After canceling an appearance last month at the last second and causing some bruised feelings (and hilarious rants, parts I and II) on David Letterman's part, John McCain is finally coming back to the Late Show this Thursday, October 16.

Unless the economy collapses a second time and he must suspend his bid for the presidency to rescue it. Or be interviewed by Katie Couric a few blocks over.

Arizona Sen. and Republican Presidential candidate John McCain from a previous appearance on The Late Show. He famously bailed on Letterman in September.

Meanwhile, his running mate, Alaska governor Sarah Palin, is set to appear on Saturday Night Live, the late-night show which has been skewering her of late.

Sarah Palin will appear Saturday, October 25, with a rehearsal date scheduled for the day before. No word on whether Tina Fey will be on the episode as well.
