guest spot
Visiting performer's slot
A guest spot is a one-time or limited appearance by a performer on a show where they're not a regular: She did a guest spot on the sitcom last season.
The term comes from entertainment—television, radio, podcasts—where the "spot" is a slot in the lineup.
A guest spot can boost visibility for the guest or add novelty for the audience.
