AceShowbiz - Billy Eichner had Michelle Obama as a guest for the first episode of "Billy on the Street" in 2015. The First Lady appeared on the comedy game show to promote the "Eat Brighter!" campaign which raises awareness for healthy eating.
Mrs. Obama was joined by Big Bird and another guest, Elena, who was surprised to see the First Lady. "I just can't believe it. This is the best day of my life," she said. "You're not like an actress being Michelle Obama?...I love Michelle Obama."
The two ladies then began playing a funny game called "Ariana Grande or Eating a Carrot?" where they had to answer absurd questions like, "Who's more deserving of a Kennedy Center Honor: Martin Short or a frozen box of corn?" and "Did you guys know Ted Danson was on CSI?"
The FLOTUS moved on to the bonus round, where she was asked to slow dance with Big Bird to "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", and push Eichner through the store in a shopping cart while he read Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar acceptance speech for "Shakespeare in Love". He also asked the First Lady to give him a hug and "a knowing look that tells me it's all gonna be OK."
Eichner said Mrs. Obama won the game and her prize was a picture of Ariana Grande's ponytail.
Before the contest, the First Lady was asked what they watched on DVR. "A lot of Sports Center going on in our house," she said. "If I want to talk to him, I've got to know a little bit about football, basketball or whatever it is."
