The show
will be presented as a standalone special on Netflix and combines two interests
for which Letterman is known for- in-depth conversations with extraordinary
people, and in-the-field segments expressing his curiosity and humour.
After
interviewing SRK in front of a live audience, Letterman said, "The best
part of this job that Netflix has been happy to provide for me is to meet
people. And after each one of these sessions I think to myself, it is a very
smart, very lovely person from whom I have learned things. You would maybe be
at the top of that list."
He has
hosted the first season of the series featuring names such as former US
President Barack Obama, actor George Clooney, Pakistan Nobel Laureate Malala
Yousafzai, hip-hop star Jay-Z, actress Tina Fey and radio producer Howard
Stern. The second season will include conversations between Letterman and Kanye
West, Ellen De Generes, Tiffany Haddish, Lewis Hamilton and Melinda Gates.
