My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman makes what could be a pretty seismic bow on Friday January 12...
Having vociferously spoken out against Donald Trump since his inauguration, David Letterman gets to talk to the man many wish was still in the White House, Barack Obama, this Friday as part of the new monthly, 60-minute show he's presenting on Netflix.
With it being Obama's first major TV interview since the election, it promises to make headlines around the world, and possibly act as a catalyst for a Democratic Party grassroots renewal.
Other guests during the six-month run will include George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Tina Fey and Howard Stern.
"Produced by RadicalMedia and Letterman’s Worldwide Pants, Incorporated, for Netflix, each episode of My Next Guest is centred around one extraordinary figure whom Dave finds fascinating," we're told. "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 humour 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."
