Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ first interview since the 2024 election will happen on Thursday night as she heads to “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
She previously stopped by the CBS program back in October, when she bluntly called out all the ways President Trump has lost in the past, including the 2020 election.
The announcement of her return to the talk show came Thursday morning just after the news that Harris is releasing a book called “107 Days,” detailing her presidential campaign.
“What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story. My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,” she posted on social media earlier in the morning. “‘107 Days’ is out on Sept. 23. I can’t wait for you to read it.”
In an accompanying video, Harris explained, “I believe there’s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned and what I know it will take to move forward.”
“In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me: Sometimes the fight takes a while, but I remain full of hope, and I remain clear-eyed,” she said. “I will never stop fighting to make our country reflect the very best of its ideals, always on behalf of the people.”
It’s been a busy week for Harris, as on Wednesday, the former VP also confirmed she won’t be running for governor of California in the next election.
Harris’ stop at “The Late Show” comes as fans of Colbert continue to lament his cancellation by CBS.
The network previously said that the choice to cancel the long-running show was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop,” but viewers have questioned the timing, as news of “The Late Show” ending came just days after the host called Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump a “big fat bribe” to ensure the FCC’s approval of the company’s merger with Skydance.
Since news of the show ending next year, Colbert has seen an outpouring of support from viewers and guests of the show alike. Most recently, actress Sandra Oh wished “a plague” upon both CBS and Paramount for the decision.
Stephen Colbert’s interview with Kamala Harris will air Thursday, July 31, at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT.
