Rick Santorum is scheduled to appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on May 8.

The show announced the guest spot and it was also confirmed by his camp to ABC News.

The stop to Leno's Burbank couch comes only 4 days after the former presidential candidate is scheduled to meet Mitt Romney in their first sit down meeting.

Santorum has said he expects to endorse the presumptive GOP nominee after they meet on May 4.

Until now he has not wanted to express his clear endorsement of Romney and it's possible he is waiting for a bigger venue after their meeting.

"The Tonight Show" could very well be the stage he has chosen, but those close to the former Pennsylvania senator said a joint appearance with Romney is also possible.
