 David Letterman has amassed an all-star roster of guests for his upcoming Netflix talk show series, which is titled My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. The show will launch Friday, Jan. 12 and a new episode will be stream each subsequent month in 2018 — so the Letterman series is rather unique in the Netflix universe as it has a rather anti-binge roll-out. Letterman’s lineup of influential guests includes George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, JAY-Z, Tina Fey, and Howard Stern. Each episode will be centered around one person Letterman finds fascinating, with the two engaging in in-depth conversations both inside and outside a studio setting. Field segments will bring Letterman 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.” The former CBS host has made no secret of his desire to interview Trump and call the former Apprentice host out on some of his more radical statements and actions since he entered politics.
– Handsome Santa Claus and one-time Late Show host David Letterman has a new talk show on Netflix, and his first guest truly needs no introduction. The Hollywood Reporter reveals the first guest on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman will be none other than Barack Obama. The episode, which hits Netflix Jan. 12, is notable for two reasons: It will be Obama's first talk show appearance since becoming a former president, and it marks Letterman's first return to a regular TV gig since leaving The Late Show in 2015. EW.com quotes Netflix on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction: "The conversations are intimate, in-depth, and far-reaching, with the levity and humor Dave’s fans know and love." A new episode will be available every month. Other confirmed guests include Malala Yousafzai, George Clooney, and Jay-Z—but not President Trump, who Letterman had said he hoped would be his first guest.
