Darren Crisscan turn anything into a musical moment!
In PEOPLE’s exclusive first look at Monday’s episode ofCelebrity IOU, the actor and singer burst into song while helping hostJonathan Scottdecide on the perfect designs to transform his best friend and manager Ricky’s backyard.
After watching Jonathan lay out some tile options, Criss remarks, “that makes it all pop,” before jokingly adding, “What do I know? I’m an actor.”
“John, this stone, yougottause it,” Criss, 34, forcefully remarks, getting into character, before playfully adding, “See? That is what the pros do.”
Clearly impressed, Jonathan replies, “You moved me.”
Then, imagining that they were in a musical, Criss launches into an impromptu song. “You gotta use this stone, yeah / You gotta use that fixture / You gotta get yourself a counter with some white finishes / And if you’re lucky have some brass,” he sings.
“Is this anything this man can’t do?” Jonathan adds in a confessional.
In the episode, Criss teams up with theProperty Brothersstars to transform Ricky’s home as a way to thank him for the years of support. In addition to turning his garage into a much-needed home office, the team will also give his backyard a major upgrade.
“I think the dream for anybody in any profession is to be able to work with your friends,” Criss says in a press release. “Ricky has devoted an unfathomable amount of time—more time than I believe I deserve—away from his wife and his kid to make my dreams come true. This is a small token of all my appreciation for everything he’s done.”
