First Lady Michelle Obama Does Her Best Barack Impression

NOW IT IS MY HONOR TO WELCOME BACK TO THE "LATE SHOW", "THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES, IT IS MY HONOR TO WELCOME MICHELLE OBAMA BACK. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (Applause) (Applause) (Applause) YES ! Stephen: IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN YOU GUYS ARE VERY SWEET TOO Stephen: WELL, I'VE MET SOME PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON D.C., AND NOT EVERYONE GET THAT KIND OF RECEPTION WHEN THEY GO SOMETHING. PLACE. SO YOU ALMOST FINISHED THE EIGHT YEARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YES, ALMOST OUT OF THERE!: HOW DOES THAT FEEL? YES Stephen: OR YOU THINK, “WHERE IS IT?” THE EXIT?" IT'S DEFINITELY BITTERSWEET.

I KNOW. AND I'M CHOWNING BECAUSE WE RAISED OUR CHILDREN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE'VE HAD SO MANY AMAZING EXPERIENCES AND WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL STAFF. YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THAT AND IT'S BEEN JUST AN HONOR. Stephen: HAVE YOU HAD TO TELL THE KIDS, “BE PREPARED. THE NEXT HOUSE IS NOT GOING TO BE LIKE THIS." I ACTUALLY MADE MY KIDS START PACKING THEIR ROOMS. IT'S LIKE, DO THIS. WELL, YOU KNOW. Stephen: YOU SHOULD NOT LEAVE IT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. MY THING IF YOU DON'T PACK IT, THAT'S WHAT I DO. Stephen: THEN IT ENDS UP ON E-BAY.

IT'S ON E-BAY, YOU KNOW. Stephen: WELL, THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION. WHAT I HAVE TO ASK YOU IS WHAT BEYONCE IS REALLY LIKE? (LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE) SHE... SHE'S SO TALENTED I'M HAVING PROBLEMS LOOKING AT HER WITHOUT MY RETINAS BURNING YOU ARE REALLY PASSING AS FRIENDS, RIGHT YOU SHOULDN'T LOOK AT HER. IN THE EYES SHE IS A SPECIAL PERSON. Stephen: WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE BEYONCE'S SHE LOOKS AT YOU. SHE IS SMART. SHE IS A GREAT MOTHER. HER FAMILY. SHE'S... YOU KNOW, SHE'S JUST A DISCET LADY. SO WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON IN THAT RESPECT. EXCEPT I CAN'T SING. (LAUGHTER.) I HAVE SEEN DANCING.

NOT LIKE BEYONCE. Stephen: WELL, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS "ESSENCE" MAGAZINE. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL... (APPLAUSE) TALKING ABOUT HIS EIGHT YEARS THERE. BUT I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS PICTURE, WHICH WHEN IT WAS POSTED, BURNED THE INTERNET, RIGHT THERE. (Applause) WHAT-- THAT'S ME AND MY BOO. Stephen: YOU KNOW, WE LIKE YOU ALREADY. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUBLISH THIS PHOTOGRAPH. WHAT ARE THEY SAYING THERE? HOW DID THIS MOMENT COME ABOUT? YOU KNOW, BARACK IS HORRIBLE AT PHOTO SHOOTS, AND I HATE DOING PHOTO SHOOTS WITH HIM, SO I'M SURE HE WAS SAYING, "WOULD YOU BE PATIENT AND STOP?

DON'T RUSH THE PHOTOGRAPHER." He says, "I think we have a chance. Can I go, can I go?" "NO, YOU CAN'T GO." THAT WAS EXACTLY: BARACK HAS TWO SMILES FOR ONE PHOTO. IT'S LIKE THIS SMILE OR THIS SMILE. (LAUGHTER) AND HE JUST LIKE, "I THINK WE'RE DONE. WE GOT IT." AND HE'S LIKE, "NO WE DIDN'T. THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE BEEN SETTING UP FOR HOURS." HE COMES IN AND SAYS, "I THINK I CAN GIVE YOU FIVE MINUTES." She was trying to convince him to lighten up and relax, so they caught that argument. (LAUGHTER) Stephen: THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE? Relax.

CHILL OUT. Stephen: "PLEASE, PLEASE, JUST ONE MORE PHOTOGRAPH." AND HE SAYS, "REALLY?" Stephen: WHO IS DIFFICULT TO GET TO REPRESENT IN A PHOTOGRAPH, YOUR HUSBAND OR YOUR CHILDREN? OH MY HUSBAND, WITHOUT A DOUBT. WELL...YES, HE. IT'S HARD. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY HIM OR BO AND SONNY. Esteban: WELL? HIM. (LAUGHTER) Stephen: NOW, THAT SMILE, THAT WAS A VERY GOOD IMPRESSION OF YOUR HUSBAND. DO YOU MAKE AN IMPRESSION OF YOUR HUSBAND? ALL THREE OF US HAVE GOOD IMPRESSIONS OF BARACK. Stephen: WOULD YOU MIND SHARING A LITTLE? IT'S USUALLY THE DINNER TABLE BECAUSE YOU KNOW: MALIA WILL START BECAUSE SHE USUALLY ASKS A SERIOUS QUESTION. "DAD, TELL US ABOUT YOUR KAY.

AND WHAT'S ABOUT THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING?" AND SASHA AND I ARE LIKE, "NO, DON'T MAKE IT START." AND HE SAYS, "WELL, I'M GLAD... I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT. LET ME JUST... LET ME ANSWER THAT IN THREE POINTS. ONE..." AND THEN ONE "A", AND ONE... "A AND B." AND SASHA AND THEY ARE LIKE OH! Stephen: YOU'RE LIKE, PROFESSOR, CAN I AUDIT THIS LECTURE? BECAUSE SASHA AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR FAVORITE SONG FROM THE ALBUM "LEMONADE". HE DON'T WANT TO GO THERE I HEARD YOU SAY ABOUT THE PRESIDENT THAT HE LEAVES WORK AT THE DOOR WHEN HE ENTER THE RESIDENTIAL PART OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

IT DOES. Stephen: IS THAT REALLY TRUE? I CAN'T LEAVE MY WORK AT THE DOOR. HOW DO YOU LEAVE THAT AT THE DOOR? YOU KNOW, AT LEAST OUR TIME TOGETHER. WHEN HE FIRST COMES IN, WE HAVE DINNER. It's usually dinner time. So that's the moment where, unless Malia asks him about her job, which we try to get him not to do, it's all about the kids, you know. "HOW WERE YOUR DAYS? WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHAT'S THE LATEST GOSSIP?" He really likes gossip, so you can catch him, because he has no life. (LAUGHTER) Stephen: NO, BUT IT HAS THE N.S.A.

AND YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT ANY OF US ARE THINKING. (LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE) SO BEING FIRST LADY, BEING FIRST LADY, OBVIOUSLY, IS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS A GREAT HONOR AT THE SAME TIME. DO YOU HAVE ANY FAKE FIRST LADY PASS, LIKE "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MOMENT?" MANY OF THEM. THEY GENERALLY INVOLVE MISPRONOUNCING SOMEONE'S NAME. I'M SO HORRIBLE. Stephen: BECAUSE YOU GO ALL OVER THE WORLD. OH GOD, NAMES ARE SO DIFFICULT. AND I PRACTICE AND I TRY TO GET... AND THEN I GET THERE AND RUIN IT. EVEN NAMES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. I mean, kids nowadays, their names.

I mean... I can tell you that I think I've done well. I'M LOOKING AT THE BUSINESS CARD AND IT SAYS: NO, IT'S NOT TERRY, IT'S TER-REE. I'M USUALLY LIKE, "HEY, HONEY, HOW ARE YOU?" He has GIVEN UP THAT. Stephen: IT'S COLBERT, THE "T" IS NOT PRONOUNCED. AND IT'S NOT STEVE. IT'S STEPHEN. Stephen: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING. I REMEMBER THAT, I REMEMBER. Stephen: THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU. BECAUSE YOU'RE VERY DELICIOUS ABOUT THAT. ( LAUGHTER ). Stephen: I WAS THERE... CAN YOU HAVE AN "OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS FUN THING I HAVE TO DO" ​​MOMENT.

SO MANY. PIAMA AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Esteban: WHAT? YES, WHAT? Stephen: DID YOU AND THE QUEEN PAINTING YOUR TOE NAILS OR SOMETHING? NO, THEY WERE WELCOME FOR THE STATE DINNER. WHEN YOU ARE THE GUEST COUNTRY YOU STAY IN THE PALACE. I REMEMBER ASKING FOR FRENCH FRIES AT THE PALACE. THEY WERE GOOD. Stephen: DO THEY HAVE FRIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE? YES, YOU HAVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. DO YOU THINK THAT -- ORGANIC VEGETABLES ARE MISSING. HEY, HEY, NOT EVERY DAY. BUT YOU KNOW. I LOVE FRENCH FRIES. I AM A BIG FAN OF POTATO FRIES. THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO EAT VEGETABLES BECAUSE -- JUST TO BALANCE IT.

TO BALANCE IT, SURE. IT WOULD GET UGLY. Stephen: YOU TOLD OPRAH: MY GOOD FRIEND OPRAH. PLEASE SAY HELLO. I WILL. Stephen: THAT YOUR HUSBAND-- I WANT TO DO THIS RIGHT-- YOU CALLED HIM SCITUATE SWAGGA-LICIOUS. I DID IT. Stephen: HOW IS SWAGGA-LICIOSA ACHIEVED? HE IS A PERSON WHO HAS A LOT OF SWAG. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SWAG IS, STEVE, YOU DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE IT. (Applause and applause) Stephen: I THINK... I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO TO A COMMERCIAL. I WILL WORK ON MY SWAG. WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA.
