Actor Jabari Banks has pipes! The Bel-Air star showed off his musical talents in a teaser for Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Fallon’s game show That’s My Jam, during which he performed Usher’s 2004 hit “Yeah” to the tune of Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry.”
In the clip, host Fallon tells Banks it’s his turn to take his mic and spin the wheel. Banks saunters toward the level in an effortless cool fit of tinted sunglasses, a white bomber jacket and distressed jeans. Pulling it, he gets “Opposites Attracts,” a challenge that Fallon explains gives stars two songs with opposite words in their titles. Then, they must sing one of the song’s lyrics in the melody of the other.
Fallon spins the lever for Banks, locking in his two songs: “Yeah” and “No Tears Left to Cry.”
Banks seems a little unsure after Fallon asks if he knows all the words to the Usher banger, but he has no reason to be. The minute the melody to the Grande hit began, Banks understood the assignment. While he’s rocking the crowd, who’s loving the performance, the camera quickly pans to fellow game participant Chance the Rapper, who also appears to be impressed by the 24-year-old’s talent.
“He’s sangin’ it,” he tells Fallon.
“It’s like he’s done this before,” Fallon comments later.
Both The Tonight Show and Banks shared the clip on Instagram.
