Colton Underwood Reenacts His 'Bachelor' Fence Jump on 'Busy Tonight' - Watch Here!

Colton Underwood surprised Bachelor super fan Brittany Snow on last night’s (April 17) episode of Busy Tonight!

Host Busy Philipps made Brittany‘s “tweet dreams” a reality. Back in 2013, the Pitch Perfect actress tweeted, “In my next life. I’m coming back as Chris Harrison. #ThisIstheFinalRose #YesChrisWeAreAware #TheMan.”

Brittany appears in the segment alongside her Someone Great co-star DeWanda Wise and plays her version of Chris Harrison in this mock final rose ceremony — but Colton shuts it down.

“You guys looking for a bachelor?!” Colton pops in. “You know, I ended my season and I’m very happy with Cassie, so I don’t think I need a final rose,” he replies. “So, I think I’m just gonna get out of here.”

FYI: Brittany is wearing a Vatanika dress.
