First Lady Michelle Obama will appear in the season finale of “Parks and Recreation,” set to air on April 24, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

She filmed the episode in February when she was in Miami, Fla. to participate in a “Let’s Move” event with “Parks and Rec” star Amy Poehler.

Obama isn’t the first politician to appear on the comedy show. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and former Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) also starred.

Vice President Joe Biden did as well, and recently had a reunion with Poehler on “Late Night.”
