Douglas Gorenstein—NBC/Getty Images  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Jun 17, 2015 11:57 AM UTC Forget Iowa and New Hampshire — the hottest spot on the campaign trail is late-night television. Jeb Bush, who announced he was running for president on Monday, stopped by Jimmy Fallon’s _The Tonight Show_ to slow jam the news — something you may recall President Obama did back in 2012\. While the “news” in this case wasn’t recent headlines but a brief summary of Bush’s formal campaign announcement and select accomplishments, Fallon’s suggestive commentary made the segment something you _definitely_ haven’t heard before. “He’s got lots of experience down south,” Fallon joked. “He came from Texas where everything is bigger. He turned Florida from a limp peninsula into a virile member of the U.S. economy.” See the full video below, as well as Fallon’s interview with Bush, where the presidential hopeful talks about how he met his wife: ### See Jeb Bush's Life in Photos  George W.
