TAMPA - Sen. John McCain will make his first post-election TV appearance on NBC's "Tonight Show" on Tuesday.
The Republican presidential nominee is set to join host Jay Leno in honor of Veterans Day, NBC announced.
McCain is a former U.S. naval officer and prisoner of war in Vietnam. Picking a talk show over a news show for his first TV interview guarantees McCain a more lighthearted experience after his loss to president-elect Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, HBO has bought the U.S. rights to a behind-the-scenes documentary on Obama's campaign from actor Edward Norton's production company.
Filming will continue through the inauguration, with the premiere expected sometime in the spring, the network announced. HBO reportedly paid at least $1 million to show the still-untitled film.
