Obama is the first sitting president to appear on late-night television. He appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman in 2009, came back to Leno’s show in 2011, and he’s made appearances on both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Meanwhile, fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is going to be yukking it up with the president and the press corps this Saturday at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
