President Joe Biden on Monday made his latest late-night TV appearance, surprising audiences during the 10th-anniversary episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers."
In the political sitcom, Poehler's character, Leslie Knope, eventually meets then-Vice President Biden after years of proclaiming her love for him.
In "Parks and Recreation," Poehler's overzealous public servant Knope describes her ideal man as having "the brains of George Clooney and the body of Joe Biden," declares Biden the first and only name on her "celebrity sex list," and stitched a portrait of his face into a "unity quilt" intended to merge her family with that of her husband, Ben Wyatt (played by Adam Scott).
Knope's dreams come true when Wyatt arranges a short meeting with Biden — who appeared twice in cameos on the sitcom — as a wedding present.
The laid-back appearances, which Donald Trump skipped during his tenure, give audiences a more candid view of the politicians than a Sunday news program or press conference offers.
Monday's show isn't the first time this week Biden's charm and virility have made headlines, with an excerpt from the yet-to-be-released book by The New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers featuring a few paragraphs about the 81-year-old's sex life with First Lady Jill Biden.
The original article contains 563 words, the summary contains 209 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I actually went back and watched it, and although he did have a couple dementia moments this appearance went way better than I thought it would. He seemed to have a bit more of his fun, jovial personality back here which I've missed even as someone who isn't aligned with him politically.
"It's about how old your ideas are. Look, I mean, this is a guy who wants to take us back," Biden added. "He wants to take us back on Roe v. Wade."
Is he saying trump wants federal abortion protections reinstated?
Or did Biden forget we already lost Roe vs Wade during his presidency?
And wasn't Biden literally just talking about how he wants to take politics back to when he and Strom Thurmond could still be great friends even though they're in different parties?
Anyone have a link the the full clip? It's not in the article, not on Seth's YouTube channel for the show, and I don't have Peacock.
