Michelle Obama to Guest Star on "black-ish" Season 8 Premiere

Emmy^® and Golden Globe^® Award-nominated comedy series "black-ish" returns TUES JAN 4 on ABC—with guest star Michelle Obama! Bow convinces Dre to attend a fundraising event for When We All Vote in hopes to make some new couple friends (and to do their part in increasing participation in each and every election), but Dre is convinced there will be nothing but dud husbands there to befriend. Their expectations are far exceeded when the special guest for the evening is none other than Michelle Obama.
