VIDEO: Joseph Gordon-Levitt lip syncing Elton John makes everything better

Say what you will about Jimmy Fallon's late night hosting pedigree, but it's difficult to argue against the notion that he's the most musically inclined host to grace our living rooms after dark. Whether it's musical skits with Justin Timberlake or slow jamming the news, or covering "Call Me Maybe" with The Roots and classroom instruments, the man has rhythm.

Say what you will about Jimmy Fallon's late night hosting pedigree, but it's difficult to argue against the notion that he's the most musically inclined host to grace our living rooms after dark. Whether it's musical skits with Justin Timberlake or slow jamming the news, or covering "Call Me Maybe" with The Roots and classroom instruments, the man has rhythm.

One example of his musical prowess came in a recent segment with John Krasinski of The Office fame. Fallon and Jim had a lip-sync contest that was more than a little bit entertaining. Especially considering that the guys took on Boyz II Men.

Last night on Late Night, Fallon revived the segment with the help of Stephen Merchant (who came up with the game in the first place), and the always impressive star of Don Jon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The entire segment is worth watching, but if you haven't seen Joseph Gordon-Levitt lip sync "Tiny Dancer", then you haven't seen Shakespeare the way it was meant to be done.
