Gabby Douglas teased by First Lady for eating McDonalds on NBC’s Tonight Show


(PCM) The Olympic All-Around Gymnastics Gold Medalist celebrated her victory with fast food which she happened to admit to the wrong person. On NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno, First Lady and healthy eating advocate said “You’re setting me back, Gabby,”. Gabby replied “Sorry!” after confessing to chowing down on a McDonalds’ breakfast sandwich after winning two  gold medals at the just-ended London Olympics.


Gabby is the first African-American and the third consecutive American to win the All-Around Gold. She also helped her teammates give America their first team gold since the Magnificent Seven in 1996. On the tonight show Gabby looked like a winner. She was dressed in a gold metallic skirt and a  fitted, black motorcycle jacket. Her hair, worn in a utilitarian bun during the  Olympics, was gathered in a chic ponytail. But most importantly, she sported her two gold medals.


Upon coming on set, she gave a gold medal to Obama and one to Lenon for inspection.  “I don’t even deserve to hold this,” Leno said later as he returned it. Jay Leno wanted to know if the dream of winning matched or differed from reality.

“I think it’s very different,  and when I mean ‘different,’ it’s in a better way,” Douglas replied. “I mean, I  never thought I would be doing the show with the first lady, or even  you, Jay.” Leno started to reply, when Mrs.  Obama jumped in. “Even you too, Jay!”  she said.

They also talked about the possibility of Rio and when asked if she intended to compete she replied “Oh, definitely”.

Leno also took the opportunity to ask Michelle Obama about the Kiss Cam at the basketball game.  Last month, she and President Barack Obama were at a U.S. Olympic men’s  basketball team exhibition game in Washington when the arena’s “Kiss Cam” panned  to them. She appeared to shake her head “no” to a smooch. But, Michelle said that isn’t what happened. She had just walked to their seat and saw her face on the jumbotron but missed the kiss cam part. Their 13-year-old daughter was very dissappointed in them and made sure to get the kiss cam back to set it straight. And when on camera, the president gave her a nice smooch on the lips, followed by a kiss on the forehead for good measure.
