Michelle Obama’s iCarly Appearance: Hamsters, Robots, And Dancing

First Lady Michelle Obama‘s much-hyped iCarly episode aired on Monday night, and she had some fun with the guest spot, participating in a game show where she has to guess if a character named Gibby is wearing a hat or criticizing his pet hamster, sharing secret robot-building plans, and dancing with the cast of the show.

Mrs. Obama, who turns 48 today, had appeared in an earlier segment, sharing her admiration for Carly’s father’s military service. Buoyed by her visit, they asked the First Lady to appear on their web show, which featured the Gibby game. She correctly answers three questions — a new record — and wins a bag of nuts and bolts.

“Now I can finally finish that robot!” an excited First Lady declares, before an adviser steps up to the podium and whispers something in her ear.

“I’m not supposed to mention the robot?” She asks, dejectedly.

“No,” the man says, walking away.

Carly then announces that the show is over, and everyone starts dancing.
