The way he said "that is correct" at the end with such defeat 😂😂

[betty]

Congratulations, you played yourself.

[A-Oh-Trey]

I'm just glad to finally know the full lyrics to the Key & Peele theme. Something the man who created it apparentally didn't even know.

[jordanrobinson]

He makes up the vast majority of his songs on the spot. His improvisational and layering techniques coupled with a badass delivery are all aspects of his musical genius. He doesn't remember it the same way Parker or Armstrong wouldn't remember a solo that was improvisational.

Reggie got embarrassed! Ha! James and Matt's faces are priceless! Keegan felt hurt that Reggie forgot he written it!

[Coltranized]

"Well, uh, that, that is correct." -Reggie Watts.


PWNED

[douglaslin]

I have to admit, he is really cracking this talk show thing in the US. hats off.

[ther]

i feel like it was scripted, but then again.. its reggie watts

[KevGonzales]

So Reggie's the one beatboxing on the Key & Peele's intros?

[Swameh]

Buuuurn loved his face, damn Reggie :')

[akulahirpada]

I know this is a joke and all but Reggie is an improv musician so it's not a surprise that he doesn't remember it.

[alexjay]

Reggie Watts knew who wrote those lyrics. He said "no" because saying "yes I wrote those" isn't a joke.

[Kingz]

The chemistry between these two though! 😂

[justinrodriguez]

1:13 i wish I could summon the forced laugh of james Corden at will to interrupt people

[douglaslopesribeiro]

The bassist can't help it but laughing at her boss 1:16

[MarkArandjus]

Reggie is a trans-dimensional being, he's from a parallel universe where he didn't write the song.

[heatherjnel]

The show is smart to let Reggie have a bigger part in the show. James doesn't have that ego....and enjoys others gifts. Good work.

[JasonB]

That moment when you get burned and didn't see it coming for shit.

[molesticles]

I wanted him to play it. Sooo badly did I want it.

The lady with the guitar looks like Ygritte
