Monday, the White House and the Discovery Channel announced that President Barack Obama is scheduled to appear on Mythbusters December 8th to discuss a myth surrounding an ancient weapon of mass destruction.

Obama, who is the first sitting President to ever appear on late-night talk shows, has recently made the rounds on channels such as ESPN and MTV, unlike previous Presidents who were much more comfortable sticking to the news.

On the show, which is based on exposing historical and scientific tales, the President asks if the show’s hosts can get to the bottom of the myth that Greek scientists set fire to an invading Roman fleet by using mirrors to reflect rays of the sun.

Mythbusters attracts about 13 million viewers per week, and is popular with the 9-14 year old age range.

I love Mythbusters! I’ll definitely be tuning in!
