How Has President Obama Found Post-White House Life?

James Corden welcomes 44th President of the United States Barack Obama to the show, and the two recall some of First Lady Michelle Obama's past adventures on the show. After, James asks the former president about what his life has been after his second term ended and what sense he gets from young people and how they feel about public service. And the "Promised Land" admits he hasn't made his famous chili in nearly 20 years - he's been a little busy for the kitchen.

I love how he puts it so down to earth "are we going to have wierd kids"

[maryerichardson]

Kindness is not overrated! Thank you, Mr. President.

[zencraft]

Can we take a moment to recognize the former President's comedic chops? His timing is superb.

[graciec.]

"Music concert" is the most Dad thing I've heard the former President say

[andrejackson]

Obama definitely looks more relaxed here than prior years. Glad he’s chilling 🤗

[ChrisAlbertH]

The way Obama describes raising his kids in spite of them having people who serve them in their daily lives shows that he wants his children to be grounded. I imagine the previous guy did not instill any such values in his kids, given how entitled and douchy most of them seem to be.

[PETERGRlFFlN]

He looked younger and healthier now compared to when he was president

[duhitamahanta]

The interview was supposed to be about him and his book and he ends up talking mostly about Michelle and his kids. There's a reason why this man is loved by so many. ♥️

2:53..."I have more time to read"...
Can't imagine his successor picking up a book (any book) unless is a book about himself to sell it.

[julieschwartz]

I love that man and his family, total class and intelligence all the way. Glad to see him looking so relaxed and happy.

[TheLettybird]

Such a kind, clever, funny man. I wanna try that Chilli.

[shubhampanthri]

He is the only and will remain as The only American President who got love from the global community 🤩🤩

[expatron]

Just finished the book, one word, incredible. And I'm a Republican.

[wm.j.chapmanjr.]

I cannot verbalize my appreciation and respect I hold for this man. Truly a wonderful human being.

[Jacky_]

I'm not even American yet I miss seeing him as the president

[rocksand]

“I clear every appearance with [Michelle]”

“Michelle thinks I’m cuter now, more sexy now”

They are couple goals 🤩

[SharonLaRoseSongwriter]

I MISS Carpool karaoke segments 🎤 🎶. James Michelle & Missy episode is Gold ✨✨ one of my favorites. I enjoyed this interview so much !!

[gondola]

"You guys haven't done anything!" A speech every powerful or wealthy person must give to their children, if they care one ounce about them.

[suebooa]

So glad to see Obama’s again with his smile and the natural flow of banter with James!

[JasonGafar]

There are so many things I admired about Obama, but what I loved about him most was his empathy. He always struck me as a very sincere person who genuinely had a very good heart.
