Hillary Clinton made a surprise cameo on Murphy Brown premiere

Deadline

Clinton's surprise appearance Thursday on the CBS revival series was a "near-state-secret cameo," reports Deadline, which adds that the brief was let off of review screeners sent to TV critics. Clinton reportedly didn't tell any friends or family about the cameo. "She came and did a beautifully written little sketch, but not only did she do it and she was so gracious, but she was humiliating because she was a wonderful actor," Candice Bergen said of Clinton's cameo. "She doesn't overplay. She's very honest. She's very contained. She's very, very real." ALSO: Murphy Brown premiere mocked Roseanne's downfall.
