In the nearly six years that Marc Maron has hosted his popular podcast, WTF With Marc Maron, the self-deprecating comedian has interviewed hundreds of celebrated stand-ups and entertainers, including Louis C.K., Bob Newhart, Lena Dunham and Amy Poehler.
But on Friday, reports the NY Times, Maron interviewed an altogether different guest who, while highly coveted, is not immediately known for his snappy observations on the absurdities of everyday life: President Obama.
Mr. Obama visited Mr. Maron’s studio in his home garage for about an hour during a visit to Los Angeles, for a podcast posted on Monday. Click Here for audio.
Marson told the NY Time that security was no simple process. According Marson, "Secret Service checked the parameters. Thursday, they put a tent up that ran the length of my driveway, all the way behind my house to the garage. Today they came and put a tent over where the car was going to pull in. There were like 40 Secret Service people here. There were snipers on my neighbor’s roof. A sniper on my garage roof. They had L.A.P.D. all around the perimeter of the house. They have a protocol that occurs. And it was occurring in my house. Now everyone in the world knows where I live, O.K. And apparently the streets were lined with people for the motorcade. I was focusing on just dealing with the situation at hand and trying to have a personal conversation with the president in the midst of this."
