The president suggested during the segment that he could bring back the 'Obama fro' after he departs the White House. No president has ever appeared on Tonight, but Obama in 2012 teamed up with Fallon when the comedian was still the host of The Late Show to 'slow jam' the news Later in the appearance during another canned segment Fallon helped Obama write thank you notes related to his time in office. 'It's not something that I think is the best way for me to use my time after I get out of office.' 'I look pretty good in a robe,' he said, laughing before he seriously rejected the notion that he wants to sit on the high court. Obama has not said what he will do after he leaves office, but he suggested to Fallon he isn't interested in being appointed to the open Supreme Court position. It's basically a play phone like a three-year-old would play with, he said. Then he said he found out that for security reasons, 'it doesn't take pictures, you can't text, the phone doesn'tt work, you cant play your music on it.' 'And so years pass and nobody else a Blackberry.'įinally, this year he said the government gave him a smart phone. 'So I'm excited.' 'I was this cool, high tech guy when I got there, right, and I was the first president to have a Blackberry,' he said.
He has one now, but it's limited in function. The president said the one experience that will be new to him is using a smart phone. 'The ATM thing I remember, pressing buttons on elevators I'm worried about,' Obama snarked. It's a testament to the job that Michelle and her mother did raising them, he said, because they didn't let their upbringing 'go to their heads.'įallon intimated that it may be difficult for Obama to return to private life, too. Obama said he and wife Michelle were worried their daughters might become snobs after living at the White House but they have grown up to be smart, funny and kind, and 'they don't have an attitude.' It will be somewhere warm, unlike like Washington, D.C., which drops to freezing temperatures in January when the inauguration is held Obama told Fallon that his first stop after the White House won't be his new residence. 'Besides, daddy's got a Hawaii vacation booked in about 223 days, days but who's counting.' 'I can't stay forever,' he said during the musical skit. Obama is constitutionally prohibited from serving a third-term and must make way early next year for a new president. He allowed Fallon to claim the country wasn't in the 'mood' when he took office in 2008 because it was 'too tired' but now, after lighting some candles and putting on silky, satin sheets, Obama's 'stimulating long term growth in both the public and private sector.'Īt that point The Roots' Tariq Trotter chimed in to say Obama, who by the time the pre-taped show had aired had made an endorsement in the presidential race, 'created tons of jobs for you and me, he's got one left for Hillary.' On the Thursday episode of Tonight, Obama participated in the sometimes-raunchy sketch again.

Obama is constitutionally prohibited from serving a third-term and must make way early next year for a new president 'I'm gonna get some sleep that's for sure,' Obama said. It will be somewhere warm, unlike like Washington, D.C., which drops to freezing temperatures in January when the inauguration is held. His first stop after the White House won't be his new residence, though, Obama said. Making jokes about Congress blocking his agenda so much he had to come in 'through the back door,' according to Fallon, and how much 'lemonade' he's making - ' Beyonce started calling him "Baracky with the Good Hair" ' - the duo chronicled Obama's nearly eight years in office, an appointment that will soon come to an end.įallon and Obama also talked about what life outside the White House will be like for the outgoing president who will have a unique housing arrangement after he's booted from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to appear on The Tonight Show on Thursday as he sat down with current host Jimmy Fallon to 'slow jam' the news and talk about the U.S.
