“So a personal question,” he began to an unsuspecting Obama via video-chat, “I asked this question of your wife—I interviewed her in Tacoma last year—and she said, ‘The next time I see you I will tell you the answer and I will tell you a story!’ but I haven't seen her. So on the night you did kill Bin Laden, did you and Michelle make love?” Officers, set your faces to stun.Is Barack on candid camera or…..??? We are Steve-Harvey levels of stunned right now.
Obama, being the smooth guy he is, didn’t even miss a beat (although he did look over his shoulder to make sure he wasn’t being punk’d). “Did she say she was going to answer that?” he asked, incredulously.
Jimmy then explained that as he read A Promised Land and in it the President writes about hearing chants outside the White House that night of “USA! USA!”, that Jimmy had “an image in my head.” Uh, Jimmy? That sounds like one of those thoughts that should stay inside your head, but please, continue.
“I suspect that she was asleep,” Obama deadpanned. “Because the truth of the matter is most of the time, by the time I was done working, she'd be snoozing. Michelle goes to bed about nine o'clock.”When Jimmy told him he didn’t have to “make excuses” seeing as how he is also a victim of the ol’ snooze and roll away, Obama responded, “it's not an excuse, it's a lament.”Dang. If Barack wasn’t scared of Michelle before, he should be now.

Speaking of which, Kimmel made sure to bring up something else Michelle told him, which is that Barack is afraid of his own daughter Sasha. True or false, Mr. President?
“Yes,” he admitted, “and the reason is because Sasha is a mini Michelle and I’m afraid of Michelle.”As he should be, frankly. She is a force to be reckoned with and we dig that about her. Barack noted that he and Malia are more alike and so they try to “keep the peace” with Michelle and Sasha for self-preservation.
If you think that inside look into the Obama family dynamic is interesting, you should watch the interview in its entirety. The 25-minute deep dive is loaded with interesting anecdotes, like the Obama’s getting mobbed at the zoo, the alias his daughters devised for him, and other more pressing issues, like the recent election, Barack and Joe Biden’s relationship, the Affordable Care Act, removing Trump from office (Barack may or may not have suggested using the Navy Seals to remove him from the White House), and of course, that glorious dunk on the campaign trail where he landed a three-pointer then hollered, “That’s what I do!”
Naturally, that catchphrase is now the headline gracing the cover of InStyle magazine in which Obama appears as the main story. Of course, they would be remiss if they didn’t dunk a few more times on current POTUS Donald Trump. When Jimmy noted that A Promised Land is over 700 pages long, he asked, "Did you make it that long to make sure Trump never reads it?"
"I don't think it would have had to be 700 pages," Barack quipped.
Swish! That’s what he do!
The interview ends on a positive note, with Obama surprising a fan named Joyce from Maryland via video-chat who began to cry and shake uncontrollably as Barack thanked her for her support and offered to send her a signed copy of his book. So overwhelmed, she barely said a word.
“We're not getting a lot out of Joyce in terms of words!” Barack laughed, as Jimmy dubbed her “re-joyce.”Frankly, put us in the same situation, and we’d be speechless as well.
