‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ Star Tituss Burgess Says Beyonce Episode Was ‘Uphill Challenge’ (Exclusive Video)

“Surprisingly enough, I don’t walk in heels on a regular basis,” Burgess tells TheWrap

Tituss Burgess recently learned the hard way why there’s only one Beyonce.

The “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” actor tells TheWrap that the toughest part of the Netflix comedy’s third season was filming the parody of Beyonce’s “Lemonade,” which took place after his character, Titus Andromedon, became suspicious that his significant other was unfaithful.

“The most challenging thing, and not just because it’s the episode I submitted, but it was the ‘Lemonade’ episode,” says Burgess, who earned his third straight Emmy nomination last month for his role on the series that stars Ellie Kemper.

“Surprisingly enough, I don’t walk in heels on a regular basis, and I don’t wear dresses on a regular basis, and I don’t swim, and I don’t dance,” he added. “So all things Beyonce creates a bit of an uphill challenge that so few of us will ever fully achieve.”

“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.
