Jamie Foxx stopped by the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fascist Thursday night, graciously making the show far more watchable than usual. In addition to the traditional couch chat, Foxx also faced off against the notorious hair tousler for the inaugural edition of the Musical Genre Challenge.
Foxx was challenged to a Broadway musical version of Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and an opera version of Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money." Foxx even swooped in with the assist during the host's 1960s rock version of Migos' "Bad and Boujee."
During the couch portions of his Tonight Show appearance, Foxx discussed that time he apparently roasted Mike Tyson to his face and the excitement he feels about his new Fox series Beat Shazam:
"This is crazy, man," Foxx told Fallon of Beat Shazam, in which the most music-knowledgeable contestants are challenged to beat Shazam. "We've been trying to get this on for like two and a half, three years."
In a statement announcing the series back in January, executive producer Mark Burnett (The Voice, Survivor) touted Foxx's natural talent for such a show. "Jamie is a quadruple-threat and creative genius," Burnett said. "He is an incredible actor, comedian, singer, and dancer. Also, his musical knowledge is so great that he could probably… BEAT SHAZAM."
