During an interview with actress Tika Sumpter in 9 a.m. ET hour of Monday’s NBC Today about her role in a new biopic about the first date of Barack and Michelle Obama, co-host Al Roker eagerly wondered if the First Couple had seen the movie yet: “Have you heard at all from the Obamas?”
Sumpter replied: “We haven't, not yet. I mean, I know they know about it. John Legend’s an executive producer and he does a lot of initiatives with them and he told the President, ‘I produced this movie that you might want to see.’ And they were like, ‘Yeah, we keep seeing reviews.’”
