President Obama Joining 'Black-ish' Cast? Anthony Anderson Pitching for POTUS Cameo Appearance

President Obama could join the Black-ish cast in the future, as Anthony Anderson is pitching hard for POTUS to come on the popular series. The 45-year-old actor revealed in a recent interview that he really wants Obama to appear on the ABC show, since he knows that both him and the First Lady watch it in their downtime.

Speaking with E! News recently, Anderson said that he is in talks to get Obama to come on the show.

"We're petitioning to get Pres. Obama on the show. They watch the show. They love it. We know them so we've been dealing with them and their people and hopefully they'll say yes,” he told the outlet at the 2015 Emmy Awards.

In the past, Anderson was “shocked” by the news when finding out that the presidential family watched the show that he stars in, along with Tracee Ellis Ross.

"I was at the White House about a month ago and met the president and First Lady, and the first thing out of their mouths was, 'We love Black-ish.' So that came as a shock,” he told the New York Times.

As far as how well the petition to get the President and the First Lady on the show is going, it looks like for now, it’s slow moving.

“They haven’t returned any of the petitions, or the calls, or the letters or the emails. I think I’m banned from going to Washington D.C., now. Not just the White House. They’re keeping me out of the District of Columbia,” Anderson revealed to Good Morning America this week.

The second season of Black-ish premieres later tonight at 9:30 p.m. on ABC, where the cast addresses the n-word in the very first episode. “We took it on,” he explained. “We really wanted to do it last year but because we were a new show and that was basically low-hanging fruit, we pushed it back to our first episode this year,” he explained on the show.
