Last night on CBS’ The Late Late Show, David Schwimmer and host James Corden threw down in a “Drop The Mic” rap battle, and some hilarious rhymes were dropped.
Corden began with this: “Millennials, let me introduce you to this guy. His name is David – he was famous in ’95. He was on TV then. Now it’s 2016, and he has no Friends.”
Referencing Schwimmer’s new role in The People v. O.J. Simpson against him: “He was a Kardashian on TV, but that was only for pretend. You played Robert, and that was a great combo. But you were so white, you shoulda probably played the Bronco.”
Schwimmer was not intimidated, opening his salvo with this: “We all know as an actor your roles were all the same: the heavy best friend, the humorous side-kick with a belly so big you can’t find your own –.”
Along the way, the former Friends star took aim at Corden’s weight (“They know me in Japan; they know you at In & Out”), and TV pedigree (“You’re late night; I’m prime-time. You’re cola, I’m fine wine.”)
The battle looked like a draw until Rebel Wilson crashed the party with rap attacks for both Corden (“Carpool Karaoke, you think it’s your big thing. But everyone is thinking, ‘Shut up and let Adele sing.'”) and Schwimmer (“David, your career – it’s a huge mistake. It’s like Ross and Rachel; it’s ‘on a break.'”).
Some fun stuff here. You can watch the full battle royale below.
Thrilled to see A FEW BEST MEN finally get a DVD and On-Demand release here in the USA.
I got to attend the world premiere a couple of years ago in Australia and thoroughly enjoyed it. Olivia Newton-John breaks out of “good girl” mode and gives her funniest performance to date.
And, of course, PITCH PERFECT star Rebel Wilson never disappoints. Plus, side men Xavier Samuel and Kevin Bishop are hysterical at those “best men.”
Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect) and Olivia Newton-John (Grease) deliver massive laughs in this wickedly funny comedy about supporting your best friends “for better or for worse.”
When David unexpectedly gets engaged during a whirlwind vacation, his best friends are determined to send him off into married life in signature style.
But when they arrive in Australia for the ceremony, the nuptial plans go from bad to worse as the guys discover that unpredictable relatives, a cross-dressing sheep and a deranged drug dealer don’t necessarily add up to a match made in heaven.
It’s going to be a day no one will forget in this hilarious film also starring Laura Brent (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2), Kris Marshall (Love Actually) and Kevin Bishop (Muppet Treasure Island).
Available May 5th.
