Peacock Everyone hosting 2024 Paris Olympics coverage this summer: Kelly Clarkson, Jimmy Fallon, Snoop Dogg, more Thompson and Hart are immediately on board. “Oh my God. Please sing to us, Jack Black,” Thompson beseeches. “Sing!” And the Grammy-winning Tenacious D frontman does just that. "Kenan Thompson and Kevin Hart / Talkin' s--- and talkin' smart! / Crackin' wise and lightin' farts," Black sings. "Kevin and Kenan are lightin’ it up! They’re setting’ the Olympics on fiyah!” Hart initially appears charmed by Black's song, only to become visibly confused upon hearing him and Thompson casually described as fart lighters. Thompson, on the other hand, simply shakes his head from side to side and tries to contain his laughter throughout Black's performance. Flashing the devil horns at the end, Thompson cheers, “Yeah! That’s a start. That’s a start to a song. I love that.” Black laughs as he explains that he wrote the tune because "I felt like you guys needed a song." To which Hart replies, "I don't know if we needed the fart, right?" Fortunately, Black's down to collaborate on the track: "It's a work in progress." Thompson and Hart have been hosting their Olympics highlight series since the Games began in July, with new episodes airing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on Peacock.
