Big Bird, Michelle Obama and Billy Eichner (FLOTUS)
Guess Barack Obama isn’t the only member of the First Family to have a Funny or Die video: First Lady Michelle Obama is the star—alongside Big Bird—in a new Billy Eichner video. And, yes, Billy does do his signature SCREAMING.
The First Lady is promoting the “Eat Brighter” partnership between Sesame Street and Big Produce (the Produce Marketing Association) to inspire parents and kids to eat fruits and vegetables. Naturally, one of the games Billy plays is “Ariana Grande or a carrot?” He also has the First Lady push him around in a shopping cart while he reads Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar acceptance speech.
The third contestant is popular Billy on the Street regular, Elena, who is an Obama fan. Elena, who had no idea she was meeting the First Lady, proclaimed this day the best day of her life, after she repeatedly asked if FLOTUS was actually an actress.
Big Bird has been Tweeting about his exciting time with FLOTUS and Billy to his dear Mr. Snuffleupagus.

Anyway, Big Bird and Billy will be on Reddit later, as we discovered while they discussed their favorite fruits:
Kiwis are furry, @BillyEichner! They’d fit right in on Sesame Street. Hey, you should visit me here one day!
