In a recent episode of the popular talk show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, host Jimmy Fallon challenged special guests Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernandez to a rap contest, all thanks to a partnership with T-Mobile. The segment began with Jimmy and guests discussing the hilarious T-Mobile commercial that Marcello and Kenan had recently starred in. Turns out, SNL funnyman Colin Jost had a hand in writing the rap-song bit for the commercial. With conversations about moms, famous lines from the commercial, and T-Mobile shout-outs, the atmosphere was lively and entertaining. Jimmy wasted no time and decided to show the audience the commercial that had everyone talking.
But the fun didn’t stop there. Once the commercial ended, Jimmy amazed audience members by proposing a freestyle rap contest between Kenan and Marcello. The rules were simple: a random word generated by a special button had to be incorporated into their raps. After Kenan’s turn, where he sporadically mentioned the color magenta, it became evident that he might need a bit more practice in the freestyle department. Marcello took his turn next, using the word “phone” in a catchy rap about everyday phone usage. Although he repeated the phrase “I’m on my phone” multiple times, Marcello’s enthusiasm won the crowd over.
But it was when Jimmy suggested they team up for a rap that the real magic happened. The word “voice” became their inspiration, and together they delivered an incredible rap about their surroundings in the show’s studio. The audience couldn’t help but cheer and applaud, impressed by their off-the-cuff creativity.
It was truly a memorable moment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as Kenan and Marcello showcased their rap skills and entertained the entire audience. The T-Mobile partnership added an extra layer of fun, making it a segment worth watching. With their unique styles and comedic charm, Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernandez proved once again why they are TV favorites.
