Herman Cain booked on 'Late Show'

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Republican U.S. presidential hopeful Herman Cain has been booked to appear on "Late Show with David Letterman," CBS said Wednesday.

The syndicated columnist, a former president and chief executive officer of the Godfather's Pizza chain, is to make his first visit to the chat show Nov. 18.

CBS noted in a news release how Cain "has run a unique presidential campaign thus far, marking him as one of the front-runners for the 2012 Republican nomination."

Several women have accused Cain of sexual harassment. He has denied any wrongdoing and called the allegations "baseless."
