Waxman Staff Writer Feb 3, 2015 3:31 PM UTC Thanks to some expert video editing of anchor Brian Williams’s newscasts on NBC _Nightly News_, _The Tonight Show_ made it look like the newsman was rapping Snoop Dogg’s “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” on Tuesday night’s episode. In the past, the anchor has “rapped” at least a couple of other Snoop Dogg jams, including [“Gin and Juice”](http://time.com/71604/brian-williams-rapping-snoop-dogg-jimmy-fallon/) and [“Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang”](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/06/07/late-night-laughs-the-5-best-comedy-clips-of-the-week-59/) (featuring Dr. Dre). Other clips in this running gag show him belting out Warren G’s “Regulate,” Sugar Hill Gang’s [“Rapper’s Delight,”](http://time.com/8943/watch-brian-williams-raps-sugar-hill-gangs-rappers-delight/) and Sir Mix-a-Lot’s [“Baby Got Back.”](http://time.com/2888764/brian-williams-jimmy-fallon-rap-baby-got-back/) ### See 13 Stephen Colbert Cameos You Might Have Missed  The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Lake-town Spy Todd Eyre—Warner Bros.
