Barack & Michelle Obama in Talks to Produce Netflix Shows

Barack and Michelle Obama – former president and first lady of the U.S. – are in talks to produce and possibly host shows for Netflix. As hard as it may be to believe sometimes, time really does fly, and it’s been over a year since the Obama family vacated the White House. Since the exit of Barack Obama as commander-in-chief – and the subsequent ascendancy of Donald Trump to that same job – the Obamas have been fairly quiet on the public stage, seemingly choosing to stay out of the fray. This is fairly common for former presidents and first families to do, so as to let the new administration govern without direct opposition from the previous one.

It looks like the Obamas have reached the point where they think they should return to the spotlight though, which is of course sure to annoy their detractors. On the other hand, Barack and Michelle both remain very popular personally, and there are surely many people eager to see them weigh in on current events. That said, it seems fair to say that very few would have expected the Obamas to get into the TV business.

According to The New York Times though, that’s exactly what the former POTUS and FLOTUS plan to do. Both Barack and Michelle are reportedly in talks with Netflix to produce and potentially host original shows for the streaming giant. While a deal is not yet finalized, negotiations between the Obamas and Netflix are said to be in the advanced stages.

Contrary to what one might expect in these politically charged and divided times, the programs potentially coming from a deal with the Obamas are not planned to be direct responses to the Trump administration or to Republican critics of the former president and his family. Instead, Barack and Michelle want to highlight inspirational stories, and create programming designed to uplift viewers. That may not be quite the pointed political content that some of the Obamas’ more dedicated supporters would prefer, but it would at least create a large platform that could potentially be used to speak directly to the American people about important topics.

Those who would prefer to see the Obamas discuss political subjects likely won’t be entirely disappointed at least, as another proposed show idea would see Barack and/or Michelle moderating panel discussions about issues that are near and dear to them, or were important to the Obama presidency. Such topics would likely include health care, voting rights, immigration, foreign policy, climate change, and nutrition. It’s currently unknown what the former president and first lady stand to be paid if a deal with Netflix goes through, but Apple and Amazon have also reportedly expressed interest in courting the former first couple to create content.

Norm Macdonald Sets Netflix Talk Show

Nearly a year after lamenting to David Letterman that there were too many nightly talk shows, Norm Macdonald is getting one of his own.

Netflix has ordered 10 episodes of Norm Macdonald Has a Show, which marks the streaming giant’s latest unscripted entry. Letterman, who has his own Netflix talk show, will serve as a creative partner — or, as he jokingly refers to his role in the press release, a "location scout" — on the series.

The Canadian comedian will host Norm Macdonald Has a Show alongside his trusty sidekick, Adam Eget. The pair will invite one celebrity guest on in each episode. The talk show will, per Netflix, “deliver great and unexpected conversation, jokes and a behind-the-scenes look at Norm's world."

Macdonald has been hosting his own weekly podcast called Norm Macdonald Live, on which former Late Show with David Letterman producer Daniel Kellison acts as executive producer. The actor-writer acknowledged in January that the show had attracted the attention of a the streaming service.

Norm Macdonald Has a Show is produced under Macdonald's production banner Anchor Spud Productions, along with Pygmy Wolf Productions and Lionsgate Television. Macdonald will serve as an executive producer and co-showrunner on the project, as will Lori Jo Hoekstra. Other exec producers include Daniel Kellison and K.P. Anderson, the latter of whom already executive produces Netflix's The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale.

Netflix has been aggressively pushing into the talk space of late. The streamer has followed up Chelsea Handler's short-lived Chelsea with talk entries from Letterman (My Next Guest Needs No Introduction) and Joel McHale (The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale), along with forthcoming series from Daily Show breakouts Michelle Wolf and Hasan Minhaj.

Macdonald is a longtime comic who formerly served as a "Weekend Update" anchor on Saturday Night Live for three of his five years on the NBC staple, before eventually becoming a judge on Last Comic Standing. He is also a veteran of the Roseanne writers room, and wrote on the show's revival, as well.

With trusted - but hapless - cameraman and friend Don (Danny McBride) in tow, Buck sets out for what soon becomes an unexpectedly epic adventure of father-son reconnection in the great outdoors. The comedy from "Eastbound and Down" director Jody Hill premieres March 10th at SxSW and will launch on Netflix July 6, 2018.
