Highlights

  • The special segment featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
  • It looks at President Obama's accomplishments during his two terms
  • The video has collected over 3.9 million views in four hours on Facebook
Barack Obama may have only eight months left in office but he's making sure you remember him as the coolest US president ever. In the last two months, he's assisted Lin-Manuel Miranda in a freestyle White House rap and been part of a hilarious spoof on his retirement plan. Now, if it's even possible, he's topped his game by slow-jamming the news with television host Jimmy Fallon on his show.

The special segment, featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 9, looks at President Obama's accomplishments during his two terms. And since Fallon believes it needs to be slow-jammed, POTUS gets on board too. And how!

While the slow-jam includes the pair talking about President Obama creating jobs, making developments in climate change, introducing affordable healthcare and legalizing same-sex marriages, the two also make jokes about Republican candidate Donald Trump's orange tan (his favourite show is Orange is Not the New Black), Beyonce's Lemonade (how she started calling him "Baracky with Good Hair") and even Fallon himself (how he probably can't imagine doing the same job for eight years).

There's also something about POTUS finding a way in 'through the back door' when Congress tried to block him.

We'll let you watch the men in action below. There's a reason the video has collected over 3.9 million views within four hours of being posted on Facebook. Enjoy.
