JIMMY FALLON MONOLOGUE 2.22.13

Welcome to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! We have First Lady Michelle Obama on the show tonight! I plan to ask her some serious questions, like, "Do you think that I could pull off bangs?"

That’s right, Michelle Obama is here! Everyone at the White House is excited – in fact, I heard they’re even letting Biden stay up to watch. (Isn’t that nice?)

With the First Lady here today, there’s a lot of additional security around the studio.  On my way in, I was grabbed, frisked and groped – then I was like, "Alright, Kathie Lee – enough. I have to get back to work.”

Michelle Obama is actually here tonight to talk about her fitness initiative “Let’s Move.”  Meanwhile, Chris Christie will be on next week to talk about his initiative "Let's Sit."

Get this. A 104-year-old woman is complaining that she can’t put her real age on Facebook because the birthdates only go back as far as 1910. Facebook said it will solve the problem, by either adding the dates...or just waiting it out.

The woman also complained about the new Facebook layout. She was like, "This used to ALL be Farmville!" 

And finally, police in California are investigating a suspicious 911 call that was made from the Playboy Mansion yesterday. But when they got there, Hugh Hefner said, “False alarm – it only lasted three hours.”
