Jimmy Fallon congratulates Coach Prime about his recent success with Jackson State. “Pretty historic season.” Fallon adds, “It’s the first time in Jackson State history, I want to say, that the team won 11 games in a season. That’s you.” Then the host went on to address that two of Sanders’ sons play for Jackson State. “Two of your sons play on the team.” Jimmy asks, “Do they get any special treatment?”

Prime Time wasted no time to answer that question as he quickly replied, “None whatsoever.” He adds, “First of all, they may get it harder than the other kids. If you know which kids are my sons, other than the way they look, I’m not doing my job coaching.”
