Variety reports that Michelle Obama is set to guest on the debut week of NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". The First Lady will make her appearance on Thursday February 20.

This will not be the first time the First Lady has visited with Fallon. Last year, she appeared on a special LATE NIGHT segment called the "Evolution of Mom Dancing" to promote her Let's Move campaign for physical fitness.

Watch the appearance below:

Jay Leno will take his final bow as host of NBC's THE TONIGHT SHOW on February 6, 2014. Jimmy Fallon will take over the reins of the long running late night talk show on February 17th and will move the show to 30 Rock in New York. Leno will have hosted THE TONIGHT SHOW for 22 years when he steps down.

As part of the transition, THE TONIGHT SHOW will be executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Lorne Michaels ("Saturday Night Live," "30 Rock").

Backed by the house band the Roots, Fallon has interviewed and performed with some of the top names in entertainment and politics on LATE NIGHT WITH Jimmy Fallon, including First Lady Michelle Obama, Tom Cruise, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake. His comedic sketches have often become viral video phenomenons. The "Late Night" parodies of such shows as "Breaking Bad," "Game of Thrones," "The Real Housewives" franchise, "Jersey Shore" and "Downton Abbey" have been seen by millions around the world.
