Gabby Douglas: Olympic gymnast is golden in ‘Tonight’ appearance

Mr. Leno started to reply, when Mrs. Obama jumped in.

“Even you, too, Jay!” she said.

On another sports-related topic, Mr. Leno put the first lady on the spot about what he called “this whole kiss cam thing” at a recent basketball game.

Last month, she and President Obama were at a U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team exhibition game in Washington when the arena’s “Kiss Cam” panned to them. She appeared to shake her head “no” to a smooch.

That’s not what happened, Mrs. Obama told Mr. Leno.

“I had just walked in and sat down, and I just saw my face on the Jumbotron. And I’m still a little embarrassed. … I didn’t see the ‘kiss cam’ part,” she said.

After the couple was booed, daughter Malia set them straight.

“She was just disgusted with us,” Mrs. Obama recounted. “She said, ‘Why didn’t you kiss?’”

The 13-year-old quickly proved her skills as a problem-solver.

“I’ve arranged for you to get another chance on the kiss cam,” she told her parents, according to the first lady. The president delivered, giving the first lady a big kiss on the lips and adding a peck on the forehead for good measure.

Then Mr. Leno turned serious, asking Mrs. Obama what she’s proudest of in her husband’s first term.

“Truly, health reform,” including protection for those with pre-existing conditions,” she said.
