The first lady is set to be on an episode of the comedy “iCarly” to promote Joining Forces, a program to support military families.

The show’s main character, Carly Shay, who is played by Miranda Cosgrove, is the daughter of a colonel serving overseas. When Carly’s two best friends break some rules to set up a Web chat so Carly can speak to her dad on his birthday, “the first lady comes to have a chat with them in the most positive way possible,” Nickelodeon president Cyma Zarghami said.

The first lady approached the network about the idea, and Nickelodeon was pleased to work with her.

“Everybody cares about these families, so it just feels right,” Zarghami said.

President and Mrs. Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, are fans of the show, Zarghami said. The episode is likely to air in January.
