For more than 30 years, David Letterman came into viewers' homes every weeknight, first as host of "Late Night," then on "Late Show." But his fans won't have to stay up late to catch his first major project since retiring from the late-night scene -- hosting a Netflix-original talk show. As the title suggests, there won't be little-known celebrities on this show that features in-depth interviews with guests who Letterman finds fascinating. Each episode includes a far-reaching conversation with a single guest. The intimate conversations take place both inside and outside of the studio, and folks who enjoy Letterman's non-interview segments will get some of that. While there's no monologue, there are field pieces that bring Dave to locations that help him express his curiosity and to dig deeper on a specific topic related to that episode's guest. The A-listers who chat with Dave include former President Barack Obama, George Clooney and Howard Stern.

There are no jokes. There's no grouchiness. There is no longer any instinct for havoc. Instead, it's about a kindly old man being deferential to a succession of people who only partly deserve it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Dec 1 6 funny and original episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more dave d 11/06/2020 Well, the wheels of this bus fell off in a hurry. I watch everything Letterman, but this six episode set will test any fan's patience. Letterman is deferential to people who he shouldn't be. Dave has always had this ability to get to the heart of the matter and this just doesn't meet his standards or ours. See more 11/15/2019 Both seasons are generically interesting, but these interviews could have been done by any number of people and been just as mediocre. Of course everyone changes as they get old, but that's why it's good to retire. David Letterman was interesting and had an edge. My feeling is he's become a better person and we the viewers are worse off for it. These interviews are a boring love fest and not worth watching in the least. Letterman's name gets the wide variety of very cool and intriguing people to show up, but once they do there is no show. It's annoying because one feels hopeful at the start of each interview but then by the end one is certain that it's just ... bleah ... kind of nothing. The Howard Stern one is the only one worth watching in both seasons. On that note Howard has got older and wiser but is still fascinating and entertaining on his show. Howard forever! Hey nowwww.
