The First Lady will soon appear on The First Drama of Network Television.
CBS has confirmed that none other than Michelle Obama will appear on an upcoming episode of NCIS Season 13, coming on board the most-watched series on television in a role she knows very well…
… herself.
Fans of the Mark Harmon-anchored drama can look forward to this special guest star on the show’s May 3 installment.
It will air in conjunction with “Joining Forces,” a nationwide initiative supporting service members, veterans, their families and loved ones.
“Filming inside the White House was a dream come true for the NCIS cast and crew,” NCIS boss producer Gary Glasberg said in a statement announcing Mrs. Obama’s appearance.
He added:
“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 First Lady, of course, is no stranger to the small screen.

She has also charmed audiences of Project Runway: Junior, Nashville and the Disney Channel’s Jessie over the years.
On the NCIS episode in question, titled “Homefront,” Obama will welcome agent Harmon’s beloved character of Gibbs and the wife of a Marine to the White House for a “Joining Forces” round table with military spouses.
(Interesting tidbit: The extras in the episode were actual military spouses.)
Joining Forces was launched by Mrs. Obama and Dr. Jill Biden in 2011.
It is an inspiring initiative that calls on all American citizens to rally around service members, veterans and their loved ones to support them through wellness, education and employment opportunities.
It doesn’t get much more important than that, does it?
