Michelle Obama appears on The Simpsons

[Ichingcarpenter]

The US First Lady makes a brief appearance in the long-running animated sitcom in an episode called Stealing First Base, which was broadcast on Sunday.

Although depicted in the latest instalment, Mrs Obama played no part herself, with her voice-over being provided by actress Angela Bassett.

The episode sees Lisa blogging about being ostracised at school because she is an academic high achiever.
Her post is noted by a mysterious blogger known as FLOTUS1, who turns out to be Mrs Obama.

Mrs Obama then visits Springfield Elementary to give a speech about the importance of academics and recommends that the students be nice to Lisa and other high achievers.

3. They had a teaser about a "special guest" in the episode.

When she showed up I thought 'Wow what a coup' until the character started talking.


Decent episode, too. Nelson Muntz swooned. :-)
