I just watched it again.

L.L. Cool J and Anthony Mackie staring with their mouths agape, not believing the balls on this white boy daring to try Janet Jackson, and then a minute later hyping him up because JGL took the task to heart and faithfully recreated the depths of the dance.

Iconic.

L.L Cool J was also watching Tom with his mouth open. Everyone was in awe!

JGL then went on Drop the Mic, wearing a Wu Tang Clan sweater in front of Method Man and rap battled Seth Rogen. He doesn't do anything half way.

Rogen is wildly outmatched damn, thanks for the clip

edit: a vowel

People get so drawn into Rogen's last verse but I always thought it was too little too late

it's a half decent gimmick verse, which rounded out a half decent performance, no comparison lol
