Oprah Winfrey is no less than a legend herself. But even she had questions about how Mrs. Obama manages to keep both her work and friend circle close. During the special interview, named after her book The Light You Carry, they discussed several topics. Obama recollected how the talk show host once invited her to stay over with her friends. But was skeptical upon learning that she has 12 good friends. “Who has 12 good friends?” Winfrey asked the audience. The author then mimicked the television host about how her only good friend is journalist Gayle King.

The whole clip turned into a mini roast as they adorably made of each other. Oprah Winfrey replied back by stating how the one person who had so much company was Jesus with his disciples. Although Obama replied that she has been collecting her gang of friends throughout her life.
