David Letterman Is Coming to Netflix to Host a New Talk Show!
Have you missed David Letterman? Well guess what… he’s returning to host a six-episode untitled series on Netflix.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will feature in-depth interviews as well as topics outside of the studio. The deal comes two years after signing off on his hit CBS show The Late Show, which he gave to Stephen Colbert. To date, David was the longest-serving host in the U.S.
“I feel excited and lucky to be working on this project for Netflix. Here’s what I have learned, if you retire to spend more time with your family, check with your family first. Thanks for watching, drive safely,” Letterman said.
“Just meeting David Letterman was a thrill; imagine how exciting it is for me to announce that we will be working together,” Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said. “David Letterman is a true television icon, and I can’t wait to see him out in the wild, out from behind the desk and interviewing the people he finds most interesting. We’ll have to see if he keeps the beard.”
