They each have songs they must lip sync better than the other, but the catch is that they don’t know which songs their opponent will be singing. This hilarious battle is one of many that is sure to be apart of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The two [duke it out on stage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretzel-crust-island) lip syncing two songs each. Paul Rudd starts it off by choosing a [Grammy award winning song](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boy-band-bakeoff) by legend Tina Turner called ‘Better Be Good To Me.’ Jimmy challenges his diva demanding stage presence with a lip syncing rendition of Foreigners ‘Jukebox Hero.’ Each take the stage with presence, power and above all a great attitude. The clip is packed with plenty of laughs and charisma. It makes me want to try my own lip sync challenge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lip Sync Battle Craze:** Opportunity for entertainment companies to develop new TV shows and online content featuring lip sync battles between celebrities and regular people. - **User-generated Lip Sync Challenges:** Opportunity for social media platforms to create user-generated lip sync challenges similar to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. - **Live Event Lip Sync Battles:** Opportunity for event planning companies to organize live lip sync battle events for corporate parties, weddings, and other special occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on the Lip Sync Battle trend by developing new shows and content around it. - **Social Media Industry:** Social Media platforms can get involved in the Lip Sync Battle trend by creating user-generated content for the trend. - **Event Planning Industry:** The event planning industry can get involved in the Lip Sync Battle trend by organizing live events around the trend for corporate or personal occasions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Eating Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-ones-episodes.md) - [Humorous Snack Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-salty-club.md) - [Branded Short Talk Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progressives-dr-rick.md) - [Sitcom Game Crossovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-office-2.md) - [Humorous Star-Studded Chip Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches.md) - [Comedic Gameshow Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vibe-is-right.md) - [Co-Branded Saucy Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-shine-lip-balm.md) - [Hilarious Mixed Nuts Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantersallorone-debate.md) - [Uplifting Personal Video Messages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puptalk.md)
