President Barack Obama's TV diet includes sports, Hannah Montana and — above all else — Vincent Chase.

Entourage is Obama's favorite TV show, Politico reports. Lest we forget, that show's Ari Gold was inspired by real-life agent Ari Emanuel, the brother of Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.So how much does Obama like
Entourage? Well, he prioritized it over his campaign duties.
"[W]e would have these Sunday night calls at the same time as
Entourage," press secretary Robert Gibbs said. "I remember one time I e-mailed him because the call was scheduled for the last 15 minutes of
Entourage and I said, 'Just be late and we can just watch
Entourage and still get on and do the call. And it worked. We got to see
Entourage."
The commander-in-chief was also a fan of HBO's underappreciated and now-defunct
The Wire. Last year, he named Omar, a gay drug dealer, as his favorite character because he's "fascinating."
