Watch James Franco Repeatedly Question Nicki Minaj About Her Butt

Updated on Aug 20, 2014 at 5:45 PM

James Franco and Seth Rogen's new comedy, The Interview, doesn't come out until Christmas, but thanks to the VMAs, we just got an extended peek at their characters. Franco plays TV interviewer Dave Skylark, opposite Rogen as his producer, Aaron Rapoport. The two star in a promo for this weekend's award show, alongside a very annoyed Nicki Minaj and nominees Jason Derulo and Iggy Azalea. The first two interviews are funny, but when Skylark gets to Minaj and won't stop asking about her butt in roundabout ways, it gets even better. In case you've escaped Minaj's "Anaconda" video, you're missing out on all the bootylicious moments that make this interview totally, totally valid. Take a look.
