A Hoosier is slated to join the conversation with TV host Stephen Colbert on Thursday.

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who recently announced his bid for the White House in 2020, will appear on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

According to CBS's weekly guest announcement, Buttigieg will be on the show along with actor Bradley Cooper.

In 2011, at age 29, Buttigieg, a Democrat, became the youngest mayor of a U.S. city with at least 100,000 residents. From 2009 to 2017, Buttigieg served as an officer in the United States Navy Reserve and, in 2014, took an unpaid leave of absence from the mayor's office to serve in Afghanistan.

While mayor of his hometown, Buttigieg came out publicly as gay and married his husband last year.

Also last year, Buttigieg gained national attention during an unsuccessful 2017 run for Democratic National Committee chairman.

He is in his second term as mayor and broke the news in mid-December that he would not seek a third, opening the door for his presidential bid.

His book, "Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future", which chronicles success stories from his time as mayor and in the military, will be released Tuesday.

Buttigieg hosted a book launch and signing event at Century Center in South Bend Sunday.

"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is on weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.
