President Barack Obama returned to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, where he not only sat for an interview with the host but he also helped Jimmy and house band The Roots slow jam the news. Obama showed off his humorous side during his visit, especially when he slow jammed the news.

“Hello, I’m President Barack Obama, and I too, would like to slow jam this news,” the Commander In Chief said as he teamed with Fallon and The Roots. The band laid down a slick groove while the prez talked about the successes of his eight years in office. Jimmy threw in backing vocals of his own. Our favorite part came when Fallon asked the president if he’d be following recent election coverage and Obama quipped “No, but I have been watching my new favorite show, Orange Is Not the New Black.”
