The always entertaining host for the evening, Paul Rudd, reflected during his opening monologue about his past two stints on the sketch comedy program. Specifically, the musical guests, Beyoncé and Paul McCartney, overshadowing him.
Enter Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. And a thunderous applause that stole the attention away from the funnyman.
But Rudd came prepared.
"You've got your boy band, well I've brought my man band," Rudd said as his Anchorman 2 costars Will Ferrell, Steve Carell and David Koechner walked on stage.
Funny exchanges ensued, including Ferrell quipping "why don't you beat it Menudo."
Even though Ferrell declared he was there to fight, the rivalry didn't last for long and the whole gang sang a wonderful version of "Afternoon Delight.
"
"We are Nine Direction," Rudd proudly announced after the song.
