President Obama to Do Popular Comedy Bit on ‘Fallon’ Tonight

While it was safe to assume that the President would be sitting down for an interview on tonight’s very special Late Night appearance, few would have guessed he’d be down for some comedy. Which familiar Fallon bit will he be joining in on? Spoilers through the jump.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, who is sourcing the White House pool report, Barack greeted the crowd with a special edition of Brian Williams’ favorite Slow Jam the News.

According to the White House pool report, Obama appeared from behind the curtain to a rousing ovation from the students at UNC Chapel Hill, announcing that “I’m President Barack Obama and I too want to slow-jam the news.”

The report says he then let out a soulful song about student loans — perhaps the first — as the band played a “moody, bluesy” tune behind him and host Fallon chimed in with verses about Stafford Loans.

The article continues with a few highlights from the Interview, including what the President had to say about Mitt Romney.

This is the closest I’m going to get to politics folks, so enjoy it.
