But hey, at least it was memorable, right?
Luckily for Kendrick, Obama didn’t take it on the chin.
In the end, Kendrick would describe the short exchange as thecoolest three seconds of her life.
“I was like, ‘[the president] of what?’
And they were like, ‘The country, you idiot.’
Of course, I didn’t [know], cause, why?”
the actress told Stephen Colbert.
“He’s like, ‘You’re the first one here!
And it’s like, cool, good to know I’m the loser of the group.
We got to talking a little bit, and he’s from Maine, and I’m from Maine.
This part’s boring, but it’s a necessary preamble.”
Fortunately, her potty-mouthed retort got her a laugh, not a look of disapproval.
“Then he says, ‘Oh, you’re from Maine.’
And he said, ‘Oh, are people from Maine really punctual?’
I was like, ‘You didn’t know that?
You’re the president.’
So, that was what made him double over with laughter, yay!”
