What? You're handing out carrots? So, Chrissy.
Completely correct about degree of difficulty.
That is just a ton of words and names.
I didn't even know half of them.
I have no idea what that song means.
I had to start to introduce all these elements.

You're still chewing.
You you are very method.
You ate it.
I was hungry.
- (LAUGHING) - LL COOL J: All right! So, Jason, as far as that song.

How's your dance number going? Half of it's really good, and I feel like the other half of it will be okay, but I mean, I'm having trouble That.
I can't do it as well.
I want to naturally go like that.
- That's actually that's great! - You think? Truth is, Big Bird is so nice.

Did you like did you like the costume? Do you like the costume that Jason's wearing? You know what? I thought the whole thing was great, - but I do have a question! - Yes, sir? How'd you grow that mustache so quickly? After a certain period of your life, you just start growing these things, and then, uh, you'll be surprised.
It just happens so fast.
That's really great.
Jason, like, throughout your career, you've played some complicated roles, right? Where does battling a TV icon on national television rank? Highest.
