The next chapter in Michelle Obama’s book tour includes a stop on “The Late Show.”
The former U.S. first lady is set to appear as a guest on Monday’s episode of the late-night program hosted by Stephen Colbert, which tapes in New York City, CBS announced Thursday.
Obama’s appearance comes a day before she releases her new memoir, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times,” in which she discusses maintaining her personal and professional relationships and describes how she handles difficult experiences.
She wrote the book after living through the COVID-19 pandemic and the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, she told People in a recent interview.
“We were all at home watching what felt like our country and our world unraveling,” Obama said. “The death tolls mounting, violence, the insurrection, healthcare system crushed, all of it. I was in a low place.”
The Chicago-born Obama, 56, came out with her first memoir, “Becoming,” in November 2018.
The wife of former President Barack Obama previously appeared on “The Late Show” last year. Next week will also see NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” welcome Bruce Springsteen as a guest and performer every day between Monday and Wednesday.
