Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' to
Bring First Lady on for Premiere Week
by Christian Toto 10 Feb 2014, 9:32 AM PDT
Jimmy Fallon will get a visit from an old pal during
his first week overseeing The Tonight Show.
First Lady Michelle
Obama, who famously cut a rug with Fallon in drag for a comedy
sketch, will be among the show's guests during the first week of Fallon's time
as host.
The two clicked last year for the viral
video The Evolution of Mom Dancing.
More importantly, Fallon has done some
heavy lifting on behalf of her husband. Fallon's old Late Night perch invited
the president on to "slow jam" the news, essentially letting Barack Obama push his agenda via the comedy format during an
election season.
Fallon, like most talk show hosts, avoided
taunting the president during the monologue segment of the Late Show.
It remains to be seen if he follows in the footsteps of his predecessor, Jay
Leno, who gleefully mocked presidents from both parties during his 22 year
reign on the landmark NBC show.
The First Lady will appear on Fallon's New
York-based Tonight Show Feb. 20.
