It looks as if President Obama had quite a bit of fun while in Cuba. In addition to attending a baseball game (and doing the wave alongside Raúl Castro), Obama made an appearance on the popular Cuban TV show Vivir del Cuento, acting out a goofy skit alongside comic Luis Silva.
It wasn't Obama's first time on the show, either. Last Saturday, before Obama had flown to Havana, he appeared in a segment where Silva's character, Panfilo, accidently calls the U.S. president. In that episode, Panfilo offers Obama tourist advice for his visit to Havana.
