Can you blame them?
Via Vanity Fair:
The First Lady and new Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon have established themselves as a winning content-generating duo, having collaborated on the “Evolution of Mom-Dancing” clip, about a year ago, which has accrued more than 17 million YouTube views at this point. Michelle Obama returned to pay Fallon a visit last night, to help close out his first week on the job. This time around, she appeared in a skit with Fallon and Will Ferrell called “Ew” in which Fallon and Ferrell play teenage girls, who greet their new friend Michelle. The skit oscillates between Saturday Night Live-style wackiness (Michelle gives an excellent “shy face”) and Sesame Street-style pedanticism (Michelle spends much of the clip advocating for healthy eating and exercise), but it’s all worth it to her Michelle’s take on the vocal fry-inflected “ew.”
On Malia and Sasha, after Fallon asked if they’d be watching her appearance on the show: “They are 15 and 12. They want nothing to do with us. They want normalcy and the White House is not normal.” She said Malia has told her, when asked if she wants to have any friends over, that “no one wants to come to the White House.”
