Jimmy Fallon ain't messin' with Michelle Obama's dougie. The First Lady joins the "Late Night" host for "Evolution of Mom Dancing," a send-up of the viral video, "Evolution of Dance." The Fallon-Obama dance off, which preceded her sit-down interview Friday night (Feb. 22), was introduced in honor of the Michelle's "Let's Move" campaign.
Jimmy wears a wig with a pink cardigan and khaki capri pants, while Michelle quickly joins him wearing a slightly more stylish mom costume.
