They didn't know that when they cast me in the movie.
- They really didn't.
- Were you the head of the a cappella group, though? 'Cause John was in a cappella as well, but he would never I don't think I don't think so.
I don't think he would know how to put together an entire arrangement.
- Well - Are you kidding me? I don't I'm sorry, I don't know.
You don't think John Legend would know how to - Hey, John! - Where is he? John? - John! - Oh, okay.
I'm just saying, you wouldn't know That's literally what I did for my a cappella group.
- But you weren't like - I was the musical director.
I was gonna say you weren't the musical director.
- Just like my friend here.
- Okay, John.

Let's see how Nicole Richie got ready to move the crowd.
I don't know if you know this, but I do rap in my real life.
So, this is something that comes really naturally to me, and I am an incredible dancer.
I actually want to be Britney Spears' background dancer.
She hasn't called me.
It's so weird.
She didn't answer the door when I showed up at her house.
What's not to love? I'm talented, I'm dope, and I grow organic fruits and vegetables.
That's crazy.
You know, when I first met you, you were eight years old? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- That's crazy.
From the time he wrote Mama Said Knock You Out, I was like, "Oh.
He wants me to be next to him.
" So, I feel like his dreams are coming true, and I'm really happy that I can give that to him.
Uh, I'm sorry, who? - John Michael? - Michael Higgins.
Is his name John or Mike? I don't And here comes Nicole! Well, well, well.
Look who it is.
What's the matter, Nicole? Is it too sunny in here for ya? You gotta wear your sunglasses to see what a big man Oh, I'm sorry, I lost ya! Oh, there you are! I brought you these because you need an extra pump of coolness.
- You really think so? - I really do.
What if I wore 'em on my crotch? You know what? They don't really stay.
So weird.

I can too Come on, swing it - Come on, swing it - Ooh Now we come to the pay off It's such a good vibration It's such a sweet sensation Yo, it's about that time To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme I'm-a get mine, so get yours I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores On the house tip is how I'm swingin' this Strictly hip hop, boy, I ain't singing this Bringing this to the entire nation Black, white, red, brown, feel the vibration Come on, come on Feel it, feel it Feel the vibration It's such a good vibration It's such a sweet sensation Donnie D, break it down - Ooh - Donnie D's on the back up Drug free, so put the crack up No need for speed, I'm anti d-r-u-g-g-i-e My body is healthy My rhymes make me wealthy And the Funky Bunch helps me To bring you a show with no intoxication Come on, feel the vibration Yeah Can you feel it, baby? It's such a good vibration It's such a sweet sensation It's such a good vibration It's such a sweet sensation Yo! Nicole! Wow.
Wow! That break-dancing was off the chain! Why are your nipples so high? Yup.
I like my nipples high because I said so! So, what's your connection to the song, you know? Well, I've always identified with a narcissistic white rapper, and so I just felt like this is what I'm meant to do.
I love it.

Okay, so, Nicole brought the heat.

Now the hilarious John Michael Higgins has a trick up his sleeve to snatch a victory.
Let's check him out backstage and find out how he put it all together.
I have come here for one purpose: to snatch this belt.
Uh, I came with my peeps today.

Some of it's hair.
It's a little Welcome Back, Kotter, isn't it? Some of it's makeup.
Hey, I've got my makeup on! - Sorry.

Crotch team just does that.
Um, there's a lot to do.
It's a big job.
We have plenty of time for this big two-shot of the crotch, right? We can lose control.
That has happened several times.
I've had the crotch take a walk, as it were.
- Turn the cameras off, 'cause we love each other! - Yes! Nicole Richie has an advantage on me.
It's called "She paid the judges.
" You know, what is this thing they do now? Because I do look like Lionel Richie, 1978.
I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to frighten Nicole.
I think it's gonna work.
I'll just go out there, and I'll say, "Nicole, clean up your room!" I play a clean game.
I do not take steroids before I lip sync.
She's over there, she's got a Like, she's got this hypodermic needle.
It looks like a fire hydrant, and she's just, like, pumping these these, uh, you know, uh, performance enhancers into her ass.
Just day after day like this.
Hold on, before the next question It's a live show.
I gotta get my voice ready.
