‘Entourage’ creator Doug Ellin says the show is the secret bipartisan sauce

As political tensions mount ahead of the 2024 presidential election, there’s one ultimate bipartisan lifeline: the TV show “Entourage.”

Doug Ellinthe genius behind the show, tells TMZ he thinks it’s pretty cool. Barack Obama He once hailed him as his favorite. Donald Trump He was also on board… and is now the Republican vice presidential nominee. JD Vance has declared himself a fanatic.

In case you missed it, Vance posted an X-rated photo of himself on the tarmac in Wisconsin with his campaign team on Wednesday, captioning it: “This new version of Entourage is going to be awesome.” The internet went into a frenzy, and Doug made it clear he appreciated the love.

Doug, who also served as an executive producer on the show, says it’s fascinating how “Entourage” appeals to both parties. Few things get bipartisan support these days.

Obama called it his guilty pleasure in 2009, a surprise to Doug given the show’s raw and angry content. Today, many staunch Democrats shirk the show because of the subject matter. Still, over the years, the show’s popularity has crossed political lines.

Doug says the show’s ability to bridge political divides speaks volumes, especially since at its core it’s about loyalty and friendship.
