Midway through NBC’s live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar Live on Sunday, the show was kicked into overdrive by having rock icon Alice Cooper appear as King Herod.
The “School’s Out” singer, with microphone in hand and dancing showgirls at his side, performed “King Herrod’s Song (Try and See It)” with ease. His performance earned a standing ovation inside the theater and a rousing applause from fans watching at home.
