Hillary Clinton Guest Stars in 'Murphy Brown' Premiere

Hillary Clinton was the first big name cameo of “Murphy Brown’s” revival season.

Clinton appeared in the Sept. 27 premiere of the Candice Bergen-led sitcom — but not as herself. Instead, she was “Hilary,” a woman who said she is often mistaken for the former presidential candidate but actually spells her name with only one “L.” She arrived at Murphy’s new cable news show, “Murphy in the Morning,” to interview for the “secretarial position.”

...

In the end, though, Murphy said although she was “very impressive,” she was “maybe a little over-qualified” and needed some time to think about the hire. Clinton left Murphy with a business card that said her email address was “Hilary at you could have had me dot com.”

This marks the first of Clinton’s two CBS cameos this fall television season. She will also appear in the fifth season premiere of “Madam Secretary.”

She was fun on Colbert last night

[lunamagica]

2. She has such a great sense of humor

4. I love it. She is such a wonderful person.

Of course she teases us with the email address.

5. I watched the show and it lived up to my high expectations somehow.

Very well done! Two thumbs up!👍👍

6. K&R! I was wondering if Hillary remembered the time Murphy "kidnapped" Socks!

[LoveMyCali]

13. Hahahaha

I had forgotten that but now that you mention it that was one of my favorite episodes.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. That was my favorite, too!

She was driving home, congratulating herself in finally getting readmitted into The White House - and then she heard that "meow..."

7. I've got this on my calendar to watch next week!

I know it won't be the same, but I hope it's good.

I hate that Bergen looks so different, gained so much weight. I understand gaining some weight, but I always find it disappointing when someone looks so different from before. (I'm over 60 and still normal weight, yet have struggled with my weight since childhood. Unless there's a medical reason.) Of course, if I'd seen her along the way, it wouldn't be that big a change to me. Maybe I'll get used to it after a few minutes.

8. She suffered a stroke during her 'Boston Legal' days.

denied it for years but came clean a few years later.

she is in her '70's though.

[Honeycombe8]

10. Oh, I see. I can understand her denying it, too...for work & discrimination purposes. Thanks. nt

11. It's one of those things that happens.

My wife used to be a model and a dancer ( a real dancer, not an 'exotic' dancer...).

At nearly sixty, she's gained a great deal of weight, but she's just as beautiful to me as the day I married her. (It's not like I'm any prize; when we married, I had abs and a full head of hair; now, both abs and hair are long gone.)

Candace Bergen still looks fantastic to me.

[Honeycombe8]

12. LOL! (about your abs & hair)

Yes, it's true. I'm older, now, and don't look the same. You know how it is...you have this memory of it in your head, and it won't be like that. A person's way of moving and appearance are all part of who they appear to be at the time. But time marches on.

I imagine I'll get used to it in short order. It's actually her personality, her voice, her wit, her comedic timing that I remember most.

We also tend to hold women to a tougher standard. William Shatner certainly looks very different from his Star Trek days.

15. I think she looks great too.

She looks really good for a 72 year old woman. She was definitely gorgeous when she was young.

9. Well played. The secretary gag was always a fun bit during the initial run.

"I was a secretary of....a very large organization" when asked about her experience.

If ever a reboot was needed it is this show!

[Gothmog]

14. I love this show

[Raine]

17. wouldn't plan on it being around long , it was the lowest rated

show on Thursday night unless CBS decides to go with anyway.

[riversedge]

18. maybe it is just a later bloomer? I loved the first series.

[Raine]

19. if they give it enough time it will probably

catch on. Seinfeld started out slow and was given time to become a hit but now who knows, everything has to be so fast.
