Scandal Season 3 Premiere Gained 10.5 Million Views And A Fan Out Of Nick Cannon, But Actress Kerry Washington Doubts President Obama Was Watching


Follow @ZeeMeekPeek

While Kerry Washington revealed that Nick Cannon became a new fan of "Scandal" after the Season 3 premiere, the actress wasn't so sure if the real President was tuning in.

Kerry informed Shaun Robinson at Variety's 2013 Power of Women event in Beverly Hill on Friday that during the Thursday night premiere Cannon's wife Mariah Carey tweeted her to say she made her husband a fan.

"Mariah Carey tweeted last night that she converted Nick Cannon! Nick Cannon is now a Gladiator!" Kerry said with laughter.

Although the "America's Got Talent" host is allegedly hooked on the political show, it still remains a mystery whether the Commander and Chief is a "Scandal" Gladiator. Kerry suggested President Obama is too busy being the leader of the free world to set aside time to watch her show.

"I do know that there are a lot of people at the White House who are watching ['Scandal'] but I do think President Obama has a lot more things on his plate right now with the government shutdown and the Affordable Care Act," she said. "But maybe it's on his TiVo."

The night of the "Scandal" premiere, Kerry managed to damage her fingers after live tweeting the loyal viewers.

"My fingers actually hurt from the Tweetathon yesterday," said Kerry. ""I was in the air - I was Tweeting from above the clouds because I was in New York promoting the season premiere, but I had to get back for this event, so I was above the clouds Tweeting our Gladiators!"

The "Scandal" Season 3 premiere actually earned a gigantic 10.5 million views.
