Michelle Obama to guest-star on "NCIS"
The first lady is headed to prime time.
Michelle Obama will appear on the May 3 episode of "NCIS," playing herself at the White House, which also plays itself. The episode will air in conjunction with the first lady's annual Joining Forces initiative, which supports military service members, veterans and their families.
In the episode, Obama invites Mark Harmon's special agent Gibbs to the White House along with the wife of a Marine to take part in a Joining Forces military spouse roundtable -- with real military spouses serving as extras in the episode.
"Filming inside the White House was a dream come true for the 'NCIS' cast and crew," producer Gary Glasberg said in a statement. "It was such a pleasure working with first lady Michelle Obama, and it's our honor to support the Joining Forces initiative and the military families that benefit from it."
The appearance marks the first lady's second time on a prime time drama, as she previously had a guest spot on "Nashville." She has also appeared on Lifetime's "Project Runway: Junior" and the Disney Channel's "Jessie."
"NCIS" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
