US First Lady Michelle Obama will appear on cult television comedy Parks and Recreation, BBC reported.
White House confirmed the first lady will be a guest star in the NBC show’s season six finale. Her cameo, in an episode titled Moving Up, will center on her campaign against child obesity.
The show’s star, Amy Poehler — who plays — joined Michelle’s campaign earlier this month when she appeared at a Let’s Move event in Miami.
Michelle is not the first US politician to appear on the show — US Vice President Joe Biden made a cameo on the show in 2012.
Three further senators, including presidential runner John McCain, have also guest starred in the show, which is currently in its sixth season.
Producer Michael Schur said last month that he was still hoping to persuade Hillary Clinton to make an appearance on the show.
“I always imagined the perfect ending to the series — and I hope it’s not for a while — would be a casual piece of B-roll where Leslie is walking through a building in Washington, DC, and passes Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton says, ‘Leslie.’ Leslie says, ‘Secretary Clinton,’ and keeps walking.”
“That might still be five seasons away, but that’s the trajectory I would like Leslie to enjoy.”
Regular stars Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones are due to leave the series at the end of season six. Season three of Parks and Rec is currently showing on BBC Four in the UK.
