When life puts Michelle Obama in your crosshairs, you gotta shoot your shot at an informal hang, which is exactly what the Johnsons do. And to their surprise, the ex-FLOTUS accepts their invitation to dinner at their house. The rest of the Johnson clan, however, has every intention of crashing this historic meal.
Since its 2014 premiere, Black-ish has made several references to the first Black First Family. The Johnsons dressed up as the Obamas in season 2's Halloween episode, "Jacked o' Lantern," and the 2016 episode "Hope" used archival footage of Barack Obama's inauguration. There's more than a hint of poignancy in Michelle Obama (finally) pulling up a seat at their table for the show's eighth and final season.
Back in October, ABC teased her appearance by sharing a photo of the cast with their VIP guest on social media.
