Hairspray Live: Kristin Chenoweth and Derek Hough Recall Their Worst Hair Ever

Actor and vocalist star Kristin Chenoweth is the living embodiment of perfection but, if you can wrap your mind around it, she once did something wrong in life: she had tragic hair. As the Hairspray Live! star reveals in this video, she once had a perm, thanks to her Mom, that was a "funeral in the front and a funeral in the back." And there are photos somewhere! Yikes.

She's not the only member of the cast who's ever rocked a disastrous 'do though. Check out the video to see what horrible hair her co-stars admit to having, including Derek Hough's Darth Vader-inspired helmet moment. All of them -- who'll have much better coifs in NBC's production airing in December -- recall some pretty bad styles, but Harvey Fierstein's reaction to Jennifer Hudson's admission of a Jheri Curl is nothing short of priceless.

Hairspray Live! airs Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
