The premise

Here’s the bit.

In a solemn Oval Office address, the President warns Americans about hazardous letters from evildoers and shows a few of the demands, one of which asks him to stop a certain comic actor from making movies. After vowing to smoke out the culprit, he is interrupted by the First Lady, who realizes he is really furious about a film he paid to see. He rants about wasted time and weak scripts, and she points out that he wrote the note himself. The address ends with the President flailing at her and threatening the actor on live television.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
