While the President-elect Barack Obama figures out what his game plan is for the course of the nation, John McCain’s got some time to unwind, decompress and of course, appear on late night talk shows. This coming week, McCain is set to appear on NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, McCain who is a former Naval officer and prisoner of war in Vietnam is set to join Leno this week in honor of Veteran’s Day. The Reporter went on to say, “That McCain chose Tonight instead of David Letterman's Late Show on CBS may have its roots in the campaign. Letterman repeatedly roasted McCain for canceling a September guest shot because of the economic crisis, finally relenting when McCain came on and said he had ‘screwed up.’”

Regardless of his reasoning behind choosing Leno over Letterman (if there is really anything behind the choice – maybe he was just on or planning to be on the west coast this week), it’s nice that McCain is going with a more lighthearted venue for his first TV appearance since the election as opposed to a more serious type of talk show or TV program. People who supported him are likely to want to see him in good spirits.
