There's an episode of "The West Wing" that deals with the State of the Union speech titled "He shall, From Time to Time..." and another episode cleverly titled "Bartlet's Third State of the Union."

Another curiosity of the protocol sn that the Speaker of the House has to formally invite the president to come to the Capitol to address the combined House and Senate (along with the Supreme Court Justices). Imagine the smile on Speaker Pelosi's face as she signed Trump's invitation!
