Oddly enough, Usher pulled a “Beyonce’ last night and literally short-circuited the entire stage!

?This is very interesting,? Fallon said, as the lights went pitch black just as he was introducing Usher.

?No, this is good, you guys. This is the way he wants it to be lit.?

Before he finished that sentence the lights came back on.

Usher’s subsequently took his chair for the interview and admitted that people don’t always get his sense of humor, calling himself the ?black Larry David? *crickets*
