Barack Obama’s farewell tour will take him back to familiar territory for one last time as president.
Comedy Central announced that POTUS will appear on “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” on Monday, Dec. 12. The episode will be simulcast across Comedy Central and fellow Viacom networks MTV and BET.
The visit will mark Obama’s first since Trevor Noah took over as host last year. The interview is set to take place at the White House.
Obama has appeared on “The Daily Show” as a guest seven times — the last in July 2015, one month before previous host Jon Stewart left the show. That episode drew 1.514 million total viewers. By comparison, the most recent week of original episodes of “The Daily Show” averaged 530,000 total viewers, according to Variety.
Although the show’s ratings have dipped since Stewart exited, Noah has gained headlines since the election for segments such as his recent interview with right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren. According to Variety, the show has also seen its multiplatform streams increase 180% from a year ago.
“The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” airs weeknights at 11 p.m. on Comedy Central.
