Scarlett Johansson was a Christmas caroler as part of a very star-studded skit that also featured Reese Witherspoon for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Reese, 40, Scarlett, 32, along with their Sing co-stars Matthew McConaughey, Seth MacFarlane, and Tori Kelly, sang Wonderful Christmastime in A Cappella beside Jimmy and the band The Roots.
The Roots, which included members Questlove and Mark Kelley, helped kick off the skit before they were eventually joined by a music legend Paul McCartney.

The stars of Sing have been busy promoting their new film lately.
Sing! stars Matthew as Buster Moon, a koala who cobbles together a singing contest in order to prevent his flagging theatre from shuttering for good.

Matthew confided during a recent interview on Today that he’d been selected to make his character ‘optimistic but not annoying, so if I fell in the middle there, that’s good.’
Reese portrays Rosita, a pig with 25 children who’d shelved her singing ambition to focus on motherhood until the contest came along.
This new task ‘gets her out of the house and getting her remembering that she had a life beyond having kids,’ said the actress, ‘and I think it’s a really touching story.’

She noted that ‘I think a lot of moms will relate to it, and I think a lot of kids will appreciate their mom more after seeing it.’
Inasmuch as the film is, indeed, child-friendly, and she and Matthew are both parents, ‘I think, between the two of us, our kids have seen it, like, 16 times.’
Sing! will open in American cinemas next Wednesday, but won’t be arriving in Britain until the 27th of January.
