James Corden‘s White House tour takes an unthinkable turn when First Lady Michelle Obama joins him for a drive around the grounds singing Stevie Wonder and Beyonce in Michelle Obama Carpool Karaoke.
Surprise guest Missy Elliott drops in to sing “This Is For My Girls.” alongside Michelle Obama & James Corden in his very hot and popular ongoing viral segment, Michelle Obama Carpool Karaoke.
In this gossip and he-said/she-said news infused week full of political propaganda, here’s messaging done delightfully different to the masses gone viral.
This video of Michelle Obama Carpool Karaoke can and should be shared generously with all your family and friends right to your own living room.
In this Michelle Obama Carpool Karaoke, a segment for James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke” series that aired last night, Michelle Obama told the late-night host that this was one of the only times she’s been near the steering wheel of an automobile since arriving at the White House:
“I’ve been in a car maybe months ago with my daughter who learned to drive, and we rocked out with her. But that was the only time in seven and a half years that I’ve been in the passenger seat, listening to music, rocking out like this.”
The exchange also provides a near metaphor for what Michelle Obama has done with this instantly viral Late Late Show video segment. She’s technically in the passenger seat, but really, she’s driving the car.
Watch Michelle Obama Carpool Karaoke make history and be a possible first for all future first lady’s of the white house.
