David Schwimmer destroys James Corden in ‘drop the mic’ rap battle

Ross Geller got bars

The Late Late Show with James Corden really knows how to make a viral segment.

First it came up with the immensely popular Carpool Karaoke, and now it’s getting its celebrity guests to take part in a rap battle - Corden’s equivalent of Jimmy Fallon’s lip-sync battle.

David Schwimmer proved a particular popular entrant this week, laying into the host, whose sitcom history is obviously not quite so award-decorated as the Friends cast member’s.

“A Brit in America’s your one claim to fame / We all know as an actor your roles were all the same,” he opened with. “The heavy best friend, the humorous sidekick / With a belly so big you can’t find your own… Dickens, the author we all read as kids / He’s British like you, but people know who he is.”

He then got a double-length verse to finish, before flipping Corden off.

“I’m tall and lean, you’re short and stout. They know me in Japan, they know you at In-N-Out. You embarrassed your country, this was easy for me. Bitch, lay down the mic and go make me some tea.”

Yes, it was rehearsed, yes, you could see Schwimmer reading the bars off the autocue, but it was still a lot of fun.
