The former prime minister will join former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter as one of six former or current heads of state to appear on the show, which will air across the US tomorrow night.

A spokesman for Mr Blair said: "The Daily Show have been asking Tony Blair to appear for some time and Thursday seemed like a good time before he starts teaching his course on 'faith and globalisation' at Yale University the next day.

"The course will explore how faith traditions and globalisation may influence each other and why understanding this process is important in the 21st century."

In March, it emerged Mr Blair was to further his interest in religion by teaching at Yale, where his eldest son Euan studied international relations. Mr Blair converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism just before Christmas.

Since leaving No 10, Mr Blair has become Middle East envoy for the "Quartet", the EU, the US, the UN and Russia. He has also earned millions from consultancies in the world of financial services.
