(CNN) - Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden is set to join Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show," Obama-Biden spokesman David Wade tells CNN.
This will be Biden's first late-night talk show appearance since being named to the number two spot on the Democratic ticket. Beau Biden, Biden's son, appeared on the late-night mainstay on September 16.
Sen. Biden, who was recently parodied on "Saturday Night Live" after his debate against Gov. Sarah Palin, will appear on the talk show on October 16.

I'll stay up to watch this....
Why isn't anyone the media talking about the mob atmosphere at McCain/Palin campaign rallys? After being incited by McCain and Palin, the mobs surrounding them appear ready to get a rope and lynch Obama!
This has to be the nastiest, most unAmerican campaign I've ever seen. Aren't there laws against inciting riots? These two and their supporters are threatening to destroy this country, and the media seems happy to urge them on.
I LOVE BIDEN AND HIS NO BITING LIP TALK. HONEST AND DIRECT.
wtg, I'm looking for it and I hope, it will be just great. The day after the last debate, well I guess he has a lot to slam McSame with
Can't wait to watch you, Joe! America loves you and Barack! Can't wait to see you both sworn in after Nov. 4!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!
Can't wait. He's got a wonderful sense of humor.
GO O.... Go Joe
Great. Biden can answer questions unlike someone else we know. Hint: Ms. Six Pack American ( the liquored up crowd)..
Tonight? Is he gonna be on tonight?
WE LOVE YOU JOE.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW.
Yaaaay – that's the day 7 adults in my family will early vote for "THAT ONE" here in NC.
Obama/Biden '08
Bid And Lost.... Mr Biden. Sarah Palin, would find a good price, for you, on E-Bay..... But you would never accumulate, Your own expectations.... Mr Biden? I suggest, you keep hiding...
well, these ads are so bad!
McCain doesn't have any plan to offer.
these ads don't help any American, who's in trouble in those days!
in times of such a crisis, no smart American voter cares about something, that happened decades ago. come on,
Look at the national polls (one has Obama leading by 11%), look at the battleground states, also including WV. they all are leaning towards Obama, because he's talking the issues, The repugs do not!!
CNN has Obama leading comfortable and I'm looking for election night and CNN projecting Obama the New POTUS.
Obama/Biden in a landslide, becauce finally America wakes up!
Hey CNN, nothing on voter fraud from acorn? Yeah, a real trusted source of news.
GO JOE!!!! TELL IT LIKE IT IS – AMERICA NEEDS AN HONEST PERSON!
AMERICA...WAKE UP..Do not let up the pressure on the McCain campaign to allow the GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN to do interviews on the Sunday morning NEWS show, WITHOUT DADDY McCain by her side. If she is so qualified there should be NO FEAR in allowing her to meet with Wolfe Biltzer, Campbell Brown, Tom Borkaw, etc. BEFORE the election....DO NOT LET UP...KEEP COMPLAINING..it is only the way it MIGHT happen. this is a woman that COULD become the Vice President and/or President of the greatest nation on the planet!!!
Go Joe!!!!!!!!!
Good for you Joe. Where the hell is Sarah Palin? Stop hiding missy in lipstick.
Why? Do's CNN? Carry on with this self-destruction.... I have been there..... America!! You Lose America!!!!!! You and Larry King Favor Borack Obama..... Me? I kinow, oh so Different........

Biden or other, I am so happy that I just convinced two demacrat freinds to vote McCain........ The work will not stop....... Obama is empty and Democrat are responsible for us crisis..... Bad game.. Pushing obama will put you in history, well I prefer Palin history......... By the way cnn people saying that obama is very smart because he went to harvard......... think about this lie....yes he went to harvard because he belong to ...............

Obama/Biden '08
When does Lay get to invite Barack?
long overdue.
take America back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes yes we can
lets all talk about the truth
Please Senator, we need the both of you in the White House. McCain and Sarah would be a major disaster, they have not acted in a professional manner throughout this election.
Go GET HIM!
We should all stand up and speak up about these rallies. They have gone so low and we should not put up to this BS. Please people, speak up and Please VOTE. ALL 50 STATES-BLUE!
Go Biden!!!! smart guy with good sense of humer that's why they have a lot of chemistry with barack. i hope and pray for obama-biden ticket.
AND HERE--------S JOE BIDEN,OUR NEXT VICE PRESIDENT.
I am really getting weary of the repulicans running such a smear campaign, apparently they think they can continue to get away from the real issues worrying most americans , by this nonsense they are trying. I am truly dissapointed in Senetor McCain, I thought he was much more admirable then he has shown himself to be in this campaign....... before this campaign I liked john mccain, I can no longer hold that position...... Its time he and his repulican cronies stop trying to scare the american people and concentrate on actually doing something for the little people instead of all the fat cats .
I have been watching CNN on U.S.A. Election center, t.v. programs also on my computer. I am from Montreal, Québec,C. I did find it very long the primaries and now the presidential. At times I was intrigued , amused also but mainly very interested but, since Palin has been included in the race I feel like it is turning ridicule. Can any american seriously imagine her being the president of the U.S.? I believe that the joke would be on your country as a whole. In sush hard times for you all and also the repercutions for us here in Canada if anyting happen to McCain if he was elected there would not be anyone taking you seriously around the world.
I can't imagine worst nigtmare for the future of the U'S' and also your position on the new worldwide competition. Respect is won not just given on a wimp of an old man.

Cool, wonder if Sen. Biden has anything good to say about John McCain? Taking a page from Sarah Palin I want to talk about Jeffrey Toobin's comment on Anger in the McCain Campaign. I believe he said that anger in the campaign is a losing recipe. Lets look back a few months with the Obama campaign. Several of Obama supporters where angry and asked Obama when he was going to fight back and take the gloves off?? I wonder what the microphones picked up in those rallies? The RNC has stated what is acceptable behavior and what is not in the rallies. Hecklers don't always say nice things either, murderer, etc...This election cycle is not in a microcosm. Perhaps we should look at the whole picture and at both sides. Just like the financial crisis there is enough blame to go around during this election cycle. There is a schism in congress right now and it shows in this political cycle.
cc. Fox News
Mcain: I would rather lie to the country to win an election
The RNC ticket is living in the past. We want to know what are their plan for now and for the future economy. They seem to stuck in the past trying to tie Barack to staff that happen when he was eight years old. McCain was an adult when Keating 5 happened. He knew what he was doing and we need to question his character and Palin character for firing that guy because he refused to fire her ex brother in law.
Ugh!
Guess I will watch Letterman tonight!
Dear Senator Biden, I love to see you in teh TV again...at least you know what u are talking abaout and what are our problems here in the US.
Keep it coming Joe, we are all behind you. That is the sane people left in this country not trying to incite a race war that will destroy our country forever.
This should be pleasant. Can't wait. We will probbaly hear some Malibu Barbie jokes. She deserves it. Soon she'll be indited for firing the Trooper boss.. lol.. Oh boy will the poop hit the fan then. SNL with be paying Tina Fey for the next year.
Joe I have you in my prayer tonight, may God give you strength and wisdom as you carry is duty, thanks again for bringing the country together as we go through this difficult time, when our economy is slowing down and everything seems impossible but together we will make it.
Biden is going to be a fantastic VP for the people! When you think about it, Obama and Biden represents all of us. They are the team we need, right now!!!!!
We Luv you Biden. Keep it going.
Way to Go Vice President Joe!!!!
Joe Biden actually does interviews... unlike some other VP candidates.
I love joe!!!!!!
OBAMA/PALIN U HAVE MY VOTE
Biden for VP... The real american hero!!
Im with you Joe Biden... Youre an honest wrrior, and I respect the heck out of ya'!!!!!
Im gonna make sure you and Obama make it to the white house on Nov 4th 2008!
more I watch Joe more I started to like him, he is a real deal, Obama picked the right guy...wise leader
I like when Sen. Biden says ..this is Marlakey!
Obama – Biden – 08!
Why would any one in their right mind trust Obama?
I'll make it a point not to watch.
Repubs dont love America, only Money. They are sick. They may start losing homes soon. It would serve them right. The hateful A–holes.
I strongly believe if Sarah makes it to the White House, one of those DC black guys will soon be banging her.
Joe you are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Biden is a hard guy not to like.
I'm glad Joe Biden isn't afraid to be interviewed .He is a great person and up front on talk, Sarah Palin need to learn from Joe.
How any American can support the McCain/Palin campaign is baffling. They would do nothing but destroy this country. They are simply sickening!
Joe Biden is truly admirable and honest. He and Senator Obama are both refreshing and extremely intelligent. This is the EXACT combination this country needs. How can we go wrong with these two steering us in the right direction? May God bless both of them and this great nation of ours.
I hope they ask him about this! Obama twists the truth or lies?
Obama did indeed vote against a bill in the Illinois State Senate that was identical to the federal legislation that sought to protect babies who survive abortions."
Mr. Obama's stand on the issue is significant. The federal "Born Alive Infant Protection Act" sailed through the Senate in 2001 on a vote of 98 to 0. The bill was supported by Senator Barbara Boxer, the body's leading pro-choice spokeswoman, and was not opposed by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League. By getting his facts wrong, Mr. Obama is now in the difficult position of trying to explain why he voted against a bill that the legislative record shows addressed infanticide rather than abortion.
Joe keep fighting the good fight. You are a strong man that is able to take a lickin. and keep on ticking. You and Jill and the family are in our hearts and prayers! Onward to Victory!
Go Joe
Joe Biden, Me and NY think you are the greatest! You keep that ole windbag winded! We are with you! OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!
I will record The Tonight Show to make sure that I don't miss it. Obama and Biden needs to campaign together. I love Mr. Biden's spirit. This confirms that Obama has good judgment again!
I have it marked on my calendar. It will be so refreshing to watch Joe on Saturday Night Live versus John and McCain on the Obama Attack Express. I'm waiting for the "Death of a Salesman" author to write a new book entitled, "The Death of the Republican Party 2008"
OBAMA/BIDEN 08 !
Yay!!!! Joe you are awesome.
Obama Biden '08
Take our country back from the neo-con right wing nutjobs that have been running the White House the past 8 years
Knock um' dead, Joe....
I hope the Honorable Senator Joe Biden also goes on the David Letterman show.
YES!!! I can't miss Leno show tonight. Joe is the man. Joe has all kind of personality and that's why I like about him. He seems to be cool guy to hang out. Oh well.
Joe Biden and I have something in common: we are both survivors/we are called "cranies"- so, in his bio- I see that he had brain surg. the same time that I did. Perhaps that is why I am so proud of him. I continue to practice every day- and have two offices. He is definitely a great choice!!!!
Joe, you truly are a moral man with integrity! I wanted Obama to pick Hillary as VP, but he has proven he made a wise choice in Joe Biden. Please, please, please keep speaking out on the disgusting, racist tone of John McCain's campaign. When John McCain's supporters are yelling "terrorist" or 'kill him" of Obama someone needs to speak up and Joe Biden did it so well. America we can't let this angry, hateful party take over the White House. This isn't four more years of the same, it is much worse!
Pray daily for God's protection and guidance through this election!!!
You go Joe!!!!! I wish I could vote, but since I'm only a permenent resident (green card) I can't. I tried to become a citizen but don't have the money right now : (, But as soon as I can I will become a citizen,And will hopefully be there at the polls TO RE-ELECT OBAMA-BIDEN TICKET!!!!!
Being swept under the rug why???
Joe please ask Sen. McCain about the access that AIG has to him through Olin L. Wethington, Chairman, AIG Companies in China . As they sit on there nation building group using billions of tax payer dollars by listing themselves as a non-profit. Please can we have this explained theres building to be done here at home right now. who overseeing this money.

Obama-Biden 2008! These are real people with real personalities and real smarts!
Good luck Joe-
In light of the hate that Sarah Palin has inspired, please inspire the American people to love and accept one another.
Please talk about how this country CAN AND SHOULD be more tolerant to all races, and that this is the great American melting pot. Muslims, Jews, Blacks, and Hispanics are human AND DESERVE respect for their cultures. We are ALL beautiful in God's eyes!
I hate seeing that the word Muslim is so openly hated and despised. This is unacceptable- SHAME ON THOSE who will not vote for a candidate because they falsely believe he is a muslim. He is Christian and lives by Christian values.
YES, We are fighting terrorist extremists, but this doesn't represent the many muslim-Americans who live among us in peace.
STOP THE HATE. THAT'S NOT WHAT AMERICA IS ABOUT.
I was a Hillary supporter and I questioned Obama's pick before I got to know Joe Biden. What a wonderful American!!! Like, President Clinton"I love Joe Biden". I think an Obama/biden presidency is the change we all are looking for.Biden makes me proud to be an American Woman.
Equal time for Gov. Palin so that we can learn more about her.
Go "That One" and "Say it ain't so, Joe"!!!
Good Luck Joe.. have fun!!!
I HOPE YOU TELLL JAY HOW YOU AND OBAMA VOTED FOR THE BRIDGE TO NO WHERE NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE..... this kind of JUDGMENT we JUST DO NOT NEED//// while your there why don't you give the audience something to read like obamacrimes.com or the ALINSKYITE GROUP[ OBAMA WAS THE HEADMASTER]?
You're an awesome man, Joe! You are soooo much better than Palin it is laughable!
I am so utterly disgusted with my party right now...they are desparate and getting so nasty...it is PATHETIC! so sad..
GO JOE!!!
I have a message for Cindy McCain. Cindy, your husband did not vote for the following war funding bills over the past year:
6/26/08 HR 2642 Iraq and Afghanistan War Finding/GI Bill
5/22/08 S Amdt 4814 Funding for Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan
5/22/08 S Amdt Finding for Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan with Provisions Regarding Conduct and Congressional Oversight
3/14/08 S Con Res 70 Concurrent Budget Resolution
1/22/08 HR 4986 Defense Authorizations Bill
11/16/08 HR 4156 Supplemental Appropriations for the Department of Defense and Timeline for Withdrawal
11/16/08 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for the Department of Defense
10/1/07 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
I thought is was funny that Joe found the SNL snip so hilarious. Have a good time and get your message on the issues out there.
This from the Alaskan Independence Party's list of party issues: "The government punishes parents if they chose their childs ciriculum if it is not administered in a government school."
These people can't even spell the word, "CURRICULUM", and don't know that "childs" requires and apostrophe, but yet they don't want the government involved in education. Why does this matter? Because Todd Palin was a member of this organization for years, Sarah Palin's political career was influenced by them, and SHE has the audacity to criticize Obama about his affiliations. WAKE UP AMERICA!!
Everytime I see Joe Biden, I can't help but smile and be proud of the statesman that he is. He is a man of character, dignity, and integrity. I would be so proud to say that he is our Vice President. Barack Obama's choice of Joseph Biden speaks volumes of his judgement! I truly hope that they win.
Your likeability, honesty and your ability to 'tell it like it is' have really won me over. You are a hero of mine 'Uncle Joe'. Have great fun tonight.
Go Obama/Biden.
One man, one vote.
Paul Begala got it right tonight on CNN. while the rest of the commentary and the host Anderson Cooper gives both Campaigns the same and equal scrutiny every evening it is clear the McCain camp is the only one giveing hateful and dispicable rethoric. Mr Begala is the person that finally got it right. The Obama camps rallies have been respectful not calling for McCains head or yelling kill him. Obama has been Presidentual and you should acknowledge this.CNN you should be ashamed to always want to sugar coat MCcains hate filled rallies. You have an obligation to your veiwership. Thanks Paul.
i hope he uses the national stage to point out the lynch mob john mccain has been cultivating at his rallies. something needs to be done beofre real violence breaks out!
People keep saying "take back the flag."
What's Obama going to do, stand on it? That's what his terrorist buddy Ayers did in a picture for a Chicago magazine WHILE BARRY WAS WORKING WITH HIM. Fact check it. Barry knew what Ayers was all about, but you know what they say, birds of a feather...
We'll be watching you Joe. I never miss Leno, one of my favorits & of coarse SNL. I know you'll be a big hit ! Obama / Biden 08-12
Oh it's Leno, not Letterman. My mistake. As Gilda Radner used to say, "That's very different...never mind."
I just had to post this comment.
The tone of the rallies that McCain and Palin have been having are really scaring the crap outa me. It just puts the image in my mind of the KKK getting riled up to go Lynching.
I really hope nothing bad happens in the comming months.
I will add it to the calendar
He was in my hometown of Saint Joseph, Missouri today (I now live in California). My sister went to the rally and had a great time! She said Joe was "fired up" and she then went to the Obama/Biden headquarters and signed up to volunteer. We love Joe and his service to the country. You will be a great VP.
Joe Biden and John McCain' have been friends in the past. It is a shame that lies and dirty tricks have now broken that friendship. Joe Biden's career will florish because he is true to himself and the American people. John McCain's career will end with Ameicans remembering this ugly dirty campaign and not the war hero that at one time put his country first.
Joe has never committed adultery and is a good parent. He is sort of a Washington outsider. He is stable and solid. His children have turned out well. He will not embarrase America because he can have a decent conversation with an interviewer without Obama having to sit next to him.
If Republicans loved America more than money, they would be voting for Obama.
I watch Jay Leno every night and I can't to see you. I think you and Obama are great men and leaders. It would be a blessing to have two great Americans elected as the next President and Vice president.
Jay is good times.
Which of the two candidates is nicer, and calm. This is what is needed to talk to world leaders, not a bully.
McCain often seems confused.
You go Joe!!! Good to you and your family. This country needs honest people like you and Barack to restore the faith in America and bring about world peace. It is despicable that Palin is inciting the crowd with such hate mongering. My fellow Americans : let us prove that we will not tolerate such racism. A VOTE FOR OBAMA-BIDEN IS A VOTE FOR PEACE! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS Y'ALL
if anything tragic happens to obama, GOD forbid, because of the hate that mccain and palin are inciting in ameriKKKans, be prepared for a civil war.
I'm so glad he's on this ticket, and I really wish he would get down and dirty with the other side. They are throwing out too many crap but Obama should not stoop to their level. Joe and all the serrogates need to call out all their dirty deeds all their lies and all thier ties, hit them with our kitchen sink since they are throwing out theirs as well as thier toilet with all the rediculously hateful stuff. I'm so mad at them and I wish Joe would just give them more punches. It is sickening their Klan rallies, and for a presidential mominee to incite it and not do something about it is completely wrong. He's turning into a demom.
I've marked my book to watch this – it will be fun because Biden has a sense of humor versus Grumpy POW and Caribou Barbie!
