Ever the generous late-night host, Jimmy Fallon usually lets his celebrity guests win the silly games he plays with them on a nightly basis. But he takes the all-too-rare lip sync battle very seriously.

On Friday night, following the Olympic opening ceremony from Rio, the Tonight Show host met an unexpectedly fierce competitor in Seth Rogen. The actor, who was promoting his new animated film Sausage Party, came to play, using The Roots as his live playback machine for a throwback “Mellow My Man.” But he really secured his victory when he took off his jacket and slipped on a baggy gray turtleneck sweater.

In honor of his “beloved home country of Canada” on the night the 2016 Summer Olympics officially began, Rogen performed a “legendary” track by one of his countrymen, Drake. What followed was the best “Hotline Bling” dance since Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live.
