It's confusing when famous people share the same name. Craig Robinson spent years playing Darryl Philbin on The Office under his name. However, there is another Craig Robinson in the public eye. Michelle Obama has a podcast called "IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson." Her cohost is her brother, who is an author. The funny actor, 54, revealed how getting mistaken for the 63-year-old author messed with his dating life in a new interview.
Actor Craig Robinson Was Accused of Having a Wife While Dating
The Hot Tub Time Machine actor appeared on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle. He talked about his Broadway debut in "All Out." Jenna Bush Hager told Robinson she wasn't sure if he or the former first lady's brother was today's guest. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor laughed and said this happened more than once to him.
"There’s been one or two things," he told the hosts. "One time I was dating a girl and she called me up crying thinking I was [the] married Craig Robinson." The married Robinson's spouse is Kelly Robinson. The woman found a picture of Obama's brother with his kids and the same name. The author sent the actor a video message, and it was played on the talk show.
"Hi, Craig Robinson, it’s the other Craig Robinson," he started the video. "Broadway, wow! Congrats on the show. And I heard people are getting us mixed up. So why don't we make the most of it? Let's have you host the IMO podcast with my sister, Michelle Obama, and I'll give Broadway a try." The actor said he would "love" to take him up on the offer.
Robinson's role on The Office also has a loose connection to Obama. The Office is in the same universe asParks and Recreation. Mike Schur also produced both NBC shows. The first lady met Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope in an episode. Of course, Leslie was too stunned to speak.
