Michelle Obama to Guest on Debut Week of ‘Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ (Video)
First Lady Michelle Obama will be a guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Feb. 20, the last show of his first week behind the big boy desk.
Obama and Fallon have a fun — albeit brief — late night talk show history. Last year, Obama appeared in a segment called the “Evolution of Mom Dancing” on “Late Night” — the NBC show that Fallon has helmed since 2009. The clip quickly went viral.
