Jamie Foxx Goes Off Script As 2018 BET Awards Host [VIDEO]

Jamie Foxx kept things interesting last night as the 2018 BET Awards show host. The actor, singer and producer continually surprised the live audience and viewers at home with his unscripted moments. Blame it on the “a a a a a alcohol?”

Foxx opened the show with a five-minute tribute to the Black Panther movie and cast. Watch the monologue below, in which he addresses “the panther in the room.”

At the end of his speech, he invited Michael B. Jordan on stage to recite the last line from the blockbuster: “Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.”

Later, the host brought rapper and actor Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) on the stage, getting the crowd to sing Glover’s song “This is America.” Watch below:

Foxx later took the stage in a robe and briefs to mock Glover’s pajama-like outfit.

“This is how I sleep, bro!” he joked. The host also delved into celebrity beef between Oprah Winfrey and Mo’Nique after the success of the movie Precious (2009).
