Obama to appear on 'Daily Show'

President Obama hits the comedy circuit again on Thursday.

When Obama visits New York City that day, he is scheduled to appear with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, which provides an amusing take on the news.

It may not be all laughs, however; Stewart asked the president some tough questions when he went on The Daily Show in 2010; Stewart has also been critical of Obama's first debate performance against Republican rival Mitt Romney.

Obama and Romney debate again Tuesday, and will no doubt be a Daily Show topic.

The president also has another comedy gig Thursday in New York -- one that includes Romney.

The two candidates are scheduled to give separate speeches at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. The annual charity event features humorous remarks by political celebrities.
