BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Michelle Obama, wife of U.S. President Barack Obama, said during an appearance on "The Jay Leno Show," she can't stand losing to her husband in tennis.

Appearing on the NBC prime time talk show via satellite from the White House Friday, the first lady tabbed her husband's ability to routinely defeat her in tennis as his most annoying habit, People.com reported.

"When he beats me at tennis," Michelle Obama said, "that gets to be pretty annoying and he beats me quite often!"

Obama also joked with Leno that her husband would struggle if asked to pick world peace over a World Series pennant for his beloved Chicago White Sox, People magazine said.

The first lady was also able to name all of the children on "The Brady Bunch" during a random trivia quiz given by Leno and showed off an eclectic love of music when asked about her iPod play list.

"I have a pretty eclectic iPod distribution, I've got, oh, I've got Sting, I've got Stevie Wonder, my favorite," she told Leno. "I've got some Sara Bareilles, I've got, ooh, some Robin Thicke, some Mary J. Blige. Ooh, I got it all. Some Herbie Hancock."
