President Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, have both taped videos for a “comedic opening segment” at the Country Music Awards scheduled to air tonight, reports ABC News:

The president and the presumptive GOP nominee are both “in on the joke,” according to CMT President Brian Philips. “They’re each great sports.”

In addition to providing some comic relief from the campaign trail, the cameos offer the candidates an opportunity to appeal to heartland voters and country music fans.
