President Obama will take questions in a live half-hour special on MTV on Friday — two days after he’s scheduled to be Jay Leno’s guest on NBC’s “Tonight Show.”

Sway Calloway will host “Ask Obama Live: An MTV Interview With The President,” live at 5 p.m. ET from the White House; MTV’s Andrew Jenks will be posted at a Washington college with students who have questions. West Coast viewers will see a tape-delayed telecast of the special, which also will be run on MTV2, mtvU, MTV Hits, and MTV Jams, and MTV’s network’s website and mobile platform.

Obama’s also in talks, as is GOP hopeful Mitt Romney, about being interviewed, separately, on the eve of Election Day, during halftime of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

Four years ago, then Sen. Barack Obama and GOP rival Sen. John McCain also sat down for separate interviews that ran during “Monday Night Football halftime.
