While Jay Leno had a fake presidential interview on his first show Monday night, David Letterman will have the real thing September 21.

President Barack Obama will make the first appearance ever by a sitting U.S. President on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman on next Monday’s show.

He will be the sole guest on the broadcast.

President Obama has already appeared on The Tonight Show since being inaugurated in January, making a visit to the program, then hosted by Jay Leno, on March 19.

It’s just a matter of time. She had to do her 2 part interview with Whitney Houston first.

Letterman’s still on TV?

[VanDeKoik]

Next stop Maury Povich?

"Barack, you are NOT the president!"

[spinestein]

I predict that before too long Obama will set up his own broadcasting outfit and then issue an executive order that says all other networks have to carry it 24/7.

Obama’s face on every TV channel and his voice on every radio station. All Obama, all the time. It’s like he’s trying to be like Castro or Chavez.

How about The Hollywood Squares - he could sit between Paul Lynde and Charlie Weaver ...

We know he could never appear on "To Tell the Truth".

I’m waiting for his debut on “So You Think You can Dance”, but it’s on Fox, so I know he’ll never do it.

[Revolting cat!]

Next: Here come da judge!

[murphE]

Yes, someone make it stop.

I predict that before too long Obama will set up his own broadcasting outfit and then issue an executive order that says all other networks have to carry it 24/7.

How Orwellian.

I wish that someone in the audience will yell, “YOU LIE!” Of course, they’d just edit it out.

Headline?

“Careful! That would mean he would be planted as they are. Someone from the OBAMA Justice Depatrtment may arrest you for committing a HATE CRIME”!

...Nope. Just funny picturing him between the two having to come up with wacky one liners and witticisms.

I don’t have to worry about watching Obama since I don’t watch any of the networks where he is appearing.

[Allegra]

He's going to go on there to pimp his stupid health care plan and trash conservatives.

Letterman is the perfect lapdog for that cr@p.

[TNCMAXQ]

How much is CBS paying the Dems for the privilege?

Seriously, I wonder how much free advertising 0 and the Dems get from this kind of stunt. Dave will be slobbering all over him, no doubt. If he wanted to really gain some stature and respect he would go on Glen Beck’s show, or Hannity.

[a fool in paradise]

Bela Pelosi resembles that remark.

Don't even accidentally leave your TV tuned to this, in case the dog wanders into the room while he's on. Dogs are good judges of character, and you might find some doggie piles to clean up in the morning.

Could be an electrical hazard for the poor dog if he does a little territory marking on the TV to show his displeasure.

Overexposure is hurting the Kenyan. I hope he does the View, Oprah, and Bill Maher. In 2012 another republican can win on the “restore honor and dignity to the White House” theme.
