NEW YORK — President Barack Obama made an appearance Thursday on ABC's The View, where the wide-ranging interview even dipped into his knowledge of pop culture.
Quizzed by Joy Behar in a "lightening" round, Obama was asked if he knew about actress Lindsay Lohan being in jail. "I actually know that, yes," he responded.
As for the Jersey Shore crew, the President apparently needs to catch up on the fist-pumping stars.
"Should Snooki run as mayor of Wasilla?" Behar asked.
"I gotta admit, I don't know who Snooki is," responded a stumped Obama.
Obama also avoided a question about whether actor Mel Gibson should go to anger management classes, joking that he'd rather discuss the war in Afghanistan.
Obama's interview with The View was the first appearance on a daytime talk show by a sitting president.
