Miranda Cosgrove and the cast of Nickelodeon's iCarly had quite an experience when they got the chance to share the small screen with First Lady Michelle Obama.

On Jan. 16, Mrs. Obama brings her star power to the teen comedy. Miranda recently talked to Parade.com about what it was like having the First Lady on set and dished on two of the show's biggest fans: Sasha and Malia Obama.  Check out some highlights below:

On Michelle Obama's iCarly cameo...
MC: "Everyone on set was just really thrilled to get to have her on the show. We had Secret Service on set a week before she came because they had to come and check out the area. We went through a lot of different rules and learned a lot about what her life is like. It was really interesting. It was one of those things you never forget."

On having the Obama girls as fans...
MC: "It's really exciting. I met her daughters before and they're really nice. It's crazy that they watch the show! I was really excited to hear that."

On the First Lady's acting chops...
MC: "It was her first time acting, so it was funny because we were all so nervous to meet her and she was so nervous because she said it was her first time ever memorizing lines like that and being on a TV show. But she was really good. She went over her lines and she had them all down really well.

"We also got to random dance with her, which is something we do on the show a lot. I never thought we'd be dancing with the First Lady, so that was pretty cool!"
