Are you "Lost" on when the SOTU will be? Join the club

For all you Lost fans out there, don’t worry. The White House has promised that the upcoming State of the Union speech by President Barack Obama won’t cut into the premiere of the show’s final season on Feb. 2.
 
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs recently said, “I don’t foresee a scenario in which the millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in Lost are preempted by the president.” But he didn't say when the SOTU will take place.
 
Lost fans created Facebook pages and tweeted to beg the White House not to cut into the three-hour time slot for the show that ABC set aside for that Tuesday.
 
The SOTU is typically delivered in late January, triggering speculation it will occur on Jan. 26. That's the same date as one of the popular first few audition episodes of American Idol. Obama could also speak before primetime, but that's highly unlikely.
 
By the way, there is a unique tie to Lost and the White House: Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s brother is the talent agent who represents Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse.
