Jamie Foxx Spoofs John Legend

Jamie Foxx and Jimmy Fallon are funny enough to get away with mocking anyone.

The pair teed up music icons like Mick Jagger, John Legend and Bruce Springsteen in the latest installment of Fallon’s “Wheel of Musical Impressions” segment on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday night.

The skit challenged Fallon, 40, and Foxx, 47, to belt out familiar songs in the voices of other famous performers with in-house band The Roots playing in accompaniment.

Foxx sashayed all over the stage as the Rolling Stones frontman crooning “Hakuna Matata,” poked fun at Legend’s seriousness in a rendition of the Toys”R”Us jingle and mimicked Jennifer Hudson’s vocal range while singing “On Top of Spaghetti.”

The ham, who first made his name on “The Jamie Foxx Show” before transitioning to pop music and the silver screen, also threw in an impression of Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers placing collective blame on his team for their recent loss to the Houston Rockets in the NBA playoffs.

For his part, Fallon wowed the heavily sea servicemember Fleet Week crowd with his version of “I Love You, You Love Me” from "Barney & Friends," as sung by Bee Gees co-founder Barry Gibb, and the “America’s Funniest Home Videos” theme, by Springsteen.

“The show is off the rails tonight, man, I love it.” Fallon said at one point, convulsing in laughter at Foxx’s John Legend routine.

The Oscar winner closed out the show with a song off his own new album “Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses.”

Foxx didn’t appear fazed at all weeks after viewers of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao boxing match criticized his performance of the National Anthem prior to the fight. The star later told Ellen Degeneres that in-person attendees of the bout seemed to enjoy it and his earpieces had fallen out just before he began to sing.
