[@JPumpkinKing]

Brian Williams is a good sport to do this! Loved it!

[@DGenerationMC]

If this was the news, I'd watch it every damn day!

[@3Rayfire]

This may be one of the greatest sets of skits in late night history. It's a wonderful combination of serious and humorous. And Brian Williams. Too funny.

[@scarlettlafroth5925]

OMG!!! This totally had me busting a gut!!!! And I love Brain's facial expressions!

[@PrettyPurpleful]

If the news were like this I would gladly watch it.

[@jvpublicrelationsny4580]

love Brian's face as he takes in the music as Jimmy raps.

[@WyrdDarcnyzz]

The reactions of Brian and Tariq when they're in the background are the best.

[@fairdinkum977]

Brian Williams the legend ! Thank you for your service sir! You'll be missed!

[@NotTheLarryDavid]

Jimmy Fallon (and The Roots, and the entire crew, truth be told) managed to bring a breath of fresh air into the arguably pasty late night scene. They changed the late night television panorama so much in these last couple of years - my hat's off to all of them - and this clip is the perfect example of that.

[@paulczar]

Brian Williams is such a badass. Love how he's got that serious news-anchor style but is actually a really funny guy that is down to Earth. He's awesome

[@MJBYouTubeNetwork]

Honey Bry Bry: *"Push it REAL good!"*

[@GBXS]

It seems like you really *love* public transport.

[@vettefreak89]

3:25 to 3:35 is so funny! especially when Brian said push it lol

[@fUjiMaNia]

Ps. I listen to this everyday on my way to work among the other songs on my daily list. What a master piece!

[@odinmp5]

this is going to my ipod asap... awesome!!!!

[@fUjiMaNia]

odinmp5 All NBC and other news channels care about is ratings, eventually they will beg him to come back after the big drop in their ratings following his suspension.

[@odinmp5]

leefuji soo... yes , i live under a rock. i have never met humans. thanks for that info... i would have never figure it out on my own.

[@fUjiMaNia]

odinmp5 Huh?! I'm confused Lool!

[@Dita_Utomo]

- Tarik's trying to hold his laughter throughout the skit :D - Questlove's deadpan face when drumming :D - Brian Williams' face when Jimmy calls him 'Brilly Willy' :D - All that pun about soft wiener and it being leaning to the left .. :D :D - "Fifty shades of Brian Williams!" :D - "Push it real good!" :D Best Slow Jam The News so far! Loving this!
