U.S. President Barack Obama will appear on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” just days before the midterm elections, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Obama will appear on the comedy show in his first appearance as president on October 27.
Stewart will be filming in Washington, D.C., that week ahead of his “Rally to Restore Sanity” on October 30.
The president is due to set off on a four-day campaign swing starting Wednesday to prop up vulnerable candidates, pour fresh cash into party coffers, and renew a bond with voters who helped put him in the White House and will likely be called upon again in his reelection bid in 2012.
He will begin in Oregon, a far western state with an independent streak, where, as presidential hopeful, Obama stunned political observers in May 2008 by pulling in a crowd estimated at 75,000 people to an outdoor rally.
He will then move next door to Washington, before stops in California and Nevada.
On his way back to the White House, Obama will stop Saturday in his 10th state in nine days via Minnesota, a key 2012 battleground. His schedule also includes an October 25 stop in Rhode Island.
The midterm elections will be held on November 2.
