Obama to appear on Parks and Recreation

US first lady Michelle Obama will make a cameo appearance on the season finale of Amy Poehler's comedy series Parks and Recreation.

The cast of hit US comedy Parks and Recreation is getting a new member for a night: Michelle Obama.

The first lady's office says Obama will appear on the show's season finale on April 24.

The show's Twitter account said it's "time to get real about Pawnee's obesity." It's a reference to Pawnee, the fictional town where the show takes place, and the first lady's campaign against child obesity.

The show's star, Amy Poehler, lent the campaign a hand earlier this week when she appeared at a Let's Move event in Miami, where Obama joked that she and Poehler are best friends.

Obama won't be the first White House figure to appear on the show. Vice President Joe Biden made a cameo on the show in 2012.
