She will appear on the NBC late-night show on Thursday March 18 to promote her upcoming Netflix kids show Waffles and Mochi.

Obama, who will appear virtually, has appeared regularly on The Tonight Show, starting with appearances under former host Jay Leno and then under Fallon. She has performed sketches with the likes of Will Ferrell, showcased the Evolution of Mom Dancing and did a game of Catchphrase, competing against Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld.
