She is "quite a phenomenon," Biden added of the 6-year-old star of a beauty pageant television program.
She also has endorsed Biden's running mate, President Obama, which Obama joked last month was "a big relief."
The vice president does enjoy a few television programs.
"Beyond “Modern Family” and “Parks and Recreation” - that's about it, those are ones that I spend most of my time with," he said.
Biden's affinity for NBC's “Parks and Recreation” may be returned by the show's star, Amy Poehler, who plays the deputy director of a small Midwestern town's parks department.
Poehler's character has described her ideal man as having the "brains of George Clooney in the body of Joe Biden," and jumps at the chance to score Biden's phone number.
Several episodes of the most recent season were taped in Washington, including one featuring Sen. John McCain, the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee.
