Brian Williams is a good sport to do this!  Loved it!

[scarlettlafroth]

OMG!!!  This totally had me busting a gut!!!!  And I love Brain's facial expressions!  

[Rayfire]

This may be one of the greatest sets of skits in late night history. It's a wonderful combination of serious and humorous. And Brian Williams. Too funny.

[DGenerationMC]

If this was the news, I'd watch it every damn day!

[jvpublicrelationsny]

love Brian's face as he takes in the music as Jimmy raps.

[NotTheLarryDavid]

Jimmy Fallon (and The Roots, and the entire crew, truth be told) managed to bring a breath of fresh air into the arguably pasty late night scene. They changed the late night television panorama so much in these last couple of years — my hat's off to all of them — and this clip is the perfect example of that.

If the news were like this I would gladly watch it.

[WyrdDarcnyzz]

The reactions of Brian and Tariq when they're in the background are the best.

Brian Williams is such a badass. Love how he's got that serious news-anchor style but is actually a really funny guy that is down to Earth. He's awesome

- Tarik's trying to hold his laughter throughout the skit :D
- Questlove's deadpan face when drumming :D
- Brian Williams' face when Jimmy calls him 'Brilly Willy' :D
- All that pun about soft wiener and it being leaning to the left .. :D :D
- "Fifty shades of Brian Williams!" :D
