Lori Loughlin poked fun at her own college admissions scandal in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The actress, 59, who served time in prison over the incident, played herself on the sixth episode of the 12th and final season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The storyline saw Lori blackballed from exclusive L.A. country clubs in the wake of her scandal.

To claw her way back in, she seeks out help from the 'uncancellable' Larry David - who is able to get her approved for membership at one of the clubs.

However, Larry quickly discovers that Lori lives up to her scandalous reputation by cheating and lying on the club's golf course.

Curb executive producer Jeff Schaffer said that Lori was more than game to parody the scandal on screen. 

'This was an idea that we loved from a writer named Teddy Bressman. But it's not going to be funny with some sort of thinly veiled surrogate. It only works if we get Lori,' he said.

'So we called her manager up, who loved it, and who then talked to Lori, and she said: "I'm in, I'm totally game." And she was. She was so great. Everything we threw at her, she was game to do. She makes the episode. I'm so glad she wanted to do it.'

Lori served two months behind bars for her role in the college admissions scandal.

The Fuller House actress and husband Mossimo Giannulli were among some 50 people, including actress Felicity Huffman, who were accused of paying bribes and cheating to help get their children into America's top colleges.

Prosecutors alleged the couple paid $500,000 to get both of their daughters admitted into the University Of Southern California as recruits for the crew team, despite the fact that they had never participated in the sport.

Loughlin copped a plea to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and was ordered to pay a $150,000 fine and complete 100 hours of community service and serve two months in prison. 

After also copping a plea with prosecutors, Giannulli was sentenced to five months in prison, fined $250,000 and ordered to complete 250 hours of community service.

Mossimo served five months in a medium-security prison in Lompoc, California, from November 19, 2020 until April 2, 2021.

Lori served her two-month prison sentence at FCI Dublin in Northern California, reporting to prison on October 30, 2020 and being released on December 28, 2020.
