The Roots Slow Jamming the News with Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is a funny enough guy, but the only reason the the Late Night Show is worth watching if you are a frequent insomniac like me, is the genius infusion of the Legendary Roots Crew. It's basically variety show MCed by Black Thought and ?uestlove where Jimmy Fallon is the featured guest every night.

Check out their pure musical and comedic genius in a running sketch: Slow Jam the News.

Black Thought can belt a damn good tune, and I want his tailor.


Topic: Nancy Pelosi getting pissed at governors rejecting stimulus money.

Key line: "She added an amendment!"


Topic: The AIG bailout.

Key line: "I want my whistle blow-w-w-wn!"


Topic: North Korea expelling nuclear inspectors.


Topic: Obama's supreme court pick.
