In a radio interview on Thursday, the 50-year-old told Ryan Seacrest that she just started watching the political thriller starring Kerry Washington during her last vacation.
'You know what, I hadn’t watched it until this past vacation — and we went to Hawaii so I had a long flight — so I watched all the seasons,' she said. 'I caught up on Scandal.'

So far, ABC has released three seasons of the show, in which Ms Washington plays Olivia Pope, a political fixer who has an ongoing affair with the President.
Undeterred by a storyline based loosely on her own surroundings, Ms Obama said she loves the White House drama, especially because of Ms Washington’s performance.
'I love Kerry Washington. She is amazing, so it makes the show fun,' the First Lady told Mr Seacrest. 'It really does – it was fun to watch.'

Ms Obama's revealtion comes more than a year after the National Enquirer reported that the First Lady had banned Ms Washington from the White House because she was 'too flirty' with the President.
The First Lady was said to have had a 'watch list' of women that were to be kept away from her husband, including Ms Washington -- despite her honorary post on the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.
A White House official told MailOnline that the story is '100 per cent false,' adding that Ms Washington is a keen Democrat and campaigned for Obama in the 2008 president race.
