Paris Hilton will be guest starring on NBC's My Name is Earl as herself. Hilton appears in a dream sequence after Earl is knocked unconscious.

"When we wrote the role of Paris Hilton in the script, we weren't exactly sure who to go with for the role," said Greg Garcia, the show's executive producer. He joked, "But after an exhausting search we finally settled on a relatively unknown actress by the name of Paris Hilton."

The Simple Life alumna kicks off Earl's return to TV following the writers strike hiatus. Look for Paris in a special one-hour episode on April 3.
