Former First Lady Michelle Obama will be back in the spotlight later this month when she makes an appearance on the fifth season of "Masterchef Junior" as a guest star.
"MasterChef Junior," a cooking television series, consists of children between the ages of eight and 13 who compete against each other for a $100,000 prize. The show, which premiered Friday night on FOX, will include a rotation of guests in place of former judge Graham Elliot, Mashable reported.
One of Obama's main initiatives as first lady revolved around encouraging children to eat healthier and live an active lifestyle to curb child obesity. She led a public health campaign called "Let's Move!" One of the programs within this campaign was called "Chefs Move to Schools," which was created in 2010 as a nationwide effort to teach culinary skills and new healthy food options to school children.
"We are going to need everyone's time and talent to solve the childhood obesity epidemic and our nation's chefs have tremendous power as leaders on this issue because of their deep knowledge of food and nutrition and their standing in the community," Obama said of the program. "I want to thank them for joining the Let's Move! Campaign."
Update 3:30 P.M.: A previous version of this article stated that Michelle Obama would be a guest judge for "Masterchef Junior." She will be a guest star on the show.
