Brian Williams Rocks "Rapper's Delight" On The Tonight Show

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Brian Williams'NBC Nightly News commentary gets the remix treatment as his broadcast dialogue is chopped and repurposed as the verses from the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." Williams' appearance follows Jimmy Fallon's recent move to The Tonight Show and a series of solid homeruns as the voice of Late Night's Slow Jam The News segment. Brian Williams is joined on the classic rap track by his esteemed colleague Lester Holt, who is kind enough to handle Big Bank Hank's verse. Check the footage below to watch the remix of "Rapper's Delight" from Brian Williams and the NBC Nightly News cast. Stay tuned for more from The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
