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.

Candice Bergen suggested early on that Hillary Clinton make a Murphy Brown cameo

Creator Diane English says Clinton filmed her cameo on a closed set, without a studio audience. English adds that Bergen suggested the cameo when she was starting to write the pilot script. "She said, 'You know who would be a great secretary? Hillary Clinton.' And I thought, Oh, that’s a genius idea. Then we started a campaign," says English. "I have good friends who work very closely with her. I ran one of her PACs during the 2016 campaign. So we reached out and we sent her the script. It had to go through many hands. She really liked it, and then it was a matter of making it work in the schedule, which was the difficult part. So we did film it separate from the filming we did for our first episode, where we had a live audience. It was filmed actually two weeks later, in early August." ALSO: English says Clinton "knew her lines and she's kind of a natural."

There’s going to be another surprise cameo from someone else as well.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was funny, but Hillary felt way too robotic.
