We put Chris Stapleton’s talent to the test by writing a song and putting the lyrics (which he has never seen before) on cue cards and having him sing it on the fly in “Wing It & Sing It” with a special appearance from our pal John Stamos!

Stapleton nailed it, he could probably make an awesome song out of reading the assembly instructions for a port o potty.

[@gwenaguilar7049]

Oh be still my heart! He sang to my all time biggest heart throb John Stamos. When I was a kid I had over 300 pictures of him plastered all over my room. I cut out so many magazine pictures and the posters that came in those magazines. I kept them forever. Unfortunately through the many moves they were lost.
