In what was either an organic Twitter booking or a thinly-veiled publicity stunt, Stephen Colbert booked New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for “The Colbert Report” on Twitter.
.@BillDeBlasio I demand you come on my show! Stop dodging me, Mr Mayor!

After this first tweet, the Mayor swiftly responded.
Sure, @StephenAtHome. How about Wednesday?

Colbert apparently had to check with his schedulers, followed by doubling down on his original request.
.@BilldeBlasio Wednesday? Hold on…let me get back to you.

The Mayor remained calm, cool, and collective.
As I said before, @StephenAtHome, Wednesday works for me. See you then!

Mayor de Blasio will appear on “The Colbert Report” Wednesday night on Comedy Central.
