Colbert Announces That James Comey Will Appear on The Late Show Next Month

Former FBI Director James Comey will be making his first appearance on late night television next month.

On Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert announced that Comey will be joining him on The Late Show on April 17.

“We’re gonna have to get a bigger chair and I’m gonna need a stepladder to interview the guy,” Colbert joked.

It was announced last month that ABC’s George Stephanopoulos nabbed the first interview with Comey, which will be airing as a 20/20 primetime special on Sunday, April 15. Promos for the interview insist that “nothing’s off limits.”

One can expect more interviews since Comey is debuting his new book A Higher Loyalty, which is being released two days later.
