Just days after being on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Democrat Beto O'Rourke is now set to go on another popular national talk show.

O'Rourke is scheduled to be on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Wednesday along with Kiera Knightly and Martha Stewart.

It's not the first time Texas U.S. Senate race has made an appearance on late night television. Earlier this summer, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the two played a one-on-one basketball game. For two months, Cruz has made his victory over Kimmel a big part of his campaign speeches while touring the state.

O'Rourke continues to get more national attention on the heels of his now-viral video clip of him defending NFL players who kneel during the national anthem as a form of protest. Last week he was on the DeGeneres show thanks largely to that video.
