Jason Segel was rejected by Hillary Clinton

Jason Segel has revealed how he was rejected by Hillary Clinton.

The funnyman has previously joked that the former US First Lady is the mystery matriarch on his TV show How I Met Your Mother and after hearing his repeated references to her, Hillary wrote Jason a hilarious note turning town the chance to appear on screen with him.

Jason explained on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon: "Everyone always asks me, like on a red carpet or wherever, 'Who is the mother?' I always say Hillary Clinton as a joke. I got a letter in the mail. I got a rejection letter from Hillary Clinton."

Yesterday (30.04.12), website Politico obtained a copy of the hilarious rejection letter which references a number of Jason's movies including Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Muppets.

The Secretary of State wrote: "I was delighted to read about your interest in sharing the big screen with me. As you can imagine, I am a little occupied at the moment, but perhaps someday I can help you forget Sarah Marshall ... again. My only condition is that there be Muppets involved, and that is non-negotiable. In the meantime, you have my best wishes for continued success with your career."
