It got hilariously awkward at the Golden Globes.

“Fleabag” won Best Comedy Series at the awards show, and creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge went up to deliver the acceptance speech, with a special shoutout at the end to Barack Obama, who put the show on his Favourite TV of 2019 list.
“Personally I would like to also thank Obama for putting us on his list,” she said, adding, “As some of you may know, he’s always been on mine.”
Waller-Bridge was referencing the fact that in Season 1 of “Fleabag”, her character pleasures herself to pictures of the former U.S. president.

Late last year, when Obama placed the series on his list, many on Twitter pointed out the awkward connection.
The award was Waller-Bridge’s second of the night, after winning Best Actress in a Comedy earlier in the evening.
