Late Night Show Host

In 2004, President Obama made history by becoming the first black President of the United States by promoting and promising change. Not only has Obama made history in a substantial way but also on a lower scale; President Obama is the first sitting president to appear on late night television. The President has appeared on the Late Night Show with David Letterman four times and other shows such as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Jay Leno Show.
Presidents have used the media by giving speeches, press conferences in hopes to set the agenda but the President appearing on late night television may be a different tactic. Every so often polls come out portraying the population's feelings about the President. Whether it be the approval rating or thinks he is doing a good job or not, the president using late night television could be a way boost these numbers. Not everyone may like the decisions he makes as the commander-in-chief or simply as the executive office but by him appearing a nationally televised television show may show a different side to him. The host's of these shows have the opportunity to show a different side of the President and can make him more relatable to the electorate.
