TV and former politicians

Tina Fey of "SNL" and "30 Rock" has announced that Condoleezza Rice is going to appear on "30 Rock". She announced it during a meet and greet last night. It was reported by Lisa de Moraes, the TV columnist for the Washington Post, on her blog.

By appearing on such a popular TV show, can this be a sign of things to come for Ms. Rice, getting her name out there slowly to increase her visibility in preparation for something larger? Current candidates would jump at the chance to appear on such a program as it allows them to get their name known to people who might not necessarily have known otherwise. However, because candidates would use a cameo as a publicity stunt, I am not sure whether producers and broadcast company executives would be happy or allow it.
