So long as he is making himself available to more serious journalists then I don't really have a problem with it. If it is just an attempt to marginalize press more likely to ask him tough questions, then I do.

Another message board discussed this recently (Presidents on non-news TV, particularly late night) and all we could come with were:

Gerald Ford appeared in on the April 17, 1976 episode of Saturday Night Live, which was hosted by his press secretary.

George W. Bush appeared in an episode of Deal or No Deal last year in support of an Iraq War veteran playing the game.
