NEW YORK, June 17 (UPI) — Just one day after entering the presidential race, Jeb Bush appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show to “slow jam” the news.
In the segment, the former Florida governor laid out his presidential platform, leaving Fallon to jazz it up with sexual innuendo.
“After months of being a total caucus tease, Jeb finally made up his mind and quit beating around the bush,” Fallon said.
When Fallon asked about immigration, Bush used the opportunity to show off his Spanish language skills.
“Hold the telefono,” Fallon hit back.”
Bush isn’t the first politician to “slow jam” the news. President Barack Obama took part in 2012, when he appeared on the Late Show to promote his college affordability agenda.

NEW YORK (AP) — Republican Jeb Bush is already looking for a new job. For one night only, the presidential candidate is replacing Brian Williams as a comic straight man.
Bush is being featured Tuesday on the “Tonight” show’s recurring “slow jam the news” skit with host Jimmy Fallon. The job requires the former Florida governor to recite lines while Fallon, stylized as a 1970s soul man, offers a double entendre.
Obama and Mitt Romney have “slow jammed” with Fallon, but suspended NBC anchor Williams has been most commonly featured.
When Bush offers a line in Spanish, Fallon says, “I didn’t realize I was interviewing Gov. Pitbull.”
That’s a crack aimed at the Miami-born rapper Pitbull.
