History Main / PoliticianGuestStar

*** [[SevenMass This Troper]] wonder if this trope is equally present for any president or if president Obama is a special case, because he is, for some reason, treated like a pop star more than any previous U.S. president.

This is going to be special episode. This is going to be a {{Pilot}}, PilotMovie, GrandFinale, OriginsIssue, ReunionShow, or maybe even a VerySpecialEpisode. Or regular episode, in which we want something that will make it special. We need a guest star, but not [[SpecialGuest any guest star]]. And not another episode where [[CelebrityStar Metallica's in town]]. We need someone real big, like, like...like president of the United States! Or Russia! Or British prime minister! Maybe even a member of Royal Family! Or Pope! No matter - he just needs to be well-recognized political or religious leader. If he's popular, cover with his face itself will earn thousands. And if for some reason people don't like him, we will just chip with him, and they will love us. It doesn't matter, if [[CelebrityStar the whole story will go round about him]], or [[SpecialGuest he will make only short appearance]], [[InvisiblePresident if at all]] - it will work perfectly.
