Bee spoke to the President in a Halloween-themed interview and aptly came as a witch. “That’s not a witch costume,” Obama wisely pointed out. “I’m a woman in television, and I’m over 40, so I’m already in costume,” Bee said. As for Obama’s costume, the President claimed to be “what happens when young people vote.” That was just his first plea to encourage first time voters to head to the polls on Nov. 8\. “Young people have a bigger stake in this election than anybody. I would hope that you would be willing to take about the same amount of time that you spend looking through cat videos on your phone to make sure your [democracy](http://time.com/4416971/samana-bee-herman-cain-republican-convention/?iid=sr-link5) is working,” said Obama, noting that issues like gender equality, climate change and college debt could be decided by the next President. Bee noted that sitting down with a “47-year-old mother of three” perhaps wasn’t the best way to get young people to vote. “Have you thought about going on _Antiques Roadshow_?,” joked Bee. She also wanted to know if Obama had considered pausing on his way out of the White House to whisper to [Donald Trump](http://time.com/3966291/donald-trump-insult-generator/?iid=sr-link4) that he really wasn’t born in the USA, reigniting the so-called birther controversy. Obama laughed, but quickly turned serious, saying, “I will be organizing my post-presidency where I’m not close enough to him to whisper in his ear.” As this was Bee’s first exit interview of a President, she wanted to know what he would like to be his legacy, “other than not having everything overturned the day after inauguration,” naturally. That was an easy question for Obama who said, “The thing that I care most about is making sure that there’s a generation of young people who are following me and Michelle.” As a final homage to Halloween, Bee asked Obama to share a spooky story about what happens if people don’t vote. “[Donald Trump](http://time.com/4447985/inside-donald-trump-meltdown/?iid=sr-link7) will be President,” said Obama. “That was very scary,” said Bee. ## Transcript Here at Full Frontal, we have a long tradition, going all the way back to our first season. Where, I sit down and interview the President of the United States, before he or she leaves office. [ LAUGH ] This week, it was President Obama's turn. [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] Thank you so much for joining us for our annual Halloween presidential interview. It is so exciting. This year, I'm going as a witch. That's not a witch costume. I'm a woman on television and I'm over 40. [ LAUGH ] So I'm already in costume, where's yours? I'm dressed up as what happens when Young people vote. [ LAUGHTER ] That song gets really old really fast. That's not it. So is that, like, white spray paint or fun Halloween cobwebs up there? Sam, I'm still President for about 3 months. Careful. Yeah. [ LAUGHTER ] Look Sam, the reason I'm here is not just to celebrate Halloween with you, but is actually because I want to let first time voters know Why it is so important to vote. This is probably the most important election of our life times. The choices could not be clearer and if we want to build on progress, on issues like climate change and gender equality and making sure that everybody has health care and making sure that young people have a good education and can afford college They've gotta make sure that their voices are heard. So you are a father of a college student. I am. Sitting down with a 47- year- old mother of three. If this was your best idea to get young people to vote, what was your worst idea? [ LAUGH ] Have you thought about going on Antiques Roadshow? I haven't, but it turns out that young people actually Are more interested and engaged that I think we give them credit for. Sometimes they get cynical, hard to understand why after watching this campaign. You know, Melia, my oldest, she actually voted for the first time. The pride that she took, I think, in casting her ballot is a pride that I think a lot of young people feel. But you got to talk to them about the things that they care about. Talk to me as though I'm a millennial voter and get me interested in voting. Okay, because it's like I don't even know if there is like any point in voting. Like they're both so totally flawed like don't you even think it's time to like Append the whole system, and just, like, break everything? First of all, if you're worried about whether you can afford to go to college or not, then Hillary Clinton's got a very specific plan, and Donald Trump doesn't. If he cared about climate change, that's not a small thing, so young people have a bigger stake in this election than anybody. I would hope that you'd be willing to take About the same amount of time that you spend just looking through cat videos on your phone. [ LAUGH ] To make sure that the democracy's working. Sorry, I was just Snapchatting myself as a bottle nosed dolphin. [ LAUGH ] If and when Hillary is president, what do you think will be the female equivalent of You weren't born in this country. That's an interesting question. Thank you, I have a lot of those. [ LAUGH ] I think the equivalent will be she's tired, she's moody, she's being emotional. There's just something about here. There's something about her, when men are ambitious, It's just taken for granted. Well of course they should be ambitious, when women are ambitious. Why? That theme, I think will continue throughout her presidency. And it's contributed to this notion that somehow she Is hiding something. What a nasty woman. [ LAUGH ] After you wave off us, have you thought of just whispering in Donald Trump's ear, you were right, I wasn't born here. Just to like [ CROSSTALK ] [ LAUGH ] I think it's pretty [ UNKNOWN ] to [ APPLAUSE ] I will be organizing my post- presidency where I'm not close enough to him to whisper into his ear. [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] That is fair. What would you like your legacy to be? Other than not having everything be overturned the day after inauguration. [ LAUGH ] I feel confident that we can build on the progress we've made around climate change, clean energy, healthcare. Making the economy work better for everybody. All that feels good to me, but the thing that I care most about is making sure that there's a generation of young people who are following me and Michelle. If we can look back 20 years from now and say to ourselves, wow, there are a whole bunch of people who were inspired by what we did and are doing it even better? That will feel pretty good. Probably also first American president to be interviewed by Samantha Bee, I'll put you down for that. That'll be big. That's huge. That's gonna have a prominent place in our library. Seeing as how this is our Halloween interview, can you tell us a spooky story about what happens if people don't vote? Donald Trump could be president. [ LAUGH ] Okay, that was very scary. Yeah. [ LAUGH ] I'm gonna make it even scarier for you. Okay, yeah. [ SOUND ] Supreme Court Justice, Carly Lewandowski. [ LAUGH ] Speaker of the House, Louie Gohmert. [ LAUGH ] That was pretty scary. I'm not sure I'm gonna sleep well tonight. [ LAUGH ] [ UNKNOWN ] Yeah. Can I lean in and give you a big fist bump? Absolutely. What? Boo- ya. Pretty exciting. That was very exciting. [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] We'll be right back. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4552711/president-barack-obama-full-frontal-samantha-bee/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4552711/president-barack-obama-full-frontal-samantha-bee/"},"headline":"President Barack Obama Talks Trump, Clinton and His Legacy on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee","datePublished":"2016-11-01T04:17:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-07T06:52:39.039Z","description":"President Obama told a scary story involving Donald Trump","url":"https://time.com/4552711/president-barack-obama-full-frontal-samantha-bee/","keywords":["Television","politics","President Barack Obama","samantha bee"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35e810907aab2e63/6988ac66a988caa74b6b9f8a/gettyimages-618916490.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35e810907aab2e63/6988ac66a988caa74b6b9f8a/gettyimages-618916490.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Obama campaigns for Hillary in Orlando","caption":"Obama campaigns for Hillary in Orlando","creditText":"Joe Burbank—Orlando Sentinel/TNS/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4552711/president-barack-obama-full-frontal-samantha-bee/","name":"President Barack Obama Talks Trump, Clinton and His Legacy on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"President Barack Obama Talks Trump, Clinton and His Legacy on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee","description":"President Obama stopped by Full Frontal with Samantha Bee on Monday, for his exit interview as President of the United States.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0Pjm0U7j/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-11-01T19:50:23.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0Pjm0U7j.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4552711/president-barack-obama-full-frontal-samantha-bee/","duration":"PT5M30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4552711/president-barack-obama-full-frontal-samantha-bee/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
