"THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT" WELCOMES BACK FORMER FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES MICHELLE OBAMA ON MONDAY, NOV. 14

First Late-Night Appearance in Support of New Book Release, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

NEW YORK - Nov. 10, 2022 - The Peabody Award-winning series THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT today announced that former first lady of the United States Michelle Obama will be a guest on Monday, Nov. 14 (11:35 PM, ET; 10:35 PM, CT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Mrs. Obama's appearance takes place on the eve of her newest book release, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times, an inspiring follow-up to her critically acclaimed, #1 bestselling memoir Becoming. The Light We Carry provides practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in uncertain times, and will be published on Nov. 15 by Crown, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
