AceShowbiz - Natalie Portman is flexing her comedic muscle by guest starring on TBS' comedy "Angie Tribeca". A sneak peek of her hilarious appearance as the head of NASA mission control on the police procedural parody has now been released via EW.
In the short clip, Portman's Christine Craft is seen in an intense situation in a control room. She tries to make contact with a pristine craft, but gets no response.
Christine Craft is described as a no-nonsense boss, who for years has battled the sexist, male-run culture at NASA, which hasn't changed at all since 1963. She comes into the story as a man falls from the sky and the team investigates a lead in space in the episode.
Created by Steve Carell and Nancy Carell, "Angie Tribeca" stars Rashida Jones as the titular police detective and Deon Cole as Det. Daniel "DJ" Tanner.
The episode featuring Portman will air Monday, May 8 at 10:30 P.M. ET/PT on TBS.
