends to see this clip and get mad but you know when you got snub it's like
really really sad I mean there are some places that got snubbed as well but we
won't talk about them because they're probably mad as hell I'm not gonna
nominate I mean the Queen she's from England I mean she's a dame I'm a how
you're gonna leave off the frickin name this is this I mean the Tony's one and
only me I didn't get the snub but then I won my own Tony
Amazing!
look who's impressed! everyone that's supposed to not really be here
We film them at the same time
So as you know, Iglehart is starring in Aladdin with Adam Jacobs, and I said I'm obsessed because
he basically upstages everyone with a 6-pack, by the way half Jewish which is why you have a 6-pack,
no Jews have an actual stomach
OK so stop upstaging both of us with the abs
do you have a random subject that you'd like Iglehart to rap about?
let's do Coke vs. Pepsi
I'll take it up a step!
this is kind of funny it's a child's story you can say maybe it's a different
kind of allegory but when I was about 10 years old Michael Jackson was the and
I just had to be down no I mean this brother had the cool white Club he had
the cool moonwalk and everything about him I love but the one thing I loved
about the brother like my lefse like epilepsy every time he drank it I had to drink my Pepsi
of course Pepsi goes against Coke, they have this little battle but of course I can't handle cuz I can't tell the
difference I didn't want to tell my mom that cuz it was true because she said
Coke tastes the same and I said no it doesn't dude let me tell you let me get
in there Pepsi gotta catch the way and she said catch the way his Coke like I
told you it's the same I said no not really
they're both dark and bubbly but I'm telling you it's Pepsi
because Michael thinks it's lovely Michael likes it I'm gonna like it
I'm gonna like it too but I found out coke really tastes better
Pepsi it really does, as of now I'm 40 years old and what is my wife
drink Diet Pepsi because you know it's not about knowing it's about making
knowing about thinking the thinking that that tastes better than that one it
really does that's why when I rap I got a rap about
the other one I love you but I can't drink you anymore I've got to drink the
Coke because the Coke and I adore the taste that it gives me will be diet or regular
I have to get on that because you think I will spell them back to you you can
understand the C okay Eve that's what I drink because I like the coke so I gotta
leave it alone Pepsi
that's not fair they had to be told I don't have abs, I have one ab one just one big ab
and that's probably from drinking too much coke
