During a sit-down interview withTodayco-hostHoda Kotbto promote her new movieKnives Out, the actress revealed that she wished Kotb would set her sights on politics.
“I think you should run for President,” Curtis, 60, said at the end of the interview, suddenly changing course after speaking about her ownjourney to sobriety.
“I think you embody the absolute best because youhave little babies at homeand you suit up and show up in this incredibly grounded way that makes people feel safe,” she remarked to a seemingly stunned Kotb. “I just think you’re an extraordinary example for all of us and I wish you were running because I wish you were the president.”
As Kotb laughed in her seat, Curtis added, “Sorry, just saying — that’s how I feel.”

Earlier in the interview, Curtis also appeared to make a few digs at the current political climate while she praisedKnives Out.
“At the center of the movie is this beating heart of this immigrant, a perfect movie for this holiday. There’s plenty of red meat, plenty of blue meat, we throw it at each other and in the middle is something very important: love,” she said.

“It’s super, super, super fun at a time when things aren’t so fun all around the world. It’s nice to have a movie that’s funny and you get to go and have a good time.”
