Joe Biden To Be First Vice President In Office To Appear On "The Daily Show"

November 17, 2009 6:15 a.m. EST

New York City (CNS) - Jon Stewart may have a few vices, but this is the first time that he'll have a sitting Vice President in his midst.

Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to appear on the November 17 episode of the Comedy Central news show "The Daily Show." The show, which will air 11 p.m. ET/PT, is a "Daily Show" first: the only episode yet to have a vice president appear while holding the office.

This is not Biden's first time sitting on the "Daily Show" panel, however. The former Delaware senator has been a "Daily Show" guest five times before, most recently in an August 2007 episode, while he was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2008 election. He also discussed these plans in the episode he appeared in directly before this, in January 2007.

Though he has not been on the show since being elected, President Barack Obama also has been a frequent "Daily Show" guest, with his last appearance only weeks before the 2008 election. Since being in office, Obama has recently appeared on other talk shows, such as "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Late Show with David Letterman" and Comedy Central's own "The Colbert Report," which airs alongside "The Daily Show."

"The Daily Show" has had numerous political guests, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter; former Vice President Al Gore; Senators John McCain and John Kerry; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid; Secretary of State Hilary Clinton; and Speaker of the House Representative Nancy Pelosi.

"Daily Show" host Stewart welcomed General Pervez Musharraf, President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in September 2006, which was the show's first time featuring a sitting head of state. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bolivian President Evo Morales, former Mexican President Vicente Fox and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf have also been "Daily Show" guests.
