Here we go folks, we're going to talk about Seth Rogen in The Lion King. These are words my 2009 self thought I would never say, but 10 years ago sure is a long time, isn't it?

That was the opening to The Lion King. I figured it would fit pretty well in my opening of an article about The Lion King. Then again, this is the remake, so maybe I should've written it in 4K HD extra polished animation font. Nah, I couldn't afford it.
And we couldn't be more excited for this live-action version of the iconic animated picture that came out eons ago. Back when times were simpler, back before the internet was invented.
Wow! I was merely a glint in my father's eye, Jurassic Park was the highest grossing movie of all time and no one had even heard of an Iron Man movie. Yes, truly a simpler time.
It's live action... ish, and it's by the same guy who did the original Iron Man, because apparently Jon Favreau is trusted by Disney to make all their franchises successful.
People can't wait for this new movie to come out. I mean, they're practically off the walls to see this awesome star-studded cast which, mark my words, is studded with stars.
Donald Glover as Simba, Queen B Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Jon Oliver as Zazu, Eric Andre as Azizi, James Earl Jones returning as Mufasa and many, many more.
Who play the now iconic duo of Timon and Pumbaa. They sing that one song... you know, the one about no worries for the rest of your days? That's right, of course, it's "Hakuna Matata".
Specifically, The Late Late Show with James Corden. He's on there with Charlize Theron to promote his new romantic comedy The Long Shot. Which I can only assume is a sequel to The Longest Yard.
This leads James to ask Seth Rogen about his own singing, considering he's going to be singing at least one song in this new adaptation. Notice how I said at least, because I don't know if they're adding new ones or anything.
And Seth replies that he did it already and that yes, he was in fact horrible. Well, it turned out well, but for him personally, apparently it was a nightmare.
The whole cast apparently had to sing in the same room together, which means he was supposed to sing in the same room as professional singers. Which ones, you ask?
Also known as Childish Gambino, who is, oh, I dunno, one of the greatest performers of our generation. I mean, have you heard Redbone? I'm going to link it in this segment just in case you haven't.
Beyonce. Queen B. One of the greatest voices of our generation. The most powerful woman in all of show business. The woman who run the world. She's also part of the Illuminati. I could go on.
He thought he would at least be funnier than her, but then he remembered Austin Powers: Goldmember and realized that even that might not be true!
Don't worry Seth, we all feel lesser than Beyoncé.
