Michelle Obama’s book tour is giving her the perfect opportunity to let loose and say all the things she never could while living in the White House.

In her new book Becoming, Michelle opens up about everything from smoking weed to her marital problems with Barack. But during her stop by Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, the host came with saucy prompts for the former First Lady to read.

“You remember Mrs. Obama? From when we had a United States?” Kimmel opened the show. “Our former First Lady is here to share stories from her new autobiography, Becoming. As in, ‘What the hell is this country becoming?’”

Maybe they’re true, maybe they’re not, but it’s certainly funny to watch Obama say whatever she goddamn wants without repercussions. “The whole eight years we were in the White House we used Laura Bush’s Netflix password,” she read to the audience. Also: “I’m not sure which one is Sasha and which one is Malia.”

The series of confessions ends with Michelle admitting, naturally, that George Clooney is her “freebie.”

Elsewhere in the interview we also learned that Barack Obama is currently working on his own book about his time in the White House, and that his desk is extremely messy. Watch the entire interview in the clip above.
