“She was down to do whatever a PA is asked to do, and I had wild respect for her for that,” Berry told host Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. “Everybody couldn’t really see her as a PA, although she tried and tried to be one. We just couldn’t really see her as one, but to her credit, she tried very hard to be one.”

“Obviously we weren’t, like, making her go get our coffee,” Dunham added to Howard Stern of her time working with Malia. “But she wanted to do all the jobs. That was the cool thing. She was totally enthusiastic.”
As a former production assistant who got a lot of coffee, I am tempted to say that enthusiasm may be easier to come by when you’re not doing menial labor for 12-14 hours a day. But I can’t fault Malia for long: she never chose to become one of America’s most-watched women growing up in the White House, and there’s nothing to suggest she’s growing into anything other than a spectacular young woman — one with both her parents’ work ethic and fondness for dabbling in TV, no less.
