How does "FLOTUS and Knope" sound for a ticket?

First Lady Michelle Obama is making a guest appearance on Thursday night’s Parks and Recreation, the season six finale titled "Moving Up." NBC shared some stills from the shoot with Mashable, filmed two months ago in Miami.

Pawnee, Ind., has attracted political luminaries aplenty, from Vice President Joe Biden to Senators John McCain of Arizona and Barbara Boxer of California. But clearly, Leslie Knope is especially thrilled to have the First Lady walking the halls:

The hour-long episode airs on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
