Comedian and former late night host Conan O’Brien visited the White House on Friday to interview President Biden for his podcast.

O’Brien was spotted in the briefing room and briefly spoke to a few reporters in the room. SiriusXM later confirmed O’Brien was there to interview Biden for his podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.”

The interview will be available Wednesday.

“They won’t let me take questions, but boy do I have the answers to everything,” O’Brien joked during his brief stop in the briefing room.

O’Brien is best known for hosting “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” on NBC and for his eponymous late night show on TBS, which ended in 2021. He has interviewed various celebrities for his podcast, launched in 2018.

Biden has done several podcast interviews since taking office, including most recently sitting down with CNN host Anderson Cooper for a conversation about grief.
