Kerry Washington is happy to hear that the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, watches her ABC show Scandal. Although Washington does work with Mrs. Obama at the White House sometimes, she admitted in an interview with Ryan Seacrest that she was too afraid to ask if she watched the show.
Last month, Obama told Seacrest on On Air With Ryan Seacrest that she binge-watched the whole show during a recent trip to Hawaii and loved it.
She said at the time, "I love Kerry Washington. She is amazing, so it makes the show fun,” E! Online reported.
When Washington, who’s currently expecting her first child, called in to the show on Thursday, she said she was “honored.”
"I do a lot of work at the White House and I never wanted to say, 'Hey do you watch my show?' while we are out there doing work in schools, so I've never asked her," she said, E! Online reports. "So it was really fun to hear she watches the show and enjoys it."
Scandal’s third season debuted Thursday night.
