First Lady Michelle Obama will guest on Stephen Colbert‘s “Late Show” on Monday, Sept. 28.

“It’s always an honor to have the First Lady,” said Colbert. “Better than that, it’s always fun!”

This time around, Obama will highlight “Let Girls Learn,” an initiative that seeks to help the more than 62 million girls around the world, half of whom are adolescent, attend school and complete their educations.

The First Lady will also highlight her “Reach Higher” initiative, an effort to inspire American students to complete their higher education. The program aims to rally the country around the importance of post-secondary schooling by exposing students to college and career opportunities, making financial aid and college affordable and inspiring and supporting academic and summer planning.

Colbert has been politician (and politician-adjacent) -heavy since debuting last Monday. He’s already had GOP candidate Jeb Bush, Vice President Joe Biden and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Stephen Breyer. Bernie Sanders drops by the program tonight.

“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” is a production of The Late Show Inc. Colbert, Tom Purcell, Meredith Bennett and Jon Stewart are the executive producers.
