President Barack Obama stole a line from Beyonce on the “Tonight Show” hosted by Jimmy Fallon Thursday, showcasing his non-business side to America.
Fallon opened the show with jokes before introducing Obama for the show’s “slow jamming the news” segment with the Roots band singer.
“Hello. I’m president Barack Obama. I, too, would like to slow jam the news,” Obama told the audience. “It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve as your president for the past eight years. When I first took office our nation was facing one of the worst recessions in our history … through the actions of my administration we were able to stimulate the economy and get our country back on track.”
Fallon jumped in, “President Obama stimulating long-term growth in both the public and the private sector. In 2008 the country wasn’t feeling in the mood. It was too tired and stressed. Said it had a headache. Barack lit some candles and got some silky sheets … told the American people, ‘Yes, we can.'”
“He created tons of jobs for you and me he’s got one more left for Hillary,” the backup singer chimed in.
The trio continued, with Fallon leaping to the Beyonce reference that triggered the line of the night.
“Commander in preach — you gotta listen to my man — accomplished a lot in eight years even when Congress tried to block him. He found a way in through the backdoor … gave him lemons he made so much lemonade Beyonce started calling him Baracky with the good hair,” Fallon sang.
“There will be no third term. I can’t stay forever. Besides, Daddy’s got a Hawaiian vacation booked in about 223 days,” Obama said.
Obama also mentioned his new favorite show, “Orange is not the new black,” a reference to the Netflix sitcom.
Pulling a move from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April, Obama finished the set by again, dropping the mic.
