Barack Obama is on TV more than Jay Leno. And he’s funnier than…well…he’s really not all that funny.
Here’s how Wilshire & Washington describes it:
“The highlight of Stephen Colbert’s first night of shows from Iraq was the surprise taped appearance of President Obama, who ordered Commanding General Ray Odierno to cut the faux news host’s hair.”
“Last week, Obama appeared in a taped segment on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” in which the president deadpanned that the newly installed host would not qualify for a bailout if he failed.”
How can all these TV appearances be explained?
Could it be mere coincidence that the brother of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is Ari Emanuel, the most powerful agent in Hollywood? He was the inspiration for the profane Ari Gold character on HBO’s Entourage. This guy’s Rolodex is immense and he has the power to place any client on any TV show or film merely by making a phone call.
Coming up next season: On NBC, President Obama plays Urkel’s long lost brother on a remake of Family Matters. On ABC, President Obama takes on the role made famous by Mr. T on a remake of the A-Team. It will be called “The USA-Team.” On CBS, President Obama will take over the foundering Evening News from no-longer perky Katie Couric. And on Fox, President Obama will become the fifth judge on American Idol. The format will change so that his vote is the only one that counts.
