David Spade told TMZ that he thought the President was coming off a little “thirsty” for attention because of how much he and his wife appear on reality TV. Spade said “What president is doing reality shows…I thought a president should have a little more dignity [than that].” Spade specifically referenced Obama’s appearance on the Bear Grylls show and being in GQ, and called it “too much”. President Obama has in fact made a point of showing up in unexpected, places which may seem unpresidential to some.

In addition to appearing on the more traditional talk shows, Obama has also appeared on Between Two Ferns, WTF with Marc Maron and the upcoming season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

No comment on what the Obama’s think of Spade’s appearance in Joe Dirt 2.
