First Lady Michelle Obama Hams It Up With David Letterman

It didn’t take Michelle Obama long to trade in the serious political talk from the night before at the Democratic Convention for a few good laughs.

Roughly 24 hours after delivering a well-received personal testimony in Charlotte, N.C. exalting the achievements of her husband and her own personal story, the nation’s First Lady appeared on Wednesday’s “Late Show with David Letterman” in the hopes of winning of more convention viewers and possible supporters of her husband, President Barack Obama.

Mrs. Obama’s fourth appearance on the popular late-night show saw her tasked with delivering the “Top Ten Reasons to Watch the Democratic National Convention.”

Among them, she says:

No. 6: “As a healthy alternative, we’re using low-fat confetti.”

No. 5: “If you were appearing at a national political convention, I’d watch.”

No. 4: “There will be no Kiss Cam,” a reference to the awkward “Kiss Cam” moment FLOTUS shared in July with the President at a Team USA men’s basketball game in Washington, D.C.

According to the First Lady, the number one reason to watch is, “At long last, I’ll reveal who I’m voting for.”

Mrs. Obama’s prior opportunity to sit as the guest of the funny CBS host came a week earlier, when she sat down with Letterman to discuss politics. She admitted to not watching the Republican Convention going on at the time in Tampa, but encouraged others to do so.

Mrs. Obama also appeared on the show in June, presenting the iconic Top 10 list for “Fun Facts About Gardening.”

The nationally televised appearance came at a time when she was hawking her book about the White House kitchen garden.

Her No. 1 gardening tip: “With enough care and effort you can grow your own Barack-oli.”

More than 26.2 million people watched the opening prime-time coverage of the DNC in Charlotte, N.C., on Tuesday, according to the Nielsen Co.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
