With two Olympic gold medals to show for her recent stint at the London Games, Gabby Douglas was a guest last night on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.’

In a smooth move by the White House and NBC, joining her on Jay Leno‘s couch was First Lady Michelle Obama.

Douglas told the show host that she already has her sights set on the 2016 Rio Games where she hopes to compete on the U.S. gymnastics team for another shot at gold.

The 16-year-old also won the much-coveted All-Around competition.

The uber-athlete talked about eating a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin as a reward for her Olympics successes, a departure from the strict diet that she normally follows as part of her rigorous training regimen.

Healthy diet advocate Obama teased, “You’re setting me back, Gabby.” Douglas shrugged and offered up a good-natured response, “Sorry!”

Leno asked if winning gold was everything she had dreamed. She responded, “I think it’s very different and when I say ‘different,’ it’s in a better way. I never thought I would be doing the show with the First Lady… or even you, Jay.”
