Brian Williams’ rap career has been going strong for the better part of a year now. Thanks to the editing team at The Tonight Show (and Late Night before that), Williams has covered tracks by Marky Mark, Snoop Dog, and the very best, Sugarhill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight.

In the latest, Williams is back with more Snoop Dog, and this time Fallon has forced him through editing to perform a really great rendition of Gin and Juice.

Even better than that video, though, is when BWilly stopped by Fallon’s show last night to give his thoughts on his new rap career. His stoic professionalism doesn’t even hint at cracking, even when discussing his issues with Lester Holt’s “flow.” It’s especially impressive because Fallon, next to him, is like a kid on Christmas, not even trying to hold his sh*t together. (But does he ever?)
