The previous four First Ladies combined made a grand total of one late-night appearance while they were in the White House.

Via WaPo:

Maybe she’s a night owl. Or really likes making small talk with comedians. Whatever her reasons, Michelle Obama wins the “first lady of late night” award.

FLOTUS, who’s slated to be one of Jimmy Fallon’s first guests in his new job hosting “The Tonight Show,”  has, by our count, appeared at least 14 times on late-night shows since her husband took office in January 2009. She also stopped by The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno prior to being first lady.

Her predecessors don’t even come close to those stats. Hillary Clinton slipped in a visit to the Late Show with David Letterman during her last year as first lady. Barbara Bush and Laura Bush have each made at least one appearance on the late-night circuit, but not while their husbands were in office. And Nancy Reagan — thanks to her Hollywood ties — made two stops during her pre-White House days at “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson.
