President Joe Biden’s record-setting absence from media interviews is set to expire, as he is scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Wednesday.
On May 20, Biden reached a milestone not seen in the recent history of the presidency: 100 consecutive days without conducting a sit-down interview with the media.
Comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel tweeted that Biden will be his guest this week as the president makes his first in-studio late-night talk show appearance since taking office.

“Our very elected President @JoeBiden visits @JimmyKimmelLive Wednesday night,” Kimmel wrote. “No malarkey.”

The president was last interviewed by a member of the press on Feb. 10, when NBC’s Lester Holt spoke to him ahead of Super Bowl LVI. Since then, Biden has only held press conferences and taken limited questions from individual reporters.
Biden has done ZERO media interviews in 100 days
Despite his claims of “extraordinary success” and “extraordinary progress,” Biden simply cannot defend his record of FAILURE. https://t.co/ZtjLdhxbOU
