Barack Obama Takes Up Ventriloquism. Oh, Wait, that's Just Really Weird Staging on Ellen's Show.

During the segment, the president took a break from keeping his March Madness bracket updated to talk about tattoos, selfies, and his mom jeans. So, it was pretty much like his appearances on the regular network news shows.
