TV viewers are no doubt used to seeing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton following various debates, but soon, she鈥檒l be appearing on a fictional TV comedy.

Clinton will star on the Comedy Central program 鈥淏road City,鈥� with the episode featuring the politician set to air on March 16. that Clinton will appear as part of a storyline in which Glazer鈥檚 character Ilana goes to work for Clinton鈥檚 campaign.听

Those behind the Twitter account for 鈥淏road鈥� had previously tweeted about Clinton鈥檚 appearance.听

Other politicians who have appeared recently on fictional comedies include Vice President Joe Biden, who was part of the NBC sitcom 鈥淧arks and Recreation.鈥� He did so for the first time in November 2012 after the presidential election and appeared again in 2015.听

Candidates appearing on late-night talk shows and on 鈥淪NL鈥� is much more common. Appearing on 鈥淪NL鈥� in particular has become almost an expected step for politicians, though this election season has been slightly different from past ones at 鈥淪NL,鈥� with Donald Trump serving as host this past November. Politicians often appear on the show but rarely take on the job of host and 鈥淪NL鈥� met with some criticism for having Trump do so.

Both Clinton and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have appeared on this season of 鈥淪NL,鈥� with Clinton portraying a bartender who chatted with candidate Clinton as played by Kate McKinnon.

Sanders appeared alongside Larry David, who has portrayed Sanders on 鈥淪NL,鈥� earlier this year. David and Sanders portrayed people on a cruise ship who begin debating who should be rescued first after the craft begins sinking.

And of course appearing on a weeknight late-night comedy show has become the norm as well. Trump recently appeared on 鈥淭he Tonight Show鈥� and 鈥淛immy Kimmel Live!,鈥� while presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Sanders have appeared on 鈥淭he Late Show with Stephen Colbert鈥� and Clinton has appeared on 鈥淭he Tonight Show鈥� and 鈥淜immel,鈥� among others, in addition to 鈥淟ate Night with Seth Meyers.鈥�

This is a different strategy than that of candidates of decades past.听 noted of politicians appearing on late-night comedy programs, 鈥淚n stark contrast to the Johnny Carson era, it is now routine for D.C. players to appear in the guest chair.鈥澨�

Why would politicians appear on these programs? writes that 鈥渢oday鈥檚 candidates choose the late-night comedy circuit because they know they have to appear comfortable and relatable, especially to young voters.鈥澨�

Young voters are almost certainly whom Clinton is aiming for with the appearance on 鈥淏road鈥� 鈥� noted of the program, 鈥淭hough 鈥楤road City鈥� is hardly a massive ratings driver, the series has delivered raves 鈥� and brought a sense of 鈥榟ip鈥� to Comedy Central.鈥�
