14 DAY TRIAL // Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is keeping up to his old antics as he brings back to the show one of his old friends, anchor Brian Williams, who has unwittingly become a rapper when he was presented on the screen with his own rendition of “Rapper’s Delight.”
Now, the serious news anchor has a brand new song out, and it’s yet another rap classic, Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice.” For those who follow The Tonight Show, the recipe is familiar: a montage of cunningly spliced videos in which the anchor can be heard rapping perfectly the lyrics to the famous song.
Believe it or not, but it’s hilarious to hear a very serious NBC news anchor rapping “I've got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too.... Sipping on gin and juice, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind.”
While it’s undoubtedly very funny, one can’t help but notice that it took some video editors an insane amount of work. It was probably hundreds of man hours of sifting through news bulletins, searching for the right words to make up the lyrics.
In fact, that’s probably the only thing preventing Jimmy Fallon from showing more of these videos that prove to be quite a hit with the audiences and also make Brian Williams into quite the rapper.
