Transcript
00:00I don't need that much toilet paper. I'm good. We're good.
00:02Why do you say one thing to me quietly and then act like you didn't say it?
00:06Michelle Obama and Ellen DeGeneres stopped by a Costco for a special book signing.
00:11The former first lady also discussed her daughter's heavily guarded prom send-off,
00:15the legalization of gay marriage, and more when she stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show
00:19on Thursday to promote her new book, Becoming.
00:22In the book, Michelle details her oldest daughter Malia's prom experience.
00:26When Ellen asked her about it, Michelle revealed that three cars with security detail
00:30had to follow Malia and her date to the dance.
00:33And Barack was like, this makes running for a second term all worthwhile.
00:37My daughter is being followed by men with guns to crime.
00:41In the book, Michelle also wrote about the night gay marriage was legalized.
00:45She told Ellen that she and Malia tried to sneak outside to celebrate with the crowd
00:49gathered in front of the White House. After first being stopped by security, Michelle said
00:54they eventually made it outside and stood along with the cheering crowd off to the side
00:58so no one could see them.
01:00The talk show host also shared a special video that gave a look back at the former first lady's
01:04impact on America.
01:05It is our fundamental belief in the power of hope that has allowed us to rise above the voices
01:11of doubt and division, of anger and fear.
01:16The surprise tribute video made Michelle visibly emotional.
01:19And she even joined Ellen in a pre-recorded segment where the two hosted an impromptu
01:24book signing at a Costco.
01:26Ellen used a megaphone to announce to customers that Michelle would be meeting fans
01:30and signing copies of the book.
01:31No surprise, Ellen also did her best to embarrass the former first lady throughout the segment.
01:36Michelle, what did you put in here?
01:38Oh my God.
01:39What?
