Last night, John Legend played Jesus Christ in a live version of Jesus Christ Superstar on NBC, and Late Night with Seth Meyers did their own take on the musical. One unlike any you have seen before. That is because instead of using actors, they used Popsicle sticks for the shtick. Oddly enough, it worked.
Meyers described it as “a huge waste of money.” Which it was, but it was also amazingly fun to watch. Plus, no matter how much it cost, it still cost less than the version that aired yesterday. Not much less, but still less.
