Watch the Roots Play Ghostface’s “Mighty Healthy” for Hillary Clinton on “Fallon”

A few days ago, Donald Trump was a guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and was the subject of some ridicule from the show’s house band, the Roots. For each guest they play a song to soundtrack their entrance, and for Trump they played Erykah Badu’s “20 Feet Tall.” (“Then you, you built a wall/A 20-foot wall/So I couldn’t see,” they sang, seeming to mock Trump’s campaign promise to construct a wall along the U.S.’s southern border.)

Last night, during Hillary Clinton’s appearance, the Roots similarly chose walk-on music that reflected recent election headlines. They performed Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele highlight “Mighty Healthy”—seemingly a nod to Clinton’s headline-making health troubles. At the beginning of the interview, Fallon jokingly got out a surgical mask and some antibacterial soap. Watch it happen below.

Ariana Grande also performed “Jason’s Song (Gave It Away)” with the Roots and songwriter Jason Robert Brown. Watch that happen below, as well.
