…even if that IS the plot of his NBC sitcom, “Young Rock.”

Back in April, 46% of people polled said that they would vote for him if he ran.

Johnson described the overwhelming support as “humbling.”

“It sits me down and I don't know any other way to describe it,” he added.

However, he admitted, “I don’t know a d--- thing about being a politician.”

He added that he doesn’t think he has “that political gene” in his DNA.

“I feel the best position I can be in right now is to be a trusted, nonjudgmental place for people,” he continued.

He concluded, “Like I said, I don’t think I’d make a good politician.”
