Whoever said spiritual couldn’t be sensual? Well, it certainly wasn’t Chrissy Teigen.

The Queen of Twitter told late-night host Jimmy Fallon all about her newfound attraction to the messiah when she appeared on the “Tonight Show” on Tuesday.

Of course, this new hot and bothered attitude toward the son of God has more to do with the fact her husband, singer John Legend, is going to be playing the titular role in NBC’s upcoming TV musical, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live.”

“He’s like a hip Jesus, though,” Teigen said. “I saw their fitting and it was so funny, it’s like white Balmain jeans, Rick Owens torn, white shirt. I’m like, ‘Jesus is hot!’ He looks good!'”

The R&B star is playing opposite Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper as King Herod in the Easter Sunday rock opera.

Fox’s Sunday effort is the lowest-rated and least-watched since the genre’s rebirth — here are the ones that did better

Fox’s “Rent” got evicted in ratings on Sunday -- at least, when comparing the semi-live TV musical to all the ones that came before it. And yes, that includes another poor performer, Fox’s “A Christmas Story Live.”

Due to a key cast member’s injury, the network's “Rent” used mostly pre-taped footage from a Saturday dress rehearsal and couldn't hold a (lit or unlit) candle to Fox and NBC's previous live TV musicals among adults in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic or in total viewers.

Scroll through our gallery to see how each of broadcast TV's previous live productions ranks by Nielsen numbers since the genre's rebirth. Least-viewed is first, most-watched last.
