Stephen Colbert, the host of The Late Show, told his audience Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has a "special place in my heart" after inviting him to New Zealand last year.
The Prime Minister joined the US talk show host in New York on Thursday afternoon (NZ time) where he announced he'd be visiting New Zealand in October.
"It's a deal - I'm going to New Zealand in October!" Colbert proclaimed, and Ardern responded: "I'll pick you up at the airport."

It was the second time the Prime Minister had been interviewed by Colbert. The first time was last year on the sidelines of her first trip to the United Nations General Assembly.
In the prelude to Ardern's segment on The Late Show, Colbert said out of all the meetings happening on the sidelines of this year's UN General Assembly, he had been "keeping an eye" on Ardern's one-on-one with Donald Trump.
Ardern met with the US President on Tuesday (NZ time), discussing a wide-ranging of topics. She said Trump was interested in New Zealand's tourism, the gun buyback and the Christchurch mosque attacks.
