David Letterman’s new Netflix series will debut this month, with former President Barack Obama giving his first talk show appearance since leaving office, the streaming service announced Friday.
Mr. Letterman’s hour-long show, titled “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman,” is set to premiere Friday, Jan. 12. New episodes will roll out monthly.
Other guests include George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Tina Fey and Howard Stern.
According to Netflix, the “interviews will take place both inside and outside a studio setting. The conversations are intimate, in-depth and far-reaching, with the levity and humor Dave’s fans know and love. 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,” Entertainment Weekly reported.
