In rare, personally revealing moment, President Obama admitted that his daughter is a huge fan of NBC comedy Parks and Recreation and its co-star, comedian Aziz Ansari. Obama spoke about Malia at a fundraiser at ABC Kitchen in New York City, where Ansari was in attendance. Huffington Post reports:

WATCH THE CLIP OF OBAMA TEASING AZIZ ANSARI HERE:

We know that President Barack Obama is a huge fan of Showtime’s breakout hit “Homeland,” but it looks like his 13-year-old daughter Malia is huge fan of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.”

“Aziz Ansari… now this is big because Malia is a big ‘Parks and Recreation’ fan,” the President said at a fundraiser Thursday night at ABC Kitchen in New York City. “So having Aziz here is like the only thing she thinks is worth me doing. I want to thank him for what he said earlier. I know he’s backstage, but I just want to say that I have more Twitter followers than you, man.”

Malia may be able to watch Ansari bring the funny on “Parks and Rec,” but there is one show that the President makes sure his daughters stay away from — “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
