Wednesday’s episode of ABC’s Abbott Elementary featured a surprise infusion of Papa Roach.
During the episode, the teachers head to a karaoke bar, where the character Jacob, played by Chris Perfetti, shocks his co-workers with a passionate rendition of the 2000 nu metal staple “Last Resort.”
Abbott Elementary previously crossed over into the rock world with a Fall Out Boy reference during its 2024 Halloween episode.
In other nu metal in unexpected places news, an American Idol contestant auditioned during Sunday’s episode with performances of Korn‘s “Freak on a Leash” and Drowning Pool‘s “Bodies,” inspiring judge and noted rock fan Carrie Underwood to sing along.
