Stephen Colbert announced Tuesday night that he has booked former FBI Director James Comey for CBS’ The Late Show on April 17. It will be Comey’s first late-night appearance. He was fired by President Donald Trump last year. “We’re going to have to get a bigger chair and I’m going to need to get a stepladder to interview the guy,” Colbert joked of the 6-foot-8 Comey. April 17 just happens to be the same day Comey’s upcoming book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, will arrive in stores.
