Stiller explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that Keanu Reeves' role narrating Lumon’s puppet propaganda video was originally intended for the former president. "There was one person that I asked before (Reeves), and he said no: President Barack Obama." Stiller said he sent the offer to Obama via a friend who knows Obama’s lawyer. So, Stiller composed an email to him describing the request, and “two days later, I get an email back from President Barack Obama: ;Hey Ben, big fan of the show, love Season 1, can’t wait for Season 2. Don’t think I have time in my schedule to make this happen.'"
