[ MUSIC ] Will Ferrell absolutely killed it in one of Jimmy Fallon's famous lip sync battles Sunday night. It was a special Post Super Bowl episode of The Tonight Show. Farrell and Kevin Hart, costars in the movie Get Hard, had been at the game and then got competitive on their own in the battle. Farrell also sang Let It Go, Hart did John Legend and Katy Perry. And Jimmy called up the reserves, he brought up pal Drew Barrymore to recreate Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing with him. She even wore pink. And they even did that famous lift at the end. Well, sort of. But it was Ferrell's name that was trending on Twitter well after the show, with viewers saying they were in love with his drunk in love. We're hoping Queen B gives a shout out to the comedian for his performance, though her shout outs are pretty selective. Oprah got a happy birthday a few days ago. Hm. You can dream Will, along with us. Get Hard hits theaters March 27th and The Tonight is on the road this week, filming in Los Angeles instead of New York. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3691946/will-ferrell-jimmy-fallon-kevin-hart-super-bowl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3691946/will-ferrell-jimmy-fallon-kevin-hart-super-bowl/"},"headline":"Watch Will Ferrell Lip Synch Beyoncé for an Inspired Drunk in Love","datePublished":"2015-02-02T13:27:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:03:22.442Z","description":"Beyoncé would be proud","url":"https://time.com/3691946/will-ferrell-jimmy-fallon-kevin-hart-super-bowl/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","viral","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","Will Ferrell"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4be2589c3c2f3c8c/69877d2155a85977c8a85953/screen-shot-2015-02-02-at-8-14-13-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4be2589c3c2f3c8c/69877d2155a85977c8a85953/screen-shot-2015-02-02-at-8-14-13-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2015-02-02 at 8.14.13 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3691946/will-ferrell-jimmy-fallon-kevin-hart-super-bowl/","name":"Watch Will Ferrell Lip Synch Beyoncé for an Inspired Drunk in Love"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"We Can’t Stop Watching Will Ferrell’s ‘Drunk In Love’ Lip Sync","description":"On a special, Sunday-night episode of “The Tonight Show,” the comedian killed in a lip-sync battle.
