The Former First Lady caught Ellen up on what her family has been up to during quarantine.

Aside from the small talk about her personal life, Ellen also asks the 57-year-old how she felt about  President Joe Biden ’s inauguration, what the experience was like, and how she feels about the new president’s leadership.

Of course, one of the main reasons why Michelle is doing a press tour is to promote her new Netflix series, “Waffles + Mochi,” which people are calling the Sesame Street of food TV. “Waffles + Mochi” is a kids’ show about food from the Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions. The show is available today on Netflix.

Aside from chatting about her new show, the former First Lady also discussed with Ellen her Pass the Love campaign with Partnership for a Healthier America which is about raising funds to distribute 1 million meals to families in need across the country, according to a press release.
