Tony Blair: To make 'Late Show' debut

Tony Blair, the former prime minister of Britain, is set for his first appearance on David Letterman's "Late Show".

U.S. network CBS said on Wednesday that Blair will be the guest on the late-night chat show on Tuesday, September 8.

Letterman has hosted many political figures, including President Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.

On the "Late Show", Blair is likely to talk about his current projects, including pushing for peace with Palestinians and seeking a climate change agreement.

Tony Blair was the prime minister of Britain from May 2, 1997 to June 27, 2007.

Blair has launched his "Tony Blair Faith Foundation" to promote respect and understanding about the world's major religions and to show how faith is a powerful force for good in the modern world.

Actress Julianna Margulies, who is promoting her new series on CBS, will also attend the show along with Blair.
