Seinfeld said that President Barack Obama was game even before the show reached out to him.

"My producer called someone on the White House staff, and they said they'd been wanting to get in touch with us because they were interested in him doing the show," Seinfeld said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I really didn't believe it was going to happen."

The comedian even found that Obama was game for one of his top ideas for the episode. Seinfeld recalled:

"I think it's funny that [Trump] likes to end sentences with, 'Believe me,' which is really asking a lot when you say something crazy," the comedian said. "But I only would have a guest on if they can make me feel funny, too, and I'm not sure if he makes me feel funny or just... weird."
