Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis' portrayal of Michelle Obama is seen in the first trailer for a new TV drama.

First Lady, which will air later this year, will explore the lives of the women married to three US presidents.

The 10-part series will also star Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt.

It is described as a "revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House".

Trailer...

[RandFan]

I'm sure this will be fascinating... /s

[Jane Long]

Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo just had a good laugh, mocking it.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

From even a woke perspective, Hollywood needs to give more black actresses a chance other than Ms. Davis. She seems to have a monopoly on all the major awards-buzzy parts.

[ClearCase_guy]

I still think there is a chance that either Michelle or Hillary will be president. Hillary is having a little legal trouble, and Michelle is getting the big Hollywood movie treatment. I see which way the wind is blowing.

The trannys will be upset they didn’t use one of them for the role. Something about inauthenticity.

An ad for this came up on YT earlier today. It looks pretty awful.

[mass55th]

They gonna’ put her on stilts?

[lee martell]

Viola has got Michelle’s “Damn! I just swallowed a lemon!”
look down pat.

The first First Lady who was not a lady:

[dforest]

A vomit inducing show. Awful before ever aired.

[GaryCrow]

I wonder if they had her wear a codpiece for authenticity.

[NWFree]

Is that a double wide trailer? 🤪

[Chode]

what an insult comparing Viola wi Mike...

was Mad Maxine not considered???

[EEGator]

She’s the new Angela Bassett.

[bigbob]

I only came to see Gilligan Anderson

[quantim]

Couldn't stand that arrogant *CENSORED* then and can't stand Mooch these days.  Shameless plug:

First was 'Tourist Guy' followed by 'Looter Guy' and now introducing: 'Vacation Gal!'

'Vacation Gal' Part II (There she goes again!)

Vacation Gal, Part III. Detroit to India and some places in between!

[Mears]

Gilligan ?

.

[fieldmarshaldj]

All this for an effing tranny ?

[Blood of Tyrants]

It would have been LaWanda Page, who played Aunt Ester on Sandford and Son is dead.

[Bratch]

Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo just had a good laugh, mocking it.

Per Mr. Arroyo, it's about a dyke, a drunk, and a deity.
