Billy Eichner had two huge guests appear on his Funny or Die series, Billy on the Street, this week: Big Bird and the FLOTUS herself, Michelle Obama. Time talked with Eichner about how he landed one of the most influential women in the nation as one of his contestants and how she was game for anything in a recent interview.

“When she got there, one of the first things she said to me was, ‘I really don’t have any idea what you’re going to ask me.’ She was told that was the best way to do it, and she just went for it. She was game,” Eichner told Time.

The First Lady participated in this special edition of the show to raise awareness for her Eat Brighter! initiative, in order to present the information in an “entertaining” but “educational” way.
