NEW YORK, N.Y. – President Barack Obama will appear on “The Daily Show” on Thursday.

Comedy Central announced the booking Friday. It will be Obama’s sixth guest visit to Jon Stewart’s program, and his second since taking office as president. He also appeared on “The Daily Show” days before the election in 2008.

Stewart recently engaged in a mock presidential debate with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly in Washington.
