When asked about Michelle Obama's recent comment about "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" being one of her favourite programmes, Brooks said that she turned down the offer by sending a two-word note.


"I did not see that. Yippee! We tried to get her on 'The Simpsons' and we couldn't. We finally got a note that said "good try", because we were so aggressive," Brooks said.
