Bernie Sanders Channels Lizzo To ‘Slow Jam The News’ With Jimmy Fallon

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) policies got a seductive twist on Tuesday’s broadcast of “The Tonight Show.”

The Democratic presidential candidate slow-jammed his campaign’s main points with host Jimmy Fallon ― and ended by channeling singer Lizzo’s sleeper hit “Good As Hell.”

“We can no longer tolerate three people owning more wealth than the bottom half of America,” Sanders said at one point. “I have the experience to fight for that bottom half and to create an economy that works for all of us, not just those on top.”

To which Fallon had this sultry reply: “Aww yeah. Bernie Sanders is looking out for your bottom half. He knows it’s been neglected for too long. Now he wants to pay it some extra special attention.”

Check out the clip above.

Elsewhere on the show, Sanders threw free-shots with Fallon:

He also explained why it was so important to tackle the climate crisis:

And he addressed pop star Ariana Grande’s apparent endorsement of him:

USA TODAY Sports’ Week 13 NFL picks: Do Steelers get even with Browns, retain final AFC wild-card spot?

Happy Thanksgiving to all, a three-course football feast Thursday serving as mere appetizer with the NFL fielding its first lineup of 16 games since Week 3.

The playoff field can begin filling as the Saints, 49ers and Patriots have opportunities to clinch berths this weekend.

But not so on USA TODAY Sports' picks panel, four of our experts within two wins of each other over the course of the season. Interesting prognostications ahead, too, some foreseeing a Bengals breakthrough, others taking the Texans to upset the Patriots on Sunday night.

But maybe the most compelling matchup, and one creating plenty of divided opinions, will occur in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers host the Browns just two weeks after the Browns manhandled them 21-7 in a game that ended with an ugly brawl. You won't see Myles Garrett in this one, and probably not Mason Rudolph, either. But it could get nasty between two historical rivals both gunning for the AFC's final wild-card spot.

Let's eat.
