Over 10 million viewers tuned in to watch Britney Spears during her four minutes. The pop star wore eight different sets of clothes during her TV appearance which were auctioned off for thousands of dollars.
Spears played a shy receptionist in a tattoo-removal clinic, wearing big glasses during the episode, who falls in love with the main character, Ted.
Her role was "over the top, and she certainly went for it. Clearly, she likes being on camera, no one can argue that!" said Aliza Shane, senior director of New York City's Looking Glass Theater.
The TV role marked a stunning comeback to the small screen for Spears, who last made an appearance with a guest role in the hit US sitcom Will & Grace in 2006.
CBS wants to offer Spears more future guest appearances. The television network wants to work with her in Los Angeles where she can remain to see her kids regularly and to create a positive work environment. Whether Spears will take the job is still a relevant question.
Meanwhile, rumors are beginning to surface that Spears might be hosting the Kids' Choice Awards.
{slot15}The pop singer's rep has yet to confirm the unofficial report, but insiders tell OK! "It's supposed to be top secret, but everyone is already buzzing about it."
"Her sister, Jamie Lynn, made such a splash at the event last year, Brit knows that she'll get as much, if not more, attention if she shows up this year," the source said.
The Kids' Choice Awards airs on March 29.
