My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman - Season 1
What we see about famous persons is so little compared to what David Letterman tries to find out by meeting and talking to them. Six episodes contain six famous persons, Barack Obama, George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Tina Fey, and Howard Stern who all open their books to David.

Many of us know Letterman to be an intelligent man with views and opinions, but rarely, if ever, has he allowed himself to be so vulnerable, so open without the expectation of a laugh in return.

Letterman interview show light on humor, heavy on insight.

My Next Guest Needs No Introduction is pleasant, entertaining, occasionally moving, a little funny, and almost indistinguishable from a standard late-night interview, just stretched out.
January 12, 2018
But the first hour of "My Next Guest" - Letterman has planned five more monthly episodes - is a frustrating exercise in talking a lot but, ultimately, saying very little.

Perhaps Netflix should give the ex-President his own chat show and allow Letterman go back to lavishing attention on his beard.

With My Next Guest, it's hard to shake the feeling that we're seeing more of the "real" Letterman than we did in decades of broadcast TV.
January 12, 2018
TV needs the curiosity and irreverence of David Letterman, now more than ever.
January 19, 2018
Letterman appears to be resting easier as well, and perhaps that will yield more resonant material-and deeper interviews.

If this show continues to live in that gray area, it'll keep what makes it worth watching. It may not be a hit, but it'll still be a distinct pleasure to have it.
February 16, 2018
My Next Guest is an ingenious way for him to get back to work, with no pressure to entertain and no pretense of starting a new career. And with its ornery edge, it definitely feels like vintage Dave.
