Jimmy Fallon and actress Melissa McCarthy faced off in a lip sync battle on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

If you keep up with trending videos online, you would be familiar with lip sync battles – especially if you also watch late night talk shows on TV, like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Every late night talk show is unique – hosts have their own style and their own kind of humor. The biggest names right now in the late night talk show business are Conan O’Brien, James Corden, and Jimmy Fallon.

People enjoy watching Jimmy Fallon because of his silliness and spontaneity when it comes to interviewing his guests. His show is also known for the skits that he has celebrity guests be a part of. Some of the more popular ones include ‘Ew!’, ‘Mad Lib Theater’, and ‘Wheel of Musical Impressions’.

Skits are a great way to get celebrity guests to participate in the programme of the show, while also promoting their latest projects, and just to have fun.

Melissa McCarthy dueled Jimmy Fallon in an epic lip sync battle where they sang Zayn Malik’s ‘Pillowtalk’ and even ‘Colours of the Wind’ from Disney’s Pocahontas.

The challenge had Jimmy lying on stage with a pillow and the mic still in his hand as he lip synced to the lyrics, “In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day”, while Melissa had feathers, stuffed toys, and even streamers blown at her as she performed the Pocahontas theme song.

Ending the performance with her face completely covered in glitter, Melissa received a standing ovation from the audience – something you need to watch the video for yourself to believe it.
