“I’m not going out there,” Black told the host. “Everybody said we’re going to get dressed in costumes, and I’m the only stupid guy that got dressed in a costume and I’m not going out there now.”
Using her hosting skills, the singer managed to coax the actor out by calling the others “stupid — you look awesome”.
After showing off some impressive high kicks, the Tenacious D singer showed there was no bad blood between him and the cast, despite his inability to change his outfit.
“I think it was like a really funny trick they played on me, like we’re all gonna get dressed in character and then they didn’t, and I can’t get it off now ’cause like someone put super glue in there,” he said.
Still, he cheekily turned to Keegan-Michael Key and told him, “I am so mad at you!”
