Jimmy Kimmel had some fun with first lady Michelle Obama in a funny segment encouraging her to open up about things she couldn’t say while in the White House. Obama was promoting her new memoir Becoming and sounded off about hilarious things she wishes she could have said while serving a FLOTUS.

“You picked a great night to show up,” Kimmel told his studio audience on Thursday night
“You remember Mrs. Obama? From when we had a United States?” Kimmel asked.
“Our former First Lady is here to share stories from her new autobiography, Becoming. As in, ‘What the hell is this country Becoming?’”
Here are some other comical comments Obama made:
Obama: “I’ve never eaten a vegetable.”
Kimmel: “I knew it, I knew it.”
O: “The whole eight years we were in the White House, we used Laura Bush’s Netflix password.”
K: “Really? Wow, it’s a revelation.”
O: “Laura, sorry, send me the bill.”
O: “I’m not sure which one’s Sasha and which one’s Malia.”
O: “You know, they agree. They get so mad every time I mess their names up.”
K: “Alright, couple more, these are important.”
O: “I stole the phrase ‘when they go low, we go high’ from the back of a Snapple Cap.”
O: “Barry! Be quiet and hold my purse.”
K: “And your final outrageous statement to make now that you’re no longer first lady…”
O: “Clooney is my freebie.”
