When Kimmy’s (Ellie Kemper) testifying against Reverend Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm) in Season 1, Titus does an interview in an attempt to gain fame but instead finds notoriety when the session goes badly.

Season 3, Episode 2
Titus’ Beyonce Moment was realized in this reimagining of the singer’s “Hold Up” music video. Declaring he’s “Lemonading,” Titus addresses his frustrations with on-and-off-again love Mikey (Mike Carlsen). The dedication to recreating the cultural phenomenon earns it a spot high up on the list.
2. "Peeno Noir"

That’s why it takes the top spot in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt‘s musical moments.
