I saw the original 1988 recording on KZread 20 minutes ago and then found this remake and now my stomach is cramping up from laughing so hard. It truly was how he answered her questions with nothing that had anything to do with her question before she was even finished asking the question. I'm gonna try this at the board meeting this Friday.

This is actually some of the most insane acting I've ever seen, it's actually in synch with the original interview.

I know! Even down to the tiniest details of facial expressions like the smirk Sonya does when James cuts her off. The inconsistent volume of their clashing voices as Sonya raises hers to speak through James’ random outbursts of song, it’s all executed wonderfully. I think it deserves an award of some sort for excellence in recreation.

Brilliant recreation!! What makes this so entertaining is how well the actors do their roles and how faithful this is to the actual clip.

I loved the original. This is awesome too. I love Key and Peele.

Great video, this video is not as weird as the actual interview; both actors are brilliant comic actors and can’t escape their perfect comic timing. The actual interview has awkward misfires and blank takes that ultimately make it more surreal. Love it.

it’s rare to find people who can impersonate so accurately and to recreate a whole interview word for word, that’s a true talent right there. Peele probably watched this interview a million times and just laughed his ass off flat, and I feel that’s where the dedication and accuracy comes from. If you genuinely love something you’ll do incredibly well at it, as compared to some comedian just trying to be funny for fucks sake, you can see the difference.

Ive watched the original video like hundreds of times this is on point LMFAO

Hi there. I was the Executive Producer of the Sonya show and in the control room and in her ear during this legendary piece of video which Jordan Peele has masterfully re-created. Please note: this interview was in 1988, not 1987. As far as being drunk..Brown was also arrested for possession of PCP at that time and we actually believe that was what he was on during this interview. Fun Fact: he calls out for Ted Turner because they had a relationship forged when Brown hosted a bizarre dance show on WTBS called Future Shock: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hI6frqlpfaq0Xc4.html

That's was an amazing recreation! wow, cannot believe I haven't seen this yet, thought I'd seen all Jordan & Peele content, not sure how this one snuck by me. That was just James being who he is, answering every question with a song title, high af, and hitting on the interviewer while on TV, and out on bail(or "out on love" as he calls it, lol) for abusing his wife, and yeah I'm pretty sure he was a different person at home. Dude was legend, and from a different time/space than the rest of us. He had an image to uphold, and nothing was going to stop that.

I just watched that interview for the first time and it led me here. These guys are incredibly good.

Even though this is hilarious, the original is even funnier 😂😂😂
