You know, Merry Christmas,
Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa.
Happy Xmas.
Welcome to "Lip Sync Battle," the holiday special.
As you can see, we're decking the halls
and kicking off the merriest season of the year.
You guys have been giving us so much love,
and just wait till you see
what we've got for you tonight.
Two big-time movie stars are here,
and they're goin' all out
in our first ever holiday special.
It's gonna be crazy. Are you guys ready?
All right.
All right, listen.
Now, tonight, it's a full hour
of big performances and special guests
but before we set it off,
I wanna bring out my little reindeer.
She's a little dancer prancer,
a little dashin' ViXen,
our colorful commentator, Chrissy Teigen.

- Whoo. Hi, everybody. - All right.
- Chrissy? - Yes?
- Are you ready for the festivities? - Oh, I'm more than ready.
This is my favorite time of the year, you guys.
I feel like it's Christmas morning.
But no, it's nighttime party filled with amazing stars,
- and of course, incredible lip syncing. - Absolutely.
All right.
- Shall we light it up? - Let's light it up.
- Let's light it up. Let's do it. - Let's get it up.
All right, so, look.
We've got some big surprises planned
but the battle stays the same.
Two superstars, two rounds.
First round is just skills, no frills, lip syncing, okay?
Round two, our contenders add bells, whistles, dancers,
special effects, anything to shine bright
on this special night.
Then our holiday audience chooses who becomes
the new lip sync champion
and gets the ultimate tree-topper,
that championship belt right there.
All right.
You ready to bring 'em out?
We've got two of your favorite superstars
going head-to-head.
You've seen him in "Captain America."
"Ant-Man."
And tonight he's fighting for the LSB belt.
Star of the new holiday comedy,
"the night before,"
Anthony Mackie.
Come on, kid.
His opponent and co-star of "The Night Before."
Star of "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises,"
Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
All right, wow, okay.
Whoo!
So, Joseph, you're actually "Lip Sync" royalty
- because you kind of... - Royalty?
... Kind of... nah, I mean, you set this thing off
with our partner Jimmy Fallon on his show.
It's true, it's true.
And since then, since you set it off,
all the fans have been loving it.
And if I was gonna to come back and do it again
- I had to do it right, you know. - You had to do it right.
- And my man, Anthony. - Yeah, what up?
Try your hand at lip syncing for the first time tonight,
- which is going to be pretty amazing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No karaoke machine at the crib.
This is the first time.
- First time. I do not own a karaoke machine. - Okay.
I own three of them.
So, Joseph, you think tonight is cool?
I'm just happy to be here, you know, during the holidays
'cause, you know, we made a movie about the holidays.
This is all about the holiday spirit.
And, you know, for us,
the holidays are kinda about traditions.
- Absolutely. - You know, we wanted to bring out
holiday tradition tonight.
Yeah, it's a little something that we like to call
Seth on the shelf.
Yo.
Ladies and gentlemen, Seth Rogen.
What up?
What's up, Seth?
I'm not wearing anything underneath this thing.
So, you're gonna be watchin'
over... over the performances tonight,
- judging and... - Yeah, I'm gonna be judging,
letting you know what I think, who's naughty, who's nice.
I will be, um... just generally, uh...
Naked in this little red jumpsuit over here.
Hope you guys dig it.
All right, so...
We actually...
spun a dreidel backstage.
That's for you, Seth.
And Joe won, so he's up first.
Come on over, Joe.
Uh...
So, Joe, what song are you doing first?
So, this is kind of a little known indie number.
You know, it's three great musicians
from the same town in Georgia.
Not a lot of people know about it,
but I really love it.
And I hope you guys like it.
Oh, okay. All right, cool.
Well, with a holiday surprise for us,
here's Joe-siff Gor-den Levitt.

I wanna go to my snowy queen, Chrissy.
- Hi, Joe. - Hey, Chrissy.
Wow, I, uh...
I appreciate anyone that introduces me to new music.
I never heard that song before.
You know, there's Seth on the show
- if you wanna see him. - I know, I can't even see him.
Thank you. Hey, Seth.
Hi, how's it going? Good to see you.
This is just typical "Lip Sync Battle."
Yeah, you know, it's great, yeah.
Welcome to the show.
Yeah, yeah, he was looking.
He had a little yearning in his eyes over...
He took me to the club. Took me to the next level.
That was a lot of thrusting.
- I thought you showed me a side of you... - Yo.
... that I'm happy to see.
And if you're not sweating by the end of it,
- then you're not doing it right, right? - You're damn straight.
All right.
- So... - I mean, that's... that's as serious as anything.
This is serious acting right here.
Yeah.
I rehearse for hours for this.
So, Anthony.
Anthony, talk to me about that performance.
That was... that was...
what I figured Joe would do.
Are you... are you nervous about your...
- Did that make you nervous a little? - I feel pretty good
- about myself. - Ooh.
- Damn.
- Ouch. - Ooh, Seth.
- On Christmas. - And I know Anthony well enough.
I'm not surprised to hear him say that, actually.
So, Seth, you know both guys
- that you know... - Yeah.
- Joe came out swinging. - That was dope.
The view from back here was particularly dope.
I gotta say.
The view from the shelf was on fire.
This jumpsuit is a little bit tighter now.
- That's all I can say. - Oh.
I love it.
Joe, grab some holiday cheer...
- Yes, sir, thank you. - ... Up in the VIP.
So, Anthony, come on over.
You ready to show us what you got?
I think I got a little somethin' for the people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, somethin', somethin'.
- Yeah. What'd you pick? - I'm down.
Um, I think, you know, it's funny,
but for me, this song,
it just quantifies every girl's college experience.
- Oh. Interesting. - Uh-oh.
- And, you know, it's just... - Oh.
... college was a great time for me because of this song.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
Anthony Mackie.

Would that be Mack-me-cum-laude or...
Chrissy like, "um...
- "I don't have to... " - It hit a little too close to home for me,
and I only went to community college.
Yeah.
- Joseph was a little jealous of your thrusting down there... - You like that?
- ... I noticed. - I was just over here
using my imagination.
We had two very different styles
of thrusting, though, which I appreciated.
We had Joe who was a little jackrabbit.
- Yeah, he know. - And then...
... and then we had... - what do you mean "little"?
- What do you... what do you mean "little"? - What? What?
- Some of us like that. - The jackrabbit?
I like it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like
the jackrabbit versus the go-for-broke stroke, right?
- Yeah. That's gonna be off... - Get under...
- you know what I mean, like... - Yes.
You know what I mean? It's very true.
Anthony, are you a big Katy Perry fan?
I have to say,
you know, everybody have their list.
Katy Perry...
If she ever, like, wanna come to the hood...
Oh.
Anthony Mackie, you are not in the hood.
I ain't gonna send her a car.
No Uber for you, chick. I'm picking you up.
Seth, do you like Katy Perry?
I do.
So, yeah, what do you think of Katy Perry, Seth?
I love Katy Perry.
I don't know where it goes from here
is all I can say.
That was... I think he got
that little chunk of the stage pregnant
if I'm not mistaken.
No, that was... that was
a sexually-charged performance.
Yeah, that was...
My instinct was to throw dollar bills on him.
I don't know what that says.
But that was my instinct.
- Anthony, join your co-star in the VIP, please. - Oh, my bad,
- I'm still thinking about Katy Perry, my bad. - Nah, you good, you good.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Round one is over, but when we come back,
round two of A-Mack versus JGL is on.
Who will make out with
the "Lip Sync Battle" belt under their tree?

I am in the Christmas spirit.
I'm always in the Christmas spirit.
That's what I'm known for.
Yeah, when most people describe me, it's "Christmas-y."
- Great. You have little footies. - Perfect.
- Awesome. - So, I don't wear my shoes in there?
No, unless you want to.
- No, I don't want to. - I mean, they're padded on there,
but and then, you have a little hat
- and it's adjustable, so... - Great.
So, basically, you just get to hang out on set
in pajamas all day.
- It's like you're the luckiest guy... - Who can argue with that?

Clear the steadicam aisle, please.
Joe is quite the performer.
Yeah, he puts a lot of effort into whatever he does.
He goes big or goes home.
- So, let's just do it a few more times. - Absolutely.
- Yeah. - Mackie on the other hand,
is Papa Doc from the hit film, "8 Mile."
Right? That's what you do, homie, right there.
You gotta breathe. You won't be able to breathe.
Is this...
I believe he was in a rap group as a child.
Yeah, he's Hawkman.
Or whatever, Falcon, whatever he is.
I just saw "Ant-Man." It was great.
That scene was awesome.
Yeah, that scene was really good.
We just touched hands. It's okay, though.

Right now, our battlers are teaming up together.
They're taking it back to 1987.
A long time ago.
With a song that really hits home for me,
since it's about where I grew up.
It really is.
Paying homage to the kings from Queens
with a holiday classic,
here's Joe Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie
and Seth Rogen, doing something
you're absolutely going to love.

Get the fans in the holiday spirit.
Tell 'em... tell 'em what the holidays mean to you?
Yo, holidays to me,
just means friends, family, fun,
and doing things for others other than yourself.
You know, for me, I remember...
You know, I remember the first time
y'all came by my grandmother's house,
picked me up and rode me around
and we used to be ridin' around.
- Remember when we talked about... - Yup.
- Yo, one day we'll have a ninth album. - You remember that?
You remember that?
We was going to Flushing Meadow Park.
- You had a red Audi. - Yeah, I had a red Audi.
Hey, yo, that's crazy.
So, you know I love you guys.
You know, I went on tour with them all around the world.
They took me all over the world,

Seth, what was it like?
This is your first time spittin' bars on stage here.
Run DMC on the stage with you.
What was it like up here spittin' bars?
I was... I was pretending to spit bars,
first and foremost.
- What? - It was dope.
They're (Bleep) here, I can't believe it.
It's crazy.
Oh, yeah.
I've loved this song ever since I saw "Die Hard."
- Yo, that's so real. - Yeah, no, it's true.
I said that was...
- The little dude was in the limousine. - Yeah, Argyle pulls up
in the limo, and he's blasting "Christmas in Hollis."
And I was like, this movie is (Bleep) dope.
And did you have fun?
Did you have fun? Y'all had fun?
No question. I'm wearing a (Bleep) Adidas tracksuit
and a gold chain rapping with Run DMC.
Yo, that's crazy.
So, Joe, the dance move. Tell me about the... you know.
That I learned at my friend's bar mitzvah,
- like, 20 years ago, I think. - That was nice.
So, I gotta talk to Chrissy, though.
- Chrissy, Chrissy, for a second... - What just happened?
- ... I love that rim, that hat. - Thank you.
- I thought you'd like it. - That hat is crazy.
I picked it just for you.
Oh, yes.
What did you think of that song?
What did you think of the performance?
Every time I think
I can't be surprised here, you guys come out
and surprise me every single time.
Did you guys know that was going to happen?
- No. - That is amazing.
Thank you guys so much. My mind is blown.

Season's greetings "Lip Sync Battle" style, baby.
Tonight's filled with bright stars,
Joe Gordon-Levitt, Anthony Mackie,
and our favorite Seth on a shelf, Seth Rogen.
Whether outside is frightful,
but the battle is so delightful.
Joe and Anthony are about to bring you two performances
you don't want to miss.
Let's see how Anthony got prepared
for his final title shot.
_
Charm, rhythm, pizzazz.
Chocolate-chino, all the highlights
that make a live performance good, right?
That felt good. Thank you, guys.
Hey, guys, I'm totally cold. I didn't stretch at all.
So, let's do it.
- There you go. - Sorry, sorry.
Trying to live out my 20's, homie.
Trying to live out my 20's.

I don't know what you're doing,
but I'm excited to see it.
I don't know what Mackie's doing,
but I'm excited to see it.
Oh, wait, I'm in this.
I'm in that.
Now, I'm...
Heck, yeah.
All right, everybody take five.
This is impossibly hard.
- How are you? - Good. How are you doing?
- Good. - Oh, no.
There's cameras all up there.
If you wanna go play something at Joe,
- you can play it this way. - Oh, I'm saving that.
I'm saving that.
Hey!
It is impossible to remember these words
so quickly while doing these moves.
_
Joe. I want Joe to win.
I think Seth is pretty neutral.
I want Mackie to lose and Joe to win.
I don't... I don't think there's any way Joe can beat me.
I'm in my box. I'm in my box.
I'm in my box.
So, Seth on a shelf, you actually moved.
- Shelves... you've switched shelves. - That's what we do.
We switch shelves.
That's what... that's what Seth on a shelf does.
- Yeah, he switches it up. - Yeah.
So, trying to switch up
and hammer his competition,

That was dope. Your...
Your groin looks incredible.
- I just should start by saying. - Thank you.
Yo.
- That's like, two solid handfuls. - Yo.
- They, uh... - So, that's really good.
They made me put on a dance belt...
- I like that. - ... To pull all my junk together.
Yeah, good, it's packed in there.
- It's... it's... - 'Cause otherwise, it'd be like...
You know what I mean?
The dancers aren't a union,
so it couldn't be like, "too... " oh, (Bleep).
- "Coming to America," Jackie... - Jackie, why you play so much?
Why you play so much?
- Then I got a lawsuit. - Yeah.
And you're wearing like,

My husband did a Hammer song too,

lookin' like a black AC Slater.
It looks sil...
And I killed him for it.
And that was the entrance of "Lip Sync Battle" history.
I mean, we've never had an entrance like that before.
Yeah, you got toasted.

Welcome back to the "Lip Sync Battle" holiday special.
It's a one-of-a-kind night.
We've got the hottest gift of the season,
Joe Gordon-Levitt,
Anthony Mackie, and Seth Rogen.
Let's see how Joe got ready
to deliver a holiday lip sync smackdown, baby.
I did this "Lip Sync Battle" thing once before,
and I figured if I were gonna do it again,
I'd have to top myself.
Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.
- We've made a jacket. - Uh-huh.
I think the more metal, the better.
- Cool. - 'Cause like, seeing the metal
on the jacket is kind of what,
- to me, it says the look, right? - Okay, awesome.
These are the boots that you're going to be...
- Wonderful. Maybe, can I put those on now? - ... Dancing in.
You absolutely, 100% can.
Do you want to rehearse in the hat?
That's a great idea, yeah. Thank you.
Hey, Joseph.
- Hey, what's up? - High-five, man.
High-five.
Take out the dancers.
- Joe. Nice to meet you. - Brandon.
- Go. Go, go, go. - Yes.
You're having fun, when you break out,
- you light up... - Yeah.
And it's... it's just... it's awesome.
Thank you, thank you.
I'm of course, just thinking about
the little parts I didn't get right, but.
So, Dmitri to really quickly to Mary.
- Is this about make-up? - It's just so you can say hi to make-up.
- Hello, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- This is... - Now you know what we go through.
Hey, I used to have a ponytail.
When I was a teenager.
And people used to think I was a girl.
Okay, everybody, first positions, please.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Yes, good to see you.
Wow, beautiful-looking stage.
- Isn't it gorgeous? - Wow, gorgeous. Yeah.
- Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. - Exactly.
- There you go. - What's up, my man?
Hey. Good to see you, dude.
This is fun. I'm glad you're here.
- This is like, bigger than any set we had in the movie. - I know, you're right.
It's totally right.
You guys are all so nice. Thanks for making noise.
- That helped, thank you. - Whoo.
Thank you. So much fun.
I've been all sweaty.
No, it was good, man.
It's really, really fun.
Okay, let's clear the stage.
Go to camera three. Wait for the intro.
Oh, he practiced a lot.
How do you know?
- I heard. - Oh, you heard?
You've been doing some research?
Hoping to beat his co-star to the belt,
here's Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Chrissy. - Oh, my gosh.
I wanna go to my secret Santa, Chrissy.
You went full Janet.
That was head-to-toe.
Dance moves, everything.
- That was Janet. - That was epic, right?
That was... you look so pretty, too.
Oh, thank you.
He smacked...
- You don't smack Joseph Jackson on the ass. - Oh!
Oh.
Yo, I've always wanted to slap Janet's ass.
- Joseph. Mr. Levitt, if you're nasty. - Oh, my God,
- I feel like... - Um...
We did not see that coming. Why Miss Jackson?
I mean...
You know, this is just the Nation,
is what it is.
This is...
This is the Nation.
Picked from a tree and sliced with a knife.
It's...
- I love it. - It's so funny,
everybody sees this outfit as I was walking backstage
and everyone was like, "Oh, that, oh, oh."
It... like, when you have a piece of pop culture
- that really means something to people, like... - Yup.
It really, really does
and this... this song, you know,
it means a lot to me, too
and I don't know, it's just fun to do it, man.
So, and what... what...
What has the experience been like,
- being here? - This is just what I love to do.
I'm so lucky that I get to, like, perform
and this is my job?
Like, I just feel really, really, really,
really, really lucky and everybody here
has been so cool and so warm.
And I love that's it's not about, like,
"We're going to judge you
and maybe you'll be the next Idol
or maybe you won't."
It's none of that, it's just, like,
"let's have fun because this stuff is supposed to be fun."
- Absolutely. - No judgments.
Yo.
Seth, what are you thinking right now?
Like, Joseph Gordon-Levitt-Jackson.
I'm having
some conflicting feelings, honestly.
I thought you killed it, man.
That was unbelievable.
- Thank you. - The synchronicity of it all.
- Your dick doesn't look as good as Mackie's did. - I know, it never will.
It never will.
If I was judging this
on... on dick and balls alone,
Mackie would have it.
- Don't worry, we're not. - I understand.
- He would take that. I'll take that. - In the sack.
Yes, the package would've been delivered
and he would... he would have it,
but unfortunately, that's not what
- this contest is based on. - I wore these baggy pants
- on purpose. - This is "Lip Sync Battle,"
- Yes, exactly. - Not...
Not Dick Sync Battle.
But, um...
Right.
Anthony, Anthony, I can't even...
I can't even imagine...
I can't even imagine
what's going through your mind right now.
Yo, I just saw Janet in New Orleans, kid.
- Literally. - Same.
- Like a few weeks ago. - Was Joe better?
And I was very, very impressed.
- I didn't know which one was Joe. - Thank you.
I was waiting for Joe to come out
through here.
And I was like, "oh, I wish Joe had a sister."
That was...
Yeah, yeah, Joe's lookin' pretty hot.
- Joe, you take a seat in the VIP. - Thank you.
Listen to me.
Joe Gordon-Jackson is leading the Lip Sync Nation just now.
The songs of the night before are bringing
dangerous amounts of merriment tonight.
When we come back,
an LSB holiday champion is born.
