Jordan Peele Recreates The Infamous 1987 Drunk James Brown Interview

Drunk-James-Brown---ft.-Jordan-Peele

In 1987 just after being released on bail for charges of assaulting his wife with a lead pipe and firing a gun at a car she was in, James Brown did a bizarre interview on CNN. He seemed to be drunk or high or completely out of his mind on something, singing, interrupting questions, making lewd comments and generally acting very erratic.

In an equally strange exercise Jordan Peele recreates the entire thing, word for word, movement for movement, in this pitch-perfect remake.
