Why Does Michelle Obama Say Famous People Look Untouched?

Michelle Obama tells Conan O'Brien that famous people look untouched by hardship because they are taught to hide it. She walks him from a second-floor apartment on Euclid Avenue on the South Side of Chicago to the White House, and through the 1970s shows she loved: Mary Tyler Moore, who had a job and a voice and did not go home to cook, Carol Burnett, and Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show, who wore pants, danced, and was as funny as Dick Van Dyke. They pretend they were supposed to be there. She calls that faking an untouchable, already-finished self, and says it cheats kids who need to see the stumbles so they do not quit.
