President-Elect Donald Trump may be famous for starring in “The Celebrity Apprentice,” but it’s President Obama who has spent his time in office apprenticing to be a celebrity.

It appears that his farewell address will follow this trend — the official White House page detailing the event practically looks like a website for the next Hollywood blockbuster, a ready-made poster to adorn the walls of fanboys everywhere.

Obama’s entire presidency has been an exercise in celebrity.

“Since George Washington, U.S. presidents have often delivered a final address to the American people as a way to share both their reflections on their time in office and their outlook on the future of our country,” the page reads. “As his time in office comes to a close, President Obama will return to Chicago to deliver his Farewell Address on the evening of January 10, 2017.”

One can practically hear Don LaFontaine, the famed voice actor whose voice has become synonymous with movie trailers, read those words.

Of course, playing the movie star has been Obama’s modus operandi from Day One. Indeed, when he takes the stage in Chicago to give his farewell address next week, he may very well still be hungover from his celebrity-filled send-off bash, scheduled for Friday night.

Friday night’s soiree will be the merely the last in a long list of celebrity-filled parties Obama has hosted at the White House. Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, George Lucas, JJ Abrams, Samuel L. Jackson, Jay Z, and Chance the Rapper are just some of those invited to the star-studded affair. Some of these stars will undoubtedly attend his farewell address.

In addition to partying with Hollywood A-listers and pop stars on a regular basis, Obama and his wife have also used celebrities to push their political agenda and highlight cherished personal initiatives.

Michelle Obama’s signature “Let’s Move” initiative was endorsed by celebrities such as Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. And who could forget the time the rapper Rick Ross was invited to the White House as part of a youth empowerment program, only for his ankle bracelet to go off?

But the Obamas’ indecorous infatuation with stardom goes beyond just wanting to associate with celebrities — they clearly wish to be celebrities themselves. Michelle Obama has made appearances on multiple TV shows, including “Ellen,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “Sesame Street.”

The president has also displayed a pronounced love for the camera, making a number of embarrassing celebrity-like guest appearances on shows such as “American Idol,” “Ellen,” “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown,” “Running Wild with Bear Grylls,” “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” and “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.”

Obama even agreed to an interview with a YouTube “star” called GloZell Green, a person apparently famous for eating Fruit Loops from a bathtub.

Obama’s entire presidency has been an exercise in celebrity. His initial campaign created a pop-culture icon. He has spent tens of millions of dollars IN taxpayer money on luxurious vacations and golf trips.

Worst of all, he has relied from day one almost entirely on misleading — if not outright false — sound bytes and expertly staged photographs to build a narrative of an accomplished, successful presidency. Every tragedy merely a photo-op, every scandal a simple PR problem.

Obama has striven not to leave a lasting legacy, but a carefully crafted, made-for-TV story. The saccharine pomp and circumstance surrounding his send-off will surely be a testament to those efforts.
