The clip began as he was ushered into the building and given his pass saying, “I came into the office today and I was taken to the fashion closet.”
Picking up a classy pink dress, he pointed to a cut-out section and remarked, “Is this the front or the back?!” before the stylist was told it was in fact the back.
He then joked, “Oh yeah I get it because if it was the front your firecrackers would come right out!”
