While the whole Agent Elvis This is not based on a true true story, the show is inspired by Elvis’ red-eye trip to meet the then president. Richard Nixon. During his long journey from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., Elvis was reportedly troubled by the thought of meeting a world leader.

I have studied drug abuse and communist brainwashing techniques in depth and I am right in the middle of it all where I can and will do the most good.” This encounter allegedly led to Elvis being made an honorary government agent, though we’re pretty sure it was more of a title than an actual job with jetpacks.
