Malia Obama’s Internship With ‘Girls’ Was a Top-Secret Operation

During her time as the president’s eldest daughter, Malia Obama would make headlines each year for securing enviable internships.

In 2015, Barack Obama’s first-born interned on the set of the HBO show Girls.

Well, no one has really shared what it was like to work with Malia Obama, until now.

Girls actor Andrew Rannells stopped by Andy Cohen’s clubhouse to dish on her interactions with the cast, or lack thereof, while interning for one of the show’s writers.

On Watch What Happens Live!, Rannells, who plays Elijah on the show, said, “Actually, I have to say that secret service was so stealth that it took a while to figure out like where she was at any time.”

He continued, “They really did blend in very sort of seamlessly,” and according to him Malia Obama personally was “super cool and nice.”

Well, now it is confirmed. Malia Obama is perfect, and we can’t wait to see what she will do as Harvey Weinstein’s new intern.
