On the main stage at Universal Studios, a performer brings Melissa McCarthy’s signature comedic energy to life with animated dance moves, delighting an enthusiastic audience, while a sharply dressed host and a live band look on from the side in amusement, creating the feel of an unforgettable entertainment showcase.

Melissa McCarthy is insane and I love her. I just adore this woman.

On last night’s Tonight Show, the actress took on Jimmy Fallon in an all-out lip-sync battle. For her second number, McCarthy chose the classic Disney tune “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas. Yeah…just let that sink in for a second. The amazing thing is, she took everything ferociously literally.

Check it out, in all its glory:

Obviously, the audience was floored and gave her a standing ovation. Heck, I just did the same thing from my computer desk!
