Theatergoers just can't get enough of Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland in OH HELLO, and as BWW reported yesterday, the Broadway hit has extended its engagement by one week to Sunday January 22, 2017. This will now be the final chance for audiences to catch Nick Kroll and John Mulaney's inexplicably popular alter egos in their acclaimed Broadway masterpiece.

The show features surprise guests who join Gil and George for their cable-access show, "Too Much Tuna." Recent guests have included Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Alan Alda, F. Murray Abraham, Jason Sudeikis, Seth Meyers, Aziz Ansari, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, John Oliver, Jason Alexander, Geraldo Rivera, Edie Falco, Andrew Rannells, Jesse Eisenberg, Josh Groban, Conan O'Brien, Martin Short, Ralph Macchio, Ben Stiller, Fred Armisen, and the entire Apatow Family.

In an interview with ET on the red carpet of the 2016 Gotham Awards this week, Nick Kroll told the site that his dream guest would be former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. "He's playing hardball with us," he shared. "We have talked to campaign people, during the election and after. Obviously, we're going to start going at it straight. We're going straight to Twitter, we're going straight at him."

In addition to Sanders, other dream guests on his wish list include members of the band Steely Dan and President Barack Obama. "We would take Obama," Kroll shared, joking that the POTUS may be available in the next few weeks. "He has some free time," he said. "Our last show is January 22nd."

What do you think about President Obama making his Broadway debut in the show?
