YouTube Star GloZell Green Accidentally Called Out Obama’s ‘First Wife’
Published at
YouTube(WASHINGTON) — YouTube sensation GloZell Green is known for her sharp tongue and quick wit, but on Thursday she found herself a bit tongue-tied.
The comedian was almost through her hard-hitting White House interview with President Obama when she had an accidental slip.
“My momma says whenever you go to somebody’s house you have to give them something. Don’t come empty-handed,” she said, after asking the president about race relations, Cuba and cybersecurity.
She then proceeded to pull out three tubes of her signature green glitter lipstick.
“One for your first wife…” she said, as she handed them over.
“My first wife!?” Obama exclaimed. “Do you know something I don’t?”
“Ooh, for the first lady!” GloZell corrected herself, her hands on her head. “…and the first children.”
“I’m sorry,” she said again and again.
“Oh, I’m teasing,” Obama said playfully.

Earlier in the day, GloZell had posted to Instagram that she was “taking” napkins or paper hand towels with the White House seal from a bathroom.
Obama was also interviewed by YouTube content creators Bethany Mota and Hank Green on Thursday. The event was part of the administration’s attempt to “reach folks we don’t usually get to talk to.”
The White House called Green “one of the main voices in YouTube’s vibrant education community” citing his videos on topics including science, the environment and public events.” In the same press release, Mota was described as “an iconic young millenial creator.”
