Comedian Sarah Silverman raised some eyebrows on Thursday when she told broadcaster Howard Stern that she’d once had a secret meeting with President Obama — one that the White House insisted she not discuss.

She didn’t disclose when the meeting, which supposedly happened in a hotel hallway, took place, but Obama aide Reggie Love and speechwriter Jon Favreau were also in attendance.  "He shakes my hand, he goes, 'Oooooo, I'm a big fan! You're very talented! Although I turn the volume down when my girls come into the room,'" said Silverman.

Andrea Shiell contributed.
