"2012 is shaping up to be iCarly&amp;#039;s biggest year ever! Monday, January 16th, First Lady Michelle Obama guest stars in &amp;quot;iMeet the First Lady&amp;quot; and January 24th, the show has a new soundtrack coming out, featuring hit songs by Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy (obvi!), Katy Perry, Ke$ha and more. Seventeen caught up with Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Kress and Noah Munck to talk about all the excitement! Plus, be the first to hear the radio remix to the iCarly theme song, &amp;quot;Leave It All To Me&amp;quot;. Listen to it while you read by clicking HERE! Seventeen: It&amp;#039;s so cool that Michelle Obama is guest staring on iCarly! How did that come about? Jennette McCurdy: Mrs. Obama actually wanted to be on the show, so that was exciting. Somebody from the White House called one of our producers. They laughed because they didn&amp;#039;t think it was serious. But several months later when Michelle Obama walked on set, we saw that they were very serious! 17: Are their daughters fans of the show? Noah Munck: Oh, yeah. They were actually Mrs. Obama&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;random dance advisors&amp;quot; for the episode because they said they didn&amp;#039;t want her to embarrass herself. 17: What is the episode about? NM: In the episode, it&amp;#039;s Carly&amp;#039;s dad&amp;#039;s birthday and he&amp;#039;s in the Air Force and doing a tour of duty. He was suppossed to come home for the birthday party, but something goes wrong and he can&amp;#039;t make it home so we do a webcast and then the First Lady gets involved. JM: She sees the webcast because her daughters watch the show and she feels bad that we can&amp;#039;t connect in person with Carly&amp;#039;s dad. Some things in the webcast go array, so that sucks as well, so she gets involved...Our executive producer came up with the storyline and I think it&amp;#039;s a great way to connect with the Joining Forces iniciative and it really seemed authentic. 17: So, did Mrs. Obama do a good job? Nathan Kress: She did really well! We were very impressed. She&amp;#039;s in two very large scenes and she had a ton of dialog. It would have even been tough for us and we&amp;#039;ve been doing it for years and this is her TV debut as far as sitcoms go, but she nailed the takes one after another. 17: How are you ever going to top Michelle Obama? JM: I don&amp;#039;t know! The president! I don&amp;#039;t think there&amp;#039;s a way to top the First Lady. We just better keep the jokes running and bring the funny. 17: You guys also have iCarly iSoundtrack II coming out January 24, which is exciting. NM: It was the first time the iCarly cast was all in the studio singing. NK: It was my first time in the studio, so I was very out of my element. But we were just told to goof off and mess around so it was fun! JM: I think the iCarly iSoundtrack II is a great party playlist. You can have a slumber party or birthday party with your friends and just play it in the background. There&amp;#039;s a lot of great songs by Miranda, The Ting Tings, Ke$ha, Leona Lewis and then we have the whole iCarly cast singing. I have a song on it. It&amp;#039;s a fun soundtrack! Click HERE to be the first to hear the &amp;quot;Leave It All To Me&amp;quot; radio remix - exclusive to Seventeen! Watch &amp;quot;iMeet the First Lady&amp;quot; Monday, January 16 at 7:30 ET/PT on Nick and order the iCarly iSoundtrack II for presale on iTunes now! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
