Watch President Obama slow jam the news
See the outgoing president drop the mic on The Tonight Show.
President Obama appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show on Thursday (June 9), where he “slow jammed the news” with the musical backing of Questlove and the show’s house band The Roots.
The seven-minute segment saw Obama outline his achievements in eight years of office, throw shade at Donald Trump, dance to an impromptu rendition of Rihanna’s ‘Work’ and drop the mic.
