It’s Brian Williams from the, the, the news
Naturally, if Brian Williams, the legendary news anchor, reporter and journalist, actually rapped Snoop Dogg‘s timeless hit “What’s My Name” on his nationally syndicated nightly post–a post which draws an average of just over 9 million viewers per night–chances are, he’d rub a few hundred thousand Americans the wrong way. Thankfully, it’s 2015, and we have the internet. And Final Cut Pro.
Jimmy Fallon‘s wizard of a video editor, John McDonald, is no stranger to making Brian Williams rap what he wants Brian Williams to rap, and he seems to be a bit of a Snoop Dogg fan. The last time we saw edited Brian Williams kicking rhymes, he was giving us his Nightly News rendition of Snoop’s “Gin & Juice.” This time, it’s “What’s My Name,” and it’s pretty awesome.
