Kristin Chenoweth sings Anthony Weiner "Popular" parody

Kristin Chenoweth has a lesson for Anthony Weiner on how to be the right kind of "Popular," in the wake of his most recent sexting scandal. The Broadway actress appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Tuesday night, and sang the famous tune from "Wicked," in a special tribute to the disgraced congressman and flailing NYC mayoral candidate.

"Don't worry, Carlos Danger is no more. He's out the door and now for sure, you will be popular. The right kind of popular," she sang. "I'll teach you to zip your fly, you won't be that guy with a camera down his pants. I'll teach you what tweets to tweet, something clean and sweet."

Chenoweth also addressed Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, taking a more serious tone: "Seriously Huma, woman to woman, if that guy doesn't zip up and unplug, just kick him to the curb," she sang. "And to Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner, or whatever your name is, as you may have guessed, my disinterest in your running NYC, don't know if I can bare it, your porno popularity."

Check out Chenoweth's hilarious punch to Weiner's gut in the video above, and let us know what you think. Was it too wicked or was it all in good fun?
