Jeb Bush took to late night TV on Tuesday to try and connect with voters.

One day after announcing his bid for the presidency, the former Florida Republican governor "slow jammed" the news, offered a guacamole recipe and oddly compared his presidential father and brother during a Tonight Show appearance.

He was featured Tuesday night on the show's recurring "slow jam the news" skit with host Jimmy Fallon. The job required Bush to recite lines about his candidacy while Fallon, stylized as a '70s soul man and backed by the Roots, offered a series of double entendres. Bush took the straight man role that was most often filled by NBC's suspended anchorman, Brian Williams.

When "soul man" Fallon asked about immigration, Bush gave his answer in both English and Spanish.

"Whoa, hold the telefono," Fallon said. "I know you just got back from Miami, but I didn't realize I was interviewing Gov. Pitbull," he said, referencing the Miami-born rapper.

Later, an interview with Bush was sandwiched in between appearances by comic Billy Crystal and rock singer Courtney Barnett.

Fallon brought up the time Bush's mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, made a comment about having enough Bushes in the White House. Jeb recalled watching the interview.

"She did it without telling me," he said. "Thanks, mom. She's coming around, thankfully."

Asked by Fallon about how he differentiates himself from his father and sibling George W. Bush, Jeb Bush said that former President George H.W. Bush "is the most perfect man I've ever met."

"My brother, I would say, is a significantly better artist than I am," he said.

Fallon asked no tough questions and seemed to hold pretty tightly to a script, once impersonating Regis Philbin talking about Bush's campaign signs. Bush is the first candidate of the 2016 cycle to appear on Fallon's show.

Fallon noted that the Tonight Show has a lot of younger viewers,and wondered what type of message Bush would offer them.

"I think we need high, sustained economic growth so they can get jobs," he replied.

Fallon wondered what his message would be to older voters.

"I think we need high, sustained economic growth," he said. "To them, I would just say it louder."
