Leave it to Jamie Foxx to take over a New York City happy hour. To celebrate the launch of Grey Goose’s latest campaign, Live Victoriously, the actor and comedian made a surprise appearance at The Time Square EDITION Hotel on Tuesday (April 16).
As attendees were treated to after-work cocktails like “Angel of Music” (Grey Goose vodka, sparkling rosé, and lemon cardamom) and “The Grey Goose Martini” (Grey Goose vodka, dry vermouth, orange bitters with a twist of lemon), Foxx walked behind the bar, took over and mingled with attendees. Bar-goers joined him behind the bar, danced, showcased some dancing and rapping talents on the impromptu “Grey Goose Idol” and jammed out to songs like “Blame It” (feat. T-Pain). Later in the evening, Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa made an appearance, Foxx cracked jokes and announced his upcoming, Kill the Comedian Tour, his first stand-up tour since his last comedy special in 2003.
As Jamie busted throwback moves behind the bar with bar-goers, comedians Aidy Bryant of Shrill and SNL’s Colin Jost made surprise appearances at Brooklyn’s Extra Fancy and the Financial District’s Underdog. Bryant and Jost performed spontaneous stand-up comedy routines and played a small game of sending selfies to each other.
