The king of late night chat shows, David Letterman, has come out of retirement and returning to television with a six-episode, 60-minute Netflix talk show series, ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman‘.
Billed as a monthly “event”, the first episode will stream on Friday, 12th January 2018, with a new episode will be made available each subsequent month in 2018.
As the title of the series suggests, the guest lineup for the show are some pretty big names from music, acting, comedy and politics. The first 6 guests announced are George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Tina Fey, and Howard Stern, with President Barack Obama kicking the series off in the first episode next week. This will serve as Obama’s first television talk show appearance since leaving office, so should be compelling viewing!
Produced by RadicalMedia and Letterman’s Worldwide Pants, Incorporated, for Netflix, each 60-minute episode of ‘My Next Guest’ is centred around one extraordinary figure whom Dave finds fascinating. In interviews that take place both inside and outside a studio setting, the conversations are intimate, in-depth and far-reaching, with the levity and humor Dave’s fans know and love.
Field segments will bring Dave to locations far and wide, expressing his curiosity and desire to dig deeper on a specific topic related to the iconic guest featured in the episode.
‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman‘ comes to Netflix from Friday, 12th January 2018, with new episodes arriving monthly throughout 2018.
