It’s the president's first appearance on the “Tonight Show” with Fallon, who took over for longtime host Jay Leno in 2014, according to the network. Obama joined Fallon on his “Late Night” program during the 2012 campaign.

The interview, scheduled to air Thursday night, two days after primaries in California and five other states, will give Obama the chance to weigh in on the 2016 race.

Obama's interview will be taped on Wednesday while he is in New York to attend two Democratic fundraisers.
