HELL'S KITCHEN — For the first time since moving into the White House, Michelle Obama will sit in Jon Stewart's hot seat.

The First Lady will be a guest on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" on Tuesday, her first appearance on the show since she went on during the presidential campaign in October 2008. She'll tape the segment at the show's Hell's Kitchen studios that afternoon.

Obama's appearance, which will air at 11 p.m. on Comedy Central, will promote her first-ever book, "American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America."

The book shows readers the White House's veggie garden, along with Americans across the country who are working towards eating healthier and growing their own food.

The First Lady has been a frequent guest on the late-night circuit — she appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" in March and "The Colbert Report" in April.
