Michelle Obama co-hosted and co-danced on ‘Ellen'

Someone please get FLOTUS her own show!

The only thing better than Michelle Obama stopping by The Ellen DeGeneres for a quick visit is a full-on host takeover by the First Lady.

The FLOTUS tackled the role of the show's first co-host Monday and helped Ellen dance through the aisles with excited audience members, interview Stephen Curry and Bradley Cooper, and play some water games.

Obama opened up about how she was feeling as she prepared to leave the White House, and the tough challenge Sasha and Malia might face when it comes time to move on.

"We just want to keep creating some memories for them," Obama said, referencing the First Family's last moments in the home.

"They really managed this so well. The big thing I always worried about was making sure that they got out of this whole. I’m just proud that they are poised, smart, intelligent young women," she said.

But it wasn't all serious. Cooper surprised the audience with a visit. He taught the two hosts how to take a proper selfie before opening up about his experience at the White House.

Curry also came on to speak about "Drink Up," an initiative with the First Lady and Brita to encourage families to drink more water. Obama gave Curry trash talk tips to use the next time he golfed with the president, and the three played a water-balloon game that left Curry soaking wet.

The two made quite the dynamic duo, but with co-hosting skills like these, we can only hope that the day she gets her own show will come sooner than later.
