Kumail Nanjiani and Idina Menzel were both guests on The Late Late Show yesterday and James Corden asked the Wicked singer, “Did you have a good night?” She asked him the same question and he told her that, “I’ve had the time of my life.” Then two of them broke out into the song from Dirty Dancing. Which was extremely odd, not only because his voice got extremely deep, but because it was just weird. I wasn’t the only one who thought so, Nanjiani’s face towards the end of the song proves he feels the same way. He’s like WTF did I sign up for and WTH did my publicist get me in to? Kumail, I am not quite sure.
Seriously, if it wasn’t for his expression, I would not have posted it. When I saw his face, I broke out in to uncontrollable laughter. Didn’t it make you laugh hysterically too because it is so unexpected? I know he is a comedian, but I think he meant to make that face.
Ben E King passed away yesterday at the of 76 years old according to The Telegraph. He started his career out as the lead singer of The Drifters before going out on his own. When he went solo, he released a song that we know every word to and that tune is Stand By Me. Other songs we know him for are Spanish Harlem, There’s Goes My Baby, This Magic Moment and Save the Last Dance for Me.
He was still performing live up until last year, and sounding as good as he did when he started out on the road.
So today save a last dance for someone you love to remember Ben E King and keep his beautiful music alive. Stand by him for one last time.
