As part of his farewell media tour, President Barack Obama will be interviewed on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on December 12. The president has been a guest on the show before, but the interview will be a bit different as it will be done at the White House.
Comedy Central appears to be pulling out all the stops for the interview, as it plans to simulcast it on Comedy Central, MTV and BET. Obama has been on the Comedy Central staple seven times, but this is the first time Noah will have a chance to chat with him. And Obama will be on his home turf, so it remains to be seen whether or not Noah will probe him over any regrets he has on his administration or what he really thinks about Donald Trump taking over his job. So far the president has been civil in talking about the president-elect, even providing a quasi-mentor role, but perhaps Noah may be able to delve a little further.
Since taking over the reigns from Jon Stewart in September 2015. Noah has made himself stand out from Stewart’s tenure by having eclectic guests, including controversial political talking head Tomi Lahren, which has since taken on a life of its own.
Obama is the first sitting president to have taken part in late-night talk show interviews and this last appearance on The Daily Show may be his swan song.
