Lizzo recreates Anchorman’s infamous flute scene with Este Haim: Watch
Last fall, Lizzo issued the #FluteAndShoot challenge on social media, which Will Ferrell (taking on the role of Ron Burgundy) promptly accepted. Now, the singer and accomplished flautist has clapped back at the actor and comedian by recreating the famed jazz flute scene from Anchorman.
The singer first announced her #FluteAndShoot challenge back in the fall, when she posted a live video of her ripping a flute solo, then doing BlocBoy JB’s “Shoot” dance. After the clip went viral, Rob Burgundy responded in kind with his own woodwind performance, which Lizzo posted to Instagram.

In a new addition to the saga, the “Good as Hell” singer has posted a clip titled, “The Legend of LIZZO”, which finds the flautist performing alongside bassist Este Haim and actor Rightor Doyle. In the video, Lizzo offers a shot-by-shot remake of the famed Anchorman scene, complete in all its table-walking, bathroom-invading, flame-throwing glory. However, in the rapper’s version, she solos over “Juice”, her first single off her forthcoming album, Cuz I Love You.
Check it out below.
For reference, here’s the original Anchorman scene:
Lizzo is set to drop her latest record on April 19th via Atlantic Records, marking her third full-length release. To support Cuz I Love You, the performer will embark on a North American tour that spans April through June. Check out her itinerary below, and get tickets here.
