Dogs may be man’s best friend, but toddlers have a knack for stealing the show.

This is the story of a little girl named Coco, who managed to upstage her godfather, Rick Rea, during a live television interview.

Rick, the creative mind behind the hilarious “Fairly Potter” musical and its sequel “A Fairly Potter Christmas Carol,” was on a local breakfast television channel to promote his latest show.

Rick is not just known for his Harry Potter parodies, but also for his ability to create witty, improvised songs on the spot.

On the day of the interview, he found himself in a bit of a scheduling conflict.

He was supposed to babysit his goddaughter, Coco.

Instead of finding a replacement, he decided to bring the adorable toddler along to the interview.

Not knowing what is about to happen during the interview, I am sure he is pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

As Rick sat down at the keyboard, he introduced Coco to the audience.

Rick picked her up and had her play the piano herself.

Coco seemed delighted and immediately raised her arms to be lifted again.

The interviewer then suggested a topic for Rick’s improvised song: two people who’ve been working together for so long that it’s almost like a marriage.

He gave them both names and personality traits: one of them is awkward, the other is a little mothering.

Rick, unfazed, started singing and playing the keyboard right away.

Meanwhile, Coco wasted no time and walked over to the side of the stage for more space to show off her dance moves.

It was hard to focus on Rick’s clever lyrics with a dancing baby stealing the spotlight!

Though he kept going with ease despite the circumstance.

The audience and Coco the baby definitely enjoyed his performance.

Even the camera person couldn’t resist Coco’s charm and strayed away from Rick to capture her dance moves.

The live commentators couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of this little girl, who was clearly enjoying her moment in the spotlight.

It’s safe to say that Coco knows she is stealing the show.

She danced with such joy and confidence, as if it came naturally to her.

She was clearly her godfather’s biggest fan, and her enthusiasm was infectious.
