Katz and ESPN cameras came to the White House to document President Barack Obama filling out his 2009 March Madness Bracket. Katz lost a bet with President Obama and owes him some ESPN souvenirs; the President correctly picked North Carolina Tar Heels to win the 2009 NCAA Division I men's basketball national championship.[5]
