Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to appear on Colbert's 'Late Show'
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is scheduled to appear on CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" next week to mark the release of her memoir.
Jackson, whom President Biden nominated to become the Supreme Court's first Black female justice, has been on the bench for two years — the shortest amount of time of any of the justices.
She'll join Colbert for Tuesday's episode, which is expected to be pretaped in front of a live audience at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.
"The Late Show" celebrated Jackson's Senate confirmation at the time on social media with a post that read: "We're celebrating history being made tonight! Ketanji Brown Jackson will be the FIRST Black woman Supreme Court Justice!"
The progressive justice and former public defender has built a reputation as an outspoken member of the nation's highest judicial body — even siding with her conservative counterparts on high-profile cases during her short tenure.
But the public at large has had fewer opportunities to see her after her Senate confirmation hearings.
She recently sat down for an interview with CBS’s Norah O’Donnell and discussed the upcoming presidential election between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, who fought his 2020 election loss through unsuccessful court battles and still faces criminal charges for alleged election interference.
“I think there are legal issues that arise out of the political process,” Jackson said. “And so, the Supreme Court has to be prepared to respond if that should be necessary.”
Jackson, 53, has several publicity stops planned for her book release, including a sold-out discussion at D.C.'s Kennedy Center on Wednesday and in Atlanta next Thursday.
