It seems like every “Lip Sync Battle” keeps topping itself. After The Rock killed it with “Shake It Off” in the premiere and Anne Hathaway came in like a “Wrecking Ball” with a super-method performance, it”s hard to imagine anything being better.

I”m here to tell you that Anna Kendrick and John Krasinski”s battle is the best of the best, and it”s one for the record books.
I was on set when Kendrick and Krasinski — say that five times fast — taped in NYC, and both performers really brought their A-game. Even though no one had as big of a prop as Hathaway, they used backup dancers, shimmery dresses, and surprise guests that will blow you away. The biggest one of all was already revealed in the star-studded promo for the season — Jennifer Lopez during Kendrick”s performance of “Booty” — but there are still some behind-the-scenes secrets that you may not see on Thursday”s episode.
To prepare you for the epic lip-sync-off, check out nine insider moments that happened during the Krasinski vs. Kendrick battle.

See these smiles? All fake. No, just kidding, but they one-upped each other with trash talk, especially during commercial breaks. Many times, Krasinski fake-threatened to fire her since they just worked on a movie together that he directed and stars in with Kendrick.

See the bar behind them? It was empty, and Krasinski tried to make a drink in a red solo cup. Chrissy Teigen, who has a real bar sidestage, saved the day and got them drinks.

There isn”t a photo of his first performance yet, but he got so caught up in the moment that he tripped on his mic cord and had to start over. There is also a headset mic involved, FYI.

When Kendrick was taking a long time to get ready, host LL Cool J and Krasinski joked that she was back there baking brownies. Special brownies, as they suggested. That was not the case, and they were both floored when she did emerge for “Booty.”

During the long break while everyone waited for Kendrick to come out for her second performance, the warm-up comedian asked people in the audience to sing. One young woman belted out “Listen” from “Dreamgirls” and wowed Krasinski so much that he got her email to contact her after the show. Get it, girl.
