President Obama is already pretty comfortable when it come to television appearances. Aside from his daily appearances on news stations, the POTUS has been featured in shows like “Running Wild With Bear Grylls” and Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” It now appears that when Obama leaves office, he’ll have a spot secured for a role on FOX’s hit show Empire (if he wants it). TMZ photogs caught up with ‘Empire’s’ executive producer Brian Grazer in West Hollywood and asked if he would ever have the President on the show. Grazer admitted he never thought about it before, but he would certainly LOVE to have Obama as part of the cast. What role would he play though? Check out Grazer’s answer below.

Say What?! Eminem Might Appear On Season 2 Of ‘Empire’
Looks like “Rap God” Eminem might have yet another chance to showcase his acting skills. Brian Grazer, the producer for both Empire AND 8 Mile (what a coincidence) says that there is a huge possibility that the Detroit native will appear on the second season of the smash-hit TV series Empire. While making an appearance on Good Morning America, Grazer revealed that Em loves the show and he plans to do whatever it takes to get him to be apart of the cast for the upcoming season. “I’m going to beg him to get on our show. He and Oprah Winfrey. Somehow I’m going to get one or both of them on our show,” Grazer revealed. I wonder what 50 Cent will have to say if Em decides to take the part. Fif is EXTREMELY vocal about his hatred for his arch nemesis (in TV show form,) but I don’t think he’ll cross Eminem if he does give Grazer the green light. Hmmmm. Sound off below and let us know what you think about this potential move for Mr. Mathers.
