When asked for her thoughts on Obama's acting skills during an appearance on Today, Cosgrove said: "She's really good. She's really funny in real life so I think that's why she has good comic timing."

As for what the set was like during Obama's appearance, she said: "It's pretty crazy because there are Secret Service everywhere. They came about two weeks before and there was so much preparation.

"She was just really nice. She came to the set and was so easy to talk to. She loved fashion and dancing, so we got to dance in the episode."
