President Obama is scheduled to appear on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show on Thursday, marking the first time that a US President has appeared as a guest on the show. Presidential candidates have appeared on many late night shows in the past, but this is the first time that a serving US President has done so.
The pre-recorded show will be part of Obama’s trip to California to promote and discuss his economic plan. The President will also be holding a town hall meeting on Wednesday in Costa Mesa and touring an electric vehicle factory in Pamona.
