Mayor De Blasio Appearing On The Colbert Report Tonight

With each day, we get closer and closer to an era when Stephen Colbert will be jumping to the Late Show and leaving behind his crazed conservative pundit persona on Comedy Central, and we’re not quite ready for that. Still, we have to value what little time we do have left with Stephen Colbert: The Character and one episode is of particular note: Our very own mayor will face off with the comedian tonight.
The whole thing was announced via a funny Twitter exchange, which you can check out below:
.@BillDeBlasio I demand you come on my show! Stop dodging me, Mr Mayor!

.@BilldeBlasio Ok! Sorry I yelled. I didn’t think you’d get back to me so soon. Thanks.

And then here’s the official announcement via @StephenAtHome:
Tomorrow my guest is @BilldeBlasio . Although I honestly don't know if I can trust a New York mayor over 5'2".
