As Election Day nears in the U.S., Barack Obama is making time for the lighter side of politics with an appearance on “The Daily Show.”

The Democratic presidential nominee, currently campaigning in Florida, will tape his appearance via satellite today (Wednesday).

The show will air on CTV at midnight ET/PT.

It marks Obama’s fourth time on the program, following his April 21 appearance on the eve of the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania.

“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart has been covering the elections under the banner “Indecision 2008.” Republican nominee John McCain has also appeared on the show as a guest.

That won’t be Obama’s only appearance on TV today — he has also bought 30 minutes of prime time on CBS, NBC and Fox to make his pitch to voters.

McCain will be making the case for his own candidacy tonight, with an interview on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
