Clinton's late-night debut of this campaign follows a week where Donald Trump, Jeb Bush and Joe Biden will also be sitting down.

Hillary Clinton is upping her TV appearances. As the 2016 presidential race continues to build momentum, and the first Democratic debate approaches, the party's current frontrunner is now stopping by The Tonight Show.

NBC announced Tuesday morning that Clinton will appear be interviewed by Jimmy Fallon in Studio 6B on Sept. 16. A late-night first for the former Secretary of State since announcing her White House bid in April, it follows a flurry of of other high-profile TV spots.

Clinton's sit-down with ABC News' David Muir is set to air Tuesday night, and will also appear on Ellen DeGeneres' daytime talker during the Sept. 10 episode. Prior to the this week, Clinton has largely been shying away from big TV interviews.


Fallon certainly won't suffer a lack of topics to bring up with Clinton. He's interviewing controversial GOP candidate Donald Trump on Sept. 11. (New Jersey governor Chris Christie appeared at the end of August.)

Late-night is getting very political as both parties look to start thinning the heard in anticipation of next year's primaries. Jeb Bush is set to sit down with Stephen Colbert on his CBS Late Show debut, Tuesday night, and rumored potential candidate Vice President Joe Biden is booked for Sept. 10. The Tonight Show
