George W. Bush has named the chosen journalist lucky enough to nab the first post-presidency interview with the former commander in chief: Matt Lauer.

A Bush and Lauer interview will air Monday, Nov. 8 in primetime during a 'Matt Lauer Reports' special, NBC has announced. Bush, who will also join Lauer live on 'Today' during the Wednesday, Nov. 10 broadcast, will discuss "key choices he has made in both his political and personal life" and his book 'Decision Points,' due to be released Tue., Nov. 9.

A little home cooking might have been involved in the decision -- Bush's daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, is a correspondent for 'Today.'

The first post-presidency interview is a real get for journalists, although it sometimes comes in an unexpected form. President Clinton sat down for a television interview with an Israeli TV journalist two weeks after leaving the White House in 2001. President Nixon's first televised interview after leaving office in 1974 in disgrace was with British TV host David Frost in 1977. The interview was later the subject of an acclaimed play-turned-movie, 'Frost/Nixon.'

President Obama made headlines last week when he was interviewed by the panel of ABC's 'The View.'
