Michelle Obama to Humor Jay Leno with Ten Questions for His Little Show

Michelle Obama is joining a roster that already includes Tom Cruise and John McCain, and it has nothing to do with coarse snickers that scare the kids. Following in those dudes' footsteps, Obama will participate via satellite in a Jay Leno Show segment during which a guest answers 10 rapid-fire questions. We assume the line of interrogation will include hysterical topics like Portuguese Water Dog follies and Nancy Pelosi's "b-ball" skills, but Movieline has one question for Obama that Leno shouldn't skip.

This deserves mention: "Why does your husband save all his inoffensive bowling jokes for Letterman?" You'll notice the mention of "bowling" in that clip from May 2008 is mildly humorous, and not as worrisome as the quip from Leno earlier this year. Luckily, we have a decent answer for Michelle too. "Because he gets nervous answering questions at your little airport lounge, Jay."
