When President Obama wraps up his time in the Oval Office in January, he's planning to pack his bags and get the heck out of the White House — to a house just two miles down the road.

"I thought you were going to be the kid from high school who never left," Fallon said.
"It is kind of depressing," Obama admitted. "You're like the old guy at the disco. People whispering, 'He's still here?'"
