Jimmy Fallon may have topped himself on Wednesday’s “Tonight Show” when he presented perhaps the magnum opus of “Brian Williams Raps The News” mashups, with the NBC Nightly News anchor taking on Sugar Hill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight — and what a delight it was. See video: Brian Williams Raps Snoop Dogg Compliments of ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ While Fallon has previously mashed-up the newsman rapping Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nwa classics, tonight’s rendition of Rapper’s Delight might have have them all beat.

LAS VEGAS -- NBC Universal relaunched the Web sites for Nightly News With Brian Williams and Access Hollywood this week in conjunction with broadcasting both programs from Consumers Electronics Show.
The News site, which will officially launch Wednesday, will feature the nightly telecast with Brian Williams along with extended interviews and Web-only pieces. News executive producer Alex Wallace said the site, www.nightly.msnbc.com, will be updated throughout the day.
Each night there will be stories that appear online that weren't in the broadcast. Williams will formally unveil the new site after his 6:30 p.m. EST broadcast live from CES
Wednesday.
Wallace said that the new site will allow NBC News to stay fresh 24 hours a day; previously there were no updates after 10 p.m. ET. "Right now we're pretty limited", Wallace said. "We update our broadcast throughout the night but if something happens after 10 p.m. New York time, you have to go somewhere else."
She said the Web stories will be held to the same standard as the broadcast ones, but it will give NBC News a chance to dig deeper.

NEW YORK -- NBC News established a full-time beat on the environment, and named Anne Thompson to lead the coverage as the network's chief environmental affairs correspondent.
Thompson will cover a beat that has become Red Hot in recent years with the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth becoming a hit at the boxoffice and more attention being paid to the environment. Her new beat will have her report on the environment for NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams, Today, MSNBC and online platforms.
"One of the things that we're increasingly taking about is what is our impact on Planet Earth, how can we reduce any kind of negative impact we have," Thompson said. "It's everything from what kind of light bulbs you buy to bigger issues."
Thompson had been NBC's chief financial correspondent since March 2005; she worked as a national correspondent and political correspondent since she joined NBC News in 1997. She also was diagnosed in March 2006 with breast cancer, and had been working while undergoing treatment.

NEW YORK -- NBC News is planning a major multiplatform push for a weeklong series on the medical care of soldiers wounded in the Iraq war.
Wounds of War, reported by chief health/science correspondent Robert Bazell, will air each day Monday through Friday on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams along with an additional report on the weekend news and at least one piece on Today and an hourlong MSNBC documentary in late March.
The reports take an in-depth look at the state of U.S. military medical care in Iraq, which has an amazing -- 96% -- survival rate for the wounded soldiers who make it alive to combat hospitals. Bazell toured three hospitals -- two Army and one Air Force -- talked to medivac personnel and even flew on the U.S. Air Force C-17 jets that serve as airborne intensive care units ferrying the wounded from Iraq to American military hospitals in Germany and then to the U.S.
The reports include interviews with the doctors, nurses and medics treating the wounded as well as some of the wounded themselves.
It was an eye-opening experience for Bazell, who traveled to Iraq to cover the story. He had never been in Iraq, much less to the military hospitals in Balad, Baghdad and Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit.

NEW YORK -- Keith Olbermann will continue to count down the day's top stories on MSNBC for another four years and will add two primetime specials a year and occasional essays to NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams.
Financial terms of the deal for the Countdown host weren't announced.
Locking up Olbermann gives MSNBC added security and firepower at a time when it has never been in a better position against second-place CNN in the cable news race. Countdown, which Olbermann hosts weekdays at 8 p.m. against Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor and CNN's Paula Zahn Now, is been a major growth agent in MSNBC's rise.
Olbermann's ratings have jumped 89% year-over-year, in part because of his commentaries against the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina and against the war in Iraq. And a on-again, off-again feud with O'Reilly as well as the show's quirky, informative and fast-paced tone haven't hurt ratings either.
"It's an incredibly important franchise for us," said NBC News president Steve Capus, adding that Countdown has been the centerpiece for the resurgence and growth at MSNBC.
