In accepting this year’s Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series, Fleabag‘s Phoebe Waller-Bridge gave a shout-out to a presidential fan who happened to play a role in a naughty Season 1 scene.
“I’d like to thank Obama for putting us on his list,” the Fleabag creator and star said on Sunday night, referring to the former POTUS’ recently released rundown of his favorite films and TV series from 2019. “As some of you may know, he’s always been on mine,” she added with a sly grin.

“If you don’t get that joke, please watch Season 1 of Fleabag really, really quickly,” PWB quickly added.
