The last segment of the Mario Lopez-Barack Obama interview aired on Extra Friday and, after pulling ourselves out of a sugar/pumpkin/alcohol haze, we finally got around to loading it up to the internet. As promised, in this final episode, Mario asks Barack about wife Michelle Obama’s adorable nickname for him, “Pumpski.” Barack says she just made it up and that it probably evolved from Pumpkin, but we know it comes from their terrorist fist-pumping days. Then Mario puts Barack in the Extra lightning round with a rapid fire of Tiger Beat interview questions. Favorite president: Lincoln. Favorite athlete: Mohammad Ali. Smartest person he’s ever met: “My wife.” Someone’s a smart presidential candidate and getting laid tonight. The full interview is after the jump.

Why did I ever go to journalism school? I should have just been on Saved by the Bell.
