Wednesday (Oct. 29) will be Barack Obama Night on your television.The Democratic presidential candidate will appear on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," stopping by the Comedy Central hit on the same evening he addresses the nation with a half-hour network special.
Sen. Obama won't actually be sitting down with Stewart, though. His fourth "Daily Show" appearance, and first since April 21, will be via satellite from Florida.
The episode will be broadcast just hours after Obama's campaign special airs on CBS, FOX and NBC. ABC and The CW will continue with regular programming in the 8 p.m. hour, showing "Pushing Daisies" and "America's Next Top Model" respectively.
With the presidential election rapidly approaching, "The Daily Show" has set audience records, averaging 2.1 million viewers per night in October. Sen. Obama will have to compete with his own spouse for family supremacy. Michelle Obama's Oct. 8 appearance drew a record 2.9 million viewers.
Obama has a long way to go before he can catch up to his Republican rival Sen. John McCain, who has made at least a dozen "Daily Show" appearances, most recently on May 7.
