Underwood’s appearance aired during season 5 on the episode titled, “Hooked.”

The country superstar played the role of Tiffany, a pharmaceutical representative. Ted (Josh Radnor) was romantically interested in Tiffany. She is vague about their relationship status and Ted’s friends tell him Tiffany has him “on her hook.” That is, until he finds out she has a boyfriend at the end of the episode.

Before the episode aired, Underwood wrote about her time on the show on her blog.

“I’m giving up the music business and I’m going to become a professional sitcom actress! Just kidding, of course, but I did have a blast while I was there,” she joked.

The Oklahoma native showed her gratitude for the cast and crew for making her feel “right at home.”

“I got to hang out with the whole cast, dress up like a flight attendant, play a cavewoman and had a baby pig poop on me…that’s right…jealous,” she wrote. “I’m just glad I grew up on a farm because I think I was the only one who knew how to hold and wasn’t afraid of a little piglet!”
