Rannells teams up with Josh Gad ("The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"), who was also nominated for a 2011 Tony Award for his performance, to star as an unlikely pair of Mormon missionaries in the new musical.
Mormon, by Emmy Award-winning “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q Tony Award winner Robert Lopez, follows the two Mormons as they venture from Salt Lake City to AIDS-ravaged Uganda in the hopes of converting villagers with the story of Joseph Smith and the founding of the Mormon Church. The problem is only one of them has actually read the book.
Rannells talks about the success of the new musical, his Tony nomination, and also has a sing-off with Fallon to see who can hit the highest note.
