A spokesman for Comedy Central said: 'I can confirm that she will appear as a guest on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday, June 8."

She will visit the university's offices in Manhattan's SoHo district, where Ms Sturgeon before giving the Caledonian Lecture, which focuses on the role of business in society.
She is expected to highlight Scotland's success in attracting US investment and promote Scotland as "a great place to live, visit, do business, study and invest."
Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies said: "It will be an honour as well as a pleasure to welcome Scotland's First Minister to GCU New York.
"Nicola Sturgeon is a passionate advocate for social justice, and I look forward to hearing her thoughts about responsible business. I am sure the audience will find her address both interesting and challenging."
