Please welcome your host, LL Cool J!
I'm feelin' it. Hands in the sky.
Hands in the sky.
Now let me hear you say "yeah."
- Yeah. - Say "hell, yeah."
Hell, yeah.
Wow.
Welcome to the hottest spot in town,
where our celebrities bring their best
right here to the big stage.
We have a great show tonight, but before we get started,
you know I need to bring out the lady of the house.
She's our colorful commentator supreme.
The engaging, the enchanting...
Chrissy Teigen.
Get it, girl. Get it.
Get it, get it, get it. Get it girl, get it.
Oh! I think I flashed somebody.
Oh, Chrissy we're on fire tonight, right?
Meow! Oh, don't sue us.
No, no, no, no, no, don't worry about it.
Yeah, we'll edit that out. Not. Okay.
This show is always a blast, you know that.
But tonight, we have a little twist.
These are two very funny people
who actually play a married couple on TV.
We're used to seeing the sparks fly between them,
and I cannot wait to see what happens
when they go unscripted and get fierce-ish... fierce-ish!
I promised myself I would never say the word "fierce,"
- but that sounds good. - Fierce.
Sounds good. It sounds good.
So why don't you head over to your perch?
- Thank you. - Get on up there.
She's a talented comedian, model, and actress.
From "Black-ish," it's Tracee Ellis Ross.
Whoa!
Thank you. Thank you.
What? What?
And he plays her husband on "Black-ish."
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very funny actor and comedian.
We actually did a movie together, "Kingdom Come."
Please welcome my man, Anthony Anderson.
Are you not entertained?
He's okay.
Are you not entertained?
All right, all right, all right.
- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my god.
- You should be nervous, Tracee. - Oh, I'm nervous.
I'm gonna drop like it's hot!
Stretchin', I been back stretchin' all day for you.
Look at this, Tracee, look at this.
Oh, oh my gosh.
Yeah, get down there. I got you.
- I'll do it. - I got you. Go, go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God!
What the...
Now get up. Can you get up?
I did it, though!
- Get this started. - I'm impressed.
You guys ready for this?
Anthony, you're gonna go first.
Tracee, I'm gonna let you mentally prepare.
Okay. Anthony, come on over.
- Yes, sir. - It's your night.
- Yes, sir. - What are you gonna do?
I'm not gonna tell you what I'm gonna sing.
- I'm just gonna do it. - Okay, okay.
Secrets.

Yo, you just put some heat on that,
is this a new side of you?
Have you tapped into your inner Nicki?
Everyone should have an inner Nicki.
- Absolutely. - I want an inner Nicki!
But I got a Chrissy, and it's nothing.
No, it is not about that!
- It is! - No, it's a feeling.
It's a feeling. Okay, it's internal.
I hope so.
I gotta say I got a good view when I'm up here,
and I saw everything back there, and I enjoyed it.
- I enjoyed it a lot. - Thank you.
Tracee, head on over to the VIP.
- Okay. - Join your workman.
Tracee Ellis Ross brought that super bass.
Anthony Anderson requested that we do him.
That's just their first song. Stay right there,
the battles get even bigger when "LSB" gets back.
♪ Boom-badoom boom boom badoom-boom ♪
♪ You got that super bass, boom badoom-boom ♪
Welcome back to the party.
We've already had some battles to behold,
and the big ones are yet to come.
Can you handle it?
There's no guessing how this'll play out,
but before we see what Anthony's bringing into the stage,
let's find out what brought him to "Lip Sync Battle."
I gotta be prepared to compete against Diana Ross' daughter
in a lip-sync competition.
My strategy is to fill myself and ply myself with tequila.
It's all about putting on a show,
and I'm gonna put on one hell of a show tonight.
Yeah, that's great.
Love it. Awesome.
Whoo! Let's just show the world what this is all about.
... to set, please.
- Hi, - What do we got, mama?
We went to the same place that he gets his suits.
Aah!
I know the show is called "Lip Sync Battle,"
but I'm singing live.
Yes. I'm trying to get a deal out of this.
Hey, sweetheart, how are you?
- Ashley. - Ashley. Anthony. Love those dimples.
Confident...
Hey, Charmaine. Love that navel.
Arrogant...
All right, I don't love nothing about you.
All of that!
Hey, look here, girl, when you come out,
you stay down low 'cause I'm gonna jump over your back, too.
I'll be able to pop up on it, right?
- Yeah! - Thank you, baby.
- I feel good. - Excellent!
I don't wanna over-rehearse. Want to be fresh.
Ready music.
Ready, baby, it's game time right now.
Magic is about to happen.
Oh, oh, oh! Yeah!
Ohh!

Hey, you got little busy.
That one shoe gave you a little trouble.
You're determined, you stayed determined.
The shoe was too small. The shoe was too small,
I wear a 13. That was a 12.
I'm really grateful that shoe didn't come off
'cause he was about to move to the pants next.
Yes, I was.
She knows me so well.
- Chrissy. - Yes?
We caught you while you were eating?
I thought you were gonna eat yours
- I was about to go over there. - It's all good. Props.
That was a really quick relationship you had with her.
"Do me," and then, "(bleep) you."
Yes.
Gimme some! No? Well, the hell with you!
I've been there.
- Yep. - That's why I do this.
Anthony, head on over to the VIP.
All right.
Anthony said "Forget You" and when we come back,
Tracee's gonna try to bring a performance
that's extra memorable.
You don't wanna miss this ending.
Stay around for more "Lip Sync Battle."
We kept all this going while you were gone,
and now it's time for the final song of the night.
Anthony Anderson crushed a Cee-Lo track earlier.
Now he gets to take a knee in the VIP while his co-star
Tracee Ellis Ross primps for her performance.
While she's getting ready, let's take a look at her day.
One of the things about "Lip Sync Battle"
that people might not know,
there are so many cute guys here.
There is... I just want you to know I'm distracted
because there's a naked man in my eye line.
- And, sir? - _
- Thank you. That's all I can say. - _
- Thank you very much. - _
That's... no! I'm happy.
I don't want it to go too far.
Let's clear the stage,
I like this show. I'm liking it.
Oh, oh, oh!
- Hey! - Ohhh!
You don't want none of this!
Good.
Nice. That's awesome.
I'm about to battle in less than an hour,
and I have no idea what I'm wearing.
I kind of really love this.
There's no camera on me right now or is there?
'Cause this is what I'm going.
- How you doing? - I'm good.
- You good? - Yeah.
The lip syncs always look better if you...
- Sing. - Exactly.
My mother did give me that note.
Yeah, exactly!
Yes!
Great, I'm gonna go take seven naps.
Strike, please, moving on.
I don't know about all that, but, you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna commit no matter what happens.
Moons, planets, anyone, help me.

As a lover of girl power, too,
I really love that you had such supportive fellow prostitutes.
Oh, she fell into a bad life!
It doesn't matter what you do

wins the championship belt.
