Being able to experience TV’s beloved firefighters turning off their acting chops and playing an early 2000s R&B classic isn’t something that happens every day. However, that’s exactly what Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kenneth Choi have done in a truly charming new video. The video shared by Deidre Behar Wellman shows the ‘9-1-1’ stars showing their commitment to the characters of Nelly and Kelly Rowland with the song’s signature head bobs and looks.
While the video has the unmistakable catchy ‘Dilemma’ part, actors Hewitt and Choi simultaneously utter the words: “Oh, I love you, oh, I need you.” The louder context is very comedic, but the chemistry between the two actors, who play Maddie and Chimney on the popular ABC drama, is palpable. It’s a rare glimpse of the off-duty cast that fans rarely get to see.
The post had a light-hearted question directed at the original artists, “@nelly @kellyrowland how did we do it? 🤣🤣🤣” Additionally, the legend tagged his co-stars and the show’s official account, making it a complete ‘9-1-1’ family reunion. The hashtags #dilemma and #dilemmachallenge hinted that they were part of a very popular trend on social media.
The response from the followers was immediate and extremely positive. “Perfection lol! You all are a good team Birthday Queen ❤️,” one user captioned the performance, adding that the post had a fun and festive vibe. Someone else just wrote, “Hahaha I love this, you guys are the best. ❤️👏,” reflecting the cast’s overall feeling of friendship.
One very sweet comment from a fan was about the part of Kenneth Choi’s costume where he looked “too cute” with his glasses: “Kenny with his adorable glasses 😍😄 I love everything about this.” Rather, it’s those little humanizing details that make the video so genuine and adorable.
Even the author participated in the comments to humorously mock her famous friends. She commented, “@jenniferlovehewitt @kennethchoi_ next time I’ll text you using Excel 😂,” which is a very clever reference to the classic music video scene where Kelly Rowland’s character texts Nelly on a desktop computer.
There were very happy responses and one user, siarabehar, said: “Hahahaha this is too good!!!!!” then in response to their own comment, and it was about them being “trying to persuade JLH and KC to do this gig.” It’s a sign of how compelling and entertaining his little performance really was.
