Video: Watch Paul Rudd kick Jimmy Fallon’s arse in the latest late-night lip sync battle

They look like they're having the mime of their lives...

They look like they’re having the mime of their lives…

Following the success of Jimmy Fallon’s fantastic first lip sync battle – a titanic threeway tussle between himself, Stephen Merchant and Joseph Gordon-Levitt – the new host of The Tonight Show invited the lovable Paul Rudd to step up and thrown down.

Purely in a miming sense of course…

In town to promote the bigger, bolder and Burgundier new cut of Anchorman 2, Rudd kicked proceedings off with an impressive rendition of Tina Turner’s ‘Better Be Good To Me,’ complete with thrusty gestures, wild hand movements and, in a Fallon fight first, the film funnyman even lip syncs Turner talking.

The host does his down-on-his-knees damndest to better Paul’s performance with Foreigner’s ‘Juke Box Hero’ , but it’s safe to say that Anchorman star Brian Fantana’s fantastic moves and portrayal of Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ most certainly help him win out in the end.

Those moves, just look at those moves. These men aren’t lip syncers, they’re storytellers…
